i agree the steelers look good on offense, jim. how about their defense?
Click to expand...

actually, one of the reasons why I was so happy with the 49ers win was cuz of the defense. while the 49ers aren't world beaters on D, Ryan Shazier led the Front 7 which looked dominating. the secondary is shitty, but unlike the Pats game where they looked confused and where Gronk feasted on them, the back D looked pretty good. now you don't watch the Steelers, which is fair because they are not your team, but a Philly Eagles transport and top Cornerback finally played in this game (he didn't against the Pats) in CB Boykin. he looked great. the secondary didn't set the world on fire, but they actually looked passable. and the Front 7, led by a couple draft picks years ago in Shazier and Jarvis Jones looked downright MEAN. this is a Front 7 that actually sacked Tom Brady a couple times in the home opener

for as much as you guys bally-hoo the Bills D keep in mind that the Steelers D held the Pats for less than the Bills did

I am more worried about offense. a Pats fan should know over anyone that in Roger Goodell's NFL to win a SB your team needs a great offense and at the very least a middle-of-the-pack defense

again, mark my words, when LeVeon Bell gets back this Steelers team is poised to make a decent run for the SB this year. ali, keep in mind the Pats were sliced-and-diced by our second-string RB (whom is old as shit). imagine when our best player is back in our lineup?? ... scary, ain't it?

I am as happy for Jarryd Hayne (man what's up with Aussies and their stupid spelling of common names?). it's a great international sports story. I dunno how serious VS how trolling you are with your comment on "betting" with the 49ers, but I wouldn't go that far. the 9ers are in a transition year and while they do have some nice key players, I most certainly wouldn't be wasting any of my money on betting with the team. you're my homie, and you might not be as accustomed with grid-iron football as most so I am kinda warning you here...

seattle 0-2

yeah - I like to play the game "which team starting off 0-2 or 0-3 can feasibly make a playoff run?" and sure, we have our teams like the Chicago Bears where it isn't quite a shock they have started slow, but both Indy and Seattle surely come to a bit of a shock as to their slow start. I am worried about Seattle. they are giving up a TON of points, and it doesn't appear as if their media-hyped QB Wilson can match the points put upon his team

the Colts, like the Pats, have the pleasure of competing in a lesser division and I can see that team rising up against their slow start and competing for a playoff run more than any of the other 0-2 teams

so happy for football :)

who cares about the Bills? no offense but the AFC East has proven to be, annually, one of the most boring divisions in football

lmao the Bills would kick the shit out of the Steelers this season. gtfo with this nonsense. The AFCE is going to be one of the most exciting divisions this year.

The Ravens suck this season. The Browns always suck. The AFCN is going to be one of the most boring divisions in 2015.

I imagine you're feeling pretty good because your team is, for once, supposed to be good this year - but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Tyrod Taylor had one good game, and one good game a good QB doesn't make. I know you must be feeling the media hype for your team right now, but it's best not to get caught up in it

Big Ben would torch the Bills as equally, or more, as Tom Brady did

if the Bills do not live up to their hype this season (which could happen, as soon as QB Taylor has his expected mid-season breakdown) - the AFC East is back to being a one-trick pony. back to being the Patriots & Co. back to being as boring as it has been this past decade

Sorry man, Big Ben isn't half the QB Tom Brady is. The Patriots embarrassed your team in week 1 too. I've literally never seen a worse defense fielded by the Steelers in my entire life. They've always been defensive titans for as long as I've watched football. Now their D looks completely amateur.

And if the Patriots defense(which isn't that great either) can hold your offense to 2 TDs and a garbage time TD in the last seconds of the game, the Bills defense would destroy them. I'd say we can wait and see them square off in the playoffs but I don't expect the Steelers to even make a wildcard this season.
 
I am still licking my wounds after last weeks catastrophe. I felt like I was watching a college offense play an NFL defense it was just unbelievable. I got so pissed that I was laughing after Bradford fumbled that snap in the second half.
 
Oh my god, same here. That kind of lunatic laughing where you are like, "this can't be happening!" and "Fuck you, Eagles, you suck giant cock."

I hate to have hope, because it gets painful, but I'm thinking next week's game will be better.
 
