Re: Bengals at Steelers Game Comments & Bedwetting

Per Kalshi, Steelers now 100-1 to win SB. Same as every other crap team in the league.

AFC championship costs 4¢ (25-1).... still not cheap enough.

Playoff odds a steep 39¢. That will drop like a rock with a loss today.

Fred Smith obituary

Fred Smith is dead -- just like his son Art's offensive schemes. Had 10 kids, so Art is going to have settle for a smaller share of the $5 billion estate. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/obituaries/fred-smith-billionaire-founder-of-fedex-is-dead-at-80.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_...

Re: Steelers needing help...history and analysis

Swiss you meant Steelers needed Chiefs to WIN in 2013 as final game in trifecta to make playoffs. That was yet another year where Steelers shit their own bed by starting 0-4, including bad loss in London to Vikes (also 0-3 going into that game, 5-10-1 on year), Raiders (4-12, game started with Tyrel...

Re: Steelers vs. Eagles Wk 5 Game Recap: O, Canada

Swiss see my post on the 68 season and the same topic -- the Steelers went 2-11-1 that year and beat the Eagles to supposedly cost them OJ. I wondered if they had lost vs Philly and tied Buffalo for worst record, who gets #1 pick? And if it's Steelers, do they go for OJ, or still take (as I think al...

68 draft - alternate history

Claypool's 4 TDs matched Roy Jefferson's 4 TD game in 1968 and made me look that up. The Steelers of course were terrible that year, went 2-11-1. Bill Austin's last year as HC, and last pre-merger season in the old Century division. That 2-11-1 was only good for 4th pick in the draft. Falcons (who J...

Re: Wk 17 Steelers/2019 recap: All's Well That Ends

Agree that complacency is the biggest danger this offseason. "We do what we do" is a deadly cliche that they embrace, if you will.

Re: If I were Ben I wouldn't come back

Keep Dupree and get a receiver & RB in the draft, plus get Ben back... instant SB contender. If the franchise is smart, and I have my doubts, they should go all in on the next two years. Restructure deals, kick cap hits out into 2022. Free up room to get as much talent as you can for the next two y...

Maybe try Hodges in 2H since he can run an uptempo no huddle better than MR.

Need to get DJ, Washington, and Samuels in some crossing routes, pick-type plays... if they ever practice those.

Re: Steelers at Browns Game Comments & Chat

Hard to run an offense with 3rd/4th/5th string in most of the skill positions now, and MR taking snaps.

Anyone have bright ideas for a 2nd half offensive game plan in that circumstance? Not sure any team would.

Re: Steelers at the Halfway Pole

Yeah agree that the playoffs are now a real possibility. Helps to get Cle 2x and Cincy in a row, which can cushion a loss to Rams. But Cle now has beating the Steelers as their prime objective this year. They have enough talent on defense to cause MR fits and stone the RRP game plan. So I won't be a...

Agree that Steelers still cling to a shred of playoff chances... Baltimore as noted may struggle to get 9 wins. The Lamar Jackson Experience is showing its true colors the past couple weeks. As long as teams put a spy on him and stack the box, he's going to lock onto his primary and throw picks. The...

Re: Steelers Score Game vs. New Orleans

Like the Pats game, think this one turns into a low score affair. Saints not lighting up scoreboard lately, and Steelers are going to play ball control/ease into it/game management (ugh).

If no Ben turnovers and we actually pick off Brees, then maybe it's an easier win.

Chickillo apparently has ankle injury, may be out for Denver game. Do they finally activate Ola? Has he even been practicing? Looked great in preseason, but they must not think he's ready.
