Patriots* @ Steelers

[hawaiiansteel]

I would consider this pretty much a must win.

if we don't, we definitely don't deserve to go to the playoffs.

[Northern_Blitz]

I think there will be at least one 9 win team that gets in from the AFC, but I hope we can get to at least 10.

So it's not a must win, but a pretty important game.

I wish we had until Sunday to work out what's going to happen at QB and to figure out all the injuries from the weekend.

But, you have the play the games on the schedule.

[flippy]

The Pats have given up 8 points per game the last 3 weeks and have lost every one of those games.

Our D will probably need to be perfect to win. Do you trust them to be perfect for 60 min? Plus they will probably need to score.

This game is probably gonna be hard to watch. It?s 2 of the most inept teams in the NFL on a short week.

Both sides being led by JV coaching.

[Djfan]

Steelers 143
Cheats 3

Frenchy runs for 242 yards
Duck throws seven tds
Troy picks off 3 passes

[feltdizz]

Steelers 9
Pats 6

[WindyCitySteel]

Paging Fordfixer...this is your stage.

[Chucktownsteeler]

The only positive I see is a home game on prime time TV.

Win and get a mini bye to get some guys healthy.

[Ghost]

Pats: 2-10 with 5 losses in a row. They average 12.3 pts per game. Just need to hit the Steelers avg of 16 pts per game. And it is a home game so we will take care of business... wait...what...

[Buzz]

hate to say it, I think it gets worse before it gets better

Cheaters 10
Stillers 6

[Eich]

I think we'll win another low scoring game. 13-10 Steelers.

But at this point, would ANYONE be shocked if we lost? I wouldn't even be shocked if we lost 24-10 again.

[T.Ferguson]

Not technically a must win but if Steelers lose this one I think the wheels are off and the season is effectively over, not like Steelers would do any damage in playoffs regardless, let's be honest here.

I'm going 10-6 either way. There will be one fluky TD. I could also see the Pats essentially laying an egg and Steelers doing the usual rebound and adding another TD 17-6. Either way it should be a great game lol. Maybe this karma for NFL doing Thursday night games on Prime.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

We think the Steelers can't score - 192 points this year.

The Pats have scored 148. They have scored almost 25% fewer points than this hopeless offense.

[papillon]

I think the Steelers win this one and the Bengal game to keep the "no losing season" streak alive. :p:tt2

Steelers are currently favored by 6 over the Cheatriots* with an over/under total of only 30.5. :D

30.5 seems high to me.

30.5 seems high to me.

They are factoring in Mitchburgh is back. He is good for 3 ints. a game.

Fair point...

["BuzzNuter"]

I'm sure the Pats have a playbook on Mitch. Bellichek will pull out all the stops.

It is almost impossible for a road team to win in a Thursday night game this time of the year. Hopefully Mason will play the 2nd half because Mitch is no good and has become a lard a** that can't bend over.

Pats 16
Steelers 6

[Steel Maniac]

I think we'll win another low scoring game. 13-10 Steelers.

But at this point, would ANYONE be shocked if we lost? I wouldn't even be shocked if we lost 24-10 again.

With Mitch , nothing is guaranteed. Zappe could easily out play him.

Hate to say it but I think the low for the Steelers hasn't been reached yet. Hold on tight!!

[Terrapin]

I predict a 3-3 tie

There really isn't a team we should be surprised to lose to.

If a team can score 10 - 20 points in any given game, they can beat us. Particularly if they get to the high side of that range.

I don't know about anyone else, but when AZ went up 10-3, I was pretty worried we wouldn't be able to come back from that. And 17-3 was "DTD or bust" type territory.

Then they got to 24. We almost always need two games to get 24 points.

[Northern_Blitz]

We may end up with a negative score. Is that possible?

While the scoreboard can never read negative, the offense can have net negative points if they give up more score to the opposing D (DTDs + safeties) than they score.

Why does that stat instantly make me concerned that we'll break that trend for NE? Ugh

[Chucktownsteeler]

It was a joke.

