Game Thread W4 - Pittsburgh V Houston (1 Viewer)

[tombonneau]

Can't wait for offers from Tate owners this week.

 

[Raider Nation]

Absolutely incredible that this game is tied. If you never looked at the score, you'd think the Texans were up by 3 TDs.

look at second half yards

I'm watching nine games, guy.

 

[Steeler]

Wow. This just isn't the same Steelers D that it's been over the years.

Also, Foster is really, really good.

 

[We Tigers]

Beautiful 42-yard cutback from Foster, who broke a tackle and outran the whole Pittsburgh defense. The ruler's back.

 

[timschochet]

Prediction: for the rest of the year, Arian Foster will be the #1 RB in fantasy football. I wish I owned him. For those of you owners who were patient, good for you.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Great to see Foster take a full workload, still have gas in the tank to score that TD, sweet.

 

[cr8f]

Nice to have Foster back but I lose Andre. :(

 

[timschochet]

Amazed that you could own both Foster and Andre in the first place. That would be very unlikely in my league.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Steelers need to guess correctly on one these plays... and chip Mario during a non-blitz and go for the home run to Brown.

 

[Buckna]

I liked how they mentioned that the Texans wins are against teams that are 0-6, but failed to mentioned that the Steelers 2 wins are against teams that are 1-5, with one a common opponent in the Colts.

 

[Walton Goggins]

sooooo much time left and now Texans defense can't stop the run

 

[Steeler]

Does anyone watching this game think Mendy is a better back than Redman?

Think the last Texans win vs. playoff team was first week last year vs Colts.

 

[timschochet]

Does anyone watching this game think Mendy is a better back than Redman?

Apparently so, and his first name is Bruce.

 

[Walton Goggins]

huge 3rd and 9

Incomplete!!! Ward got rocked!

 

[timschochet]

All the momentum back with Houston.

 

[Steeler]

Nice hit, but Ward dropped it before the contact on 3rd and 9.

 

[Buckna]

Hou defense comes up with a huge 3 & out stop. Momentum definitely swung back to Texans.

 

[Walton Goggins]

good field position

OK Texans don't be the typical Texans which will come away with ZERO pts on this drive, lets try and become the new Texans that will put pts on the board and close this game out.

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Steelers have not looked at Wallace this half. Not enough time and the running game works once Mendy leaves with a hammie.

 

[Major]

KC in weeks 6 I believe.The list of wins isn't long when they only won 2 more after going 4-2 to start the season last year.

I think the "hammie" thing was an excuse implemented once Redman started churning out the yards.

[timschochet]

Troy really redeemed himself on that drive. 3 and out!

 

[jdoggydogg]

Foster - swallowed by Pittsburgh DTate - runs over Pittsburgh Dany questions?

Nope.

Hou offense letting Pitt back in again. 3 & out.

 

[Buckna]

Andre walking around in plainclothes on the sideline. Good sign.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Brown another catch...guess who...vs. Allen!

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Brown has pushed off each of his last three catches.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Thrown to Brown again but dropped it

 

[Walton Goggins]

YES! Sacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Walton Goggins]

false start on PIT!

 

[Steeler]

3rd and 21... hope Ben doesn't get killed.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Have no idea why Schaub is laughing on the bench

SACK AGAIN!! Mario Williams!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Buckna]

MARIO!!!!

 

[Walton Goggins]

Mario is a freaking beast!

 

[timschochet]

Gilbert just can't handle Williams, and that's probably the game.

 

[Walton Goggins]

OK guys another try...

 

[Buckna]

Heard on the radio this morning, that the Texans have only lost 3 games ever where Mario has 2 sacks. Unfortunately, one of those losses was against Pitt a few years ago.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Wonder if Mike Tomlin is still going to be singing the "We aren't interested in bringing in any players from outside the organization to start at OT at this time" song at this week's presser?

I realize it's not like there's much they can do at this point, but they are absolutely going to shorten Roethlisberger's career by continually rolling out the chum they currently have at tackle.

 

[thatguythere]

I don't know who the bigger bum is this year Rothlisberger or Mendenhall. Two bags of suck.

You're speaking of fantasy, right? Because Ben is a clutch NFL QB.

Looks like a bum all the way around today. I guess seeing his line can't block anyone they might want to try to roll him out.

 

[Major]

Gilbert just can't handle Williams, and that's probably the game.

never count out your team when you're playing Kubiak. They'll coach conservatively and give Big Ben a shot to tie this up.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

Are you there Flozell? It's me, Margaret.

 

[Walton Goggins]

come on guys don't play to lose, make a play!

 

[Walton Goggins]

got to be crapping me!!!

MIX IT UP!

 

[Major]

got to be crapping me!!!MIX IT UP!

see post #244

 

[Buckna]

Actually like the deep ball playcall on 3rd down to Jacoby there. Hated the run up the gut on 1st & 2nd.

 

[Walton Goggins]

if PIT's o-line wasn't so god awful they would be winning this game
