The Pittsburgher Thread: The Bush Era Begins

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

AB's stupidity officially confirmed:

Raiders finally acknowledge that Antonio Brown froze his feet in a cryotherapy chamber

So glad that circus act is on the other side of the continent.

Vetos the Buffalo deal only to get frostbite in California.

Gross lol

 

[cookthebooks]

have early indications changed anyones mind about bushs likelihood of success? or really impossible to say until 4 or 5 games into the season?

Haden carted off from practice. This will be a crushing blow if out long term

Absolutely will derail the defense. Doesn’t sound good.

Doesn't sound bad, he was walking with a slight limp before the cart.

Where is the Matthew Thomas fan?

He was waived by the Ravens on August 1st.

Looks like Mr. Big Chest turned into Mr. Bad Foot:

Antonio Brown will see a foot specialist

More like Mr. Deeds

It still sucked seeing AB in Raiders colors on the first episode.

I can’t recall the last time I felt such little confidence about a Steelers team as I do this year.

Really? They're winning the division (if they don't with what they are currently facing it'll be a ******** joke). This will be a good regular season.

Wait for it........... But itll be one and done in typical Tomlin fashion. Mr "I'm a motivator but I can't get my team ready the first 10 min of every ********* game."

He's not stupid in the sense he knows exactly how to abuse the system. The image of him being all smiles with his frozen foot tells me he likely or may have did it on purpose so that he can sit out the majority of camp and preseason CAUSE MY GUARANTEE MONEY IS FO FREE.

If the NFL is going to survive in the long run, it needs to stop being a make it wish foundation for ghetto America.

When the biggest competition in the division are The Browns... I think we'll be ok.

9-7 and we make the playoffs.

We won't win a playoff game, but that IS the new standard. And the standard is the standard.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

So you had confidence in Tomlin last year and the year before, etc?

Weird...

Steelers just got rid of two cancers and were ranked by ESPN as the 8th best team for young talent.

As always, it’s not the talent on this team that will hold it back.

 

[DanielPlainview]

I have zero faith in Tomlin so my hopes are low. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Cleveland won the division. I will probably cry if they beat the Patriots two years in a row.

Well history shows that if there’s any time to beat the Pats it’s the first game of the season....it wouldn’t surprise me if they beat the Pats and then miss the POs again...

It’s a Tomlin coached team, how anyone feels good about their chances of having a great season is always beyond me. Tomlin is the master of doing less with more than any other coach in the league.

This is yet another extremely talented team...

- HOF QB
- One of the best WR in the game who has by all accounts looked dominant in camp
- Pro bowl RB with the best depth they have had in years IMHO
- Beast of a TE coming off a career season
- One of the best O lines in the league
- One of the best D lines in the league
- A star pass rusher in Watt
- Should finally have two quality corners
- Edmunds I feel will be a revelation this season
- They just added a top ten pick in their area of most need

This team has zero problems loading up on talent. This is as talented a roster as they have had in some time IMHO.

Imagine this talent with quality coaching...

The same issue of poor coaching remains, but the talent is as exciting as it’s ever been.

He'll miss the Steelers more than the Steelers will miss him.

It really didn't bother me at all.

Pumped for at least some live football action to begin, albeit preseason.

College wise, heard Pitt lost probably their only real notable front 7 player for the year, that’s a huge blow for them and hope the kid recovers well. They have some talented DB’s, but there’s gonna be an awful lot of pressure on those kids if their pass rush is mediocre and their offense can’t keep them off the field. I definitely don’t take for granted how stacked PSU typically is at LB/DL. Good luck to teams trying to block Micah and Yetur.

Always get pumped for preseason game 1 until it starts, then we’re reminded preseason games generally suck.

 

[Pengwins]

Tomlin is the worst thing that every happened to the Steelers

So, this looks like it'll be a fun story