ESPN was talking about the over/under being 30 and that it will also probably be about the number of people that tune in to watch the game. :D

Just wait until Mason Rudolph comes in for the 4th Q and leads the mighty Steelers to victory 3-0. I'm just going to wait for the replay on NFL Network's game of the week.

I expect the QB play will be so bad that mid way through the game we'll be wishing that we had Tyler Boyd to come in and QB.

When they got to 24 and we were slowly calling running plays, I could hear Chuks telling the coaches we should just take a knee.

Najee Harris questionable for Thursday vs. Patriots

[WindyCitySteel]

Thursday games are weird, barely any practice, wouldn't be surprised if this is higher scoring than people are thinking -- 23-20, who wins is anyone's guess. I don't think these teams are all that far apart, NE's just played more good teams.

[feltdizz]

I hate those color rush unis.

those unis are nice.

only thing they need to change is that big ass yellow stripe on the pants.

Which also probably means that we're ****ed.

If Pickett were playing tonight, the Steelers might have had a slight advantage at QB. Noted that the betting line barely moved after the news of Pickett's injury.

I think the Pats are starting Zappe too.

So neither team will be playing their day 1 starter. And it probably doesn't make much difference either way.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I am getting a bad feeling on this game tonight.

[T.Ferguson]

I am getting a bad feeling on this game tonight.

I've got a pretty good feeling it's going to be a bad game. Not a great year for the NFL that is for sure.

[T.Ferguson]

I was checking the Pats schedule and I was a little surprised to see most of their games have been close one score losses. Only two blowouts so it'll likely be a close one tonight.

[Northern_Blitz]

I am getting a bad feeling on this game tonight.

Until I feel comfortable that we can score 20 points a game, I'll feel bad going into every game.

[Flasteel]

I don't have much of a vibe on this game at all. I think the Pats will be tough to run against and it will be a close low-scoring game. But with the inside backer situation on defense and Trubisky pulling the trigger on offense, I have no clue how either unit will perform.

I'm hoping Roberts is healthy enough to be an effective starter tonight and I like the backup plan for Minkah to wear the green dot in the event he's not. If Trubisky can take care of the ball and hit a couple of deep(er) shots - as he apparently aims to do - then it's going to open up that running game. I hope we show run on the first play, then go play-action over the top. Kind of like the first play against Cincy a couple of weeks ago.

Steelers - 13
Pats - 9

Take the under! :Boobs

[Moonie]

Be cool to see JuJu return. Wish we had kept him around.

We think the Steelers can't score - 192 points this year.

The Pats have scored 148. They have scored almost 25% fewer points than this hopeless offense.

Pats* will play loose like cardinals last week and will have an easier time on offense. And that?s trouble with a very good pats* defense.

[Moonie]

Missing JuJu? Look at that guy.

[skyhawk]

A loose NE offense.

[Terrapin]

This team is special

[Steelwolf]

This team is special

Are you shocked ? Lol

[Terrapin]

One of the worst offenses in NFL history. No sweat. March right down the field on our awesome D. lol. Way to go Tomlin

[skyhawk]

A loose NE offense. Hot knife thru butter as I predicted.

[Starlifter]

I thought our defense was supposed to be the strong point.

But clearly they are going to exploit our linebackers and secondary.

[Ghost]

Defense absolutely embarrassed. Sickening.

[papillon]

This is un-effing-believable, now all we need is. 3 and out

Pappy

[SteelBucks]

This team needs ILBs badly.

[Terrapin]

Hey Rooney, wake your lazy ass up. When exactly is enough enough of this garbage?

[Northern_Blitz]

Ahhh this team.

They never make it easy.

This is certainly the worry. If the D stops getting turnovers, we're "doomed".

[papillon]

Ok, Mitch, get it done, match their drive, let's go!

Pappy

[Starlifter]

If Mitch throws a pick I’m gonna hurl.

[Starlifter]

Well I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Yikes.

[Terrapin]

lmao. Mitch

[Moonie]

Oh man, your carpet got lucky there.

Maybe give TJ a longer face mask for the rest of the game?

[Northern_Blitz]

Not a pick!

The Steelers just aren't good

Not even the announcers can get excited about this game.

How long of a leash does Trubisky get tonight?

Pappy

[Starlifter]

How long of a leash does Trubisky get tonight?

