Tomorrow went from a win would be great, to it almost being a necessity. Losing to the Giants twice was no bueno.

Could very well be what prevents them from making the playoffs. Still 9 games left to play for both teams though.

Not a huge surprise, but seeing him play last week and knowing he has a banged up knee makes me see how we can have a shot in this game.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

With the Giants win, the pressure is on. Normally, I would expect them to completely fold in a game like this, but for some reason I am feeling fairly optimistic.

On D, the back 7 need to have their game of the year. On O, while I know they will need to run the ball to win the game, I am expecting a big game from the wide receivers and Logan Thomas.

Yeah actually I think this a good week to have a lot of short/quick passing game, screens, sweeps and reverses, protect Alex and help that OL against a solid front.

Cause of the start time I’m gonna miss opening hour.

I’m really interested to see how far we have really come along. Should be a measuring stick on for our young guys with individual match ups.

Hope we can compete

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

I can only watch the first half live. Won't listen to the radio or look at the phone so I can watch the 2nd half on DVR.


The media has really been on our bandwagon this week. Someone will beat the Steelers, may as well be us. We really need it after NJ surprised Seattle yesterday.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

Ive watched parts of the last 2 Steelers games .. seems like high volume short passes (?). Seems like us and the entire league is high volume short pass attack.

Really hope we can get pressure and actually get home on Big Ben.

Good test for our over achieving O line. Wouldnt not be surprised if Steelers front 7 dominates the LOS. Good test for Turner to see if he game plans well for them and if he has some adjustments in mind if our O line struggles, we cant run the ball or injuries.

Food for the game? I normally grill or roast some type of meat on Sundays ... kinda thrown off by this Monday 5 pm start bc I grilled yesterday.

Thinking wings and maybe like a legit cobb salad?

I saw a tweet this morning that said Pitt runs the most quick game in the league. We're going to have to cover and tackle well.

It's because Ben has a noodle arm now, if we can get pressure on him we could have a shot

Somewhat surprising, they have a good O line and I dont see may injuries so youd think they wouldnt have to quick pass it.

James Conner seems to be out. Would love to see former terp Anthony McFarland get some touches. I think he could have a solid career once he gets a chance.

Big Ben has a knee injury.

I'd go wedge salad myself but I don't like hard boiled eggs.

Could this game be Chase Young’s break out game?
