Game Day! (Official Steelers - Patriots* Gameday Thread)

It's like Christmas, friends!

We've been waiting an eternity and it's finally here (except now we have to wait all day for Sunday night).

It's 7 am where I live and I'm about to get the white chicken chili in the Crock-Pot, do some yard work, watch the Browns and Lions while hosting a tailgate party.  What are your plans for the day?

I'm more excited today than I have been in a long time and that's because this team is drama free. I know I've said it multiple times but it's just so refreshing to know those men in black and gold want to be there.

I plan on throwing a ton of food on the grill. Most days I wish time would go by a little slower except today I'd like to fast forward. This game feels like it has playoff implications. First game right. PLAYOFFS,PLAYOFFS. You wanna talk playoffs? By the time this game starts tonight I'll be like a 6 yr old that just ate a bag of sugar.

Went ahead and just made this the official gameday thread.

Can't wait for Steelers football, and I honestly hope we go into New England and straight up whoop their asses. This team should be more motivated than ever to punch those scumbags in the mouth.

I want to see Brady running for his life. Then I want to see Ben spread the wealth.

Scottish Steeler checking in from sunny Tenerife. Just shalieve . Go Steelers ..

I'm not worried at all...

If on the first drive they either:
A. Hold the Patriots* to no points or
B. Score points

I might get a little emotional from excitement.

Good to see you on here buddy! Let's kick some Patriot ass!

3 and Out that's what I like to see.

Let's see what this offense can do.

Wish I could use the quote function on mobile.
A W tonight would have extra meaning. No mention yet of snake #84

Don't you just love opening day! Here we go!

LOL completely hooks Johnny Holton's arm, no flag. Big surprise there.

Great playcalling. 3rd and 6th and a bomb to a rookie WR.

I'm glad were back to Ben bombing it downfield on 3rd downs again.

Ben took the one on one matchup and Holton is a speedster. He's not a rookie either.

PI should've been called on that play.

They're not gonna call anything on the Patriots* so we have to beat them and the officials.

I thought he was a rookie. He is still a fringe practice squad player, and not the one I would send deep for that play.

It was a one on one, but why not just take a short pass, get the 1st, and keep the drive going.

Disagree on the PI. The Patriots* player did not make contact with Holton until after the ball was on the ground. It was a great play by the CB.

What a damn joke. Fuck these Patriots*.

This is gonna be a long night.

Straight garbage. Horrible defense, blown coverage. Chickillo is for some reason playing...

Run run flag pass for 2 yards... here comes 3rd and 15 and a sack....

Damn this defense looks familiar.

These offensive penalties will kill us.

No pressure on Brady and their RBs are averaging about 5 ypc. What else can we wrong?
I got it. On this next drive let's go backwards.

Also, I spoke too soon. What a little bitch AB is. Did you see his little art pictures? Such a narcissist.


This team needs to wake the hell up.

This team is looks like crap. Tackling is poor, already having blown coverages. Offense is 2 yard passes, and running plays.

Chickillo somehow gets playing time. I swear that dude must have a Rooney sex tape or something that he's blackmailing them with.
