The Official Lumpensteelers-Packers Discussion Thread

[Guest]

According to the “goddamn” media, the Notorious B.I.G-B.E.N has lost a step and is on his way down. Plus, the Lumpensteelers are struggling to run the rock. Watt, the Aryan the Polar Bear coulda/shoulda drafted over the infamous King, missed last week’s mortal kombat battle with a groin injury. Hell, lots of Lumpensteelers have missed time with groin injuries; they must be having lots of coitus up there in the City of Steel. Lumpensteelers did defeat Canada’s Team, the mighty Jills of Buffalo, in WK 1.

This is a shitty, inaccurate and sophomoric remark, but the Lumpensteelers, to quote that nincompoop Tony O’Day, “get 290 yards running and 5 TDs.”

First Steelers trip to Lambeau since 2013. This was the last game that year Rodgers missed with broken collarbone. Matt Flynn passed for 232 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT as Packers lost 38-31. The last time the 2 teams played was in 2017 and Rodgers was out with a broken collarbone then too. Packers lost 31-28 despite Brett Hundley's best game. Hundley threw for 304 yards and 3 TD's. Roethlisberger threw for 351 yards and 4 TD's. Thanks Dom.

So the last time Rodgers faced the Steelers was Super Bowl XLV.

The more you know. Interesting.

This could be a tough game. Big Ben losing a step? I don't think he ever had that step, but he has had a long good career anyway. Also, they have damn good WRs if they are healthy - I'm looking forward to seeing the injury report. And their running game is better than the mostly injured Niners RBs

I'm fairly sure it will be a Packer win, but it might be a shoot out.

We have no idea how good the Steelers run game is...they have chosen to basically ignore that component of their offense and have Ben throw it 60 times a game.

50 rushing attempts vs. 130 passing attempts. Steelers have averaged just 3.2 YPC. Ben has been sacked 8 times, which I guess isn't terrible when you're throwing it that much. It is a revamped offensive line though. Not a lot of experience.

Harris is overrated in my book. Javonte Williams was the best RB coming out in my book.

Did they hire an offensive coordinator from the Mike McCarthy coaching tree?

Our dline did well.last game, hopefully they can again. Our secondary should be able to keep up with their wideouts. I don't see a shootout but they will try to run agaist us.

I'm way more concerned about our oline hrs their front 7, in particular Heywood and watt if he is healthy. Hope we keep a lot of last week's game plan in place.

Will be flying up this weekend to catch this tilt in person.

I'll challenge that scouting report. It was a sexy contrarian thing to say, but Harris was the best RB to come out since the ludicrous draft that produced CM3, Kamara, Cook, and Fournette..and I think Mixon also. The next year Barkley came out who I kind of thought was the unicorn of the last decade. Harris can run with vision, power and catch on a scale Williams can't even dream about.
