Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

So he loafed around fat and happy for the first three years and now that it's contract time he's ready to try? Cool. I think there's been a general lack of accountability and leadership on the offensive side of the ball for several years, even back to the last of the Ben days. Contract situations d...

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

Anyone else concerned about the Center situation? Looking around, they have to draft a C in the 1st or 2nd round, don't they? The free agents all look very meh (except Connor Williams, who tore his ACL late last year), and we've currently got, who, Herbig? on the roster. Problem with drafting one is...

Yes, everything about how GB84 turned out was practically perfect in every way, and any changes to story/script/casting.... any of the known 'alt' versions, really, would've lessened the final result. I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but I was 8 when it came out, and my family went t...

I'm all for making the game safer with the head stuff, but I don't think even players know what exactly a hip-drop tackle is. I looked it up, and from what I can gather it's not so much a technique as it is a result of a runner continuing to run through initial contact, and the defender refusing to ...

When it comes to baseball hat fashion, yes. Call me zuul
What if I don't want to look like a Sumerian, Mesopotamian, or Hittite? Did we run this by Gozer? I don't want to escalate above your head or anything, but is this the official Demigod position, or just minion commentary? ;)

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

I think at this point I'm more excited than optimistic for the season, but that's more than I can say for the last decade or so. Cruz might already be one of those 'don't miss an at bat' type of guys, especially if he hits a hot streak. His power is seemingly effortless. Their lineup on most days wi...

My wife and I were looking for something different the other day and started Cheers from the beginning. Man, that show started out in stride.

Yup, McCandless Crossing is the boundary for me. Once you start heading north from there it's a different feeling. :thumb: When we lived in Oaks of McCandless (now 19 North Apts), we always viewed the Target/Giant Eagle as the transition, but after moving to Glenshaw it's definitely McCandless Cros...

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

The real issue is we don't seem to have a vision at the QB position moving forward. We brought in stop gaps to keep the team above 0.5 for a year, but this team still has a lot of holes to plug in this upcoming draft. I'd much rather have a season below 0.5, so we could actually address the most im...

The Steelers have no plan, no vision. This defense is about to age in dog years before our eyes. Watt getting dangerously lose to the injury prone label, Hayward is as old as Russ Wilson, and minkah is 27 which puts him firmly in middle aged group in the league. These QB moves aren’t some savvy cou...

So DD and theRoo both agree that they improved the most important position on the field, but potentially only slightly. Fair. What could they have done to improve significantly? What plan or vision are they missing out on? Who is the plug and play star QB1 that they missed out on when they were avai...
