PIT v WFT Pregame Thread

Nothing would satisfy me more than putting Big Ben on his ass most the game. Pressure him all game

Actually, watching the Baltimore Pittsburg Wednesday game, one thing I was surprised by is how Big Ben looked really rattled at times, he didn't look nearly as confortable as I remember him looking under pressure... If our D plays a full 60 minutes game and our DL produces real pressure, I don't think he's the QB to make crazy throws with 2 guys wrapped around him anymore...

But how legitimate are they going to still be without Bud Dupree?

Good question, I think they still have a solid D, and a solid front. But we're definitely playing them banged up, Roethlisberger is questionnable (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/12/05/steelers-list-ben-roethlisberger-as-questionable-for-monday/) with a knee injury.

I don't care. They scored 34 points. My guess is he stayed within the game plan, and if you beat a team (I don't care who) 41 - 16, and you don't have to throw the ball down the field to do that...Good...

It would be great if the running game can lead us to another win vs Pittsburgh and Smith isn’t pressured to make plays. I don’t see that happening and the Dallas performance by Smith will not be acceptable to get the W this coming week.

We're gonna lose if we go one-dimensional and Smith has to carry this offense. At the same time, it's gonna be tough running the ball because the Steelers have a great D that already makes it hard to run against. So Smith is gonna have to step up to some degree anyway.

I wish there wasn't so much talk about an upset. Hard to be a trap when everyone seems to be expecting it.


I think once a team gets to so many wins and hasn’t lost, every week there is talk about an upset because going undefeated is so incredibly hard. I doubt Rivera et al care one bit about any of that. We will need to play our best game of the year to have a chance. And we will need to win the turnover battle first and foremost. Pitt thrives on turnovers, having generated more than any other team, and we need to flip that script.

I hate you COVID. We should be playing in 16 minutes. Now I have to record the game and turn my phone off.

I need someone to fill in for me in the gameday thread with excessive cussing and anger. Thanks in advance.

Me too but I doubt it. Ben has been running the Tom Brady special this year with quick short and intermediate routes before pass rush can get to him. Going to be an interesting game.

Nah. Cashing out my sick time and time off on my next check. I'll just turn my phone off. I can go 1 week without using gameday thread.
