Steelers Tied for First Place

[Legacy User]

Coates played really well on Teams. He stood out in a good way.

Coates tackles better than our starting secondary.

the Steelers have the 4th best odds to win the super bowl right now at 14/1 (2nd in the AFC). Colts are 4th in the AFC at 18/1.

Pats are almost even money at 7/5

I have no real idea what to expect of the PS going forward. None. They need to win Thursday that will be a step in the right direction. I cannot get excited over a win over the Browns. BTW all this Cowboys are best team in NFL is laughable. They needed Tomlin playing nimrod on 2 point conversions to beat the Steelers. The team that imho is beginning to separate from the pack? Seahawks. Wilson is mobile again, Graham has a new lease on life, Baldwin has played damn well all season, they got a healthy D and Rawls is back.

I agree clan and a healthy Lockett ta boot. Skins and G Men are improving as well. AFC is a crap shoot, but Raiders and Chargers (if they don't have any more injuries) look dangerous to me.

Honestly, some of you guys don't deserve to be fans of and NFL team.

A. the game was never, ever in doubt
B. The QB played very well
C. the defense played incredibly well
D. the team took a big step today

+1

Now we bedwet when we win.

Who made you two guys the final arbiters of what makes a Steeler or NFL team fan?

My case, it's due to a lifetime of Vinnie's Pizza & Battleships....can't speak for B2B.

Broken fingers so he played on ST but not as a WR Intresting

I don't understand that this guy continues to be active, yet has 2 broken fingers, yet I never hear about his 2 broken fingers ever healing?

This has been a bizarre year wow.

The QB played well? Who are we talking about McCown?

Ben might be my favorite athlete EVER.....EVER.....yet I thought Ben was average at best.

Looked like he didn't even want to be out their out times, actually. I watched plenty of "windy" games yesterday too...Cousins was slinging it all over and played light years better than Ben.

[bradshaw2ben]

Okay, as I always say to anyone who thinks Ben was mediocre or bad: tell me which throws you think were bad and why.

[bradshaw2ben]

By the way, did you see the Patriots and Tom Brady? They played like dogshit yesterday and, if the 69ers hadn't been so determined to flame out in the 4th quarter, they easily could have lost that game (against a team that is pretty much just as bad as Cleveland).

How many playoff games has this 24 yr old missed due to injury???

Also The defense just lost arguably its best player to injury in part because Tomlin never took him off the field

and did last year's injury happen after Tomlin ran him into the ground all game, or by happenstance on a tackle in the first half?

i get that you're increasing the odds by keeping him in there, and you'd have a point if we had continued pounding the ball with the game in the bag, but Bell only ran three times in the 4th quarter, man

speaking of Coates, how long does a finger take to heal anyway?

I did watch some of that game. One of the rare times I have rooted for the Pats because they were playing against that piece of shit Kaepernick. Yep not their best effort but they eventually pasted the Whiners. To be honest I am not downplaying our victory in Cleveland. It's a good start against a division rival in bad weather. Need to keep it up!

“It’s the fact he’s got two broken fingers on one hand,” said Tomlin about Coates' absence from the offense lately. “It doesn’t limit him from a special teams standpoint, as you can reference his three special teams tackles (vs. the Browns), but it does make it increasingly difficult to catch the football. He’s healthy enough to play, he just can’t catch the ball as cleanly with two broken fingers.” http://www.steelers.com/news/press-conf ... 1d029b282b

Could be several weeks. Especially challenging for an NFL WR. Explains Coates' drops problem.

Fuck me we have been very unlucky with injuries.

And fuck martavius bryant.
