Man two weeks felt like two years. It is the great pumpkin month Charlie Brown, I think the Steelers will avoid today turning into one. So some pregame notes:


*TJ with a birthday well we want our cake and eat it too !


* You say Watt about Big Ben? You are crazier than hell.

* For the one poster who thinks Tuitt has been quiet so far.

2. T.J. Watt, Steelers - 10
3. Bud Dupree, Steelers - 8
3. Stephon Tuitt, Steelers - 8

* A win today would give the Steelers their first 4 and 0 start in 41 years.


^Trey Edmunds has a green light.

Taking advantage of a new rule for the first time, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced Saturday that they are elevating Trey Edmunds from their practice squad to the active roster for today’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While some things change, some things apparently don't. The class of the league ! So I am thankful we will get to see our team play today !

Interesting Stats Slash. Didn’t realize they were above us in the old sack department. I am hoping for more 2 TE sets today. With the hope of targeting both TE’s in the passing game,as well as Pass protection. I really think we underuse our TE’s and have for years. I am definitely ready for a game of total Steeler domination. No close give me a heart attack ****. I have to putter around today with lots to prepare,making Thanksgiving Dinner for a twap of people tomorrow night. So......pedal to the metal no bullshit.....pressure,pressure,pressure!

Perfect game for Steelers TE increased reps. Not only would that help nullify their pass rush, but it is one of their Ds biggest weaknesses right now - defending the TE.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
I expect Stephon Tuitt & TJ Watt to be very disruptive in this game. Philly's right side of the O-line is very inexperienced. Bud should also be able to get some pressure against their backup LT.
 
I hope I don't regret not starting Ben in my fantasy league. I decided to stick with Josh Allen. I hope all TD passes go to Ebron & Ju Ju.

This is the best team the Steelers have played so far. Well see how good we are today.

The stands look the same way they always do at the opening kickoff - mostly empty.

To be honest, I don't really know how that would be handled. I can only assume that might be added to this weeks points whenever the game is played. Our league is through CBS and they've been dealing with all of the COVID related rescheduling. Thus far, it's only resulted in unplanned bye weeks, but if the Titans get pushed back again I have no idea what they would do.
 
Anybody have a good streaming source for the game by chance, my normal one isn't working right now. Send PM if you can, thanks.
 
Birthday boy Watt with a sack!!!!
