Steelers -2.5 is free $$

 

[Todem]

Steelers 20
Cowboys 17

 

[Rubi]

Steelers are not who we thought they were
Cowboys are not who we thought they were
Defensive struggle? Cowboys are struggling on defense
Offensive explosion?
LOL...just kidding
I'll call this one a kickers delight...

Steelers- 18
Boyz- 15

 

[karl.Racki]

I hate to be the one.. I just have a feeling, Dallas is going to roll us tonight for some reason.

Hope I am wrong

 

[sm8680]

Karl, I also hope you’re wrong and that the Steelers don’t play down to Dallas. The Cowboys are missing two of their best defenders, their running game is spotty, and Brandon Cooks is out on IR. The Steelers need to contain CeeDee Lamb. With Cordarrelle and Jaylen out, it will be interesting to see how Najee performs. Hopefully, the backupRBs don’t outperform him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Personally, I see Justin Fields going off today.

 

[irish eyes]

How did the Steelers lose to the freaking colts. They are getting steam rolled by the awful jags. Edit, ok it's actually close now but..

 

[irish eyes]

If Fields throws/runs for 6 TDS tonight I may have a chance in my league.

 

[TheAristocrat]

I think Pittsburgh steals this one with their defense. Something like 23-21.

@rockaction How has the team fared?

I'm rooting for ya!

 

[karl.Racki]

Storms forming near Pittsburgh... STV til 11PM for Pittsburgh area and there are a line of storms just west of the city. Just north have Tornado warnings

 

[karl.Racki]

Man, I hope there isn't a weather delay.. Storms look to be hitting city between 900-915..

Light show here is amazing

@rockaction How has the team fared?

Team had a whopper of a week. Nico Collins, Ja'Marr Chase, Brian Thomas Jr., and a bunch of IDP performances that were off the charts (our three linebackers scored an average of twenty points a player and our defensive tackles averaged about twenty). Oh, we started Joe Flacco for ****s and giggles.

We're still in the running to crack 300 points for the week, which has been done about five-ten times in about twenty or so years. It's rare. We'll be (barring the equivalent of a meteor striking earth) 4-1 after tonight with a tough matchup next week. Byes are hitting, but we're deep where we need to be deep and the build is such that the shallow parts are supposed to be that way. We will see.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

I need Pickens to get less than 24.28. Please tell me I am safe.

It would be a huge W considering I lost Adams, JT, Shakir, AJB on a bye and Achane left early.

 

[karl.Racki]

Weather Delay.

 

[karl.Racki]

TBD Start time

See? I told you week 1 that we were fine, despite an undisclosed terrible trade. We had the best coach!

 

[TheAristocrat]

Weather Delay.

Thanks, man. I was rushing around for no need. Love these gameday threads.

 

[Statorama]

Is the weather bad enough to bench Fields? If it’s a monsoon Pitt will run run run and be happy with a 6-3 game

You know how Pittsburgh is with rain, so who knows.. Lightning and winds will be the big thing, I am not sure how much rain the line will drop.

 

[karl.Racki]

Wait, NFL says they are going to be making a decision.. They cancelling this?

 

[Statorama]

Looks like the lightning is more of a concern than rain - looks crazy out there

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Play ball you wussies!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Wait, NFL says they are going to be making a decision.. They cancelling this?

I don’t think so.

They’ll wait until the storm passes. Too much $ on the line to cancel it.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Taking Dallas straight up tonight, just using the 44/u

Dallas 23...Pittsburgh 16

 

[irish eyes]

Looking at radar, this isn't clearing up until at least 930

 

[RaidersAreOne]

What would actually happen if it was cancelled? Those players just simple get a goose egg?

 

[SengerCJ]

I don’t have time for this tonight. I’m just going to rewatch Super Bowl XXX and pretend.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

... Or would they be awarded their projected points perhaps?

 

[fred_1_15301]

What would actually happen if it was cancelled? Those players just simple get a goose egg?

Would it just get moved to tomorrow night?

 

[fred_1_15301]

Pass on that.

 

[karl.Racki]

Feeding the players.. Might be a long delay

 

[Snoopy]

yes, see BUF-CIN a couple years ago.

 

[karl.Racki]

Damn, its is pouring at the stadium..

 

[Snoopy]

Likely just delayed tonight. In case it can't be played tonight it would most likely be played tomorrow.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Zero chance of that

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yes

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I’d like to see it moved to tomorrow at 4 est lol

 

[timschochet]

Well this really sucks. I am at this game. The culmination of a trip I’ve had planned for months. First time ever at this stadium, seats on the 45 yard line. They herded us all inside and locked the doors. Who knows?

Really hope they play this tonight- I’m due to fly out tomorrow morning.

 

[Jamesinaz]

I mean if it's lightning I get it. Just rain - play ball.

 

[karl.Racki]

I’d like to see it moved to tomorrow at 4 est lol

It probably be tomorrow night.. People work at 4, so it be a mess refunding

 

[themeistersinger]

The storm line moved through Buffalo a couple hours ago. Behind it is clear skies here, although still fairly windy (like 15 mph gusts)

Assuming they don't lose power at the stadium or something like that I'm sure they will play tonight.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Looking at that updated shot, I’m not sure they play this game.

That said, it was moving through. That field is gonna be a mess though.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Depends on where the stadium is
McKees Rock?

 

[dickey moe]

It's raining cats and dogs out there.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I mean if it's lightning I get it. Just rain - play ball.

There’s a ton of lightning.

But it looks like it’s gonna pass over. I agree it’ll probably get played tonight.

Might just be a little while & a sloppy field.

 

[Dizzy]

Looks like a bog in PIT. Players gonna be slogging it out.

About 5 minute drive

Just as long it is not the 2007 MNF debacle of MIA/PIT.

Wow, man, that really sucks. Crossing my fingers for you.
