Let's bring in the crew again, and I'm delighted to welcome in.

讓我們再次請來節目組，我很高興地歡迎大家的到來。

Dominique is here in Lewis's here.

多米尼克在劉易斯這裡。

D.

D.

Wood and Schefty.

伍德和謝夫蒂。

I will come to you in a moment on the terrible injury news for the Steelers, but let's just start big picture here.

我一會兒會向大家介紹鋼人隊的可怕傷病消息，但我們還是從大局出發吧。

The Steelers, 11 0.

鋼人隊，11 0。

Why Dominique, Do you think Mike Tomlin was so upset?

為什麼多米尼克，你覺得邁克-湯姆林會這麼生氣嗎？

I think like Tom was upset because they didn't play well again against another opponent that they should have dominated.

我覺得像湯姆很不高興，因為他們在面對另一個本該佔據優勢的對手時，又沒有打好。

And he knows they can't afford to drop a game.

而他也知道，他們不能丟掉一場比賽。

I know often we talk about teams who go undefeated late in the season we talk about Should they rest their players late in the year, should they be more focused on the playoffs?

我知道很多時候我們談到賽季末不敗的球隊我們會討論他們是否應該在賽季末讓球員休息，是否應該更專注於季後賽？

I think Mike Tomlin knows that they're gonna need to go 16 0 to guarantee themselves that single first round bye and to give them the best chance to get to the Super Bowl, because I don't think this team is gonna be capable of willing winning three playoff games in a row to get to the Super Bowl.

我想邁克-湯姆林知道他們需要打出16勝0負的戰績來保證自己首輪的單場補賽，並給他們進入超級盃的最佳機會，因為我不認為這支球隊能夠願意連贏三場季後賽來進入超級盃。

They're gonna need that by and they're gonna need tohave Kansas City have to come to Pittsburgh, so he knows how important these games are.

堪薩斯城必須來匹茲堡 所以他知道這些比賽有多重要。

They can't afford to drop any of I get that.

他們不能放棄任何一個我明白。

But Lewis, here's the way I viewed it.

但劉易斯，我是這樣看的。

This.

這個

The circumstances of this game was so crazy with all the delays and all that, the Wednesday afternoon and everything else to me, it felt like just getting the win felt like enough.

這場比賽的情況太瘋狂了，所有的延誤和所有的事情，週三下午和其他的一切對我來說，感覺只要拿到勝利就覺得足夠了。

Did you think it was as alarming from a Pittsburgh standpoint as Tomlin seems to have?

你覺得從匹茲堡的角度來看，是不是像湯姆林看起來那樣觸目驚心？

Yeah, I see what his point is, especially when you're talking about things that really do determine outcomes of games that they didn't play very well at that.

是的，我明白他的意思，尤其是當你在談論那些真正決定比賽結果的事情時，他們在那方面沒有發揮得很好。

They didn't execute very well, that being in the red area.

他們的執行力不是很好，那是在紅色區域。

And then it's far as you know, dropping passes and not executing just basic fundamental principles of football.

然後就是你知道的，丟掉傳球，不執行只是足球的基本基本原則。

Those are the things that he's disappointed that yeah, you know, it has extenuating circumstances with how this week has been has been managed, as far as you know, from a scheduling standpoint, but the drop passes look, these guys are professionals.

這些都是他感到失望的事情，是的，你知道，它有情有可原的情況下，本週已經如何已經管理，就你知道，從調度的角度來看，但下降傳球看，這些傢伙是專業的。

They have one of the best wide receiver chords in the NFL.

他們擁有NFL中最好的外接手和絃。

And you still chase Claypool, Deontay Johnson?

你還在追克萊普，迪昂泰-約翰遜？

Uh, Eric Ebron.

呃，埃裡克-埃布隆

They all dropped passes and they all dropped passes that could have put this game out of reach.

There you have James Washington, so they need to do better at that.

那裡有詹姆斯-華盛頓，所以他們需要在這方面做得更好。

The defense as well as it played, could have played even better, making Fitzpatrick dropped the interception as well.

防守以及發揮，可以發揮得更好，使得菲茨帕特里克也丟掉了攔截。

So I think that those kind of things that coaches always Fred over, and I think they need this by because there by weekends have been messed up all year long.

所以，我認為，這些事情，教練總是弗雷德過，我認為他們需要這個由，因為有由週末已經搞砸了一整年。

They need the rest.

