Hoping for a Christmas win!!!

[Edman]

Haven't been able to beat the Raiders since 2015 and had consistent nightmares against them in the Ben years. Derek Carr seems to have coming out parties against the Steelers Defense.

Kenny is gonna throw 4 TDs

[polamalubeast]

Can the steelers contain Adams in this game?

The block numbers should be permanent.

[86WARD]

The block numbers should be permanent.

Agree. Don’t mind the current font but like the blocks better.

Agree. Don’t mind the current font but like the blocks better.

On the uniform talk, with the throwbacks we've seen this year(more coming next year), hopefully they bring back the gold helmets next season.

I haven’t watched any Raiders games, what are our chances?

50/50. They got Waller back. Jacobs, Waller and Adam’s. To me it’s a coin flip, We need to be plus in takeaways to win.

[Steeler-in-west]

Agree that the block number should be permanent and the 1962 throwbacks should be used regularly.

Franco's number retirement is well deserved, there's a few more from that dynasty team and a couple more recent that deserve it too; (12, 82, 52, 58, 59, 68, 47, 86, & 36)

We're about equal with LV so i give us the edge since we're at home

[polamalubeast]

They struggle big time to protect a huge lead this year....4 loss for them this year when they were ahead by 13 points or more!...Maybe a comeback win for the steelers?

[steelreserve]

Haven't we lost like 12 our of our last 10 games against the Raiders? Even when they're terrible they always beat us.

[DesertSteel]

I'd be happy with ONE! How long has it been?

They're coming on, improving. But is seems Carr has regressed under McDaniels, even with the addition of Adams.

2-6 in the last 7 games for the steelers against the raiders....2-2 at home

[Edman]

Just two weeks.

0-2 against Gruden's Raiders, maybe we'll have more luck against the 2022 version.

[DesertSteel]

Just two weeks.
"Just"? A TD pass every three weeks is a drought.

Hard to throw TDs when every pass play is a 5yd comeback route

I'm definitely not blaming Pickett. It's 89.6% Canada.

[BlackAndGold]

So the endzones will be painted gold just as in 1972 for Saturdays game. Pretty cool I must say.

[DesertSteel]

Steelers 24
Raiders 19

Write it down.

[Lady Steel]

Hoping the Steelers win this one. :crossed: I believe!

[Bluecoat96]

I think the Steelers will run wild in this one.

I really hope that Najee balls out in honor of Franco and the O-Line just bulldozes for the run game!!

Tomlin has the tendency to have his team fired up for these type of “win one for…” games.

I think they ball out, early Christmas Present and win 30-13.

As long as some Harris balls out for the Steelers I’m happy. Najee is probably Franco’s grandson or something. The last name can’t be just a coincidence. :)

Anybody going to the game? I saw someone in another Steelers forum post a screenshot of Ticketmaster selliing tickets for as low as $6

Yeah I know it's antarctica right now loll

If I lived near there, I would be very tempted to attend at that price for a little while…just before I couldn’t move anymore.

[Rotorhead]

Anyone figured out who we need to root against this week? The Pats, Dolphins and Chargers?

This is the 3 teams....They need to win 3 more game that the chargers and dolphins(2 for the pats)to have a chance....The Steelers could be eliminated for the playoffs after this week even if the Steelers win tonight.....If the Dolphins (Packers) and Chargers (Colts) win, the Steelers are officially out.

Thanks, so I guess Go Pack and Colts.

[BlackAndGold]

It's a nice touch. They should do it more often when the Panthers college season ends.

It took a miracle to get a playoff spot last year, don't see it happening again.

[silver & black]

Hey guys... just thought I'd pop in and wish you a great game with no injuries.... and no zebras ruining the game...lol. I have no idea how this one turns out. Neither team is doing so well this year. Have a great Christmas, regardless of the outcome!

I don't remember what were the % of the steelers before the final 2 game,but it was very low last year

This year,this is will lower too


1606763828326592514

Do you believe to a another miracle?!

[BlackAndGold]

Steelers signed Elijah Riley to the 53 man roster from the PS, cornerback Josh Jackson has been cut. May not be a good sign for Edmonds, we'll see.

Congratulations on the win. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but, not so much...lol. You're still alive... keep it going!

Unfortunately, what started out as a very optimistic season for the Raiders/fans turned out to be anything but. McDanieles is just horrible as a HC. Carr is nothing more than a serviceable QB. And... we're stuck with McDanieles for at least 2 more years. I think Carr is done in Vegas. It's going to be a while before the Raiders are ever contenders again.




ps: sorry for talking Raiders in your forum I should have taken it to the NFL forum.

[stillers4me]

My ex-brother in law was there. How many times have you said to yourself....watch for so and so on TV at the game, Well, guess who was on TV!

My brother knows that our broadcast in Cinci is always at least 30-45 seconds behind his. The phone rang and all he said....keep watching the TV. I looked up and ....OMG! There's Bob! The timing was perfect. :sofunny:

I was going to ask you how you felt about Carr going forward as QB of the Raiders. I've always liked the guy and thought he was a good QB, but he has definitely seemed off this year in particular. I know they can get out of his contract after this year with no money due to him and therefore no cap hit if he is released/traded from the team.

I'll be curious to see what they do and if they draft a QB in the first round this year.
