Steelers vs. Saints

#Saints Cam Jordan is not buying the idea that #Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is a future Hall of Famer. Apparently, he's not even one of the Top 5 QB of his era - "I’d honestly put Eli before I put Ben" #PITvsNO #HereWeGo https://t.co/eUxl5N3Nxs pic.twitter.com/uoBdAEu4jN

Well, that should motivate some Steelers

Opinions are like assholes everyone has one and a lot of assholes have opinions so take it for what it is worth.

Gerry Dulac picking the Steelers. A win here would really turn the feel of the season around.


Steelers (8-5-1) at New Orleans Saints (12-2), 4:25 p.m. – The Saints have the best record in the NFC and are in control of the No. 1 seed. In the past four games at home, they’re averaging 41.2 points. Can the Steelers make it a clean sweep of the NFC South? Prediction: Steelers, 26-20

Cam Jordan is just as dumb as Jalen Ramsey. Eli won two Super Bowls, but has never been as prolific as Ben. Has Ben ever been benched? I like Eli, don't get me wrong but I'd take Ben over Eli any day of the week.

Cam Jordon is a HOF ASSHOLE! I hope we bring our A game and light them up like Christmas Eve.

Thanks for the motivation speech Cam! It will still be a tough game though. Saints at home are a completely different team than on the road like the last 3 games. The numbers of putting up more than 40 points a game in their last 4 home games don't lie. Like I said in another topic a lot will depend on the outcome of the Chargers Ravens game Saturday. Steelers will be firing on all cylinders if Ravens should win, but they might come out flat when Chargers win thinking they've clinched the play-offs.

I think you're right Stella but I'm hoping this team bucks tradition and starts taking every game as serious as a heart attack.

I'm hoping those comments motivate Ben to have
THE
BEST
GAME
OF
HIS
CAREER

JuJu left practice yesterday with a groin injury. Hopefully he will be ok. That is a huge blow to our offense.

Yeah we're gonna need him.

Article here. I'm really concerned about these statements. It seems they are not treating this as a serious game.

If the Ravens win, the Steelers are back in a playoff mentality, an almost must-win situation. In that event, Smith-Schuster could try to play through the injury or be a decoy if he’s not 100 percent. But if the Chargers win, the Steelers could decide to rest him because all they’d have to do is win the regular-season finale against the Bengals in Week 17.

Wait and see my ass. Go into N.O. like it's your last fuckin' hope damn it. If they don't have that mentality even if they get in they'll be one and done.

Steelers lose it'll be 17 - 0 before they get funk dream out of their heads.

no I think the Steelers beat up on Bress win on last minute field goal by Boz dang it Boz pushed to the right.

Steelers win with the last offensive possition of the game.

For what it’s worth, JuJu said he is playing.

Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster says he'll play vs. Saints

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, in a Twitter post directed at fantasy football team owners, reaffirmed "the real ones who believed in me" that he will play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster, who has been listed as questionable for the game with a groin injury, did not participate in Friday's practice session after limited participation Thursday.

Ravens beat the Chargers, so this game means a lot now.

That Browns tie might bite us in the ass.

I'd sooner Chargers won tonight but in the end Steelers are forced to go take it and not worry about a rats loss to get them in.

Yeah, and the Oakland game.....even if Steelers do lose to Saints Browns always could beat ravens again next week but I'd sooner they pull the second upset of the weekend in NO tomorrow.

Yeah basically, have to win the last two. I don't think 9-6-1 makes the playoffs.

Why does everything have to come down to the wire with us? We put ourselves in these shitty situations by losing to the likes of the Raiders.
Right now it sure looks like the Ravens want it more than we do!

That whole 3 game stretch bit us in the ass. We should've beat the Broncos, but didn't. We had the Chargers, but they had tons of help from the refs and we couldn't put them away. Then we played horrible against the Raiders and lost to them.

We put ourselves in this position and if we miss the playoffs because of it, there better be some Come To Jesus meetings going on in that building.

I'm feeling the same way. If you go back the only 2 games we got beat were the Chiefs and the first Ravens game and we were in the Chiefs game.

Definitely. The game today could very well be with a 12-2 record going in and ravens sitting back there at 9-6. Hoping for another upset in NO today.....
