Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).
We made it to the playoffs! The NFL “script” clearly favors the Steelers with a home MNF game. That ending to the Ravens game feels like we might be a team of destiny. Can our Steelers break the playoff losing streak? I’m thinking YES!
This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going, so let us know what you’re eating/drinking!
1: Last Sunday’s game added to the
historic rivalry of Steelers-Ravens. Where does that “instant classic” rank in terms of the rivalry? (See this pre-Jan 2023 summary from this BTSC archive)
2: Steelers fans have supported BAL kicker Tyler Loop, whose missed kick sent us to the playoffs, by donating over $42k to Mulhollandcharities.org (mostly $26.24, the score of the game). Awareness thanks to fan posts like this. How do your friends/family cheer you up when life kicks you in the teeth?
3: After 240 years, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is shutting down. IF BTSC were to add their to staff, is there a PG writer you’d want to be writing here?
4: Assuming the Steelers make Superbowl LX, which NFC team would you want as their opponent and why?
5: An 8-9 Panthers team is hosting a playoff game while the 9-8 Vikings and Lions are sitting at home. What are your thoughts on the current playoff setup of 4 champs +3 WCs?
6: DK Metcalf was reinstated this week, and the offense needs all the help it can get vs the tough Texans Defense. What does a good game from DK look like stat wise?
