It's an NFL thread, there aren't enough Steelers fans for them to keep a game thread going, and there aren't enough people posting here in general anymore for it not to seem like a lot of Steelers posts on this thread.

It isn't hurting anything, you're just pissed that a mod didn't just roll over about your bitching for once.

I'll post wherever is preferred. Next week I'll start an actual game thread so the other 30 members of this site can make 3 posts about the other 5 or 6 games going on.

I made 15 posts about the Steelers/Raiders game over a 2+ hour timeframe. Little else was commented on throughout the NFL. I don't have any preference over where I post be it on here or on a pitiful Steelers thread....but I'm gonna post regardless and everyone knows this.

Me asking when this thread turned into the steelers gameday thread= bitching.

sportschammp asking the same exact thing = nothing.

LOL just stfu, you were being a petty little girl about it and you know it. You are obviously still pissy, because your boyfriend is no longer a mod. Even ironman knows i was fucking with him.

Crazy that 50 of the 53 players currently on the Packers have never played for another NFL team.......no other team has more than 40.

Didn't Kuhn get a cup of coffee shot in Pittsburgh? Not sure I knew Pickett was ever anywhere else.

I think Kuhn played a season for Pitt mostly on the practice squad and Kuhn played 3-4 years with the rams and was really good there

Fisher with a mistake to let the clock run down to 4 sec for 4th down. If they get a call for an auto first down, they'll have no time to take up to 4 plays!

Clemens throws the final short pass not even close to giving the receiver a chance to make a play on it for the game winning catch! Terrible!

It was a mistake to call the timeout with 31 seconds on 3rd and goal from the 2......plenty of time for whatever with all 3 timeouts....that timeout gave Seattle a chance to catch their breath and set up....the two 3rd and goal plays and the 4th and goal was awful and completely not how the drive the length of the field.

I agree with that, too. Get lined up and run a play quickly with the clock running.

I actually thought a penalty should've been called on the Seahawks on the 3rd down play. The Seahawks defender dove and went helmet to helmet on Richardson after the play was clearly over. Missed call by the officials.

In the spirit of the rule, it's not a penalty. However, given a lot of the other BS that's called and going by the rule "technically', it was a missed call.

I'd be upset if I was St. Louis because although it would've been maybe 3/4 of a yard, it was an automatic first down. With 2 timeouts, that would have forced the Seahawks to stop the run 3 or 4 more times. Instead, they were forced to pass.

If that was a WR going down or a QB on a run diving forward, they would've called a penalty. Yet another example of how the rules have created a near impossible task for the referees.

With that many timeouts, you gotta run the ball if you're St. Louis

You're not gonna throw a 1 yard td against Seattle in that situation, with kellen Clemons

Would not be fair, but I have SEA DST so I'll take the extra sacks.

On 3/14, #Eagles made Cary Williams the highest-paid CB in free agency. As of 10/30, Williams is 100th of 108 in @PFF's coverage ratings.


Ouch, have to be very careful in FA, especially with CBs.

Many people have no idea HOW much of an "idiot" he is.

To get suspended, for this long, you have to be in "full on retard" mode. The NFL does everything in it's power to allow these guys to smoke weed (assuming that's what he did). Don't get me wrong, the league isn't encouraging it but they are overlooking it. T

here is a teeny tiny window in which they drug test. You keep clean during that time, you can fire it up the rest of the year until testing resumes again right before OTA's, etc. If you're an idiot (see Blackmon, Gordon, etc) you partake right before this testing.

Once you're caught, all bets are off. They will test you randomly, at the leagues discretion. Don't throw up any red flags and you can pretty much hit the bong all season.
