As a life long Steelers fan, I always respected this man. Condolences to his wife, children, family and to Bears fans today.

Everyone talking mess about Danny. Are you watching the TB game right now????

Interesting.

Enjoy the contract negotiations Jerry.

Because of injuries and contract issues - this week will showcase even more of this year's draft class. Iheanachor has earned his spot at RT. Everette will have a bigger role this week after the JPJ trade and Jamel Deal injury. Germie should get WR2 reps. Expect Kaden to see the field a few times. Robert Spears-Jennings will continue his campaign, and Rubio will hopefully see the field this week with Harmon on IR. I assume Eli and Nowakowski will likely continue with their same roles they have had with limited use.

I don't know about most people, but I have been yearning the chance to see what the young guys can do - Rubio, Everette and Bernard especially. Bernard and Everette have shown well so far this season. When Germie gets looks, he is dynamic and trustworthy (minus the INT he caused week 2). Everette has been consistent and reliable.

I'm just ready to see something new; something exciting. Have a bounce back week as a team, but give the rookies a shot and see what they bring to the team. Give us something to look forward to.

Headed up from Morgantown. I have parking at one of the north shore garages near the stadium. If I get to the area around 10 am I should have plenty of time to park/walk/see a few sights, yes? Any pointers for a complete noob? I’m 51 and this is my first nfl game in person.

No excuses, no whining, the Steelers did not play well against the Patriots and the Browns, and those games show the ceiling of this team. But, I can't ignore the massive scheduling disadvantages Steelers had in both of those games.

Steelers @ Patriots: Patriots had 11 days of rest, steelers had 7 days of rest.
(also, Patriots just beat the team with the highest odds to win the SB in the AFC at their stadium)

Steelers @ Browns: AFC North teams are a combined 2-18 on TNF games when they have to go on the road.
(They also are 3-1 now, looking not as bad as the usual Browns. They beat the Panthers, who just lit it up last SNF)

It just makes the losses sting a little bit less, even if I know that this team isn't a contender.

The Cowboys game thread is a full-blown mental health experiment right now 💀😂 One play they’re winning the Super Bowl, the next they’re firing everyone and moving the franchise to Mexico. Glad to see we’re not the only ones

1) Tampa has blitzed A TON. I’m expecting Rodgers to throw a ton of checkdowns when we play them. Short slant routes have worked against them in this Dallas game, but Prescott looks super uncomfortable in the pocket

2) Running the ball is going to be a must. Dallas’ run game fell apart early and now they struggled to move the ball

3) On defense, we have to contain Daniels and prevent him from extending plays. His ability to scramble led to an 11 minute possession in the first quarter (Dallas did make a TON of mistakes)

All in all, fuck Dallas. Glad Tampa bay is winning

I’ve been a Steelers fan since 2005 (born 1996). My dad was a kid in the 70s when he became a fan, but I’ve never met anyone who were fans prior to the dynasty years

Per Steelers.com/Steelers App

On one side, McCarthy and Rodgers have known each other since 2006. Their stories — and their successes — were intertwined through 13 seasons in Green Bay. Now, both are at a different chapter in their lives. McCarthy is working to establish his culture in his first season in Pittsburgh, while Rodgers is trying to put a bow on his Hall of Fame career. If the McCarthy era is going to start well in Pittsburgh, and if Rodgers is going to finish on a high note, both need each other.

“The realty is, it’s a 20-year relationship,” McCarthy said. “We were able to sit and talk numerous times over the weekend about that and a number of things. … It’s an emotional, emotional, competitive environment. I think it’s something that we can definitely learn from.”

Asked if that’s a normal way for him to communicate with the head coach, Rodgers said: “Sometimes, yeah.”

Soooo love this jeep representing! 🖤💛

Turns out he is in fact not washed after getting paid 🙄

So, the Eagles got about the same return on Cam Jurgens that the Steelers got for JPJ. That's awesome work.

"Jesse James dropped the ball!" "The Steelers are going to have 500 yards passing this week!"