Dunno. But they have to show something. If they need 24 points to win the game it sure doesn’t feel like they can get it.

[feltdizz]

How long of a leash does Trubisky get tonight?

halftime if he doesn’t move the football or and keeps throwing deep to no one.

[Steelwolf]

halftime if he doesn’t move the football or and keeps throwing deep to no one.

Agreed give Mason a shot!

[Starlifter]

Mitch has another chance to show he’s a starting qb. Really want to see him do it.

[papillon]

Dunno. But they have to show something. If they need 24 points to win the game it sure doesn’t feel like they can get it.

24 points that's 2 games worth of offense for the Steeler offense. :HeadBanger

Pappy

[papillon]

Look at this najee and jaylen both in the game and no blocking...ugh

Pappy

[Ghost]

NE in the backfield before the handoff. O line sucking.

[Moonie]

Pappy

He gets 2 INTs, then we bring in the other dud.

[Starlifter]

24 points that's 2 games worth of offense for the Steeler offense. :HeadBanger

Pappy

Well we finished the first quarter with 38 yards of offense.

So there’s that….

[SteelBucks]

Wow is this team boring. Crowd sounds like they’re attending a funeral.

[NorthCoast]

NE in the backfield before the handoff. O line sucking.

They telegraphed the play by pulling DJ and putting Boykin in to block

[Moonie]

Who was that even to?

[SteelBucks]

All of our QBs suck.

[feltdizz]

No matter how bad folks think Kenny is..

Mitch is worse.

[WindyCitySteel]

I think we can rest assured that Faulkner and Sully won't be OC next year.

[NorthCoast]

Team is weak and getting weaker with every game.
I don't think the Steelers win another game this year at this rate.

[Starlifter]

You just felt it right? The only positive to this debacle is Tomlin may have to make a decision before the 4th quarter.

That was flat out awful.

[SteelBucks]

No matter how bad folks think Kenny is..

Mitch is worse.

They’re all bad.

[Steelwolf]

Team is weak and getting weaker with every game.
I don't think the Steelers win another game this year at this rate.

Agreed just so frustrating so much hype this year

[feltdizz]

Mitch's audition is going well so far...

amazes me how folks think he is as good or better than Kenny.

he’s really bad

[SteelBucks]

We knew winning this way wasn’t sustainable. Case in point…

[Moonie]

This is going to end up Pats 24-9. Really awful performance. Getting messed around by Cardinals and Patriots like this.

[kindlecatsb'ng]

not good with all these injuries--now Highsmith

[Starlifter]

Truth is, the Steelers are every other bad teams redemption game.

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Highsmith--neck injury--

[SteelBucks]

The Pirates are the best pro team in Pittsburgh right now.

[WindyCitySteel]

We knew winning this way wasn’t sustainable. Case in point…

Some of did, we were called haters and "not fans".

[Terrapin]

Another blowout to another 2-10 team on our home field.

Tomlin absolutely needs fired at seasons end. This is beyond embarrassing

[NorthCoast]

Washington has blown 2 blocks tonight already.

[Starlifter]

Pull him now. That’s absurd.

[feltdizz]

We knew winning this way wasn’t sustainable. Case in point…

another one coming soon.. smh.

Pats defense is toying with us.

[kindlecatsb'ng]

does he need glasses?

[feltdizz]

bench him now, that dude is cooked!!!

[Terrapin]

BTW, the Pats are without their top RB and two top WRs....

Who's still thinking Mitch is better than KP?

[feltdizz]

almost.. smh.

when your veteran back up looks like this what good is he in the QB room for a young QB???

[papillon]

I dont think anyone believed Mitch was better than Kenny. At least, I don't recall seeing those comments.

Pappy

[Terrapin]

It's plain and simple. The team has quit. We've seen it coming for weeks (well, some of us have). Tomlin is a complete clown. His main claim to fame was being a cheerleader and he can't even do that anymore.

[papillon]

Halftime may be too late to see if qb switch will put a spark in the offense.

Pappy

[Terrapin]

I dont think anyone believed Mitch was better than Kenny. At least, I don't recall seeing those comments.

