What is the story about?
Welcome
back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:
- Earlier this week, Ryan and I broke down the biggest Steelers storylines to look for on Sunday’s season opener. What will you be looking for against the Falcons?
- I’m fairly optimistic about the Steelers’ pass rush this year. Who leads the team in sacks in 2026?
- I’m sure most have seen the controversial end to the Western Michigan/Michigan game last Saturday. What’s the angriest you’ve been at officials when watching a Steelers game?
- All signs point to Dylan Cook seeing the start at right tackle against Atlanta. It’s a cool story for a former UDFA in 2022 who had to slowly work his way up to the starting lineup (I remember being criticized for suggesting the Steelers should consider playing him over Broderick Jones a couple years ago — I believed in you, Dylan!). What’s another time a player finally got their moment after waiting in the wings for years?
- What’s your boldest/most oddly specific prediction for Sunday’s game versus the Falcons?
- Mike Tomlin revealed this week he’s been working on a Minecraft city for 12 years. What’s a hobby, game or fun side project you’ve put years of work into?
Tonight’s song rec: A Steelers shirt in the new Ratboys Tiny Desk Concert. I actually would’ve linked it with or without the Pittsburgh gear — a great performance.
