PM Team FULL Show 12-20-24

NFL great Patrick Peterson joined the show. Pat Pete is not picking the Ravens to win tomorrow and cited the history of Lamar Jackson struggling against the Steelers. Pat thinks Cordarrelle Patterson should get a lot of snaps in a game like this. The guys asked Pat what the offense can do without George Pickens on the field. Pat described the key to win as a collective effort and what we need to see out of the defense. Pat likes Patrick Queen to have a big day.

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from the Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Pittsburgh guy AQ Shipley said the Steelers will get pounded by the Ravens tomorrow – does Mark agree w/ his Pat McAfee cohort? Mark talked about the officiating crew in the game tomorrow. Some breaking news as the Ravens waived Diontae Johnson, which provided some reaction. But what about Mike Williams and the Steelers and his lack of participation so far? Mark talked about the job done by Arthur Smith so far and what else he would like to see. More w/ Mark – We reacted to the Diontae Johnson news a little bit more as the former Steelers WR just set millions of dollars on fire by his exit in Baltimore. 3 teams in the span of 9 months isn’t a good look. When it comes to the guy the Steelers got back for him – we discussed if Donte Jackson will play tomorrow. How much of a loss is DeShon Elliott for a game like this? The guys asked Mark about the tandem in the backfield and what kind of split we will see tomorrow. More w/ Mark – Mark talked about his time in the middle school band when he played trumpet. Mark does not think Diontae Johnson will end up back in Pittsburgh. Mark doesn’t like the Steelers chances to win the game tomorrow, but still says they have a ‘great shot’ to win the North. Who needs to have a big game besides Russell Wilson for the Steelers to win? Mark is curious as to how healthy TJ Watt will look. We quizzed Mark on a few Steelers-Ravens questions.

Do the Steelers need to win the division to win a playoff game or can they win one on the road? The guys think yes, but it does provide added pressure if they are hosting a game. They’ve only lost 1 game at home this season. How important is health? The guys debated how healthy TJ Watt is going into this one. If the Steelers win this game, guys can be rested. We also found out what Mullsy got us for Christmas and had a conversation about college volleyball. Former Steeler Bryant McFadden joined the show. BMac talked about where he comes down on this game. He said the Steelers are already exceeding preseason expectations with another season looming in the playoffs. Can the Steelers still get chunk plays without George Pickens in the offense? BMac would feel most confident with a home playoff game against the Chargers. Mega Matchups – Could we see TJ Watt vs Ronnie Stanley?

We are about 26 hours away from Steelers and Ravens as the Steelers hold a chance of winning the AFC North. How are you feeling about it? The Steelers have the innate ability of dragging the Ravens into the mud, Lamar Jackson included. Can they keep that going tomorrow? Would you be OK with a low-scoring loss? Does Omar Khan deserve some blame if the Steelers offense can’t get off the ground again without George Pickens on the field? Baltimore Morning Show host Jeremy Conn joined the show. Jeremy told us what has happened between the Ravens and Diontae Johnson – saying the former Steeler is probably in the doghouse and the team will hope to move him in the off-season. Jeremy gave us an injury report from the Ravens aspect, which will include a few other receivers missing the game tomorrow. Is Lamar Jackson deserving of criticism for the way he tends to play against the Steelers? The guys discussed linebacker play on both sides, with Patrick Queen probably having a chip on his shoulder tomorrow. The Ravens weak link has turned into Justin Tucker over the course of the season – something Jeremy never thought he would say. Jeremy likes the Ravens tomorrow and has a lot of doubts in the Steelers offense.
