So yeah Watson is out… he was doing ok, but certainly not great this season. His replacement is a relatively unknown commodity as a rookie whose only start was last minute… and we know how that goes…

They also have a mess of injuries on the line… both initial Starting tackles have already been lost to IR, current RT D.Jones may miss the game.
They may be getting one guard back from IR, but likely losing another for this game

The Steelers have two of their top 3 Ilbs gone for the season and likely won’t have two of their top 3 safeties either…

So what will be the bigger loss.. tge Steelers apparent hole in the middle of their defense of the Browns with a shaky Oline and a rookie QB
 
With the Steelers depth at ILB we have been able to absorb our injuries better. I would have kept Tanner Muse over Gunner for the 53 man and that coach T decision and love for Gunner has bit the team in the butt a little. But Mykal Walker was an excellent signing by Khan. . I think he can be a good cover ILB and Roberts and Robinson can be run stuffers for us. Tariq Carpenter was called up last week but I don't think I saw him play. We likely play with a big safety like Neal in the box more.
 
Anytime your playing your 3rd string QB....advantage to opposing team for sure.

I fully expect a win Sunday.
I don't think they will play down as they know this is a critical matchup and that Cleveland has a sound defense.

I had muse making the club and was very surprised they opted to cut him
 
Here's my bold prediction for the week. Dorian Thompson-Robinson throws for 150 with 1/1 but adds another 80 on the ground and another touchdown.
 
I suspect he knows how to hand off.
They definitely are going to test the Steelers spotty run D. Heyward should help stabilize it. Hopefully Benton picks up where he left off last game ..
 
Tgey will probably take an early shot downfield expecting us to be playing tge run, but afterwards I would expect a run heavy game
Ford, Hunt and DTR probably combine for 200+. The only good news is we will be playing heavily with Robinson and Roberts our run stuffing ILBs. Hopefully, Benton, Leal and Heyward can keep them clean to shoot gaps and make plays in the backfield. I actually wish Watson was playing.

Way to go out on a limb there Fordy. Here’s my not so bold prediction. Win,lose or draw,you will come on during and after the game telling us about how much better Robinson is than Kenny. And about how you told us so.

So in the spirit of putting your money where your mouth is.....a little friendly wager. I wager he doesn’t get 80 on the ground. Hmmmmm......stakes......no posting for 2 months? The board could use a little break of your nonstop horse-****. Hey in all fairness.....mine too.

Cam will be limited on his snap count due to swelling in the groin / hammy areas.

He will make a difference when he is in play.


Salute the nation

I read that Tariq Carpenter was more a ST promotion than anything.

Considering his ONE start he had 123 with 0/3 and 24 yards rushing with 0 tds I would say that prediction is decently bold. 230 total yards with 2 total touchdowns and no turnovers for a rookie 5th round pick is a pretty good game imo.

And if you want my bold prediction of Kenny Pickett I would say he throws for 200 and goes 1/1 and runs for 10 yards.

So about this wager. I will say DTR has more yards passing and rushing (total yards) than Kenny Pickett. Loser leaves here for life.

That wasn't his bet parameter.


Just like cooch trying to adjust the bet.

Better question. If you owe your q. 63 million in each of next three years and he is out for season......and you are even asking this question?
 
Yeah but....it is a pretty ballsy one!
He knows nobody would take the bet that is the only reason he threw it out.

Besides I told posters to stop threatening me with a good time.
 
We are easier to game plan against because we do the same thing every game.

We Sure Do..........

You are such a p u s s e y. Of course you have to change the bet in your favor. And then try and play the big man.

Cleveland has the #1 D in run.....#7 D in Pass. Pretty good Chances are they will shut Kenny down.

Pittsburgh gives up yards left and right. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Big revelation.

Steelers are Ranked 27th giving up passing yds. Ranked 29th gained passing yards. Have been outgained in every game. Yes. You are sure going out on a limb here.

Somehow as per usual you have made this into a vs Kenny thing as you do with most posts.

I disagreed that he would get 80 yards of rushing against our Defense. As you can clearly see. Which was my bet.
If you want to take that bet for a lifetime ban. No problem. You’re the one who stated he’d get 80.
Or did you still want to swing the pendulum 90% in your favor. Making up **** I never even said. Living in your own little fantasy world.

You cherry picked the rushing prediction to bet on you 🐈 . Just like you cherry pick Pickett's stats. Pickett has a QBR better than Mahomes in the 4th quarter on 3rd and short when it's a new moon and the temperature is between 74-78 Fahrenheit.

Well, guys like Gardner Minshew, Geno Smith and Jackson put up 305, 254 and 264 total yards against them the last three weeks. And I am backing a 5th round ROOKIE BACKUP, not a second season 1st round pick.

I am betting your STRAIGHT UP that the Clowns BACKUP 5th ROUND ROOKIE QB will have more total yards than your lord and savior Kenny Pickett will. That is a bet any Pickett Backer should jump on if they TRULY believe he is the guy. If you can't take that bet it is because you KNOW he isn't going be the guy and you getting your panties in a bunch because I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I don't live in the rose colored glass world that all things are good in Pittsburgh and Kenny is something he isn't. He is a struggling QB and probably one of the worst QB's in the NFL and probably the third worst QB on our freaking team!

What do you mean “ I cherry picked”. You said it. Not me.
