OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 5 and 2 Justin who? Hand the Fields to Wilson

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Agnew a hedge against Austin being out?

 

[OnMyOwn]

He was really good as recently as a couple seasons ago. So worth a gamble I guess.

Whoa there...let's pump the brakes and do some deeper digging about this post.

The supposition is that these teams are up there due to "culture change". I mean that proposition is shaky at best. But let's play along for a moment.

Harbaugh - just got there
Campbell - he's been there what 3 seasons?
Tomlin- he's been here 18 years.

One of these things isn't like the other. Where is the chart when the Steelers sucked in these categories, a few seasons ago. Was that "Culture" too?

It's just a haphazard analysis and that's being generous to this poster

Like any conclusions and analytics, they depend on the data entered.

There certainly are data points that can support the idea. The eye test and individual examples like Antonio Brown, etc. come to mind immediately.

But yes, unless you know what data they are inputting, you have no idea how to judge the chart.

when is Herbig coming back?

when is Herbig coming back?

 

[ImporterExporter]

Herbig/Smith is a hellova lot better than Moon playing any sort of significant amount. Khan grabbing Preston Smith was a very underrated move.

If our OL can continue to gel, this team has a shot to actually win a playoff game.

Off Topic, but I missed the Pens' game last night.

How did they look?

Hayward with the Hulk Hogan.

McCormick dancing like a giant nut.

Khan grabbing Smith is THE move for him in his tenure, I think, and from the looks of it, he may have made his two best moves on the same day. It comes down to this offensive line and I believe in that group. This team is good.

 

[pistolpete11]

Highsmith and Herbig both being out at points this year might have been a blessing in disguise. This defense is so reliant on the OLB creating pressure, so seeing what it was like without them might have driven that point home to Khan.

I thought it was funny. They fought hard and came through in the end for a big win. Nothing wrong with having some fun in the moment.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

I wish these guys would just shut up and focus on their own team.

McDaniel ignores ex-player calling Dolphins 'soft'

Mike McDaniel said he's not concerned with former Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott calling last year's team "soft," adding "I just worry about this year's team."

[TooManyHumans]

He made that comment in connection with talking about the Steelers. I have seen no signs that Elliott is not focused on his job.

 

[JTG]

Elliot has been one of the best free agent pick ups we have had in a really, really long time. The dude has been incredible.

Fun tidbit going into this game from a Ringer article:
"When the Ravens and Steelers have matched up in the Harbaugh and Tomlin era, the underdogs of at least 3 points have been 18-2-3 against the spread."

Steelers are 3-point 'dogs at home.

lol wat? i like both trades but they dont top trading Claypool for pick 32 or the RW/KP/JF trades

I'm talking roster tweak in an effort to make the team better.

I guess trading Claypool did that also though.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Will the Steelers stupidly run the ball to start or will they come out throwing (attacking Balt's weakness)?

Ravens are a 1st half team that tends to crater in the 2nd half. Steelers are a slow starting team that has been dominant in the 2nd half.

That’s just a fancy way of saying these games are always close and the spreads reflect that.

It's honestly a pretty remarkable rivalry. Tomlin and Harbaugh have faced each other 35 times which is a modern SB era record. 28 of those have been one score games. We've won 7 of the last 8 match ups for Tomlin to improve to 20-15 against Harbaugh.
