Season 15, Episode 68 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Sunday night episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers' Saturday road loss to the Baltimore Ravens and where the team sits in the AFC playoff picture.

We go over the Saturday inactive list the Steelers turned in and how it included all five players on the injury report. We go over it being a very minor surprise that DT Larry Ogunjobi and CB Donte Jackson did not suit up Saturday and how it resulted in CB Cory Trice Jr. being active.

The Steelers sustained injuries to CB Joey Porter Jr. and WR Ben Skowronek in Saturday’s loss, so we discuss what HC Mike Tomlin said about the statuses of those two players on Sunday in addition to him being hopefully to get some injured players back for the Christmas Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Alex and I discuss several other things that Tomlin said during his postgame press conference as well as his Sunday afternoon press conference. We go over what Tomlin had to say about the team possibly having interest in recently waived WR Diontae Johnson. We also give our thoughts on whether there’s a chance Johnson winds up back with the Steelers.

After all the housekeeping is out of the way, Alex and I dive deep into recapping the Steelers' Saturday loss to the Ravens. We focus our early talk on the play of the Steelers' defense. We go over the three touchdowns allowed by the defense, the inability to stop Ravens RB Derrick Henry and much more. We discuss the positive play we saw out of a few defensive players on Saturday.

After fully dissecting the defense, Alex and I focus on breaking down the play of the Steelers' offense on Saturday. We talk quite a bit about the two turnovers by QB Russell Wilson. We spend a lot of time going over Wilson's fumble. Additionally, we go over the play of Wilson outside of his two turnovers.

Alex and I discuss WR Calvin Austin III stepping his game up of late. We also discuss a few play calls from the loss to the Ravens and that includes the deep fourth down pass to start the fourth quarter. We discuss the playing time of RB Jaylen Warren, the running game overall, and much more concerning the offense.

Alex and I make sure to talk a little about special teams play from Saturday and several key moments from the loss to the Ravens.

This 131-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.

Season 15, Episode 67 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they continue to prepare to play the Baltimore Ravens Saturday on the road.

We go over the Steelers' Thursday injury report and highlight the fact that the team will not have WR George Pickens on Saturday against the Ravens. We also discuss S DeShon Elliott being doubtful for Saturday’s game and OLB T.J. Watt seemingly being ready to play against the Ravens.

Will Watt be on any sort of snap count on Saturday in Baltimore and will the Steelers at least have CB Donte Jackson for this contest? We attempt to answer those questions and also look at what the Saturday inactive list is shaping up to be.

The Ravens are also dealing with key injuries at the wide receiver position ahead of Saturday's game, so we go over that topic early in this show as well. Will WR Rashod Bateman play through his foot injury? Will he be impactful even if he does? We discuss his situation ahead of Saturday's game in Baltimore.

Steelers coordinators Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin both held their weekly media sessions on Wednesday, so Alex and I parse the meaningful things that each had to see during his session.

Alex and I proceed to give our full breakdown and preview of the Steelers' road game against the Ravens. We go over what we have observed in the last few weeks from the Ravens, what the Steelers must do on both sides of the football to win, and much more.

Later in this show, Alex and I give our picks for all of the Week 16 NFL games against the spread. This segment also includes our final score predictions for the Steelers' game against the Ravens. One of us has the Steelers beating Baltimore.

Season 15, Episode 66 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they start preparing to play the Baltimore Ravens on the road Saturday.

With their first official injury report out for the Steelers on Tuesday, Alex and I go over it as we look ahead to which players may or may not play on Saturday against the Ravens. We also go over the recent transactions made by the Steelers on Tuesday as well.

A few players comments from both the Ravens and the Steelers are covered early in this show. We discuss how big of a game this upcoming one is for the Ravens and how the Steelers can still win the AFC North should they lose on Saturday in Baltimore.

The third episode of AFC North Hard Knocks dropped on Tuesday night so Alex and I make sure to recap all of the notable things to come out of that. We discuss several segments that QB Russell Wilson and HC Mike Tomlin were in.

With the all-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 15 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles now fully digested, Alex and I give our extended thoughts from that game when it comes to offensive and defensive play. We discuss the offensive attack by the Steelers, the scheming of the defense, a few key third downs allowed and a few other significant plays from that contest.

The Atlanta Falcons made an interesting decision at the quarterback position on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss that for a bit. We go over what is likely to happen with veteran QB Kirk Cousins and how we don't see him being a good option for the Steelers if they need to find an option other than Wilson or QB Justin Fields.

Should the NFL expand to an 18-game season and add to the number of teams that make playoffs? Would fans be in favor of that? We discuss that topic briefly later in this show.

This 84-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.

Dec. 17 – Ep. 38: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe and Ross start by breaking down the blowout loss to the Eagles. We discuss how the Steelers had their chances to sneak out a win, but were largely dominated on both sides of the ball. We talk about the drastic loss in time of possession and whether that's a worry moving forward for the Steelers in the playoffs. We also talk about some controversial calls from the game that all seemed to be slanted against the Steelers.

For the second topic, we discuss the injury report from Tuesday including T.J. Watt, DeShon Elliott, George Pickens, Justin Fields, and Donte Jackson failing to practice. We discuss whether any of those players are likely to play this week and what it means if they don't.

For the third topic, we preview the upcoming Ravens game and how the Steelers can clinch the division with a win. We talk about the Steelers needing to do more than their last game against the Ravens if they hope to win on the road.
