Week 1 ............ Prediction thread

[Drink IRON City]

Any and ALL are welcome to play !

Well here we are as another season is about to get under way. Many questions have arisen and been discussed over and over here.

Will Cam actually play ? Can the Aged Wonder QB this team to the promised land ? Will coaching accept the change that Tomlin says was needed ?

We will patiently watch it all unfold here, week by week, win by win until there is no more winning and #7 is in the trophy case.!!!


Important things to know
1) I ultimately decide any discrepancies / tie breakers / arguments / ruling on the field.
2) If any questions see above statement
3) winner is decided on lowest differential of the score (both Steelers & opponents)
4) Tie breakers are used, its up to you if you want to use them in your prediction
4a) If you play and win, you must be willing to PM slash or myself your mailing address. If you are not willing to do that (PM address)
...... Then put No Prize above your prediction. This can be a banned action and I want everyone to participate.
4c) Entries need to be in 1hr before kick-off (i'll cut some slack but please be promt)

5) We will address some very fun / some deep / some dark / poor man cooking / topics through out the season
6) A lot of fun for everyone

STEELERS ................ at ............... Jets

(this would be the NO_PRIZE spot)
Cam the 2-sack wonderer plays, Tomlin is active, Historic Defense shows, Jones pancakes (not the eating kind)........................................... 34.5

Fields has a field day 15-31 / 5sacks / 2 int. / 1-FL, Joe Namath shows up, new coach gets out coached........................................................... 17


TIE Breakers
1) DK's receptions / total yards / TDs example 5 / 126 / 3
2) Aaa-Ron's rushing yards
3) Total Historic defenses take-aways
4) Using Imperial standard measurement, How much mulch product have I harvested currently......................................... ?
A shout out to my Canadian Brothers, always look forward to you being here.
A special THANK YOU to slashsteel who pays for both the weekly prizes and postage to get them to the winners.
Take a moment and thank him.
I have to cut this short as I've got a family emergency I have to attend.
Next week we will get full regottA, this will be sort of a "break-in" for the up coming season.

Good luck to everyone, including Paul / Djfan / steelmann / confluence / Burgundy / BLITZ / and many many more.

First game is always hard because we don't have much to go on.
Steelers usually start out slow but OTOH the Jests are always bad. OTOOH, Shades usually ***** the bed playing bad teams on the road, OTOOOH, the Jests are at least in our time zone.
I'll go with a Steelers win but closer than it should be.

Justin Fields' old team 20
A-Aron's old team 17

SBWHCGOATCOYMT & his historic D: 23

Justin’s new Squad: 17

1) DK 6 catches 64 yards and a goose egg
2) 12 yards
3) the historic ones take 2
4) it’s confidential as this will be a component of covering up Fields body which will be planted in the turf, maybe several places depending how pissed TJ is.

And many thanks to DIC and Slash for keeping the tradition alive

Mmmm
So week 2 QB controversy brewing

If Aaa-Ron is upright, there will be no QB controversy.

Even if the Tomlin was high / drunk / and fat,……….. he’d never switch AAaaa-Ron out.

He does seem to be getting a bit of a belly

I might be able to help him with the high/drunk parts of the trifecta

But alas, Rudy will only guide the sleigh should Aaron get hurt and ALL other options have proven below the line components forcing his hand to Rudy.

Ready for some football!

[steelhurt]

The arrogant, egotistical, stubborn Tomlin would never remove Mr.Rodgers for Rudy.
Hell, he wouldn’t replace Russ with Justin last season as the team took a deep dive losing five straight.
Read an interesting piece on Steelernation homepage this morning where Julian Edelman talked about Tomlin’s predictable defense over the years. Edelman said they knew what defense the Steelers would call when the players would yell out the signals. He said that game they lost to the Pats st Acrisure in 2023 the Steelers should have won and that they were the better team but Pats players knew what the defense was going to be.
The article talked about Tomlin's refusal to change.
Good read!

[bermudasteel]

I'm just gonna predict the score...

The J-E-T-S are in big trouble. Starting RG is now out for the season. I already think our defense was going to be awesome this year and this will start the season of with a bang. Not sure about the apple turnovers but I'm sure there will be 6 sacks or more.

That being said...

Steelers 24
Jets 9
