OT: The PittsburghER Thread: Steelers Win AFC North | Go Oregon Ducks!

[Coastal Kev]

Okay lol. Whether they get blown out, or lose by 1, they'd still lose. So that's irrelevant.

Nice try to prove me wrong though?

My point is you state that they will be blown out like it is a certain fact. It's not, just your opinion. You may be right, but I think you will you will be wrong.

Ahh okay. Well we will see. I certainly hope they won't be.

Man some of you guys are talking about NE and Denver, i'd just be happy to make it to Denver and NE, the first game is going to be tough no matter who they play.

I'd prefer to play Cincy and i wouldn't care if it was home or away, Cincy can't win a playoff game to save there lives.

Which is why I'm scared to play them...they have to be due right?

Cam Heyward is quickly become one of my favorite players. Emerging as a superstar. Just solid every play.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

We'd have to beat them 3 times if we win the division and play them in the playoffs or beat them twice on their home field if we lose the division title game next week and play them in Cincy somehow. It's hard to beat any decent team 3 times in one year and 4 straight if you go back to last years late season win against the Bengals. It's been done but it's not easy.

Yeah, I love Heyward. He's worked out a lot better than Hood. Looks like we have solidified the DE spot for a long time with him and Tuitt. Hopefully McCullers can develop at some point and lock down the nose. We'll be set at D-Line for years if that happens.

Need Denver to win tonight. 3 seed is ours if Denver defeats the Bungholes and we beat them next Sunday.

Calling it now. Steelers upset the Pats in the playoffs. Rothlisberger finally gets that monkey off his back and closes the loop on the biggest thing lacking in his HOF career.

We beat Cincy next week, the 3rd seed is ours regardless of the outcome tonight.

I would love nothing more!

 

[Shockmaster]

Well, Peyton Manning did say he was treating the game against the Bengals as a playoff game. That explains the 4 INTs.

 

[lastcupever75]

If Cinci wins next week... there is a high percentage we go in and play them again, right?

This has been one weird inconsistent year, but who cares? We are dancin' in the playoffs and that gives us a small chance.

just read if we
lose - we play at Indy (provided denver wins their last game vs oakland)

win and its either the chargers, ravens, chiefs texans

On this one site I'm on there is this Steeler fan who thinks he's overrated.

Heyward keeps getting better and better too.

Denver beat Indy back in Week 1. Denver cannot be lower than the #3 seed.

Looking very likely Narduzzi will be named new Pitt HC. Seems like he wants the Pitt job over the CSU job. Not at all surprising since he's from nearby Youngstown Ohio and is way more familiar with recruiting the north east than he is with Colorado.

Reported on KDKA-TV tonight.. source telling me.. barring any unforeseen snags Pat Narduzzi could be introduced in next couple days

Y sources: Mike Bobo to CSU now a done deal, will be introduced at news conference Tuesday. Narduzzi said no thanks to pursue Pittsburgh.

Bow down to your Fantasy Football champion!

I was losing by 0.08 pts in the 4th quarter but luckily Peyton threw some picks to lose some points.

 

[Captain Hook]

Also, LeVeon Bell named Steelers team MVP.

 

[Shockmaster]

So in regards to Pitt, the football coach is coming in before the new AD?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

You can't really wait in college football for recruiting purposes...that and if Pitt doesn't act then Narduzzi likely goes to Colorado State.

The turn-around always feels absurdly quick. Montana named their new coach less than two weeks after the end of their season.

 

[wheelz87]

Pretty happy about Narduzzi tbh. Our defense is such a mess and has been just awful for so many years. Our group of backers just plain suck and our secondary hasn't actually looked back for the ball in about a decade. If anyone can fix that 'Duzzi seems to be the guy. Get a good OC to utilize Conner and Boyd and we could be half decent next year! Maybe even reach 7 wins!!

 

[Solution]

If/when Narduzzi becomes Pitt's head coach, does anybody have any ideas as to who he would hire as assistants? I know that there are two candidates on the Michigan State staff to become his replacement so I figure whoever does not get the Michigan State defensive coordinator job will follow Narduzzi to Pitt. I also figure that Narduzzi being a defensive guy would prefer to have a power offense. Any chance he retains Rudolph? Some continuity on offense might help.

I'm not sure I like ANY associate to the Raiders coming to Pitt. A QB coach to be the new OC? Has he ever held that position before?

Not liking that one if its true.

 

[Solution]

Thank you. Brad Salem looks promising, but if Narduzzi has his choice of coaching candidates that is even better. When was the last time a Pitt head coach had his choice of assistant coaches?