Pappy

I believe someone posted an article by Mark Madden that said basically that.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the Pats are playing their backup QB also.....

[skyhawk]

Another illegal formation.

[Northern_Blitz]

The good news here is that we'll have to go with an external candidate for OC.

[WindyCitySteel]

Another illegal formation. JFC, this team never fixes any problem.

Tomlin is getting totally exposed since Ben retired.

[Northern_Blitz]

Too bad. Had him.

[Terrapin]

Unbelievable. Al Michaels is even shocked at how dysfunctional we are

[Northern_Blitz]

Reverting to the mean on turnovers is what I think we all meant when we were saying "this isn't sustainable".

[feltdizz]

at least Mason throws downfield.. to no one

[WindyCitySteel]

Another bad punt. Tomlin allows this shyte to happen and never fixes it.

How he has a single defender left at this point is beyond me.

[feltdizz]

Another illegal formation. JFC, this team never fixes any problem.

Chuks can't line up correctly after 4 seasons....probably why he's been riding pine

[Terrapin]

The good news here is that we'll have to go with an external candidate for OC.

As long as Jesus Tomlin remains the head coach getting prime Bill Walsh as OC won't make a lick of difference

[feltdizz]

Tomlin has to show some emotion. Yell at someone, break a tablet or a headset.

Team just sleepwalking on offense

[Steelwolf]

The stadium is going to have a melt down I don't think I've ever heard our fans be so vocal on how bad this team is lol

[NorthCoast]

You mean Mitch, I think

Pappy

LOL... yea, not sure

[Moonie]

Announcers trash talking us! Jesus Christ, this is a low moment.

[Northern_Blitz]

Not sure I've seen a guy dive for the 1st after going 10 yards out of bounds before.

[Northern_Blitz]

Turns out 4th and 5th ILBs are ****.

[NorthCoast]

Game over!!!

[Northern_Blitz]

Good news is that we can go to bed now. No chance this team can break 20.

[Ghost]

This is on coaching. The players do not care. A total embarrassment. F Tomlin.

[feltdizz]

welp, at least I have Hunter Henry in fantasy. Had a feeling

[Terrapin]

Turns out 4th and 5th ILBs are ****.

But explain why our 4th and 5th LBs are covering their top WR?

[Northern_Blitz]

Game over!!!

I'm not surprised by how terrible the O has been.

But getting carved up by Zappe.

The list of ****ty QBs who are far and away better than the 3 on our team is very long.

[Starlifter]

I can’t wait to hear Rich eisen tell us how stupid we are for questioning Tomlin.

[Terrapin]

Every person in the country bet the under tonight. That's a guarantee the over would hit. Didn't think NE would hit it all by themselves though

[NorthCoast]

But explain why our 4th and 5th LBs are covering their top WR?

Based on what I am seeing they are not covering anyone

[WindyCitySteel]

But explain why our 4th and 5th LBs are covering their top WR?

It's everyone's fault but Tomlin's.

[papillon]

Well, for those that don't want to hear about non-losing seasons, this could be your fantasy come true by the e d of the year.

Pappy

[Terrapin]

Remember when old Ben was the problem? lol. Ben was holding Tomlin and the team back. This is the lowest point as a Steelers fan I can remember since the late 80s

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Think positive--if down, no place else to go but up.

[Northern_Blitz]

It's everyone's fault but Tomlin's.

No...it's Tomlin's fault too. Just not only his fault.

[Terrapin]

It's everyone's fault but Tomlin's.

NEs top two WRs are out. They literally have two guys to throw to; Juju and Henry. Yet we can't shut either one of them down? Tomlin's a defensive guru right?

Honestly haven't seen Tomlin do a single thing all game except stand there with that stupid look on his face

[Moonie]

Amazon Prime shows Pickens dogging it. Nice!

[Northern_Blitz]

It's OK because it wasn't DJ.

[Starlifter]

Herbstriet trying his best not to be too critical - but even he can’t overlook this stink.

[Northern_Blitz]

I think some were saying earlier today that it was better to miss the playoffs than get in, but get blown out...

