2018 Steelers Thread

Outside looking in, I'm more word about going on the road to NOLA than playing NE at home. They hung with the Pats last year and were one rule change away from beating them, and NE looks mortal this year.

If they get steady pressure on Tombrady this may actually be a fun game to watch.

Pats are coming off the "miracle in Miami." They're pissed and are fixing to take it out on the Steelers.

I think the Steelers win this game outright.

"I'm more word"?

Worried.

This is the first matchup between the teams in 10+ years that I actually expect the Steelers to win. I sort of think they'll beat the saints too though. If they lose both then the Drama era will officially be over for me.

I'd bet more money on the Steelers beating the Saints that the Pats. Saints may clinch the #1 seed this week.

But... why? What has this team done in the last three weeks that makes you think they will beat the Patriots? 10 bucks say they try to cover Josh Gordon with a LB.

Because it doesn't make sense. Which is why it makes sense.

That's exactly how I feel about it, MR. This team has had absurd peaks and valleys this year, but most of the valleys have been against the AFC West. Because reasons.

Ordinarily seeing the Pats on the Steelers' schedule makes me queasy, but this year not so much. Which is weird.

Is Gronk playing? Pats win by two touchdowns.

If Kurt Warner is correct, TIL Tombrady vs the Steelers has a 113 passer rating, which is the highest career rating vs one team in NFL history. Sweet.

So, Ben apparently fractured his ribs against Oakland.

They mentioned during the broadcast yesterday that this was completely false and his injury is a muscular soft tissue issue.

Postby **CBear3** » Mon Dec 17, 2018 9:38 am

So can we get back to firing Tomlin and blowing this thing up, please?

Yeah, I heard it shortly after posting that report. Better news for us.

**** DeCastro

But James Conner isn’t good @mikey

Postby **dodint** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 8:21 pm

Cool. Now we get to hear about every bad Pro Bowl selection in history. Lemme get some nachos real quick.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 8:21 pm

Man, that's awesome for that offensive line. They have been just fantastic, and the development they have shown has been admirable.

Mike Munchak is the best O Line coach I've ever seen.
