Pregame Green Bay vs Steelers

This 3 game stretch is crucial. We could lose all 3. Looking at the Ravens schedule, if they find any resemblance of a defense, they could easily win the next 5 in a row…at least. This division is far from over.

I have no idea what to expect,but after last week my expectations are set back to zero. It's like this every year now.

My expectations will never raise past zero until a playoff win streak or AFC Championship game appearance happens fixing my expectations meter.

Watching the ultimate fold down the stretch last year broke my expectation meter…the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.

For any fan with eyeballs and a brain to still have expectations after so many folds and blowouts requires a certain level of insanity that one should likely be institutionalized for having.

Thats why that ******* Cinci game was so important

The trade deadline is in less than two weeks...

If we are 5-1 and the Bengals are 2-5, they are probably trading guys away, not adding guys
The Ravens, being 4 games out arent looking to add a pass rusher or DL help..

If we had won that game then won this one, even with the SOS disparity, tge division is over

Sadly, one can never underestimate Mike’s ability to uncork a lengthy 5 game losing streak to swing what should be a tightly sealed door on the division wide open for a Rat or Bungle to run through.

I knew the Bungle game was a wrap as soon as Mike was shaking in his boots and pissing down his leg cuz they acquired a 40 something retread QB. Talk about living in your fears…and the team rewarded his vote of no confidence with a big fat L.

Highly doubt a good coach, a confident coach, like Dan Campbell would ever be caught pissing down his leg cuz Unibrow is coming to town…but not Mike, he issued that vote of “no confidence” for his HISTORIC efense he assembled and they rewarded him with another 💩 performance.

New here. Been lurking for a while now.

Anyhow.... no one has mentioned that if the Packers win it will be a first for them in Pittsburgh since 1970. I'm feeling good about this game.

Our current secondary has guys that started their NFL careers in 1970. I hope you're right.

This is a classic Tomlin rebound game. 10 days to prepare after a bad loss, at home on SNF, NFC team with a QB who holds the ball a long time. Throw in that it’s the biggest game for ARod in years and I’d say it’s a must win.

If they lose this and the D looks bad again, I think the bottom falls out.

I will just watch in amusement for the rest of the season as this teams failure to acquire a second top level receiver indicates to me they are not serious about winning anything that matters. Case closed.

They just plugged in enough pieces like dk and Rodgers to keep us suckers hanging on.

I'll just try to chuckle and not get angry at this keystone cop of an organization(in its current form) till Tomlin is gone...if I live that long lol.

Flacco has been facing Tomlin's defenses since Bush Jr was still in the White House, and Tomlin is known for wanting to keep the gameplans basic on short weeks, for better or worse.

Probably more "worse" given his team's performances in those games.

I’m glad you said “playoff win streak”, because a single win would not exonerate the Tomlin past.

I currently don’t see a “streak” happening this year. (Coolie at a UH 1/2time doesn’t count)




Salute the nation
 
I'm getting pretty good odds on our defense holding Green Bay under 1,000 yards of offense, but I'm not sure whether I should take them.

Sounds like Pitt tearing up the new field

When they resod the field, they ought to run sun lamps over it for several days to stimulate growth. Lots of watering and maybe even CO2 and nitrogen treatments.

Its clearly not getting the root system it needs in time after this last resodding
 
The conspiracy theory Wig should have brought up by now is that the NFL is tanking natural grass fields to kill the narrative about turf that has ignited again the past couple years...
after all, replacing turf.. particularly in an indoor stadium can be extremely pricey...
 
Penn State has natural grass but they don't let anybody else play on it. Penn State themselves don't even step foot on it until gameday.
 
I never bet against the Steelers, but I do find it hard to believe they win this one. The Packers should put up a lot of points. They can run and throw on O, and they have a stud TE, which we typically struggle against. I definitely think we will need to score north of 30 to have a chance.