[NorthCoast]

NEs top two WRs are out. They literally have two guys to throw to; Juju and Henry. Yet we can't shut either one of them down? Tomlin's a defensive guru right?

Honestly haven't seen Tomlin do a single thing all game except stand there with that stupid look on his face

It's easy when you're only playing with 9 guys on defense. The LBs are crap.

[Northern_Blitz]

Well...maybe they can make it interesting if we can play defense for the rest of the game.

[Terrapin]

Amazing catch by DJ! Great pass by Mitch!

[WindyCitySteel]

Time for Cam Heyward to get on with his life's work. He's more into podcasting than football anymore, free up that money for some offensive line help.

[feltdizz]

love how teams struggle all year to do something until they play us

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Nice! :tt1:tt1:tt1Good job Tomlin & Co!

[Moonie]

Steelers need some Veozah.

[feltdizz]

Now that was nice.. can we get 3 more of those?

It's easy when you're only playing with 9 guys on defense. The LBs are crap.

Ok, have Minkah shadow Henry and Porter shadow Juju. Not exactly rocket science

[NorthCoast]

Now that was nice.. can we get 3 more of those?

Do you mean without giving up any more on defense? Probably not.

[Terrapin]

Time for Cam Heyward to get on with his life's work. He's more into podcasting than football anymore, free up that money for some offensive line help.

Agree. No longer worth the salary

[Ghost]

Agree. No longer worth the salary

Cam is an all time favorite. But his time is over.

[NorthCoast]

Walker blows....bad

[Starlifter]

Crazy how we won’t blitz a rookie qb - yet with everyone back in coverage they can still get open.

[Terrapin]

Way to shut em down defense

[NorthCoast]

A pick six would be real nice right about now... do it Tomlin!

[papillon]

A pick six would be real nice right about now

I'd be happy with a stop and a punt just to see if Mitch can run the 2 minute drill and get points.

Pappy

[Ghost]

Has there been 1 sack? The D is horrible.

[Northern_Blitz]

A pick six would be real nice right about now... do it Tomlin!

I'd take it.

Let's knock Zappe out so they have to play Mack Jones.

[papillon]

Unbelievable...

Pappy

[Ghost]

Finally. Bring pressure all the time.

[Northern_Blitz]

That cast / club on Minkah is kind of hilarious.

[papillon]

Needed the sack on 3rd and 7, one play too late.

Pappy

[Northern_Blitz]

Punt block?

[Starlifter]

NE has two receivers. We have bad ILB’s. Should be blitzing all over the place and playing man on their two guys.

[SteelCrazy]

Hey, if we’re lucky Tomlin gets his .500 record extended so we got some good stuff to cheer for here fellas…

[papillon]

Hey, if we’re lucky Tomlin gets his .500 record extended so we got some good stuff to cheer for here fellas…

I dont know, the rest of the schedule are teams better than NE. :p

Pappy

[Starlifter]

Zappe on his way to 400 yards.

[WindyCitySteel]

NE has two receivers. We have bad ILB’s. Should be blitzing all over the place and playing man on their two guys.

But then we might get burned and, oh, I don't know, give up 21 points in the first half.

Safer is better.

[Starlifter]

But then we might get burned and, oh, I don't know, give up 21 points in the first half.

Safer is better.

Hahaha. They don’t live within their fears clearly.

[Northern_Blitz]

Hey, if we’re lucky Tomlin gets his .500 record extended so we got some good stuff to cheer for here fellas…

I'm hoping for a playoff berth instead of firing Tomlin.

[Northern_Blitz]

But then we might get burned and, oh, I don't know, give up 21 points in the first half.

Safer is better.

Making them drive the field is 100% the right thing to do in this game.

[Ghost]

Tomlin has lost this team. No one cares. This is a horrendous performance against one of the worst teams in the league. It is embarrassing. And the coaches own it.

[SteelCrazy]

I dont know, the rest of the schedule are teams better than NE. :p

Pappy

We’ll squeak 2 wins out of the schedule….I like Tomlin but I think he’s burnt out. This team is horribly coached. The coaching staff is terrible. You can see it with the play or our players are stupid. So many out of position and illegal formations penalties every week.