他們需要休息。

I don't I'm not really worried about home field advantage because of the lack of fans this year, And I think no matter where you play, the environments gonna be so sterile, it's not gonna matter anyway.

我並不擔心主場優勢，因為今年缺乏球迷，而且我認為無論在哪裡打球，環境都會很差，這並不重要。

But they just need the rest.

但他們只是需要休息。

They need a full week where they can just sit back and get their guys healed, stay away from the facility because they haven't really had that yet.

他們需要一整個星期的時間，在那裡他們可以坐下來讓他們的人痊癒，遠離設施，因為他們還沒有真正的有。

Brain.

大腦。

Yeah, can I jump in just for a second?

是啊，我可以跳進只是一秒鐘？

Because I was hit with a Mike Tomlin is, um, in my brain when you started laying out all those excuses, because excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

因為我被邁克-湯姆林擊中了，嗯，在我的大腦中，當你開始佈置所有這些藉口，因為藉口是無能者的工具。

That's why Mike Tomlin is the champion and you're out here advocating for shooting for ties, so I'll let somebody else say something.

這就是為什麼邁克・湯姆林是冠軍 而你卻在這裡鼓吹投籃打平，所以我讓別人說幾句。

But when I heard that, that's all I could think of was how Mike Tomlin must have just visited in his sleep.

但當我聽到這句話的時候，我只能想到邁克-湯姆林一定是在睡夢中剛剛拜訪過。

Feeling you make excuses for a team that doesn't want him, that's fair enough on this show.

感覺你為一支不要他的球隊找藉口，這在這個節目中是很公平的。

The standard is the standard NEEK, and we will never forget Schefty.

標準的neek是標準的，我們不會忘記謝夫蒂。

However, the really bad news in Pittsburgh, they fear, is about the injury.

不過，在匹茲堡，真正的壞消息恐怕是關於傷病的。

What do we know about the status of Bud Dupree?

我們對Bud Dupree的情況瞭解多少？

Well, they believe that they're going to learn today that Bud Dupri, their franchise linebacker who did not sign a long term extension tour his A c l.

他們相信他們今天會知道巴德・杜普利 他們的後衛沒有簽下長期的續約合同 他的A C L。

And you saw him go down and you knew right away as soon as he did, it essentially was non contact.

你看到他倒下了，你就知道他一倒下，基本上就是非接觸性的。

He grabbed for the knee.

他抓住了膝蓋。

We've seen it happen over and over and over, especially this year, and he limped off the field and again, the moment he did, you knew that it was going to be a significant knee injury.

我們一次又一次地看到這種情況發生，尤其是今年，他一瘸一拐地離開了球場，再一次，當他離開的那一刻，你就知道，這將是一次重大的膝傷。

Now we'll get confirmation today whether it is indeed a tourney.

現在我們今天就可以確認是否真的是巡迴賽了。

Cl.

Cl.

But that is the expectation that he's gonna have a tourney.

但這是期望他能有一個巡迴賽。

Cl He'll be out for the year and keep in mind what I mean.

Cl他今年會出局，記住我的意思。

You just watch him go down in that play.

你就看著他在那場比賽中倒下吧。

If you keep in mind at this particular time, they already lost Devin Busch toe a season ending injury.

如果你記住在這個特殊的時間，他們已經失去了德文-布什的腳趾一個賽季結束的傷害。

So now they've lost Devin Busch.

所以現在他們失去了德文-布希。

Now they've lost.

現在他們輸了。

But Dupri.

但杜普利。

And now that defense that was the strength of this team is not quite as good as it once was.

而現在，這支球隊的優勢防守已經不如從前了。

Absolutely.

絕對的

And so that's why I want to bring it to my offensive lineman here.

所以這就是為什麼我想把它帶給我的進攻前鋒的原因。

D would if they are indeed now without Dupri the rest of the way.

D會如果他們現在確實沒有杜普利，剩下的路。

From an old line standpoint.

從老行的角度來看。

Just from an offensive standpoint, How much less scary does that make this Steeler defense?

僅僅從進攻的角度來看，這支鋼人隊的防守有多不可怕？

Oh, it makes him a lot less scary, you know, because when you look at it now, you have two guys that were terrorists coming off the edge edge and TJ widened but debris.

哦，這讓他少了很多可怕的，你知道的，因為當你現在看它，你有兩個傢伙，是恐怖分子從邊緣邊緣和TJ擴大，但碎片。

Now, if I'm if I'm on offensive player.

