With Shades still in charge?
Just checking.

Yes.
No harm in checking.

F Russell Wilson. When have you ever heard of a QB sitting because of a “calf strain”? Wouldn’t you think he would do anything to be out there on the field for game 1 of his new team? He is not a Steeler.

And if so I’ll take 3 plates dished up please
Piled high with a side of bacon to wash it down

Have you ever had a tissue injury??? Do you remember the QBs we trotted out there until Mason resurrected the team???

This is the FIRST GAME of SEVENTEEN. Russell has the most experience and THANK GOD we have a uber-talented backup in Fields. As long as Justin can minimize the ball security issues - we'll be fine until Russ is fully healed. Well, that's my optimistic view...

 

[MTC]

Justin Fields era starts tomorrow?

 

[MTC]

Will Ciara be in attendance wearing the black & gold?

 

[Fiji Mariner]

they shot Fields in Georgia!!!

jk

he just got his a$$ kicked in GA, by a 5'10 whipper snapper named Stetson

Uh, what if he played and it became more than just a strain? QB do occasionally have to run.

Methinks @johnsteeler made an errant comment and will be back shortly to retract it...

 

[xjx]

Ball security you say? Steelers typically don't recover from 2 turnovers. Can Fields prevent turnovers? I have little faith. But he runs good.

Tape it up and run him out there.......Denver isn't paying him all that money for him to sit on our bench!!!!!

 

[bermudasteel]

Winner!!!

 

[Fiji Mariner]

Two parter:
1) Since Denver is paying him this year do they get to decide if he’s allowed to play against them next week?
2) If he were to play next week does he win the game for the team paying him or for the team whose uniform he’s wearing?

 

[NormalJake]

Funny stuff on Wilson vs Broncos. Speaking on that, don't know if I want to see him with his first game action of year against his former team he badly wants to beat. May play see some different decisions, being to aggressive, rather than just playing good football.

 

[Drink IRON City]

We will be ok either way. Russ has his strengths as has Fields.

Fields has had more time with the starters to date than Wilson has.

I’m more concerned about our OL. With Fantanu back, how long will Moore be LT ?
