I think the FG and TD scenario to tie scenario depends on how much time is left and the situation. If I'm very close and have been struggling all day, I'd rather go for the TD first if it's a makable first down while time is on my side. A two minute drill needing a FG is a lot less stressful than a...

I think the more damning thing about this game is that Mike Tomlin built this defense to stop the Bungles. He told the team himself leading up to this game. Why bring in two old and expensive CB's? For the Bungles. His entire off-season plan failed miserably tonight. Old man Rodgers has a bit more ...

he will now ... blame it on turnovers and say I told you so --this is what happens when you let the O dictate the plan and protect NHALS and his 200m genius lead D of talent and schematics by doing what he always does attrition possession ball you can already hear him and its all on tape from the p...

Here's what they are going to do instead. Exactly what they did last year. They are going to attempt to possess the ball by run run run running. Just like last year, it won't work this time because Cincy will be expecting it and gang up on the run to stop it. Well the ironic thing is that they WERE...

The defense sucks, yes. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Wilson and Washington. Both made some big plays in the passing game, kudos to them. Hell, we were in hurry up last night with 2 WRs & 2 TE. I have never in my entire life seem that in the NFL of the last 40 years. Gronk and Hernandez wi...

i did say "rooneys" but ... still no answer why won't Art and current ownership challenge tomlin in any way ? Because Art sees nothing wrong with the product. They make the playoffs and make a ton of money. Why aspire to be great when "good enough" gets you a shit ton of money? Just coast...the fra...

The issue with Watt is the decision to make him basically the highest paid defensive player in history. 41 million a year, 2.4 million a game is way too much for any player. Watt has 112 sacks in 8.5 seasons which is HOF numbers. In the NFL, they pay players for what they did in the past, when they...

The billion dollar defense, once again can't get a stop when it matters

And yes, Ceedee Lamb is hurt but that doesn't negate that Pickens is on pace for an All-Pro season. That's a funny caveat that we see often. "He's only doing that playing opposite Ceedee Lamb"....."He's only doing that because Ceedee Lamb is hurt and not taking targets from him". :lol: I'm not losi...

Good chance Rogers comes back if the Steelers finish fairly strong (make the playoffs)

Zero chance the Steelers will draft a QB in the first if that happens

Sadly, you're correct. This team will continue to kick the QB can down the road like the morons they are

Depth is a strength of the team on defense right now. 82 plays is a lot of plays, but Pittsburgh has a lot of players who are capable of performing at a high level. Nick Herbig's emergence as a top pass rushing threat is helping everyone on the front 7, especially the other OLBs. Less wear and tear...

Tomlin's press conference was actually fairly entertaining this week. Beyond his Flacco comments, he had some great non-cliche lines. "I've gotten my ass kicked in a lot of ways over the last 19 years" (In relation to his Thursday night struggles). When exiting the podium, he said "man you guys wer...

I've been on the Jakobi Meyers train for 2+ seasons.
That's who I want.

But I think it's a waste of draft capital considering how often Wr2 gets targeted. Which we'll need in order to move up to get a QB this draft.

No, they are terrible in road TNF games. I expect no less from this one. 24 -17 Bungles. AFC North Teams Record in Thursday Games: CLE. 9-3 BAL. 10-4 CIN 6-6 (0-2 vs BAL, 2-0 vs PIT) PIT 4-10 (tied for worst in the NFL with the NYJ) https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/bengals-afc-north-foes-at-surprisin...

I get the complaints, but it's a distinct budget, so it's not money that's completely fungible for the university. Why did he get the contract? Apparently he ingratiated himself with Sandy Barbour, the previous athletic director, and also made a veiled threat to leave for, I believe, either USC or ...

I was pretty damn happy with Broderick vs the Vikings and they have some pass rushers. Sure, none of them are Myles Garrett level but I think Jones is going to fight his ass off in this game and we'll let the chips fall where they may. He'll also have plenty of help because the Steelers have had su...

I’m hoping we get to see what Howard has ASAP. Great game to take out Rogers and get that ball rolling. Hell, maybe Garrett can take out both Rogers and Bibberty in the same game. One can dream. Is Howard off injured list now? I don't follow that stuff and so genuinely don't know. He's eligible to ...

I think people are sleeping on both the Colts and the Jags. I think they are both better than being given credit for right now. Colts yes Jags NO Despite stumbling his way to a victory over Pat Mahomes on Monday, Trevor is still not a quality NFL quarterback Agreed. Jags are using as much smoke as ...

And they kicked it right at Roman Wilson, who looks to have as reliable hands as I can remember any Steelers receiver having since Antionio Brown. The guy is stickum! Is this a joke? It has to be given the guy has hardly touched the ball. It's a Tomlin defender. Never criticizes him so it's likely ...

How are the Pats better, we just beat them. Did you watch the game? Pats outplayed the Steelers by a fair margin. I mean, yes the Steelers won but Boise State beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl once, too. I answered the question like: if they played next week and had everybody healthy, who would be f...

How are the Pats better, we just beat them. Did you watch the game? Pats outplayed the Steelers by a fair margin. the steelers were leading for ~39 minutes and never trailed. If someone wants to say the game didn’t mean anything because of all the turnovers, fine. But you certainly can’t use anythi...

As to the OP... I don't know the exact order of the teams ahead of PIT, but I would say:

BUF
KC
BAL when LJ8 returns
LAC
DEN
NE

are better teams rn

How are the Pats better, we just beat them.

Did you watch the game?

Pats outplayed the Steelers by a fair margin.

I am today placing a 50.00 bet on them to win division. They are still + odds to win division. On Sunday night Oct 19th AFC North standings will be Steelers 5-1 Browns 2-5 Bengals 2-5 Ravens 1-5 You choke that away then I don't know what to say. Do you care to be reminded of the 11-0 start a few ye...

It took a drive for the ages for Tomlin to get his Barry Switzer ring. Our vaunted defense couldn't hold the lead. Needed not one, but two of the greatest plays in SB history. And then, two years later, decides to "ease in" and "probe" with the healthier and experienced roster....gets boat raced, w...

Good points^^^^^ I’d be comfortable trading both mentioned above. Muuuuth and Highsmih. I’d actually trade Muuuuth 1st. Keep Highsmith for depth over Muth Incase of injuries. Or get two players and trade em both. I’d still be good. Wr2 and either a tackle or DB They aren't trading Highsmith in seas...

Seems that Aaron Rodgers lost communications on the last drive. https://steelersdepot.com/2025/09/his-helmet-went-blank-connor-heyward-says-aaron-rodgers-had-technical-difficulties-on-steelers-final-drive/ Sometimes it's not Tomlin's fault when things go wrong. Found 1 Tomlin jock sniffer left on t...

Roman Wilson was a terrible draft pick. Time to move on. Trade Highsmith for a 2/3 WR; ask Rodgers who he wants. Long season, and being 3 deep with quality EDGE is one of the few depth pluses we have. Add into that the fact that Watt's not exactly looking 100% already and I think I err on the side ...

Was anyone else tho at least a little surprised that vikes chose the wayyy low percentage onsides when they still had two play stoppages post kickoff. They kickoff, Steelers run back to say 25, vikes hold them, they prob get ball back in better field position with a minute left. I agree with the on...

Almost as predictable as the annual Swiss thread imploring the haters to eat crow is the annual doomsayers thread predicting NHALS to end in spectacular fashion that we had last week.
