Game Thread: Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos

[fightinredantz]

It was great to beat the LA Chargers on the road, but another tough game coming next week when Big Ben, Antonio Brown, James Connor, and the rest of the Steelers will be in Denver next Sunday.

If this team is going to go on a roll might as well continue with the a win over the Steelers.

This was a good win ... Coming off a heart breaker vs Houston and the bye week ( which wasn;t friendly to us last season ) - the team just kept on fighting ..

If we can beat the Steelers - the next four games

- Cincinnati
- San Fran
- Cleveland
- Raiders

Those are four winnable games, and would set the table for the final game of the reg season - the rematch, at home, with the Bolts

If memory serves, Big Ben is 2-6 all time in Denver

Let's not forget that Pittsburgh for what ever reason doesn't seem to play as well in Denver.

We should say as last week We are Sooooooooooooooooooooo doomed! Denver 10 Steeler 102

 

[58crash]

Also to these coaches, we have please save your breath!

Keenum and the no-huddle with eyes in the sky won this game!

The plan sucked to win the game!

 

[58crash]

No huddle won the game and this staff has no clue

Things will certainly get interesting if Denver can find a way to beat Pitts.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Von Miller has 10 sacks
Bradley Chubb has 9 sacks

Next highest sack total on our team is Shaq Barrett 2 - 1.5 Zach Kerr and Derek Wolfe.

Adam Gotsis is playing the run extremely well.

Shaq Barrett isn't have his best of seasons for a contract year. Isn't getting the pressure like he did in past years.

Thank god we drafted Bradley Chubb at #5.

the steelers will play like crap for 2 and a half quarters, spot you a 16 pt lead and then come back and win in the final seconds ....

Should be a bad game then, since the Broncos like to play bad for 3 quarters. Maybe it will be tied 0-0 going into the fourth quarter?

 

[Draft Crazy]

Not sure I agree with that.

The Steelers have had a few games recently where they blew teams out of the water from beginning to end... Most notably the Carolina Panthers.

The Steelers are pretty hot right now but so are the Texans and Chargers and the Broncos played them both really well. Plus the Broncos always seem to play well against the Steelers at home. A win will definitely make the conversation surrounding this team a little interesting because they’ll be in the outer fringes of the playoff bubble even at 5-6. A win won’t be easy though. I’m really looking forward to seeing if they can keep an outside chance at a decent season alive this week and definitely not counting them out.

All my fantasy football - seeds of season destruction - can be associated with players in this game (or in IR - or, in declined to report status). I will be forced to watch my slow motion blunders as a Karmic lesson of overwhelming soulful significance. I'll keep everyone posted - in the hopes I can save you from a similar fate.

As much flack as people give our offense.

We're #11 in total offense
#21 in total Defense.
