Falcons at 49ers: Week 7 SNF open thread
It’s a surprising battle of NFC heavyweights to close out Sunday of Week 7. The now-3-2 Falcons looked for real last week, beating the Buffalo Bills by two scores. The 49ers, on the other hand, sit at a strong 4-2 despite dealing with a brutal number of injuries to their stars for yet another season. […]
Pittsburgh Steelers fall in AFC standings after Week 7 loss
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 4-2 on Thursday night, but that didn’t mean they would fall far in the AFC playoff race. After the New England Patriots win, the Steelers fell to fourth place. With the Los Angeles Chargers loss on Sunday afternoon, the Steelers stick in fourth place in the conference after the Denver […]
Steelers are getting in their own way with Nick Herbig
It seems that when the Steelers lose, a lot of their worst qualities come to light. Their defense was tumultuous against the Cincinnati Bengals, allowing 33 points, marking the third time a Steelers’ opponent has topped 30 points in their first six games. Additionally, their defense couldn’t stop the passing attack of Joe Flacco, Ja’Marr […]
Steelers trade target inactive in Week 7, move likely coming
The Steelers continue to search for a quality No. 2 wide receiver. And with the NFL trade deadline just over two weeks away, several names to watch could be on the move sooner than later. One name that Steelers fans have really been circling is Las Vegas Raiders wideout Jakobi Meyers. The former Patriot is […]
Week 7 Sunday tailgate and afternoon NFL thread
Our Steelers defense got embarrassed by Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Flacco Thursday night. Still licking my wounds. Though I expected it, it still sucks, and was a bitter cup of Joe to swallow. Today’s early-early game is LA Rams @ Jacksonville in London on NFL Network at 9:30 a.m. EST. The Rams won’t be doing […]

Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT). We’re 0-7 on the road in AFCN Thursday night games. Long week till our next game. How is the season going: 4-2 and first in AFC North… feels different after that loss though. […]
Saturday College Football Open Thread: Week 8
It’s Saturday and College Game Day is ruffing it in Bulldog territory: Austin, GA. The 5th ranked Bulldogs host the No. 9 Rebels (Ole Miss) at 3:30 p.m. on ABC. Join your fellow Steelers fans and let us know what games you’re watching and which NFL prospects would look good in black and gold? Showtimes available […]
NFL insider names Arthur Smith as top candidate for Titans head coach
It’s rare that any Pittsburgh Steelers coordinators are in talks of getting head coach gigs. Mike Tomlin has never hired an assistant who has gone on to be a head coach in the NFL, but that could change this offseason. The Tennessee Titans were the first team to fire their head coach, relieving Brian Callahan […]
2026 NFL Draft: Quarterback stock watch — Catching up on WKs 6 & 7
Apologies for the short hiatus in this series, as I battled a cold that took my energy following Week 6 of college football. I’m almost back to 100% now, and we have a lot of storylines to touch on that occurred in my absence, so I won’t waste any more time with the preamble. Let’s […]
Friday Night Happy Hour: Trap Game Blues Edition
Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread: And in honor of my Seattle roots, we’ll also be offering a “bottom’s up” to the tune of this Nirvana cover of an old blues song, “Ain’t It a Shame to Go Fishin’ on a Sunday” by Leadbelly. “Ain’t It A Shame” — Nirvana
