Week 1 Preseason Chatter Thread - 8/8/13

Are they gonna cut away from this Eagles game to show our game?

I hope so, because there's no way it ends in 25 min.

It's not likely.

At least not for anyone outside of the viewing area. So, you might be okay.

They said during the half that they would cut to the start of the dallas game.

Nice.

They lie. Tebow will still be in.

Watch punk. T minus 3 mins.

 

[boozeman]

This sucks...I wanted to see Bell play for the Steelers.

 

[boozeman]

Steelers are really hurting at TE. I'd give them Escobar for a third. Fire sale style.

 

[boozeman]

If the Giants march out these three starting linebackers against us, there is no excuse not to just kill them.

They treat linebacker like we do safety...they just think they can put anyone out there and be okay.

 

[Texas Ace]

None if the rosters in the division are great.

They all have shiny objects here and there, but nobody is solid all around. They are all fundamentally flawed in one way or another.

 

[boozeman]

Ramon Foster looks to be the Steelers' Bernadeau. There was no excuse why Cullen Jenkins should have got to Roethlisberger that quick.

 

[boozeman]

Fuck. Giants just blocked a punt. Demontre Moore. They got that dummy to contribute immediately.

 

[boozeman]

Stephens-Howling was a great signing for the Steelers. I think they will be back this year, as much as it pains me to say it.

 

[P_T]

Owwwwww

 

[Bob Roberts]

I'm thinking this Gilbreath guy will be cut on the sidelines

I don't think they'll be much improved.

I do think they could make the playoffs simply because I don't think that division will be all that good, but on paper, the Steelers look like an 8 or 9 win team to me.

Their organizational vision and identity gives them an edge.

To me, they are a lot like the Landry teams in the mid-1980s. They did not look good on paper, but they had that edge that made things easier.

2 perfect comments I read that make me feel better about never taking the guy:

@celebrityhottub: Landry Jones begins his NFL career with a bumble-safety because some laws of the universe are immutable. Never change, Landry Jones. Always be that shiny new bicycle with the chain that keeps slipping.

 

[boozeman]

Moore was very good last night on defense as well. Guess he wasn't quick twitch enough for us either. But we got Escobar. Definitely got Escobar.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Floyd looked pretty good as well.

 

[Cotton]

Andrew Luck could have gotten killed there.
