Game Thread: Week 8 --- @Philadelphia

[Superbelt]

This is gonna hurt.

Watt still on the shelf. Maybe he'll be our Christmas Elf. Austin, mercifully was put down and won't have to be as frustrated and dead inside as Pickens and the other WR's.

But the Eagles went and got stronger, by trading for All-Pro pass rusher Robert Quinn. So that's nice.

Tomlin still sees no need for changes despite this offense being 31st in offensive PPG. Maybe he does just want that 1st pick.

Most of the country will be able to tune (in red) in to see the Steelers be turned out Sunday morning.

Well at least 3 people think the Stillers have it in 'em to score more than 20pts on that D...

Talk about BOLD

Someone drug test Rank, Patra and Sessler.

Unless they think Minkah is going wild.

I think the highest they have scored is 23 pts this year? And that was with less film put out, and being a relatively unknown offense. They've scored 20 at least twice (fortunately)

Ain't no way bro. They would definitely need some favorable turnovers.

 

[Superbelt]

It's clear some people don't even bother to think about the matchup.

They made the easy and obvious choice of ticking the Eagles as the winner. Then backfilled a number because they had to.

 

[Superbelt]

As good as the Eagles are, having NO's 1st round pick means they likely pick in the top 5 in the draft, too.

Great now Boswell might miss the game.

What will they do if they are down 28-0 and need to attempt a FG?

 

[Superbelt]

Deactivate Harvin too. Score or bust.

Nick Sciba is the kicker this week.

 

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

Was that Claypool playing safety? Looked like his catching style...

 

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

TD Steelers!

 

[thedddd]

Well it seems Canada is running the defense today also.

 

[Superbelt]

Welp, that sucked.

 

[All-Star Benchwarmer]

Welp, that sucked.

It did, but I saw some growth, especially on the offense. Claypool was actually fighting for more yardage, as were other ball handlers. O-line needs to step up on pass defense. I believe we go into a bye week. Hopefully, it's used to make some adjustments. All the teams we play for the rest of the year can be beaten.

 

[thedddd]

With only one 300 yard passing game, one 100 yard receiving game and zero hundred yard rushing games. I think it is time to dump Canada during the bye week.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

How did Najee not get benched for this?

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Was this the identity Tomlin was talking about??? Or maybe it was Canada’s dam breaking to release the flood??

They’ll be serving us 2 weeks worth of bullshit pressers about the offense cleaning things up on the same shit-covered platter…

This was the first time I didn’t watch the postgame pressers. No point. Done with Tomlin Tuesdays too.

I just feel bad for Pickett. He didn’t play well but what did we expect? Tomlin & Co opted to throw this kid in during the absolute worst part of their schedule. I’m just glad to see that he still has a fighter’s spirit. Especially when it seems like everyone around him has already mailed it in.
