Steelers v. Dolphins: Game Night Thread

50 great years have passed since the 72 undefeated season. Special for fans who saw it and special for the tradition of winning that Shula brought to the franchise. Those folks, WERE the glory days.

Well tonight, in front of a huge TV audience, Tua returns. I expect lots of trauma talk and concussion talk from the announcers, I just hope it doesn't make watching the game a bore. Tua may be a bit stale and tentative tonight...we will all be watching. Football fans across the nation will be watching. The Steelers will be really pushing to intimidate Tua so the line REALLY needs to step up their blocking capability. The running game will be helpful to keep Tua upright and not hitting the turf hard. We don't need to see him or anyone get injured on either side of the ball.

Enjoy the game: Go Dolphins!

As a resident of Central Pennsylvania, I'm hoping I can be really annoying to my friends, family & coworkers tomorrow morning.

Was pretty cool to see Griese Csonka Little and Warfield at the coin toss. Zonk walking with a cane, but they all looked pretty good.

Ok...that first drive ended a LOT better than it started... A false start penalty, then a negative yardage play. But then, wow. what a drive for a TD. Keep it up, guys!

Excellent start.

Griese was only 6 feet tall. Czkonka was 6'3" and weight 240 or more in his prime. Both are shorter today.

Earl Morrall was a tad taller than me. We were in an elevator together in the late 70s. I am 6'2".

Uh...coach?

when you are in easy FG range on 3rd and 2 and you run the ball for zero yards....you don't go for it on 4th down and get another running play for another zero yards. You put your kicker out there and take the 3 points.

JC--your comment is on the money. Dumb decisions stopping progress. Where is Gesicki on these short plays? Ridiculous.

okay, I am going to write it. Our HC is over his head. He looks bewildered. I see him saying to himself, "now what." He is not impressing me one bit--and hasn't watching his pregame interviews.
4th quarter now and he has no offensive answer to score points.

Yeah if we pull off the win, it'll be because our Defense bailed us out AND because the Pittsburgh Defense dropped 2 or 3 interceptions.

(I write this while we are up 16-10 with 10 mins remaining.

Well, I hope none of the 1972 old timers had a heart attack from that finish. But I almost did.

Iggy gave up so many first downs , I have no doubt Flores targeted him . But he finally made them regret it at the worst time possible!

Not pretty(except for that last drive).....but I'll take it!!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

McDaniel outsmarted himself on the 4th down call for sure. And our final 3rd down play on offense was dumb as well. PIT out of timeouts, run the ball and take time off the clock. Or, if throwing you've gotta have a play or two that are sure-fire easy, safe completions. We gifted them 35+ seconds. A better team would have taken advantage of it.

Our 4th consecutive game with a different starting QB, so not totally surprised that after a scripted start, we began to look a bit out of sync.

Hoping we progress in gel-ing on offense.

On D it's brutal what injuries among DBs has done. Just limits us so much. Very glad we were playing a rookie QB.

Its a different game when Howard plays . And complete shutdown when Joes plays with him. NOAH IGBINOGHENE got raped, first down after first down. Finally they took him for granted 1 too many times at the very end.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I agree that the DL isn't getting near the pressure they should, no matter who's playing behind them. But, having our top DBs is designed to give them the extra 1/2 second every play to get to the qb. And, there's less need to have both safeties playing back and not blitzing. Sometimes a blitzing safety is picked up and enables a DL to get there. I think they're significantly impacted by our losses in the secondary and they're underperforming in their own right.
