Growing up in Huntington, on the Ohio River about 3 hours from Cincinnati and 4 hours from Pittsburgh in the era of The BRM and the Steel Curtain, it was easy to become a fan of both. I've loved them both my whole life.
Anyone else here at RZ a Steelers fan? Maybe we could keep a thread going through the season...
Same as me. I grew up Big Red Machine then a classmate told me about the Steel Curtain Steelers and I was hooked. I have stuck with them rain or shine since then.
I also got hooked on Dr. J and the 76ers during the 70’s. CBS seemed to broadcast them every weekend.
See my signature.

They'll be a ton of them this coming Sunday, hoping that they beat the Browns.

Tonight's game strenthened my conclusion that Pickett is not the guy.
Neither is DeShawn Watson. He is holding that team back more than injuries are
nah, pretty sure the best RB in the league that was carving up the Steelers before he was injured is going to hold the team back more than Watson
What would you say.....ya do here?

With the Cleveland maulers up front, any RB would do well as we saw with Ford. It's their QB not protecting the ball and grabbing facemasks that is more troubling

I always thought Pickett was a bad pick. Curious as to your opinion on this, I don't think Pitt drafts him if he isn't a home grown kid who played at Pitt. The guy was an old QB when he was drafted so I don't see a ton of growth going forward.
I'm not a Pitt Panther fan, so I didn't follow him. At first I was lukewarm on the pick. Then I got optimistic with how he finished his rookie year. Especially with the comebacks. Then with the way he came out of the gates in preseason, I was super optimistic. A lot of execs/scouts turned analysts were very high on him this summer as well. I was shocked at how poorly he played against SF. And he follows up with another stinker last night. It's going to be a long bumpy ride because the Steelers don't move off of anyone quickly. I would like to see Pickett with an actual NFL OC. Canada is atrocious! But on the pick itself, I'm sure that him being in the same building for 5 years gave them a comfort level with the pick. I'm just not seeing a bright future.
Browns are getting what they deserve for signing that creep.
I'm at nearly the same place. I hate the fact that the O-Line is still terrible and it's just mind-numbing that Canada's still around. That makes it tough. I gave him last season to work out some of the kinks. But the clock is ticking away for me as of Game 1 of this season. I'm not seeing the progress I had hoped for with his reads have not been good and his accuracy, when given any time at all, is down. The pick he almost threw last night on what should have been a throwaway was just brutal. Pickett's going to need to string together some solid games, and right quick.

They won like Lewis sometimes would steal wins when Dalton was way off during that 2011-15 run. Timely turnovers. At least the Steelers have that and a pass rush. Which is something the Bengals don’t have right now.
Exactly. Why couldn't they go out a get a high character guy, like Ben Roethlisberger.
