Washington. 3 targets, 2 catches for 34 yards and that great TD where he refused to be tackled, kept the play alive, and willed himself into the end zone. The one catch he didn't make was a great play by the Safety, they get paid to make plays too. I think the guy continually gets better each and e...

The Steelers are usually good at planning things so that only so many guys' contracts are up in a given year so they can take steps to resign them. How did we get into this mess of having so many guys up at once? One "problem" was having a good draft. Conner, JuJu, Sutton, Dobbs all come up at the ...

Have the game on in the background and not watching attentively, but the browns are looking decent.

Gawd the bengals defense sucks. What, four of five browns possession ends in a score?

Always a good time to bring up Mark Madden's greatest column ever:

- Ike Taylor is the worst draft pick in Steelers history
- Alonzo Jackson fits like a hand in a glove
- Steelers gave up too much to get Polamalu

These takes aged like milk in a sauna.

Does that make it cheese?

Chickillo’s “intel” to Drew Lock:

“A whole bunch of guys better, faster, and stronger than me are going to come after your ass, so get ready.”

Y'all ready to punch Zoom in the face or burn masks, yet? Gonna be a long 15 weeks... Both my grandmother and grandfather on my mother's side were school teachers. Imagine the country house with a room for all the village kids, of all ages. The fact that people are paid millions of dollars to chase...

Did he actually discuss this with Tomlin or is a Tomlin covering AV’s ass? Who knows. Tomlin sounded genuine, and went into a good bit of detail that would lead me to believe they did have a conversation. Not a good move to cover-up the name, though. And not good to break from the team like that. I...

Get to watch the Giants and Bears. Truly a great game for fans in Delaware to care about...

Me too. High Suckage factor.

Thanks for taking the reigns, raptor.

Lev Bell placed on IR with a hammy. Coach says he'll be back in a few weeks. Last year was a bust, and now he's out in the first half of the first game. Niiiiiice. Anybody still want that fucker back? I'm not so enthusiastic about Conner. Like I said in another thread, conner was methadone to bells ...

It’s been one game guys... :lol: You gotta cut us some slack. We actually have a real, bonafide, HOF SB winning QB. And he played like one (well, for a half at least), with a top five defense. Last year was a cluster fuck on O. If they went 8-8 last year, the sky's the limit this year - as long as ...

I laugh at "disastrous for Conner" from a guy who apparently has never seen Dotson play. If the line is AV-Feiler-Pouncey-Dotson-Ckuks, Steelers will be absolutely fine.

Depth? What happens if Okafor gets injured? Feiler?

James Conner was methadone to Lev Bell's heroin for the first year and a half. Now that the steelers got the monkey off their back, they can move on to Snell/Samuels/McFarland territory. I guessing that's not gonna happen the second conner is cleared to play.

Yeah. I don't have one lick of worry about BR. He looked sharp as hell last night. Some of the earlier throws were forgivable under the circumstances - first game back, jitters, etc. I think I heard it reported that the only other time he felt the same butterflies in the stomach was when he was in c...

The damage, destruction, burning, violence, assault, murder, etc. that the 8% is causing far outweighs the other 92% What percent of that 92% is tolerant and supports the 8 percenters is the question that I would be concerned about.

Maybe he shouldn't call the family? Maybe he read the incident and believes the decedent isn't a victim, either of racism or police brutality? Maybe he should just go on to Denver? Maybe the team shouldn't require people to support a particular decedent whose death is far from clear-cut? Maybe we s...

...and I think JuJu will take a friendly deal to keep the band together as long as possible. Steelers reward loyalty. He might not get his big payday when his contract is up, but the steelers will find a way/ try to find a way to keep him as well. I hope you're right, but guys leaving money on the ...

The team made a decision, he made a different one. Obviously, it wasn't officially cleared, or he wouldn't have to have put up the (bad) optics of covering up the chosen individual with athletic tape and writing the new name with a sharpie. Call that independent thought or going rogue, it doesn't r...

I was about to post, how bout someone have David Dorn's name on the back of their helmet.................. Good way to honor a fallen retired police office, who was ruthlessly killed during the mostly violent riots. Are there nonviolent riots? I think you meant to say mostly violent demonstrations ...

I just hope people don't misconstrue (media - for profit or branding) players placing names of law enforcement or military casualties on their helmet as opposing change or ending racism and police brutality. I believe two things can mutually coexsist. But we'll never really know what those players t...

I don't know how Villy is viewed on the team. I give him a pass as the camaraderie of military service in an active war zone isn't something you easily forget, and paying tribute to a fellow fallen soldier is deeply engrained in his psyche. Villy is all about your the guy watching your back in warti...

I have no worries on the offense other than the front line. BR seems to be back to his old self, and his throws were crisp and on target, and had the light touch when necessary. Some of those throws were perfectly placed. I recall the Ebron catch - a bit high and away from the defender where only Eb...

I dunno. I'm not as optimistic as most here. Yes. The defense was all over the place, applying pressure etc. Lots of defenders in the backfield and stifling barkley was a feat. However, the Watt and Heyward int's were a result of a 2nd year QB. The watt int was a dumbfuck throw, and heyward was the ...

Honestly, as great as TJ is.....Dupree is every bit as good.

Going to have to re-sign him. That will probably mean bye-bye to JuJu, but there's no comparing the impact and replace-ability.

did you see juju during BR’s interview? Juju likes BR and the Steelers

At this point, I'd throw in some mcfarland. A bruiser and a speedster. Add some watt. Conner just didn't look good at the beginning of the game, but the o line wasn't doing him any favors from what I could tell. The o line got smoother in the second half, I think.
