Friday Night Happy Hour: Bye Bye Bye

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

1. The Steelers have an early Week 5 bye. Since the team has a decent-sized list of injuries right now and it’s right after their international game, do you think the bye came at the right time? Or would you have preferred it later in the year?
2. The Steelers won’t be playing this weekend. What NFL game are you most looking forward to watching in Week 5?
3. PFF has received some deserved criticism for grading Aaron Rodgers as the worst quarterback in the NFL. Most would agree Rodgers isn’t an MVP-caliber player anymore, but he’s certainly far from the worst. In what tier of NFL quarterbacks would you place the 2025 version of Aaron Rodgers?
4. If Calvin Austin III misses some games, which Steelers wide receiver should get the biggest boost in snaps as his replacement?
5. We’ve talked plenty about whether the Ravens or Steelers can win first place in the AFC North. But what about the other two teams in the division? Do you foresee the Burrow-less Bengals or Dillon Gabriel-led Browns getting last place?
6. Bad Bunny has been announced as the halftime performer for this season’s Super Bowl. Thoughts on the choice? And who would be your ideal Super Bowl halftime show?

Song of the night (Not my usual recommendation; it’s for the bit — but did you know NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick is a Steeler fan?):
