Week 8 and 4-2, who would have thought? Add in the "how we got here" and it's even more amazing.
Bungles game can be seen as a "bad" night for the Efense, our offense actually looked pretty good.
Onto the Green Bay Packers. Love hasn't been playing top notch as of late. Their defense has been average. Our offense should be able to move the ball in both rush and pass. This will come down to Author Smith and his recently improved chess match ability. Ultimately it will come down to coaching and game plan. I hope the mini-bye has helped in giving time to coaching to put together a formidable game plan on both sides of the ball (mostly concerned on the D side).

HOT Topic: Black Man / White Boy

BACK STORY: I was 7 yrs old, 1967 and home alone on my Uncles Dairy farm, in a no-where place. I stayed home to do evening chores as that was my Job. We milked about 30-40 cows (had milking machines).

---- It was about 10am in the morning and there was a knock at the door. I answered and to my surprise there stood a Black man. He said his name was Lewi (just like the hit song at the time) and if my parents were home. I said no & it was my uncle/aunt and they went sight seeing and wouldn't be back until late/early evening.
---- My eyes must have been huge as he noticed my amazement. He asked if I had ever seen a Black Man before and I said no, never. My other uncles had spoken negatively (prejudice) about black men as to their experience with them in the military. I wasn't influenced as I had never met a man of color.
---- Lewi held out his arm and said go ahead, touch my arm as you will see it's just like yours. Remember this was all happening on the door step and I was 7 years old. I reached out an touched his arm and yes, he was correct as it felt just like mine. We shook hands as I told him my name and continued talking. I'm sure compared to this day and age, I gave way to much information to a stranger who didn't feel like a stranger at all.
---- Lewi wanted to rent a room as he was driving truck for the gravel pit across the road. I told him he would have to ask my uncle. Lewi stayed and we visited the whole day and when it was time for me to do chores, he dug right in and helped me get done in record time. As a kid and even now as an adult, Lewi would be my friend with how he told his stories and handled himself. I showed un-tainted child curiosity and loved our interaction.
---- My uncle came home and Lewi asked about a room and my Uncle said yes. I had to clean out the back door entry closet floor, put down some bedding and that became my bed for the next month and a half or so as Lewi got my bedroom. I didn't care as He and & I became pretty good friends. I could have cared less what color he was and in my heart knew my other uncles were wrong (prejudices).
MORAL to the Story: I think a lot of prejudice is experience from pre-determined conscious influence of others. In my case it was my other uncles negativity. My Kids were very little and had a near same experience at a groceries store with a handicapped (Mexican) who did near the same of showing my kids the hook like thumb on the end of his arm. My kids were 5 & 6 at the time. It doesn't matter what color and who is showing who role. The positive experience is the root of equality to all. I don't have all the answers or scenarios for everyone, but this episode in my life I accredit to my not caring of skin color, but more of human decency / honest / integrity. This is not intended to be a debate of a justification, but just an accounting of how I grew up and experienced many different methods of life. Thank You for reading my story.


Shout out to Ike Kelly page 15 thread "Steelers reveal new throwback uniforms, post 43

I thank everybody for their participation and comradery.

Question of the day: Will berm be able to stay up for the entire SNF game and be able to remember the actual game?

Thank You slash

The Vision: As DIC (Delightfully Imaginative Cultivator) takes pause from an afternoon of hard labor, he wipes the sweat from his brow and stares into the distance where his four gardens lay bare, and a reverie begins.

Each Garden becomes a kingdom; The Carrot Confederacy, ruled by a wise old carrot named Sir Rootrick. who speaks in riddles and demands that DIC prove his worth by solving a riddle: "I grow without a sound, yet I'm louder than a shout. I bloom in silence, but I stir every sprout. I'm not seen, but I'm felt in every seedlings dream. What am I"? DIC thinks real hard about it and answers it incorrectly. "Morning wood!" Sir Rootrick punts him from the Confederacy, deemed unworthy, indeed!

He then lands in Garden two, the Tomato Tribunal. A fiery court of heirloom tomatoes looks down upon DIC in judgement and asks his intentions towards the "Lady of the Lavender" a regal older lady he met on his back forty. DIC tells them that it's none of their bee's wax, and he's escorted out by two huge Beefsteaks and tossed out on his ear.

DIC dusts himself off and mumbles a few choice words by the way he was handled, then wanders into garden three, The Lettuce Labyrinth, a maze of bock choy, romaine lettuce stalks and walls of spinach as large as NYC skyscrapers. DIC finds himself lost for days navigating not only the greens around him, but also his feelings. He finally finds a way out, exhausted, he wipes the snot from his upper lip and dries his eyes. He be crying ya know!

He then runs into a secret society in garden four, The Potato Underground. They believe DIC is the prophesied Ebonroot the Forgotten, destined to unite the gardens and bring peace and an abundance of worm castings for all! The potatoes rejoice at his coming and begin to chant his name EB-ON-ROOT! EB-ON-ROOT! EB-ON-ROOT! EB-ON-ROOT! EB-ON-ROOT!

"DIC!!!" DIC suddenly snaps out of it, a little confused as he looks around and see's an all too familiar face. He smiles, embarrassed, and accepts a glass of sweet tea that she brought to him. "Sorry, I must of zoned out a bit there."

She looks at him with a puzzled expression on her face. "What is Ebonroot?"

Tilling for 2.5 hours when you had the vision to write a fairy tale --- no wait, that was Badcat --- your vision was to sell your tiller, and get a modern attachment for your JD so that next year you could join modern farming practices with no till planting of your seeds.

Great Lewi story!

The defense has a nice bounce-back effort and hold Green Bay to 19 in an admirable effort, but alas, it's not enough as Micah Parsons and crew make the game a living hell for Aaron, as Rodgers plays under constant harrassment and takes multiple sacks and near-endless pressures all game, not a night to remember for the o-line. Steelers get the ball late with a chance to win, they just have to get into range for Boz, but Rodgers is sacked for a massive loss of yards on 3rd down with time running down. On 4th down and forever, they dont convert, Pack take over on downs, victory formation, and we have ourselves a good ol' fashioned bickering session here on SN Forum

Warren: 10 rushes for 36 yds (Gainewell will get more attempts in this one)

Jonnu Smith: 3 catches on 5 targets for 33 yards, 0 TD

3¾ hours a'grinnin' and a'tillin'!

After a mini-bye, Shades and Austin have the Steelers in playoff form until Sod's law intervenes and Boz loses his footing in the final minute. After the game, much to Danny Smith's delight, the Acrisure stadium grounds crew are traded to the Titans for a pack of bubble gum.

Why does the stadium always have a very poor playing surface. Other stadiums seem better.

I remember when Hines field proved difficult for kickers. Not anymore. What happened?

The stadium used to be more wide open and I thought the wind would at times cause havoc mainly on the river/city side. The turf also used to be constantly in bad shape.

Maybe the D will wake up but I'm not holding my breath for that day, bro. Who knows maybe they'll unleash hell for the home crowd. Thinking I might make chili for this game.
 
Beans? No beans? Go on record here!
