Suddenly we have a team. We beat the hapless dolphins and now a lot of talking heads suddenly think we are contenders. I watch a YouTube video claiming we are going to the SB and win. reality will set in, at best maybe a playoff win.
——Detroit is a different sort of animal. they have two running backs that can get it done. our run “D” is susceptible and an overweight Cam isn’t going to be able to single handle stop it. He isn’t going to have to do it by himself. Harmon will be a go and Yaya Black is playing much better as well. they can step up and slow the bleed, but the DBs are going to have to really step up.
—— Our offense is a good match-up to their defense. Passing is susceptible and we can exploit it. Our best offense is to keep time of possession in our favor, we can do that. They seemed to find the middle of the field, thielen seems to help DK & vise-A-versa. We need to release the Kracken, Warren and Gainwell need used and a lot. Whether in the pass / dump / play action / run, heavy dose and the simplified blocking. Cook will be a difference, he play good we do good, he play bad……. It will show.



PITTSBURGH STEELERS ——- at ——- Detroit Lions

Tie break
1) rushing yards given up (EDIt: total by steelers)
2). Cam pass defended / sack / fumble recovery / forced fumble / tackles all combined (example: 34)

3) TIs the season. I am planing on giving my neighbors (several new ones & few old ones) a sort of neighbor welcoming / Christmas present. It is a very simple item, 1- pint local honey. How many pints will i be giving away ?



New found hope, 1/2 time TB twelve consumption Aaa-Ron, Tomlin changing his way..……………..26.4

Yellow brick road lions-n-tigers-n-bears, Goff slice, Barry Sanders has left the building………………23


Tie break
1) 178
2) 9

3) Not every neighbor will get one, a new developement was built last year, trailer court Rita will get one.


Loser
Jaguars




HOT TOPIC ; It’s Christmas time people, gifts / Santa / dreams / hopes / are all alive and well. The hustle and bustle could easily be over-whelming and consuming. I once was in this dilemma of action, but to save sanctity I moved out of this kind of thinking. I get some gifts for other, I do pass the spirit amongst everyone, and I take it serious enough to make sure others have what is needed.
———. I also make no mistake about the true meaning of the birth of Christ our savior. Take the time to acknowledge and praise our savior.

Merry Christmas my friends / fellow Steelers fans / and all the in between.

Kneecaps Campbell vs. Shades. This is a tough one to call.
Every coach does boneheaded ****, the better ones do less boneheaded **** than the others. Campbell probably does more boneheaded **** than Shades.
I'd feel better if TJ and Herbig were playing but the Lions have their own injury issues on defense.
The Lions have Goff so the challenge will be beating Goff. Some days you wake up and feel like beating Goff even though it's hard.
Other days you wake up feeling soft and don't feel like beating Goff.

In a dome, both teams have shaky defenses and decent offenses.
Normally I would pick the Steelers to lose, but.....

Team Beating Goff 35
Beaten Goff 33

Tiebreakers
1. 130
2. 4
3. 4

*Credit to the morning show on 93.7 The Fan for being the first ones to talk about beating Goff.
 
Lions 42
Steelers 13

1. 192 rush yards given up by the Steelers

2. Six

3. Seven. Seven pints of honey.

Loser: Steelers +4.5

regardless of who wins both of these teams will do their best to keep it close just because.

A aron led steelers 27 The Boz kicks a 77 yard FG with 10 yards to spare to win in the last 3 seconds.

Lions 26

1) steelers defense gives up 189 rushing yards to the Lions.

2) 0-0-0-0-8

Jags are my loser team this week.

Both guys, I meant total rush yards given up by the Steelers defense, not game total, just clarifying

I put an Edit into the tie breakers to help explain

Just an aaaa-Ron ‘double check” for yaz.

If those hapless Dolphins would have beat us we would have the same record....but they didn't so now we are bona fide contenders per the talking heads. Go figure
 
US...........27
THEM.......23
 
Going up against a top 5 (and possibly top 3) RB and WR in this one. The D better be ready, and the O better start guns blazing as they will, more than likely, need well past 30 to win. Git-r-done!!!!!!!!!!!

Steelers - 38
Lions - 34
 
After a 'thrilling' victory over a bad team, the good guys come up short.

Stillers 24
Detroit 30

1. 120 rushing yds against us
2. 6
3. 7 pints of honey. 6 for the neighbors and 1 for the pantsless bear that lives in the 100 acre wood by your place.

I read it right just typed it in wrong. I'll stick with the 189 sadly. but thanks for looking out for us..
 
Lions 34
Steelers 23
Not this time boys! Both teams have significant injuries but the bad cats just have a much better roster and are much better coached.
Cats rushing total 200
Cam’s big day 2

I actually will be shocked if the outcome is even close. Steelers would have a hard time even if they had their full available. I think for me it is their O vs the Steelers D just a huge mismatch. The Steelers don’t have a juggernaut O to match.

Strap in this one could get ugly.
 
Well ****, I’m a talking head 🤣
We’re not only a contender…But THE team to beat at this point

Best HC in the league, maybe best ever ✔️
Best pure passer ever ✔️
Two headed beast backfield ✔️
Dominant LT ✔️
Historic defense ✔️

Watch and see, watch and see yee non-believers

We’ll be Burning down the house
Fighting Fire with Fire if you will and things of that nature

Expect the Lions to be biting a lot of kneecaps as they get knocked down again and again…same as it ever was

Hell Unleashers soon to be 7 time SB champs: 31
Kneecap Biters: 27

You may ask yourself, “well how did I get here”
The here being Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara
See check marks above for components 😎

No prize: The prize as always is watching the GOAT HC drive the car and the upcoming victory lap will be here soon…same as it ever was
 
I swear - the AFC North is the division no one really wants. If this were the college playoffs, the winner wouldn't even be invited. I know it's tough to get a tie but an 8-8-1 season would be a perfect Tomlinship!

Herbert must be on another team, so i’ sure you’re right…….

Herbig is MIA as well
