Sell. Having 15-20,000 spread out over a 70,000 seat football stadium won't bring the same type of energy as a normal NFL field. It may provide bits of emotional boosts here and there, just not enough of a difference to be a competitive advantage.

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?

Buy. They drafted Claypool to help replace JuJu, Highsmith to replace Bud, and Snell/McFarland behind Conner Conner will command the lowest contract so I think he is most likely to re-sign.

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?

Zero excuse as long as Ben is under center. That goes for him too. He can't go out there and turn the ball over a ton trying to do too much.

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?

Sell. I'm running with what I have until there's an injury.

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?

Sell. Too many good QBs in the league.

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?

Sell, unless you are counting the third receiver as a starter.

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?

Buy. I'm not sold on our offensive line, particularly with run blocking which could make us one-dimensional.

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?

Sell. It seems like Brooks could be that second guy.

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?

Buy. They've done well so far and have hopefully learned from the mistakes from MLB.

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?

lol

Have an odd feeling juju may be back... but the others are gone.

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?
If this teams misses the playoffs, something very wrong happened. All the pieces are there for a deep run.

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?
Not without an injury, too many young players. Bringing one in most likely means one out. Injury poses a different concern of course.

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?
Absolutely. Comeback player of the year.

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?
Possibly, term “starter” is overrated in today’s NFL. As the season progresses, I believe we are more 4 receiver sets, with claypool on the field more often than not.

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?
Without a doubt, top 5 defense last year playing the most snaps in the NFL. Ridiculous.

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?
Don’t care. I just hope claypool makes the roster.
No, but really... I see Brooks and Davis practice squad bound.

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?
Full season, changes may happen.. but the show just go on.

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?
But the man does have a large body.

Run the gauntlet baby ! don't be skeered.

If there is no advantage to having fans attend games why do they fine teams for pumping in crowd noise ????
JuJu , BUD and Conner are in their last seasons with the team..... Rooneys will sell in the offseason to Jeff Bezos who can afford to build his own BUBBLE STADIUM
If they stay healthy no excuse for missing the Superbowl
The Steelers should not bring in an O T if for no other reason than to piss off Slash
BigBen will throw southpaw all season until Mike Tomlin gives him the ok to switch .... ala Burgess Meredith (Mickey) and Stallone in Rocky .... it ain't Philly but it is still Pennsylvania ..CPOY awaits
Chase Claypool will be a starter by years beginning
Steeler DEF will finish the season ranked higher than the KC OFF
From this years class only one player makes the team
With what we know now the NFL will do whatever it takes to help New England win
In reality Troy Polamalu's body was too small for his cranium

 

[Drink IRON City]

Buy or sell teams with fan attendance have a competitive edge over teams with no fans attending games ? (goodell says no advantage surprise!)

BUY, I'm advocation the teams without fans can use digital piped in crowd noise in the percentage of usual home team fan vs away fan at said stadium. Probably a 75-25 % in favor home team. Digital so fans can cheer for and against visitors. (Never happen but hey)

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...r-teams-that-can-have-fans-present-this-year/

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?

2/3 BUY. Two of the three will be gone and I'm hoping JuJu is the one that stays. This season will be a tell tale of all three so they best pound and grind with everything. BUD is gone regardless


Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?

BIG BUY. If they miss the playoffs under your condition, SBWCMVLT should be fired .

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?

BUY, not a bank breaker but someone who has game experience at the position

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?

BUY..... I see BEN playing entire season and at a pretty high caliber. He starts out real rusty and the doubters come out but by week three he is putting up the numbers and negating his beginning performance.

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?

BUY..... It's going to be hard to keep him off the field. Washington will be who he replaces unless injury to someone else

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?

EASY BUY

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?

SELL but know reasoning other than the odds

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?

BUY until they let the stands fill up

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large

BUY as I have it from a good source that that is exactly the case..................

Great gauntlet and I didn't get hit once,.....yet.

 

[jitter77]

Buy or sell teams with fan attendance have a competitive edge over teams with no fans attending games ? (goodell says no advantage surprise!)

Sell, this is a tough one, but I feel a loud crowd gets both teams pumped so both teams will get a bit of a crowd boost if they have fans

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...r-teams-that-can-have-fans-present-this-year/

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?

Sell, I think at least conner and JuJu will be back

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?

Buy

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?

Buy! The O-line could be a huge issue need all the help we can get

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?

Sell, too many question marks regarding Ben along with Oline issues

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?

Sell, but they seem to like to use 300 Wrs so depends on your def of "starter"

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?

Buy...Just hope the offense is competent at least

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?

Sell

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?

Sell, hope so , but unlikely. Players are too irresponsible and with no bubble have a feeling a few teams will have major issues

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?

Sell, Aaron Smith needed a bigger helmet not Troy!

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...r-teams-that-can-have-fans-present-this-year/

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?
Sell - Right now there is no cap room to sign ANYONE. WR and RB rooms are deep. I'd love to find ways to keep them, but not at pro bowl contract levels. As people have mentioned here, when Bud was tagged, it meant they weren't keeping him next year. I'm even good to move him this year to free up his contract and hopefully get a 1st rounder, but it throws a lot of questions about the team at EDGE if they do that.

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?
Buy - With the extra playoff spot and Tomlin's ability to stay above the Mendoza line, this should be a lock.

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?
Sell - Only bring in a vet if there is an injury. Go with who we have, and Gray has the ability to play all positions, so he can be called up to play any slot if needed.

