[Steelmann]

Agree Steelman the stars sure aligned this weekend ...you forgot BAMA .....rolling again

I turn 60 today ...... so a Natty, World Series and Superbowl victory in this momentus year would be awesome .......lol

My brother-in-law John and I are born on the same day ( he's a huge Montreal Canadiens fan)

My brother Gerry sent us both a photo stating that he picked up a couple of party hats for us to celebrate ....
one was a Steelers hat and the other a HABS hat with a caption reading.............. that the teams both have the same odds of winning the Stanley Cup ...... jab (a la Mark Sanchez)

Gerry is a Pens fan

Happy Birthday Paul!! I turn 65 shortly…….made it to the big pension,can ride the BC Ferries free……get my senior discount at shoppers drug mart! But I will still work a little bit. Let’s hope there’s something left for you in 5 years!

You seriously do not think the Steelers could beat the Colts?

The Bills and the Chiefs are the only teams in the AFC I personally would have little expectations for the Steelers against.

The Patriots might end being really good this season. They just beat the Bills in Buffalo, and the Steelers needed five turnovers to barely beat them.

They definitely did not have to wait long in QB purgatory post-Brady, as Drake Maye is going to be a great one, it seems.

The team around him might not be quite ready yet, but Vrabel and McDaniels is an interesting coaching combination that might be able to cover some deficiencies in personnel.

Mac Jones looked like the real deal for a year and a half.. made all the same accolades as a rookie as Drake did... fell off the planet by year 4

You need to grade these guys after year 5 or so

People had a HOF jacket fitted for Marcus Mariotta after two years...
two seasons ago people thought stroud and purdy were the next big names at QB...

Have you seen the colts this year? They have the best point differential in the league. They have only scored 11 points less than Detroit and given up 20+ less points. They are playing well. They are in the top 10 in passing, rushing, points for, and points against. Of course it is early on and I dont fully trust Daniel Jones, but right now they are rolling. Of course the Steelers could beat them, but they have high skill guys at WR, TE, RB, and Jones is a running threat. That is not a good combo for the Steeler defense. I dont know why everyone still rates KC so high. Their defense is not as good as last year, they dont have a running game, and Kelce looks like a shell of himself. Their best receiver is 53rd in yards (Brown). They will be getting rice back soon and worthy is back now. They could get better, but as of right now they are not very good.

Some here even had Pickett’s tailor appointment made……………. A little early

I am not sure that man is sweating it. He is getting paid, cheated his way to earlier success and has a young woman to wake up to.


Now eventually that young chickadee will bring stress but for now he is probably high on the hog.

She’s gonna take his fortune.
It’s gonna be a mystery documentary on espn 20 some years from now

I don't know if the Steelers could beat the Colts but they are playing the type of game that could be a problem in playoffs. Steelers are playing exactly as they have. How has that gone?

 

[MTC]

We focus on the Steelers so we fret about our players and coaching deficiencies and forget that pretty much every team has issues.
In 2005 (gawd, has it been 20 years? I'm old AF) we weren't the best team but we remained the healthiest at the end of the season.

Agreed. Any given sunday.
I’ve noticed that as I’ve taken an interest in the nfl again.

Currently we are 3-1, but could just as easily be 1-3…………. That’s how we play.

Skin of our teeth wins, but wins no the less.

We have two wash and repeat wins next on the schedule, but Coolie will have near two heart attacks in that process.

We can’t win big, can’t put a team away, always to the wire.

Tomlin's "never a losing season" stat is backed to being propped up with Baltimore's performance so far...as though having a bad season every now and then is the end of the world.

The Chiefs lost to LAC, Philly, and Jax by a combined 12 pts, they’re one game out of first and are starting to get healthy on offense. I wouldn’t dream of counting them out.

The Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens will be in it because of Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson.

The Chiefs are just apathetic in the regular season now... that happens when you have been in the AFC CG or Super bowl every year starting in 2018...

We saw it last year too... they just pulled out more games at the end..
