Steeler Hitman Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Sunday, January 8, 2023 at 1:00 PM in Pittsburgh Last Meeting was in Cleveland on 9/22/22 week three won by the Browns 29-17 in a game that was actually closer than the score indicated. Now the talk is potential Play-offs! Not with the Browns, but the Steelers! Yeah coach Mora people are saying Play-offs! Kenny is Picketting his game up! The Steelers have a young up and coming Thumper in the run defense Watt's playing some more of the injury rust off his game. Should be another hard fought and physical game with Browns. Can the Steelers defense stop Nick Chubb and avoid it's first losing season of the Mike Tomlin era? The Steelers won't be able to employ a 6-2 defense with Watson at QB. He can still beat you with his arm and the Browns have some outside weapons with Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples ones and TE David Njoku. I have mixed emotions, as I want to see this team continue to win, but they are not a realistic play-off contender. The Steelers are growing and are a few missing components away from going from decent to potentially good. I would like to see Coach Tomlin continue to have a non losing season, but the Steelers are also not at point in the draft where they are going to get the top blue chip prospects anyway. Play hard win or lose and build off of the late season surge for the 2023 season. BTW: Get well #3 Damar Hamlin. Steelers Nation is pulling and praying for you and Bills Nation! 🙏🧡💙🖤💛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) this will be a great test, divisional foe with a legit ground game and a need win. Clutch KP on a winning drive (again) According to HC Kevin Stefanski, OL Jack Conklin’s ankle is a concern this week. Sunday, Conklin left the game, got retapped to return to the game but came out shortly after that. If Conklin can’t play, OL James Hudson III will have to deal with T.J. Watt coming off the edge.

43M Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I really wonder what kind of numbers Pickens would have had on a team with a better OC and more consistent QB play. I think he definitely wouldve been in the 1100 to 1200 yard range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting as TJ seems to be getting healthier or dealing with the injury better. I am sure an off season of healing is probably the best thing towards getting Watt back to 100% for next season. I am more concerned about stopping Nick Chubb consistently. The run defense has been better. This will be another stiff test. 10 hours ago, 43M said: I really wonder what kind of numbers Pickens would have had on a team with a better OC and more consistent QB play.

MOSteelers56 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 According to Florio, they're leaning toward cancelling the Bills/Bengals game. That will give the Bengals the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post this, and wasn't sure how to interpret the Browns sending him home. Is home in Cleveland and being able to return and play on sunday? Or is home far away and just stay there, nice meeting you etc? He hasn't been a major force but still is their starter , so this should help us or will it? 1 hour ago, warfelg said: Our playoff hopes rest on the shoulders of Joe Flacco. Lord help us. maybe the Lord is helping us with this. When is the last time a team relied on a game that had both QB3's playing in it? I would think Flacco is still decent compared to the other QB's the jets have. Thats a team that needs a QB, something the Stelers are set with for hopefully a long time with clutch KP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjfollett Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 League approved the proposal. So, as I understand it, the only advantage is that KC might (likely will) get the bye if they win over LV. If KC and Buff meet in AFC Championship, it will be a neutral site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
