Here we are in week 4, sitting at 2-1. As bad as they have played, they are still on the winning side of the scale. We will need a better performance
from both sides of the ball. Aurthor Smith needs to call a touch more better & mixed up down plays. He is bordering on predictability and percentages per down. Makes it to easy on the defense to pin back and rush or drop for pass based on play selection alone.
----OL will be my biggest view of concern. HC isn't seeing the difficulties projected on these guys by continuing the scheme regardless of result. Bang head into concrete wall and continue doing so despite it hurting each time. Man on Man is as basic as it gets but would be an improvement of what we are getting currently.
---- DL / MLB stop the run. Holcom is starting over Wilson, this will help in the run effort. I still see the same alignment of TJ Watt all game, nothing to counter act (Blitz / position rotate /. Take note though, WATT is the best player they have and he does a lot of un-seen things through-out the game.
----DBs looks like Elliot and JPJ are going to see playing time, that is a plus as well.


PITTSBURGH STEELERS-----------at--------Minesota Vikings------------------ Ireland edition (do not like foreign games)


Tie Breakers

1)
TJ Watt total tackles including assist(s) combined (assist count as one)
2) Aaa-Ron combined total sack / TD rush & pass / interception
3) Jaylen Warren rush yards average per carry (just this game)

4) This past week I had a lady call about some plumbing question of a rental that we had worked on in the past. I answered all her questions patiently, but also told her I had closed my business and retire. She was happy for me and had said she was retired too (she is 1 yr older than me). She also led right into asking me out on a date, which I accepted. The tie-breaker question is Who should pay for the date ? Him or Her and I look forward to varied comments to support your answer. In today's time, old fashioned has left the building.



head slamming rock wall, Aaa-ron still upright, TJ is back, Mike Tomlin extension on the line........................................................................................................ 28.5

Shout out- TMC page 1064 / thread "Found this on NFL.com from Ozzie Newsome" / post 1.................... Thank you TMC and have always appreciated you.!!!


HOT Topic: My original topic was deemed to HOT for the short amount of time I have to write it. I'm using a different topic today.
........Dogs are a very friendly and owner loved pet. Owners have a tendency to treat the pet better than family members at time. I've had constant dog problems on my place for the 25+ years I've lived here. I've had a couple pet dogs myself as well, currently I do not for last 11 years. 1.5 years ago I was involved in a bad dog bite situation. It started from a knock on my door and a distressed young lady looking for her dog. She said he had run onto my place and claimed he was an "Emotional support dog" (this comes into play later). I said (1st mistake) that I'd put shoes on and help her look. We searched and found, but the dog would not come to her or me. Eventually the dog stopped near me and I said should I grab him, she said yes he doesn't bite...... I did and all hell broke lose, the dog bit and ripped my hand badly. Of course I let go and to keep my hand together I pulled my glove out of back pocket and put over injured hand. The dog did come to her and she got leash on it. I call the Sherrif office and with a dog bite blood involved they sent immediate response.
........... Long story shortened I couldn't hold owner to anything other than medical. I couldn't press trespassing as I invited her on as to my offer to help find the dog. There is no such thing as an "emotional support" dog. There is no certification offered for said title. A service dog has to be trained and pass to earn the degree of a service dog, no small feat. Even as a service dog they have limited rights when it comes to the law if unprovoked attach.
.......... I've made it my policy from that day forward, there is no "nice guy" in play. If a dog enters my property I take pictures / video to prove said dog is identifiable to my property, then call the sheriff's office to report stray dog. I show the proof, they locate the dog and arrest the dog, to later have the owners pay fine, which gets steeper each time by #3 it's to expensive so most put the dog down. (not my fault as a land owner)
.......... I've had several dog owners holler and scream at me because I won't let the onto my private property. I respond that they were the poor dog owner who allowed their dog to escape, It wasn't me who let him run free.
.......... My property does NOT have to be posted, but I have NO Trespassing signs up and viewable.
.......... You'd think everybody hates me but it's the exact opposite. I established a boundary and stuck to it. I also do things for most in need, throughout the year, whether it's plow snow from a driveway to helping a kid with a flat tire, to giving garden veggies, amongst many other things as well.
......... My county road is used by many and people will bring their dogs out and run them while they drive their car, a problem in the making with all the deer I have around. My stance is I'm only as hard as the people around me drive me to be.



Good luck to our beloved STEELERS and Ireland.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Brian Flores’ New Team 35
Brian Flores’ Old Team 17

1. 4.
2. 4/2/3
3. 3.0
 
Man Drink I did not like this game when I first saw it on the schedule.
The Vikes have a solid roster but lack that franchise QB. Maybe McCarthy will be that guy, idk.
Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores are excellent coaches and you can bet they will be prepared.
O’Connell will have the veteran Wentz very prepared to exploit the Steelers soft zone defense and Flores will create havoc with his exotic blitzes and different looks which will pressure this OL.

Vikings 27
Steelers 20
Hope Im wrong!

TJ = 6
Aaron sacks = 4
TD Rush/Pass= 2
Warren Rush Yards= 52
Warren ypc 3.4

Man, I’m torn on this one. Minn is more talented and has the better coaches and schemes, but they’re coming off the highest of highs and I really think the org is treating this like a playoff game for the Rooneys.

Ball is played on the field, however, so...

Vikings 34 Steelers 17

1) 8
2) 8
3) 4.9
4) Him. Old-fashioned is still my MO, but I haven’t been on as first date in 32 years so I may be out of touch. Especially if it’s a simple casual dinner, if she insists on the best steakhouse in town and orders surf and turf and a bottle of Dom, escape through the bathroom window before the check arrives.
 
The Steelers don’t get 5 gifts this week soooo

Vikings : 27
Steelers : 20

Tiebreakers
1) 3
2) 3
3) 3
4) She asked you out so it’s on her to pay, that’s the brave new world we live in. Of course you can always be a standup up guy and offer to pay if you see it going anywhere to set that good first impression. I’ve never invited someone else out, friend or date, and expected them to pay (if I do the inviting I’m always prepared and willing to foot the bill)
 
Vikes 36
Steelers 14

1. 4.5
2. 2/2/2
3. 3.7
4. No idea what the 4th Tiebreaker is supposed to be?



Who pays for the date if she asked me out?

Is it socially acceptable to start drinking at 8:30?AM?


I think the bigger question is “Are you socially acceptable when you are drinking?”

I asked around and you have a very loyal following at QWhite Castle. Once I brought them in to my interrogation lab,
They cracked. I can’t release the findings due to the “Adult content”, but ………………..

I’ll continue to scrape you up and haul you home in the LS10.
