Official Game Thread - Week 10 - Steelers @ Commanders

If Dallas beat Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh sucks.

When did the shoulder injury happen?

If Dallas beat Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh sucks.

I hear you - but you know how that goes, 'any given Sunday' and all. It's hard to predict any match up based on which team has beaten who, surprisingly tough.

I have a strong feeling that Steelers fans will come close to taking over Northwest Stadium today. They always travel well, but this game with a much more heralded Washington roster, is a must see for any Steelers fan within 300 miles of the DMV.

It is going to take a long time to really rebuild a home field advantage for Washington home games. The only way you ensure a high majority home team crowd is via boosting season ticket sales (and of course, putting a winning team on the field). Until a huge number of seats are held once again by season ticket holders, we will continue to see stadium takeovers by fans of the more popular NFL opponents.

Ultimately, I don't think the crowd has nearly the effect on the game fans like to believe it does. In fact, I don't believe the crowd plays any signficant role in wins/losses of any kind except in the most extreme situations such as a home playoff game where crowd intensity and noise is actually a factor.

We may be shocked, despite our 2024 Commanders success, at just how many Steelers fans show up for today's game.

It was bad in 08, and that was coming off some relative success with Gibbs II.

I'm not sure there's a fanbase in the NFL that travels as well as the Steelers fans seem to. You have to admire that.

I can't believe we're favored. I truly feel like we are significant underdogs this week.

Whens last time we were favorites to beat Pittsburgh?

Ron Riveras team beat them when they were undefeated. I hope that was the start of a trend.

100% an upset, I remember that during covid.

That was kind of Rivera's schtick though right? Inexplicably pull off wins against teams we had no business being on the field with, then getting shellacked by god-awfully inferior ones...

With that inactive list, and Wylie in "emergency" role, I'm surprised Washington is still -2.5.

O.m.g. those beers in the giants panthers game!

I'm moving to England.

Over here we get the privilege of buying two 17 dollar 12 ounce beers and you end up losing 6 of your 24 ounces on your way to your seat.

I was impressed that in some countries you can order huge beers in the movie theater

Isn’t that game in Germany?

Steelers are playing better with Wilson at the helm, but the way we've been playing on both sides of the ball, I like our chances! HTTR HTTC

 

[Boone]

I can't doubt this team at the moment.