[NorthCoast]

I notice Cole is still snapping grounders to the QB. Dude is done. He's got Pounceyitis

[SteelCrazy]

Tomlin has lost this team. No one cares. This is a horrendous performance against one of the worst teams in the league. It is embarrassing. And the coaches own it.

You’re right unfortunately. Embarrassing.

[Northern_Blitz]

Tomlin has lost this team. No one cares. This is a horrendous performance against one of the worst teams in the league. It is embarrassing. And the coaches own it.

I think it's the same team it's been all year.

Just we haven't gotten turnovers in the last 6 quarters or whatever.

We all knew that "winning games this way was unsustainable". Looks like the clock maybe struck midnight.

But, since the Steelers are the Steelers...we are probably going to do something on this first drive. Keep it close. And comes down to the last drive.

[NorthCoast]

"This offense is not built to come from behind "

Thanks Matt Canada

[Mr.wizard]

I'm tired of people blaming the coaches, the players need to just play better. Bad effort, Bad angles, Bad throws, just Bad play all around.

[Northern_Blitz]

"This offense is not built to come from behind "

Thanks Matt Canada

That quote was totally taken out of context. The rest of the quote clearly said that it's also unable to get a lead or really to score at all.

[WindyCitySteel]

Redemption Week == Unleash Hell?

["BuzzNuter"]

What do we think Mitch will do coming out of the half? We can't run the ball so we will have to pass. I hate to say this but there's a 50-50 chance Mitch throws an INT.

[Moonie]

Harris is blind. If he cuts right there, he gets 5 more yards.

[WindyCitySteel]

Double reverse, lol. This is sandlot shyte.

[Northern_Blitz]

Got rid of Canada...but can't get rid of runs on 2nd and long.

[Starlifter]

Double reverse, lol. This is sandlot shyte.

Followed up with an inside handoff to set up 3rd and 11.

Brilliant.

[Moonie]

Nice play Heyward! Some effort!

[Starlifter]

Wow. Heyward saves that.

[feltdizz]

lets gooooooo!!!

[WindyCitySteel]

Every yard is fought for tooth and nail. Nobody is fooled.

[papillon]

Let's go! Get the running game going. Put a hat on a hat and move somebody and get yards. I'm showing my age. I miss running g the football with power.

Pappy

[NorthCoast]

Saemalu with a wiff

[Moonie]

That sack was on the receivers jogging around.

[papillon]

Well, that was short lived, 3rd and 8 might as well be 3rd and 20

Pappy

[Starlifter]

Hmmm. Blitzing can often be effective

[feltdizz]

all that time wasted for a punt

[WindyCitySteel]

Mitched stepped up into the pocket!

[papillon]

all that time wasted for a punt

Lol...

Pappy

[SteelBucks]

A 7 minute drive got us to midfield. That’s it.

[feltdizz]

Pappy

Pats are playing the run.

[skyhawk]

Another wasted opportunity by Harvin.

[Eich]

I missed the first half. Pretty glad I did. Jeez.

[feltdizz]

Calling plays like we have the lead

[papillon]

A 7 minute drive got us to midfield. That’s it.

Only this offense can manage that ineptitude

Pappy

[NorthCoast]

Mitched stepped up into the pocket!

... panicked when the 1st read wasn't there. It's a Steelers QB strength

[WindyCitySteel]

D hasn't been on the field for what, 30-40 minutes? No more excuses, make a play.

[NorthCoast]

Old man Elliot with 16 yards!

[feltdizz]

D hasn't been on the field for what, 30-40 minutes? No more excuses, make a play.

lmao.. you know that was always a lie. D is feast or famine

[skyhawk]

Old man Elliot with 16 yards!

D got manhandled on that play.

[T.Ferguson]

Impressive opening drive of the second half there for the Steelers offense, take 7 minutes off the clock, get to midfield and punt down 11 points at home.

[Moonie]

Good seeing Pickens get embarrassed on national TV for dogging it and acting like a jagoff.

[skyhawk]

So herbig gets that call but tj does not?

[WindyCitySteel]

Sharp dragging the coaching tonight, you love to see it. Same under Canada, all signs point back to Tomlin. He's an offensive dullard.