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?
Buy (Cautiosly) - If he's heatlthy, he's going to have a great season. He's driven like I've never seen him

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?
Sell - No chance unless there is an injury to Washington. Next year is possible.

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?
Buy - That is a lock. The defense is rebuilt, talented, fast, and disruptive.

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?
Buy - Brooke has the toughest time right now to make the team with Ridley popping, and Marcus Allen showing he can play ILB. Lack of a preseason killed his develpment.

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?
Partial Buy - I'd say right now there is a 75% chance of a full season happening. The entire country needs to take this as seriously as the NFL to get through a full season.

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?
Buy - If you consider his hair, his head is ENORMOUS!!!!

MMMMMMMM Bacon


Seriously
maybe keep 1 of 3 out of JuJu Conner and Bud
we are playoff bound
not much cap left to sign anyone ...but O line depth is always a good thing
Ben will have a strong season ..... doubt Probowl simply because it is a passing league/running QB that receives the love nowadays
Claypool will be in the mix sooner than some think... define starter..... I think he is #3 option very quickly
DEF has all the tools to be successful and dominant once again... I hope it is a race to the top for both the DEF and OFF ...... edge to the DEF
Hard to say how cuts will be affected by the lack of training camp/preseason action... one would think it would only hinder a player's chances to make the squad
I don't see the NFL pulling the plug on the season for any reason
On the 8th day God created Troy P.....................nuff said

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Buy or sell teams with fan attendance have a competitive edge over teams with no fans attending games ? (goodell says no advantage surprise!)

BUY - I think after the first what 2 games with no fans. Any fans will make a difference. A home game with home fans > visitors,, is much better .



Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?

both. Bud is gone, Juju, I think it depends on the year he has and what others do around him. Conner. I think stays in Pittsburgh, because he wants to. I also think he wont command as big of a salary as some others might.


Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?

BUY - no excuse whatsoever. Only excuse could be ben going down.


Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?

SELL - If Steelers cant dance with who they brought onto the team over the last two /3 years , they cant evaluate talent. If Okorafor cant beat out Banner, then this should be his last year on the team. I think if they need to, they will bring in a C/G later. And move Feiler back out.


Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?

SELL - He will do well as usual, but his age and the number of other passing teams, etc.. It's not in the cards for him.


Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?

BUY - The speed and size. Unless he turns into Limas Sweed.


Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?

BUY - This defense is chock full of good/great players.


Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?

BUY ? - maybe none. May stash them all on the practice squad. Tomlin doesnt usuall cut draft picks.


Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?

BUY - This **** is going to end, especially after the election. Plus with the tv revenues, they can afford to have zero fans in stadiums.


Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?

SELL - the source of that conjecture has been proven wrong over and over again. Not to mention a gold jacket that doesnt show any flakes from that Magnificent cranial mane.

**** Raj.

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers?

Buy. So many unknowns going into next year. Until the season plays out and revenue is calculated and teams know what the cap is going to be...well, it isn't going to be a normal FA season next year. Sadly, don't know how we will keep any of the three no matter how much the cap moves up or down next year. I am sure Kevin C. has various plans and projections built as a framework to build on next year. But, just dont' see any of them coming back.

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs?

Buy. If they stay healthy, there is no reason not to be a contender at the end of the year. I am very excited about this defense. The offense only needs to be top 10 or 12 and I think if Ben is healthy, there should be no issue getting top 10 offense (even Randy can't **** it up that bad can he?)

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns?

Sell. No money and who? It isn't like there is an endless pool of people out there. ****, the G-Men may start a rookie at LT and RT. There just are not enough to go around the league for starters and depth.

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season?

Buy.

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end?

Push. He isn't going to be 1 or 2 receiver, but he will see plenty of field time with four and five wide sets.

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense?

Buy.

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs?

sell. Although I think I had him in my 53, I think Brooks is long shot simply because of the limited offseason.

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season?

Buy. I have been as cynical as anyone about pulling this off especially seeing how colleges and baseball were trending. But, for the most part, the NFL seems to have it together. There is still a high probability of a team or two running into a significant issue, but I am pretty impressed by the low number of cases so far. NFL is doing something right.

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body?

Don't care but if it was, maybe we should draft more people with oversized melons.

 

[wig]

My (pretty much useless) thoughts...

Buy or sell Juju,Bud, and Conner..this is their last season with the Steelers? Layaway, Bud, yes. Conner maybe. JuJu no.

Buy or sell With this teams talent on both sides of the ball as long as they stay relatively healthy there is no excuse for missing the playoffs? Sell, This team ALWAYS has an excuse. I have no reason to assume they won't find one this year.

Buy or sell the Steelers should bring in a veteran offensive tackle... if for no other reason depth concerns? Buy, I'm always a fan of depth.

Buy or sell BigBen will have a pro bowl worthy season? Buy. I think he'll start with his usual rust but turn it on mid to late season.

Buy or sell Chase Claypool will be a starter by years end? Sell. He's going to be fine, but I don't expect he'll be the 2nd coming.

Buy or sell the defense will finish the season ranked higher than the offense? Sell, sadly I don't expect the defense to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Hope I'm wrong.

Buy or sell from this year class, only one player will be cut come Saturday cut-downs? Coupon? I have no idea. I haven't even paid attention to the pre-season stuff.

Buy or sell the NFL with what we know now will play a complete season? Borrow, If they make it past November, I suspect they'll make it through the year. Thats a big If...

Buy or sell Troy Polamalu's head was entirely too large for his body? Sell. It seemed that way at first, certainly but it turns out it was AAAAALLLLLL hair.
