Steelers should crush Cards, Penguins comeback win, Jarry goalie goal

Hour 1: The Steelers should win big on Sunday, right? The offense had a better flow against Cincinnati. It all connects together and Eddie Faulkner plus Mike Sullivan are in areas they are comfortable with. Dorin credits Mike Tomlin for putting them in positions to succeed. Mike Sullivan called plays with Eli Manning in New York. The Steelers have fixed a few areas like rush defense. Twitter Poll: Will the Steelers beat Arizona by more than one score? Dorin thinks they score 30 points. It feels somewhat like the offense has found confidence. The Cowboys took care of the bad teams and finally beat a good team last night. That's the difference between the Steelers now, where you want the Steelers to crush a poor team. Broderick Jones said he doesn't feel tired and can keep playing without much worry he could slow down. The college season, 12 games, is much shorter than the NFL regular season. Jones did play CFP games and added two more onto his game sheet. A look at the Cardinals defense. Jeff Carter scored the game winning goal against Tampa Bay and Tristan Jarry became the first goalie to score a goal. Penguins 4-2 victory. Our reaction to Jarry and more. Crowley knows why people don't like the Grinch.

Hour 4: Will the Steelers FINALLY have a blowout win? People keep comparing this game to the Browns and the fact that many believed the Steelers would crush them. These are two completely different teams. We play a game: does this person play for the Arizona Cardinals? The Arizona defense has no big names. Callers test their luck. Deion Sanders was named SI Sportsperson of the Year. We think that's a terrible pick. Vibe check surrounding the Steelers. Crowley wants to see Kenny Pickett throw multiple touchdowns. Stats that matter in the Steelers-Cardinals matchup. The weather could be a factor. Arizona plays two deep safety 55% of the time. We could see Kenny Pickett utilize the middle of the field again. Dorin predicted a big game for Connor Heyward. Arizona is 30th in time of possession.

Hour 3: A look around the NFL at multiple matchups. We discuss Aaron Rodgers' injury and the possibility he could return in three games. The Steelers should root for the Broncos to beat the Texans, but will it matter? Crowley thinks the Steelers could end up with... the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Steelers-Colts will now be Saturday, Dec. 16. NFL schedule flexing. New England got flexed out of Monday Night Football in the first MNF flex. The NFL Draft, which was first reported by the Fan Morning Show that Pittsburgh is interested in, could come to the city in 2026 or 2027. The city applied to host. Don't boo Diontae Johnson. Crowley doesn't think Johnson can handle being booed and will hurt Kenny Pickett because of it. Crowley's hot take: If the Penguins make the playoffs, Sidney Crosby is going to have a Taylor Hall-type run for the Hart Trophy.

More random names we ask callers if they are Arizona Cardinals players or fake names.

Steelers feeling dangerous? Pickett's play Sunday, stepping stones for Steelers offense

Hour 1: Former Steeler Willie Colon said the Steelers are dangerous and are coming for opposing teams. Should teams be worried about the Steelers? The Steelers are giving up 15 points per game in the last seven. Their identity to win is still to play defense and get enough offense. Crowley thinks they're scary. Was Matt Canada or Mike Tomlin conservative with the offense? Dorin thinks it was Canada being worried but was probably both. Crowley thinks the Steelers could have scored 23 points from the Johnson non-TD and final drive. This was a major step in the right direction and might be their best offense in three years. If it looks different but is the same against Arizona, then there's a story. The Steelers controlled the game and time of possession. "I think this was the best game of his career, it's not particularly close." - Crowley on Kenny Pickett. Pickett was 10-14 for 165 on 3rd down and 6-7 in the second half.  A 12 year old fan from Mt. Lebanon called into the show and said the Steelers should fire Danny Smith! Who do you like in the AFC! Dorin thinks the Steelers might be the most complete team in the AFC?! Sunday they were.

Hour 2: Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave the offense a B from Sunday with how they attacked Cincinnati and were aggressive. They weren't living in their fears. Jeff also thought Eddie Faulker didn't overstep Mike Sullivan and they balanced each other for the offense to succeed. Were there in-game adjustments? Diontae Johnson's lack of awareness after the Warren fumble will be difficult to watch on film in meetings this week. Jeff doesn't think he'll be a problem, but is on alert in the Steelers facility. The Bengals only ran the ball eight times! That might be good with Joe Burrow, not Jake Browning. Steelers recipe to success. Crowley feels better about Tomlin than Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, who didn't put together a good game plan. Crowley thinks the Steelers aren't better than the Ravens, but Dorin doesn't think they're far off. Baltimore has the better QB. Kyle Hamilton is a problem and a great player. Would you play Minkah Fitzpatrick this week or against New England? Dorin doesn't think he needs to play against the Patriots and defensive players don't need a tune-up type game compared to offensive guys. Should Frank Reich interest the Steelers? The Steelers should hire a former official to be in the booth to watch out for things to challenge. It should not come to Mike Tomlin watching the replay in the stadium, where the road team won't sometimes show the play!

Hour 3: Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus joined the show. Brad saw a different understanding of the offense. Timing was better. Brad said Pickett looked extremely confident and trusted what he saw. He thinks the Steelers can be a dangerous team and someone an opposing team doesn't want to see in the first round of the playoffs! The game might have passed by Frank Reich. Brad pitched Miami's Brad Smith as being the next OC to run the offense. Did Matt Canada have some of this in his bag but never utilized it? Spielberger thinks a few things changed schematically. Pickett holds onto the ball and doesn't turn it over. Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK said it's ok Crowley cut him off last week to announce Matt Canada was fired and he's heard from youth hockey players that Matt Canada should be gone. He thinks the NHL plays too many games and every game for the Steelers means something. Kennedy knew nothing different than sellouts at Penguin games when he went to other teams. Pittsburgh's passion for sports significantly stood out. The Penguins power play needs someone in front of the net. They need Tristan Jarry to make key stops and play well at the lines.  How does Matt Canada's firing affect Najee and Pat Freiermuth? These guys have been around for three years and now see a different offense where they could possibly have better situations. Freiermuth immediately had a career game.
