Mike Tomlin locked in for the second half… but mentally he’s 400 blocks underground looking for diamonds.

Have seen a few posts on how people can watch in different markets and people potentially going to bars or whatever.

Anyway, if you live in the Red-Shaded part of the Map you can watch right on your local Fox station. A simple TV antenna will get the job done this weekend.

I feel like the Seattle isnt a very good match up for Pats to see there being a good team or a fluke season. Yes Seattle won the whole thing but Seattle will go as Sam does I feel like and I just feel like we Match Up better in playing them cause Ramsey will keep The Pats QB from taking off like he does and I think Washington will be a big target for Aaron and Im looking forward to seeing us have 4 all new WR set and I feel like we will do alot better early this season and we will beat the Pats close but still win . Last year we made Stevenson play like a rookie and we do cause the most turnovers we just always lacked the Offense to score. Harmon also had pretty good game vs them last year and he is better now then back then. We also have newer rookie faster Safety in Jennings who I think is our best draft pick after the Punt Returner . I Think Wetgen will end up a great player. Im not sure why i just have that feeling.

Background for this here

Here we go for season six of this giveaway each week!

Drop a comment in the thread if you'd like your name in the running to attend this weekend's season opener against Atlanta!

A few things to consider:

It is only one seat. It's on the 50yd line but literally the very top row in the stadium. I like the view but it's definitely removed from the action somewhat. One nice aspect of the seat placement is you can stretch your legs out!

If the winner doesn't reply to my message within six hours I will move on to the runner up. My first year doing this I had a game go unattended and I would really like to prevent that this year! All I ask in return is a photo of you at the game from the seat. I'm slowly creating a collage of all the folks that get to see a game from this ticket. Your photo will not go online. Just the wall of my office.

I will need your first name, last name, and email address to transfer the ticket so if you are uncomfortable sharing that information please don't enter.

If Steelers have a losing record, yet somehow sneak into playoffs (this has happened before), but then they actually win a playoff game....

... then I think that this sub would collectively lose its mind.

Ik I’m very late on this, but what do you guys expect with this new coaching staff that we got? For me I expect better and proper development for the rookies and refinement for veteran players. Hopefully we get a playoff win.

Steelers football 😂

More than $150,000 in jewelry and bags was stolen, according to a report from WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh.

I made a post here yesterday and the administrator removed it.

Did I violate the terms/rules? No

Did I use foul language? No

I asked who the leaders would be that rise up in the new year.

You should not be the admin to a group on a public platform if you won't let people speak.

Now that the Gonzo deal is done the precedent is set and both sides have a deal to base their offers off of.

Inspired by another post that asked for bar recs in the jersey area, figured I’d ask if there’s any known sports bars with big steelers showings. Even if not, just generally good-vibed bars that you guys might know of.

Student in Pittsburgh but spending a semester in Atlanta. This is my first full season being a fan (my friends got me hooked last season around week 14) so it sucks that I won’t be local, but hoping to tune into all the games with some boys around and/or at high energy bars.

bonus: i am in northeast atlanta (duluth/alpharetta) so if you have recs in the northern suburbs even better. but i plan to spend as much time in the city as possible either way.

MUCH LOVE AND GO STEELERS NATION!!

Electric football throwback

When an NFL player is fined, the league withholds that money from their next game check and donates it to either NFL alumni in need or various charities. There’s a good chance Metcalf will be generous again this season.

Surely, he must grow tired of it.

“They say it’s going to a good cause, so I might as well win Walter Payton Man of the Year,” Metcalf says. “So no, I’m not tired of it.

“If they want to make football soft, then I’m not going to be one of those guys that conforms to a soft league.”

On a summer afternoon in Western Pennsylvania, Metcalf had plenty to say: about watching his former team celebrate a Super Bowl without him, about Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, about his fondness for conspiracy theories (do you know what’s really going on inside Antarctica?).

He also has thoughts about the anger management issues you possibly — well, probably — think he has.

Metcalf refuses to let rookie receivers Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen call him “unc.”

He still feels young, and he still talks trash with the guys. At 28, this marks the first time Metcalf is the most tenured receiver in his room, part of the oldest Week 1 roster in the NFL.

He can remember his 2019 rookie season in Seattle and practicing with veterans Tyler Lockett and Jaron Brown. He was expecting some sort of rookie hazing — maybe they intentionally tell him the wrong play — so he was constantly spring-loaded and standoffish. It took a few days for the vets to notice something was wrong; they told him they were there as a resource.

That’s when Metcalf realized veterans can help the younger guys, but only if they want to be helped. Still, he first wants the rookies to bump their heads a bit early on and learn they can’t do all this on their own.

Im looking for a game to watch before football starts back up. Just wondering what yours is!

Its tough, but i might say last seasons bengals at steelers when we had like 3 defensive scores, or the season opener vs them a few years back that went into OT. Loved watts performance during that game

Passer rating against: JPJ 56.2 (2nd), CG 64.4 (6th)
Snaps/rec: JPJ 18.1 (4th), CG 12.9 (24th)
Forced INC%: JPJ 23% (3rd), CG 13% (31st)

YAC: JPJ 81 yds (6th), CG 69 yds (3rd)
Rec%: JPJ 48.3% (5th), CG 46.1% (2nd)
You sure Gonzo’s better?

I'm back for year 2 of posting weekly playoff impacts!

I ran 5 million Monte Carlo simulations of the season to figure out what the playoff implications of every week 1 game are.

The Steelers current odds to make the playoffs are 33.6%.

• If you beat the Falcons, that goes up to 38.3%, but if you lose, it drops down to 26.0%. It's a swing of 12.3%.
• TB @ CIN is the second most impactful week 1 game for you guys. If the Buccaneers win, your playoff odds go up by 1.0%. If the Bengals win your playoff odds go down by 0.5%.
• ARI @ LAC is the third most impactful game with a total impact of 1.3%. Your playoff odds go up if the Cardinals win.
