Official 2013-2014 Pittsburgh Steelers Thread

[HomerPenguin]

Tomlin and Colbert have zero control over this team. It's actually stunning.

Given their draft record from 2008 until now, this is maybe the most charitable thing you can say about them.

[Froggy]

our defensive yardage rankings were skewed last year because before he got hurt, Ben was a GOD on 3rd downs. Our time of possesion was nuts the first half of last year. The other team's offense can't gain yards if they don't see the field.

[the wicked child]

It also didn't help when every CB got hurt at the same time and they had guys off the street trying to cover receivers.

any chance of the Steelers taking a look at him?

[skullman80]

Hillis stinks.

[JS©]

...as does the collective group of current RBs on the Steelers roster.

I haven't kept up with his career since he left Cleveland. I know he was in Tampa but figured he wouldn't see much time with Martin on the team, but I had no idea he was buried so deep in Tampa that he was 0 carries for 0 yards...in 0 games.

[HomerPenguin]

Wasn't Hillis originally drafted as a FB? Can he block? They can't get any worse at TE/FB (behind Miller) than they already are.

[Pavel Bure]

Ben Roethlisberger: HELLO TOBACCO MOUTH. THE BEN NO MORE THROW THE DINKS. BEFORE TOBACCO MOUTH COME, THE BEN GOT TO RUN AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND BEHIND BLOCKER GUYS THEN CHUCK BALL VERY FAR AND WHO KNOWS? SOMETIMES THE BEN GOT A TROPHY. NOW THE BEN JUST DINK AND DUNK AND DOOP AND DONE. THEN THE KICK MAN RUN OVER FROM SIDELINE AND EVERYBODY SAD. THE BEN TIRED OF KICK MAN. THE BEN TIRED OF DINKS AND THE BEN TIRED OF TOBACCO MOUTH ANGRY FACE. THE BEN TIRED! THE BEN TIRED! THE BEN… [Falls asleep]

So why exactly does this team have so many damn prime time games again?

Because they have been among the leaders in ratings and merchandise sales for decades?

[FreeCandy44]

Alrighty Steelers fans, the pirates scored a whopping 3 runs today. Please tell me you can get over 3.

[shafnutz05]

I have Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, and Martellus Bennett on several fantasy teams tonight. So the chances of the Steelers showing up the Bears and playing excellent D are pretty swell

[shafnutz05]

Call me a PSU homer, but why exactly is Derek Moye being benched tonight? He strikes me as one of the best playmakers on the Steelers offense thus far (small sample size notwithstanding)

Should be interesting to see how a few dawn years will effect the Stiller Nation. I've met numerous members and they have no ties to Pgh and and are bandwagoners extraordinaire.

PSU homer.

[Grunthy]

They did all right in the late nineties when they were mediocre.

Because you can't bench a TE in case Miller isn't 100%, you won't really bench Sanders, Cotchery or Brown so that leaves Wheaton, who plays a lot of special teams, or Moye.

I'd guess next week if Miller is fine we don't dress Palmer and Moye gets back in.

I think the growth has occurred since then. I don't think many of the Steeler Nation were around in the 70's.

They are three years from a super bowl. They won't lose any fans.

[the wicked child]

There was a time when I wouldn't even think about watching a TV show over a live Stillers game. That time is not tonight.

[shafnutz05]

Maybe the Steelers will actually force a turnover tonight....LOLOL.GIF

Benched? Darn. He'll get his chance eventually I hope.

The defense won't force it cutler will just be his normal self and hand one of them the ball.

[Froggy]

23-10 steelers. Nothing rational at all to base this on.

[Grunthy]

21-13 Chicago.
