Pittsburgh Next

I strongly disagree with regard to giving a high priority to safety. Should be spend a 1st on backup safety? Should we spend $5M a year or more on a backup safety. My answer is no. I understand that many her disagree.

A safety drafted #1 won’t be a backup for long, if at all.

Dwayne Allen is back!

And they can use him. Running game went on life support in Miami and Steelers lead league in sacks.

I hope Shelton plays and doesn't suck.

I might be the only one here who wouldn't be surprised. Same for Dawson. I think Jackson has secured a spot outside and JMac doesn't look as comfortable inside. Jones has been the weak link there, so could be an opportunity.

I live an hour and a half east of Pittsburgh. My wife, father-in law and virtually everyone where I live is all about Pittsburgh sports teams. My father-in law was going to try to get tickets for himself, my wife and I, but I'm working like 25 days straight . Never been to an NFL game

I think you're looking a little pale.....I hope you don't come down with something that makes you have to call out from work

Haha, I could really use the money actually. Much as it sucks having to work this time of year, especially with the Patriots stopping by, Christmas is really pricey, as I'm sure a lot of you know. Got a small family (that's going to grow in the next couple years) and it's not getting any cheaper lol

I’m in a similar boat, although I live much closer to the stadium than you do. Just not lining up well this year with Xmas a week or so away and tix that would cost 500-600 for a pair of nosebleeds. Thank goodness for high def TV, comfy indoor temps, and a handy mute button.

I get it. I've been there...Having said that you may never be able to tell your kids you once saw Tom Brady play live. Years from now you may look back with regret and ask, "did I really have to work 25 days in a row or would a day of memories at the stadium with my wife and father in law watching the greatest player of all time be more worth it?"...... I'm not in your shoes now so I'll understand if you tell me drop dead and mind my own business. Just throwing it out there.....

Just FYI there are good seats (lower level sideline) for <$300 on Ticketmaster.

I hope for both or neither of those things.

Thanks, I actually just received an email from TM exchange a few mins ago that shows some cheaper seats. They’re still in the upper levels, but only around 125 each. That’s hard to pass up.

Looks like a cold, constant rain, though. Gonna be hard to talk the wife into it.

The warm couch with refreshments sounds good.

Right, Instead of dealing with a real need, we could use a first on a safety and bench Chung or McCourty.

I understand that this is an option. Personally, I think that we are better using our top free agent money and top 4 draft choices elsewhere.
