Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Has an NFL team ever won a game (by more than a TD) by just kicking field goals when the opponent actually scored a TD?
Just sayin': Fields played a good game; but he has to start getting the ball into the end zone.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin announces QB plan for Week 3: 'We're readying ourselves around Justin' Fields playing
Russell Wilson is still dealing with a calf injury
Who is starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers at quarterback between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson has become the main storyline from Mike Tomlin's weekly Tuesday press conference. That was again the story this Tuesday, when the Steelers head coach announced that Fields is on track to start in Pittsburgh's home opener this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
"We're in the same posture as we were in last week with [Russell Wilson]," Tomlin told reporters. "We're readying a plan that features Justin in his readiness. We'll follow Russ throughout the week. ... We're readying ourselves around Justin, and we'll stay in that mindset until something else happens. Hypotheticals is a waste of our time."
Wilson was inactive for Pittsburgh's first two games after he aggravated a calf injury that was initially sustained on the eve of training camp. Fields, a former first-round pick, who, like Wilson, was acquired by Pittsburgh this offseason, stepped in and helped lead the Steelers to the franchise's 2-0 start since 2020. Pittsburgh is also 2-0 with its first two wins being on the road for the first time since 1999.
While the defense carried the load, Fields and the offense did their part in helping the Steelers defeat Atlanta in Week 1 and Denver in Week 2. In those games, Fields completed nearly 70% of his passes without turning the ball over. He directed six scoring drives in Week 1 and three more on Sunday that included his first quarter touchdown pass to Darnell Washington.

The NFL requires teams to report on the status of injured players on a set schedule during the season. This is to prevent gamblers from gaining an unfair advantage by learning about injuries before the public.
"A violation of the policy may result in Commissioner discipline, which may include a fine on the involved club, fines or suspensions of involved individuals, as well as the possible forfeiture of draft choices by the involved club," NFL rules state.

Anyone else ready for the Steelers to sign a WR or come out and say they aren't? I'm sick of seeing twitter, et al saying how the Steelers are pursuing XYZ receiver - the Aiyuk stuff drove me nuts all summer

The boss
The Steelers only shop at Dollar General for trades lol. The only time I recall them sending anything of value was Minkah Fitzpatrick trade. They are about to waste him and TJ Watts prime.

Mediocre Mike Strikes again - 18 consecutive non losing seasons, impressive as heck, but how about some playoff wins?

Got to take my 14 yr old son to his first "real" Steelers game (been to a few preseason games) - It was a great experience for him. Walked down to the endzone pregame and got to watch Fields warmup, even though there were 100 people standing there, my son is convinced that Justin nodded only to him (granted, he did wear an OSU shirt under his jersey and showed it off)
