Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back just before game time to start taking your questions and comments.
5:00
OK folks, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, including right here in Pittsburgh where the Steelers are about to play some ball. Let's fire it up.

Where can this game be viewed?  Doesn't look like it's on Fox.
Brian Batko
5:00
It's only on Fox in certain parts of the country, unfortunately. No national broadcast for this one.
5:01
So, bad for some of you, but a great reason to follow along via this chat!
Nick from VA
5:01
I'm really worried about this game, tell me why I shouldn't be.
Brian Batko
5:01
Because the Steelers are at home and still have much more experience, talent, etc. And they have Ben Roethlisberger.
Paull
5:01
Its on directv 712 if you have ticket and it's not on local Fox
Mike Medina
5:01
Boom!  Let's get this party started!
Nick in Long Beach

😡 Game not on Fox here in the LA area. We get “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.”  Oh joy. 😡
Brian Batko
5:02
Nick in VA should be good. Nick in Long Beach, not so much.

Hi Brian, where is everyone today?
Brian Batko
5:02
Late-arriving crowd, myself included.

It seems a few days ago suddenly Boz has an injured hip.  Do you know any details about this?
Brian Batko
5:02
I do not. Haven't been at practice in a while, but it did seem something was off with him, not just last week but over the last month or so as he's struggled more than usual.

Alright Steelers---no screwing around this week! Let's show the non-believers that we deserve to be undefeated.
Paull
5:03
Thanks again Brian the live chats adds to the game experience!
Brian Batko
5:03
Boswell's replacement Matthew Wright will get us started here.
Gene
5:04
What’s your take on the new kicker?
Brian Batko
5:04
Don't think he has a very strong leg. At least that's what I observed out at Latrobe when he was in camp a couple summers ago.
Rich
5:04
Wash has a very good defensive line.
Brian Batko
5:04
Yeah, I'm not saying Nick in VA shouldn't be worried. Just tried giving him some reasons to not be.
S'Liberty Kid
5:05
BB---Why was Ben listed as "questionable"---any new info?
Brian Batko
5:05
Just wear and tear, I think.
Michael Mozart
5:05
Had they won big last week, I would have been worried about a trap game before Buf. But since they played like crap, I want to see them angry
Brian Batko
5:06
Oops, we had it wrong. Steelers get ball first.

Good afternoon Bats and others.....lets get this W !!!
Nick in Long Beach
5:06
Steelers need to make a STATEMENT today to all the national doubters.
Brian Batko
5:07
Ben going deep on the first play to James Washington. Think he could have a big game if he actually gets some snaps.
Gene
5:07
I think we see more James Washington today
Mike Medina
5:07
Washington made enough space there...
Brian Batko
5:07
Or maybe we'll see a lot of Ray-Ray McCloud? Third down upcoming...
5:08
And a slant short of the sticks to Eric Ebron. Tsk, tsk.
pdxJaxon
5:08
drives me nuts when they throw short of the chains....that seems basic "101" stuff...
Jelly Belly
5:08
Nice punt
Gene
5:09
Let’s go Highsmith!!!
Paull
5:09
Berry has been solid
Brian Batko
5:09
And an early stop for Alex Highsmith in the run game.
Mike Medina
5:10
TJ on the inside there.