If it was me I probably wouldn't have brought up that conversation again to brag about a 1-game lead this week, especially considering I'm still beating you in the season results.
 
you asked about this week so i answered. we'll see what happens season long. traditionally you've performed pretty poorly, if i recall correctly.

nah GM, you were embarrassed. my team lost by 7

your D was vaunted and got blasted by what? 20-30 points? my D is known to be suspect and lost by 7

Big Ben and LeVeon Bell and Antonio Bryant would make Tom Brady and Gronk seem like a New England winter's snowflake kiss on your cold cheek ;)

Steelers D did look bad, but damn, they looked so much better in Week 2. so happy to see the Ryan Shazier pick come to fruition - dude is leading the Front 7 like a true Steelers linebacker of yonder times. he is a future Pro Bowler, that makes me happy

I mean come on man, even a Bills homer has to admit that the Steelers would be favored by a TD via Vegas, two TDs by most realistic fans

whatever I can't wait for the Jets to beat all of you AFC East sleeze balls
 
Woah woah woah, are you really trying to say that the Steelers weren't exposed and embarrassed as the shit team they are this year in week 1? Because please, NOBODY who watched that game considered it a "close" game. NOBODY considers that a 7 point game. We all saw what happened.The first game of the season and it was a slaughterhouse. Literally the worst I've seen the Steelers owned in at least half a decade.

The same can't be said of the Bills' comeback in Pats v. Bills. Those weren't garbage time points like that last TD by Brown in your game. The Bills were down by 24 points in the 4th quarter and then pulled within 5 points with a QB who was on his second ever start in the NFL. The Patriots could have lost that game, very realistically. The Steelers NEVER had a chance.

If you want to believe that shit team is still in top contention in the AFC, that's fine. I know it won't pan out that way. One of my "Make a bold prediction" posts 2 months ago was that the Steelers would be lucky to finish .500 and I stand by that. You enjoyed a few years of success, hope you enjoyed them. Now get ready for those "rebuilding" years where the shitty Bengals are the best team in your division lmao.

AFCN is the new AFCE. Even your divisional winner won't be able to beat wild card teams. You guys will be one of the weakest divisions for the foreseeable future. And you can reap it all for talking shit about the AFCE. Sympathy = 0.

Your team sucks. Deal with it. You have a great QB and the best WR in the league and you STILL won't be relevant in the NFL. That's about as sad as it gets.

The Patriots beat great teams all the time.

I'd like to say to Tom Brady that they have played wonderful the last few years, he won some Super bowls so they are a champion team. But I would like to add that while he did beat most teams and won some great Super bowls there was one mountain he could not get over that would have made them a top team. He (they) couldn't beat the NY Giants in 2008 and 2010. :D (I bet that burns Tom up)

Yeah I know, the Giants haven't been so on top of things the last few years. They gave away the last two games.
 
right here. boy has it been a wild season for us already. being from PA, that eagles game was even more intense with my sister's husband watching with me and we made a $20 bet and he even gave me +10 points he was feeling so confident eagles had it.

but yeah, as of now we look good, but not great. I think we end up winning the division with our great offense and much improved defense. But even though we have been getting some pass rush for the first time in years, and our rush D has looked awesome, those receiving RBs have pretty much been the only thing that has been exploiting our defense. week 1 it was sproles and week 2 it was vereen. hopefully we can figure out how to stop dunbar in week 3.

and always good to see the saints look like shit.

EDIT: forget to mention, tevin coleman has been huge for the offense thus far, too bad he'll be out a few weeks now. but since turner departed, we have had such an embarrassing rushing attack, but that should change now.

God dammit, mike. This is some tl;dr shit like Axl would post. Just come over here and hug me. I'm glad the cowgirls are all banged up. We're gonna get some lucky wins and make the playoffs and blow it in the first round. It's cool, rise up baby.

The Giants are and will always be my heroes for beating the Patriots in the SB twice as underdogs. I enjoyed those defeats as much as I would a Bills' SB ring.

Fun fact: Did you know those were the only two Super Bowls in NFL history where Vegas actually lost money? Read that in an article in Sports Illustrated. So many people took the Giants even though they were the underdog, and obviously Vegas can't MAKE people bet on the Patriots, so they ended up losing some millions(can't remember exactly how much) overall.