現在，如果我如果在進攻球員。

Hey, we can focus our attention on T.

嘿，我們可以把注意力集中在T上。

J.

J.

White trying to take him out the game plan.

小白想把他從遊戲計劃中拿出來。

And if you don't have that rush that the Steelers are known for because they lead the league in sacks, if you don't have that rush, that pressure that they generally generally been able to get.

如果你沒有鋼人隊聞名的那種衝勁，因為他們的扣球數在聯盟中領先，如果你沒有那種衝勁，那種壓力，他們一般都能得到。

This is a different Pittsburgh Steelers team, and I know they got guys on the back end.

這是一支不同的匹茲堡鋼人隊，我知道他們在後場有了人。

But when you can't pressure the quarterback, that leaves you highly susceptible toe to the passing game and having a lot of success.

但當你不能給四分衛施壓時，就會讓你極易趾高氣揚的傳球，並取得很大的成功。

So those two injuries manage, particularly.

所以這兩個傷病管理，特別。

But Dupri is going.

但杜普利要走了。

I think it's gonna be a difference maker as far as the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, you know, and Nick, at the risk of drawing the ire of Tomlin again by projecting forward, that does feel particularly important.

我覺得這會是匹茲堡鋼人隊防守的一個改變者，你知道的，尼克，冒著再次引起湯姆林的憤怒的風險，向前推算，這確實感覺特別重要。

If we are already thinking about them against Kansas City, right, the ability to get pressure without bringing additional people, that could be a devastating loss, but they do bring additional people and I honestly losing.

如果我們已經在考慮他們對陣堪薩斯城，對的，在沒有帶來額外的人的情況下獲得壓力的能力，這可能是一個毀滅性的損失，但他們確實帶來了額外的人，說實話，我輸了。

But DePriest sad and unfortunate, but I don't think it's gonna hurt their defense nearly as much as the Devin Busch loss But Dupri, I think, benefits quite a bit from their blitz packages.

但是德普里斯特很傷心，很不幸，但我不認為這會傷害他們的防守，幾乎和德文-布什的損失一樣多但是德普里，我認為，從他們的突擊包中受益頗多。

He's not, Ah, one on one game record in a way that T.

他不是，啊，一對一的比賽記錄的方式，T。

J.

J.

Watt is dominates the pass right show losing.

瓦特是主宰傳球權秀輸。

But to pre.

但要預。

Obviously, he's a starter.

很明顯，他是一個主力隊員。

He's a high draft, highly drafted player.

他是一個高起點、高起點的球員。

It matters, but I'm not sure that it changes this defense nearly as much as when they lost.

這很重要，但我不確定它改變了這個防守，幾乎和他們失去時一樣。

Ah, flexible linebacker like Devin Busch.

啊，像德文-布什這樣靈活的後衛。

So a very quick final thought here, Luis Riddick as we look, they have tough games left on their schedule.

所以，最後一個非常快速的想法，路易斯-裡迪克，我們看，他們的日程表上還有艱難的比賽。

They have Buffalo.

他們有布法羅。

They have the Colts.

他們有小馬隊。

Do you believe the Steelers will go 16 0?

你相信鋼人隊會走16 0嗎？

I don't I don't think they'll go 16.

我不我不認為他們會去16。

And no, I think they'll be a slip up at some point in time here simply because it's just human nature.

不，我認為他們會在這裡的某個時間點出現失誤，只是因為這只是人性。

And it's so hard in the NFL.

而在NFL，這是很難的。

And they they've got some tough opponents there that will be geared up because every team is going to shoot for him now.

而且他們他們有一些強悍的對手，會在那裡準備好，因為現在每支球隊都會為他投籃。

Obviously, you know how that goes.

顯然，你知道那是怎麼回事。

But as Mike Tomlin says, another Mike Tomlin is, um no excuses, no explanations.

但正如邁克-湯姆林所說，另一個邁克-湯姆林是，嗯，沒有藉口，沒有解釋。

They'll figure it out.

他們會想出辦法的

No battle.

沒有戰鬥。

Kansas City in the NFC championship game that were already projecting ahead to that.

堪薩斯城在NFC冠軍賽中，已經提前預測到了。

By the way, if you look carefully at the Ravens side of the screen, their remaining schedule is much friendlier.

對了，如果你仔細看烏鴉隊這邊的螢幕，他們剩下的賽程就友好多了。
