Yinz are making me hungry

 

Match ups I am interested in -

 

Gilmore vs. Antonio brown - he had major issues in coverage on him last year and has traditionally struggled with smaller, speed WRs. Last year he was coming off the injury, would like to see that matchup now

 

Our OL vs Pitt DL - mismatch last year in their favor. No Glenn, should be interesting

 

EJ vs Pitt D - enough said

 

Our DL vs Pitt OL - their OL has struggled to protect Ben recently

 

Our secondary vs Dri archer - this little guy from Kent sT can flat out fly and has looked really good so far. Caught a 46yd TD in 1st PS game.

 

Our run D vs Lagarrette Blount - PTSD

(Bell too)

Also may draft them as a combo in FF

Apparently you are trying to interject football into a food thread. Talk about old haunts always seems to come back to the favorite food joints.

And Mad Mex for some really good Mexican food.

Fathead's in the Southside for insane burgers and sandwiches. Wings and nachos too.

 

Church Brew Works near the Strip District is worth a visit. Good beer, decent pizza, and certainly unique.

Man I always hated Primanti Bros sandwiches. I think it was the bread because I have no issue with fries on my sandwich.

 

I love me some Fatheads though. Go there for food and beer - both are great. The Church Brewery is cool and the food was good, but the beer was not. Great set up though.

I’m sure the players are thrilled that they have to bus for an hour to practice and back each day. Are there no hotels near Latrobe or was this just poor planning?

 

It use to be. Now they are in st. Louis.

Anheuser-Busch bought Rolling Rock but it is brewed in their Newark, New Jersey facility, not St. Louis.

Not that I'm old, but I definitely remember when that place opened...

 

Good food aside, I'm pretty excited to see how we measure up against the Stillers - it will be a great measuring stick and a chance to build some confidence this off season.

 

I was interested to read that Tomlin and EJ know each other, it'll be fun to see what Mikey has to say about EJ at the end of it all. There was also a great quote from 7-Eleven on Murph last night who said the team feels like there just starting to get to the point of gelling and really clicking - let's hope!

Watching them against Carolina and getting first-hand "reports" from friends that went to practice, it sounds like that's the case. Now, how well that carries over into the regular season remains to be seen, but it's encouraging nevertheless.
