NFL - Week 11

[aspeck]

No Title

My wife got me (or were they for her ... hmmmm) a belated birthday gift ... seats to the Thursday night game. Nice seats and a fun game. Only problem was getting home at 3AM this morning ... wanted to stay the night in the Burgh, but had to be in the office for a couple of appointments at 9:00AM. Dragging a bit today and the high school team plays for the District 6 AAA Championship tonight (daughter is in the band). Looks like it might be another night of football! Who needs sleep?

Well, it's official, Zeke is out for another 5 weeks. He dropped his appeal. I suppose if that appeal would have failed, he may have missed the playoffs. At any rate, it's about time....

Tyrod Talylor, Buf, has been benched and Nathan Peterman will be at the helm.....

Jones accused of conduct detrimental to the NFL by some owners. He's not receiving all the love he hoped in the renewal of Goodell's contract. Rumor has it that some owners have called for Jone's removal from the NFL. NE owner Robert Kraft is one of six owners on a committee addressing Goodell's contract.. Story at 6pm.....

Papa Johns apologized for blaming poor sales on NFL player protests..... Go figure, Jerry Jones owns multiple stores....

Injuries:
Drew Stanton, backup QB AZ, is doubtful to start is weekend. 3rd stringer Blaine Gabbert is expected to start..
Devonta Freeman, RB ATL, concussion is doubtful...
Aaron Jones, RB GB, is out with an MCL
Matt Forte, RB NYJ, knee questionable
Eddie Lacy, RB SEA, groin injury is questionable

Seriously, Musky, you post this an hour and a half before the game and then forget to get your picks in?:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: But then, we were heading to Pittsburgh early for supper before the game. Left 15 minutes later than we wanted, no big deal, plenty of time. We get an hour away from home (2 1/2 hour drive to the stadium) and we remember the tickets were on the dining room table ... ate supper at Heinz Field (Primanti Bros.). Had time to enjoy the pregame festivities and eat before kickoff. Just made it a 4 1/2 hour drive to get there ...

Keep in mind, this video was at the end of Renegade when most of the Terrible Towels had been retired to the person's side. A sea of waving yellow against the black Steelers jerseys adorned by the majority of the crowd.

Step-son was there last night too. He usually goes to 4 or 5 a year

All I know is I have been to 3 over the last 5 years. All three were wins. Steelers are 3-0 when I am in attendance. Maybe they should think about giving me a private box and paying me to attend their games? Just a thought ...

Bassman feels for ya. LOL

I like the Skycam views, especially Hilton's pick off Mariota. 0-10 Pitt.

Oof. That hurt.

How cold and windy was Heinz Field last night? The Admiral told me it would be a ground game and don't expect much out of Big Ben. Of course I listened to SWMBO :wink: and she didn't use Ben in her fantasy league. We both went with the Steelers anyway.

I'll talk to the Rooney's about the private box.

There was some wind, but not much and it was about 39 degrees at the start of the game and 36 at the end. I went through heavy snow at Cresson on the way home. Never zipped up the jacket during the game ... quite comfy actually.

I'll tell her not to rely on sportscasters as weather forecasters . LOL

I think it always snows on Cresson Mt.

Been off the grid since Fri hunting. The only thing I am coming home with this year is the surprise of the Giants winning over Chiefs! Wrote this game off before I left...
