nossagog Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thought I'd create a thread to talk about the Steelers as we come down to the post season. I'm going to admit it, I didn't think they'd come back in the game against the Ravens. When the Ravens took the lead with 1:15 left, I looked at my son and said "Well that it. No way they come back against Baltimore in the last minute. I was wrong. I'll head up to the 'burgh and say 10 Hail Franco's at the confluence. I'm sorry I gave up hope. Can't say I'll never lose faith again, but I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfondajane Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It's called the pity factor only team in all of sports that has it's! Never been a fan of the Steelers! My suggestion is to move the team to Saint Louis,San Antonio or Toronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I used to follow very closely. But the recent decision making by the NFL has me boycotting this season. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfondajane Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I do like what they did with the extra point attempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Immaculate Extension. :-) I like their playoff match-ups. Miami at home with a back-up QB. Then (if they win) at Oakland with a back-up QB. Of course, one can't forget Tim Tebow in 2012.

nossagog Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Great game today against the 'fins. Thought they should have taken out Bell and Ben a little earlier, but on to KC we go. Thought also they could have blitzed a little more in the second half, but a win is a win there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well a thriller in KC and off to meet the Patriots we go. Some questionable play calling near the goal line probably cost the Stillers a TD or two, but a win is a win. Going to be a lot tougher this Sunday, six field goals will not work.

mojo1917 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 it's not his running style...but pound the patriots with Levian Bell...keep the ball away from the anti-christ as much as possible. Turn #48 loose from the edge all day long and run that mother ****** into retirement. This game always turns my attitude about the Stillers from that of benign ambivalence to rabid fan.

They need to be able to get to Brady. Hit him hard and often. I wouldn't even have a problem with a few roughing the passer penalties if it knocks him off his game. My biggest fear is that the odds of Belichik/Patricia coming up with a strategy to stop are a lot better than Tomlin/Butler stopping Brady. The Pats just dink and dunk us to death.

They dink and dunk everyone to death, especially now that Gronk is out. They were beatable last week, if they had been playing anyone other than the Houston Texans, and the mighty gunslinger Brock Osweiler. I agree with @mojo1917 Need to run the ball..alot...control the clock, keep the ball away from Brady. I want to see Pittsburgh make NE play from behind. I think that's key to them winning. Force Brady to chuck it 45 times, with those WR's, they'll be some picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Should be a good game. The Pats won by 11 with Ben out in the regular season. This one should be a lot more competitive. Though Ben doesn't have the best road game there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
