Steelers on Thanksgiving!!!!!

I just read in my morning sports paper that Luck went into concussion protocol after sundays game, Scott Tolzien will be the starter since it's unlikely luck will be cleared to play thursday....

 

you're kidding Right?,

 

nah bro...

 

liar liar
pants on fire

you stuff your turkey

 

fine... i do... stuffing is delicious man.


lay off!

 

lol. Yeah but even the steelers defense is a step up on the colts defense.

 

just a tad

 

let's get it to top 10 by the end of the year please. Hell if we are 32nd and win a SB then i'll care less if we give up 40 pts a game.

 

I can't remember the Steelers ever winning on Thanksgiving- have they?

 

I live in Indiana just an hour and a half away from Indianapolis.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda gone to the game but it was piss poor planning on my part.

I'd say it's not too late but the wife already made plans for us to host some friends for Turkey day.

Wonder if anyone would notice if I just don't show up?

 

I know they lost a won coin toss.

 

I Will never forget the infamous coin toss on thanksgiving day 1998:

NFL referee Phil Luckett had one of the more embarrassing Thanksgiving NFL moments, as he audibly mistakes Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis' call of 'tails' on the overtime coin flip which would've been right. The Lions instead got the ball and kicked a game-winning field goal 3 minutes in OT.

 

It's kind of was the highlight of the 1998,1999,2000 Steelers Seasons

 

Yeah, that game marked the beginning of that dreadful period of Steelers football. We almost certainly would have made the playoffs in 2000 if we hadn't started Kent Graham at QB and opened 0-3, though.

Also, wasn't that the season that bad calls by the refs cost us three games? Cleveland and Philly were two of them; I don't recall the third.

 

Anybody else living in their fears right now and worried about this game?

 

I'm living in my lucky underwear and socks. It's not the game that's starting to worry me.

 

I'm not sure if/when the Steelers ever played on Thanksgiving in the pre Noll era, but I do remember them playing in 1983, a year when they won the AFC central, and losing to the Lions 45-3 in one of the worst performances of the Noll era. I remember them running the ball at the end of the game just to make it end faster.

 

I'm not. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen.
I'm going to be decked out in my Steelers gear watching and cheering.
Plenty of things in life to live in fear of. The outcome of a football game isn't one of them for me.

 

I'm afraid of large animals, with teeth, that want to eat me.

That's about it.

 

So you're afraid of bengals?

 

I'm afraid of lots of things... but not of a football game you can't control

 

Not afraid, but worried. I hope the Steelers come in well prepared and play smart. But we just don't know which team will take the field.
