    Steelers @ Chargers

    A step up in competition this week. On the road.

    Chargers can be ran on . So there’s a good starting point for us. How do you see this one playing out?

    Another low scoring slugfest.

    Not even sure the Chargers are a step up in competition. They haven’t lived up to the hype this year.

      if we lose, it will be Tomlin's fault.

      obviously.

      and we'll see whatever/squidkid posting again, he's had to wait a long time since our last loss.

        Minkah out? TJ out? No Tuitt back? Ben out again? Claypool, Dotson and Turner, too?

        It could be ugly.

        I'm gonna say, not as ugly as it could be--

          Its a West Coast road game in the Pacific time zone! Not a thing to worry. Our record is giving the fans a false read, we beat / drew with bad teams.. by a small margin at home. We won't have that again and I predict we will see a let down in the second half of the season.
          Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

          Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

          *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

            Just saw a report that Ben should be back. So there's a ray of sunshine. I guess.

              I think this last tie against the winless Lions brought most Steelers' fans expectations back to Earth.

                No prediction from me. We usually don’t play well out west but the Steelers usually rise to the occasion when faced with adversity.

                Bring it! I’ll enjoy watching.

                  I’ll always predict a win..

                  even though my season prediction had 6 losses I just can’t bring myself to do it the week of the game.

                  I’m in Vegas right now. The time change is crazy.. no idea how athletes do it.

                  Now I get why our west coast record is so sketchy.

                    nah.. I think most fans knew this year was a toss up or worse.

                    Even in my change your record prediction thread most people were conservative.

                      So, I guess Canada will call up 50 passes!

                        Chargers placed DE Joey Bosa on the reserve/COVID list.


                        Interior run-stuffer Jerry Tillery will join him on the list. It's bad news for the availability of both on Sunday night as few players have been able to turn around for their upcoming game when testing positive mid-week, Tuesday included; it's unclear if either Bosa or Tillery tested positive or if they were simply close contacts. Their statuses ahead of Sunday Night Football are with monitoring.

                          NBC must be exhausting their options on trying to get this one flexed.

                          might be the worst game on this week

                            I want to wait later in the week to see who all is playing. Too early to predict.
                            Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

                            I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

                              With these guys out and Ben expected back, I'll revise my prediction for the Chargers game
