Snoop is in the house
Brian Batko
7:32
Yeah I know, we were hanging out earlier
7:34
Full-size candy in the SoFi press box. Thank you, Chargers.
Hillbilly
7:37
Is MVS still on the practice squad or does he get a hat tonight?
Brian Batko
7:37
Still on the practice squad. Maybe they get him ready to come up next week.
Ron

They were just saying that Herbert mite go over the middle a lot to tight end, Gadsden,we didn’t do well against GB’s Kraft, but I feel we played well against Colts Warren, how do you feel we will tonight
Brian Batko
7:40
I think that'll be a huge key tonight, Ron. Steelers limiting not just Oronde Gadsden II but even more so, Ladd McConkey. Then you have to worry about Quentin Johnston over the top.
Ron
7:40
Do you think Roger’s really has spread the ball around more from now on because other teams are going to do what Colts did by double teaming Medcalf
Ray Fittipaldo
7:41
Metcalf has been getting double-teamed all season. Like Rodgers said to us this week, others have to step up.
Hillbilly
7:42
I’m not sure the bills should still be considered one of the top teams in the AFC at this moment. Agree?
Brian Batko
7:42
I don't know what happened to the Bills today against the Dolphins. But for me, as long as you have Josh Allen, you have a chance. Like the Steelers with Ben until his elbow injury.
JJP
7:44
Why wouldn't they elevate MVS? Surely he's an upgrade over Wilson
Brian Batko
7:44
He's only practiced three times with the team. Still needs to get up to speed on the playbook and probably get back into football shape to some extent.
Ray Fittipaldo
7:48
Late arriving crowd here, but the Steelers get a loud cheer from the fans as they exit the field after warming up. I'm going to say it's going to be 70-30 split in fans tonight.
Brian Batko
7:49
Chargers are out there for warmups and it is indeed Austin Deculus starting at left tackle in place of Joe Alt, not their deadline acquisition Trevor Penning. How's this for bad signs? Stay with me here. Deculus was also the starting left tackle for a banged-up Texans OL in 2023 when they destroyed the Steelers, 30-6, in Houston. Who was their center that day? A guy named Jarrett Patterson. Who's the Chargers' backup RB today? A guy named Jaret Patterson. Who was also starting at guard for the Texans that day? Kendrick Green. Who did Ben Roethlisberger randomly bring up on his podcast this week? Kendrick Green!
Ray Fittipaldo

And now the Chargers get booed coming off the field ha ha
Tampa Too
7:51
Is that 70% chargers fans or 70% Steelers fans?
Ray Fittipaldo
7:51
Steelers
Hillbilly
7:51
West Coast home game?
Ray Fittipaldo
7:51
Pretty much
Brian Batko
7:54
Programming note: No. 57 for the Steelers tonight will be Mark Robinson. He's back but lost his No. 93 to Esezi Otomewo.
Hillbilly
7:55
Do y’all remember when we took over their temporary stadium? They tried to Rick roll us with renegade but it backfired. Lol.
Ray Fittipaldo
7:55
I was there. Duck Hodges beat Phillip Rivers. And Mike Hilton was talking smack on Rivers, who didn't take too kindly to that.
Hillbilly
7:58
Hehehe. Good times.
Yates
7:58
How will Steelers run jumbo package?  Who is G and swing T?
Ray Fittipaldo
7:59
If I had to guess I'd say Peat plays guard and Anderson, because he's done it so much, would simply move out to TE. You definitely want his receiving skills available.
George C. from Scott
8:00
Don’t know if anyone sees the NBC pregame, but Judge Judy rolling her eyes at Tomlin’s way of talking was funny!
Brian Batko
8:00
Ha, I didn't have it pulled up yet but I kinda wanna see that.
Yates
8:02
Do we get 150 in run game today?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:02
If that happens I'm predicting a Steelers victory.
OneAndDone
8:03
I think Chargers win this 31-21
Yates
8:04
Seems like Smith likes to call something unexpected on first play. How about a play action deep post to 19 today?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:04
Not a bad call.
Lou
8:05
What’s up with Holcomb sickness is
Ray Fittipaldo
8:05
He should be back at practice this week
Lou
8:06
is he ok?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:06
yes
Lou
8:10
Steelers 27 Chargers 24
8:11
Ray what’s up with the Bills?  Just a slump or better luck next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:11
Their defense seems off this season, but as long as they have a healthy Josh Allen I'm not counting them out.
