    Not unlike some of the knuckleheads here no doubt. We need to fire Haley, Tomlin and Colbert needs to go. He has no idea how to pick out good talent. Bens done. Put Landry or Dobbs in, especially in goal line situations where we struggle.

    That was earlier in the year. That team is not even in the building anymore. Entirely different looking team now.

    I believe Aaron Jones is injured and expected to miss the game. In addition to the lack of Rodgers, the Packers are also likely to be without their top two running backs.

    They do have some outstanding receivers if Hundley can get them the ball, which could be tough on a secondary missing Haden and possibly Mitchell, but the Steelers need to take care of business in games like this.

    My biggest concern is the offense going backward with Gilbert suspended and Smith-Schuster injured. For those that didn't notice, JuJu didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday with that "small" hamstring problem.

    Losing to GB would be an epic failure. I dont normally say things like that but GB is minus a QB and both RB's, Jones and Montgomery.

    No JuJu hurts but doesnt cripple us, they hung 40 on the Titans with little contribution from him, probably was dealing with the hamstring in that game, I kept wondering where he was.

    AB, Bell and Ben should be enough but hopefully get a little from James and Bryant too.

    Defense should shut down anything GB throws their way.

    JuJu out. Now, it's a must, that we get something from Bryant.

    The other option is another 33 carry day for Bell.

    Not confident at all: Must come to play. A traditional trap game.

    Thanks for the update, I didn't look into the injury report recently. Defense should be able to focus on the WRs more, like you said, Cobb and Nelson are a tough duo.

    I liked Dean Lowry from Northwestern as well, I believe he is starting on their d-line. But that Daniels guy is a force.

    Clay Matthews missed practice Weds and Thurs and is questionable-game time decision.

    Jamaal Williams will start at RB

    We should be able to feel confident about every remaining game on the schedule (minus one).

    These are the games that good teams win going away. These are the games that NE cruises through and simply takes care of business.

    This is also the time of year that we start looking like the team we really are. If we struggle the next few weeks (even with wins), we're going to have a disappointing finish to this season. If we start playing consistently solid football, however, then we'll establish ourselves as contenders.

    I'm not concerned about the Pack. I'm concerned about the flat Steeler team that is lingering in the tunnel, prepared to hijack an otherwise easily winnable game.

    If we win the turnover battle, we win the game.

    If you are going with the multiple personality theory, let’s hope there are only 2 and not 3 or 4.

    This is Eli Rodgers chance to show the form he had last year. With JuJu out, he won’t be splitting reps with MB.

    247 sports:

    According to Steelers PR manager Dom Rinelli, the team has won six straight games on Sunday Night Football. Their average margin of victory in those games? Over 20 points, as the cumulative score was a ridiculous 225-103.

    Last season, the Steelers dispatched the Kansas City Chiefs resoundingly with a final score of 43-14. A year earlier, they laid a 45-10 smackdown on the Indianapolis Colts. The 2014 season featured a 43-23 decimation of the rival Baltimore Ravens, and the team hasn't lost in that situation since the 2013 season.

    The Rats just beat them 23-0, that's all the confidence I need.

    I think Bryant has a breakout game vs the Packers, he goes over 100yds receiving and 1 long TD catch.

    If Green bay can roll a donut playing the Rats in Lambeau then the Steelers at Heinz in primetime should just play their backups. Let Lolandry & Dobbs rub it out and i'd still have confidence in a Pittsburgh win. Green bay away from L.F. and crippled...Shredded cheese anyone?

    Confidence is not something I have when a Pittsburgh team plays. Always to nervous. I would say the two most confident teams in the NFL are the Patriots and Eagles. They win and win big. Cruising social media I'd say 80% of NFL fans are convinced it's going to be a Patriot/Eagle SB so when the Vikings have home field advantage against the STEELERS in the SB I'll tell them to suck it.

    A game that sticks in my craw and still bothers me to this day is a tie we had with the Atlanta Falcons when Vick was their QB. They had 4th and long and by long I mean 15+ yards 3 times in the 4th quarter and Vick made it. I was watching with about 15 Steelers fans and I bet the F word was said at least 200 times.

    Tomlin/Ben crazy good record in primetime games at home. I believe they are nearly undefeated.
