Seems like the Steelers always play like shit vs the Raiders and the Raiders are a middle of the pack team this year opposed to usually being a bottom dweller.

Roethlisberger is 1-4 against the Raiders. Against the Bengals he looked to me like he came back maybe 2 weeks too soon. Bell being out Ben needs to be good.

Have to get pressure on Carr.

Hoping for a win but also see this as a game that I should probably not watch.

Steelers 24
Raiders 23

Can't imagine Steelers lose two home games in a row. Pittsburgh by a touchdown. 63-56.

Hoping the fact the Raiders don't completely suck this year means the Steelers actually show up to play them for once.

Would take the 7 point win but prefer a football game

Fuck this already. 3 dropped passes? 2 right in the numbers and not thrown hard? Get Heyward Bay off this team and put Coates in.

Haley special.....easy 1st down via good/unpredictable plays....followed by obvious run on 1st down for 1 or fewer yards and then on 3rd and 3-6 throw a 40 yard pass that I cannot remember the last time it worked. 4x a game...every game.

Fucking throw to Heath for 8 and move the chains

Get the fucking ball to AB

Did enjoy Jacoby Jones losing 8 yards on the punt return...way better than pro bowler Brown returning

Brown and Miller !!!!

This is what I get for saying how bad the Browns receivers were.

2nd and 1 WITH momentum and need a timeout for Haley

Heyward-Bey, Wheaton...not so much.

Bryant is a good deep threat but sub par in most other aspects.

Why is Jones doing punt returns???? Brown is one of the best and most reliable but Jones has a return of -8 and doesn't catch the next one on the 9 and Raiders recover on the 2

Let Brown do as much as possible for the best chance to win

Like what? Route running? Hands? Run after the catch? He's great at all of them.

And a 36 yard punt....my Huber comments biting my ass now

But this is on Jones pinning us on the 1 for not fair catching

Not thinking he has very good hands and not a good short route guy

But I'll be quite happy if he goes on to make me look like a dumbass

"That's a tougher catch than you might think"

That was actually said.

Breakdowns in coverage mean 2 guys get confused and the #3 receiver or #2 TE are left open.....not the stud #1 receiver

This team

Stubborn ass. Let's run right at them when they know it...,.it'll sometimes work!!!!

Fake it on 3rd and 1 and the big white guy can catch it in the end zone.....maybe even a lineman

I hope they go for it and don't get it and then they won't mess with it the rest of the game.
