Ask BTSC/Steelers Fans
by John Stephens on Sep 29, 2011 7:08 AM CDT
Email
PrintHello, Texans fans. I am stopping by for a Q&A leading up to the week so you can learn a little bit more about your opponent, the Steelers. I know a lot, but not everything, and I am sure other Steelers fans will stop by and fill in the gaps. If one of you has time you should go over to BTSC and make a similar post; it is always well-received.
If you want to trash talk, keep it to talking about the Steelers and do not make it personal.
Ask away. Oh, and if you could rec this up so it sticks around until Sunday, that would be awesome. Then you can unrec it after the game. Thanks!

Are you aware that Bo$$man’s twin brother is posting on your blog?
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.
Ok it didn't include the link for some reason

It's more impressive when it comes from a Texans fan.
And it’s usually after a loss, when somebody is looking for a place to vent (perhaps drunkenly). We get the occasional hastily scrawled rant about how we need to trade Shane Cody and Kevin Walters for Champ Bailey, then cut everybody besides Andrew Johnson and Daunte Robertson.
Usually, those people end up at the Houston Chronicle (and actually comprise the top 5% of football minds who comment there). But every once in a while… They end up here.
Hos many Vince Young arguments do you guys get?
You know, the ones that claim that Vince’s “winning record” would’ve paid dividends for the Texans by now because some of those would’ve been playoffs wins.

Not so much, these days.
It only took about five years of Mario averaging nearly ten sacks per season and Vince throwing more picks than TDs for people to come around on that one.
Then again, as KSK reminds us, every Dream Team has its Laettners.
Used to be we got that all the time.
Mario has made his point since. The FO stats had Williams as top five for his position. Vince Young and Reggie Bush are….not.

In that draft
I was the only person i knew that i had personally discussed this with that thought the Texans made the right pick right after this draft.
I was convinced Young and Bush were busts…turns out i was right, but for some strange reason, people don’t really call Bush a bust as much as they should.
You guys definitely got the true number 1 that year

Mostly the offensive line. They are struggling to create seams for Mendenhall to run through. One of our better run blockers, Kemoeatu, has been hampered by an injury for the entire year and has not been himself. I don’t expect us to be a good running team this year.

The rep I have been hearing outside of Steelers fans is that he is old, slow, and dirty…
One thing I love about the Steelers is they show their vets respect, they don’t cast them off when they are declining, they keep them around to teach the younger players. I’m sure at some places they still list ward as the #1 WR.

-Catch 22-
Good questions and easily up for debate, so here is my opinion
Sanders is more reliable of the two right now. He’s a better route runner and he seems to be more in sync with Ben than Brown, especially on hot routes.
Brown is much more of a big-play potential kind of guy. He reminds me of Wallace in his first year. Tons of raw talent and speed to back it up. If Ben can get him in a 1on1 he will try to exploit it.
I would say Sanders. Since we drafted him I was very intrigued by his potential to be the next Ward, in the sense that he could be a very good possession WR. He is smart, not outspoken (we’re not much for flashy), and dedicated. I think he will have a good NFL career. Brown could go either way. He’s got a ton of potential, but I’m not sure how willing he is to learn. I’ve seen Ben yell at him a few times already this season about stuff he should have down. He may be a bit too much about “me” and not the team.

Sexual assault =/= rape. Accused =/= Charged =/= Convicted. I guess I don’t find rape jokes funny and I find people calling my QB “Rapelisberger” tasteless, lame, and stale.
I guess if it suits you, you can downgrade the seriousness of rape and say it’s not as bad as insulting a state or a football team, or a race.
All I am saying is you want it one way, fine, have it that way. But don’t bitch about someone doing some “hating” and then do it yourself.

Truthfully, he never should have put himself in the position to be accused of rape or sexual assault, especially when there were questions at the time of another incident in Nevada (which again I say her story was sketchy).

a 28 year old male with a ton of money etc shouldn’t try to bang as many chicks as he can like any other male? how is he supposed to weed out the nutjobs that want a piece of his 108 million dollar pie?
The first one did not bring a criminal suit…she brought a civil suit
the second one said “bingo”
It’s like people that believe there is actually a parent in the world that would allow their kids to sleep at Michael Jackson’s house after the first case…
i’m sorry, but those parents, and this girl, were attempting to be opportunistic
I've got news for you
Some parents did indeed let their kids stay at Michael Jackson’s house after the first case.
you are correct allegedly
but what do you think was going on in that parent’s head?
hmmm…the last one to do this got a HUGE settlement…maybe i can to
if you think anything other than that, you’re just trying to win an argument, because you know damn well that there isn’t a sane minded person in the world that would allow their little boy to go unsupervised in the home of an alleged molester. come on now
Of course not
and I’d never let a female friend of mine anywhere near Rothlisberger. He’s about as innocent as Michael Jackson or he wouldn’t be basically constantly saying “I didn’t do anything wrong, but I’m a changed person and I won’t do it again.”.
so if one girl
who texted a friend saying she hope he got her pregnant, make false allegation, you don’t think that opens a door for another opportunistic female? he would be a “repeat” offender, wouldn’t he?
very conveniently, not too long after he signed a 108 million dollar contract, so that’s weird
I was an average player on a bad high school football team.
There is no way you will convince me any athlete, rock star, movie star, businessman etc would ever have to force themselves on anyone.
But i guess since you were there for both the Roethlisberger AND Michael Jackson events, i’ll take your word for it
However, it’s kind of weird that you could have been both, that’s new information, either you’re a girl, and MJ wasn’t himself that day, or your a guy, and you turned Ben gay for a day.
Which is it?
oh after the "football team"
thing it should say, i had no problem with girls, and i’m not “smooth”
Very telling
There is no way you will convince me any athlete, rock star, movie star, businessman etc would ever have to force themselves on anyone.

right
especially considering any girl that is generally considered hot is attracted to two things, and two things only
money and power, all of those professions provide plenty of both
so, i would say you’re wrong about it being retarded.

See, there was more to the comment than that, even containing an explanation of how your behavior was similar to that of the Communist way.

i mean seriously
do you want to fight the guy or get him in bed?
but I am curious
how in the hell can you possibly call that misogynist? really man. because i compared a guy to a girl?
so it’s not a fact that 98 out of 100 females are physically inferior to even the most out of shape male?
or is it because i mentioned tampons, and vaginas? if it’s the last part..i’ll take that. My girlfriend thinks it’s hilarious
so do we just say it's retarded?
or do we actually prove we are less retarded by saying why?

Thank you for the legal lesson.
Still, you are ignoring the huge differences between the two posts. It has nothing to do with whether I am “downgrad[ing] the seriousness of rape.” (Strawman much?)
It has everything to do with the fact that there’s a huge fucking difference between making one joke (tasteless or otherwise) at the start of a post that had actual thought and analysis and making a post that is nothing but racist, xenophobic stupidity. The two are not similar. In the former, he’s making a shitty joke about a player; in the latter, he’s insulting (among other groups) the people who read this blog.

The best humor has a little bit of intelligence in it and perhaps a bit of satire. And a little bit of intelligence in that post would be a huge improvement.

I need to apologize to Pittsburgh and the BTSC
in reflection I believe that my comments were in very poor taste, (instant asshole—just add alcohol) and it has been bothering me all day. several players in the NFL have put themselves in situations and I should not publicly insult them or their fans. I do NOT hate anyone, I have tons of respect for Roethlisberger as a quarterback, not much respect for the situation he unfortunately got himself into, so be it.
The comment was intended to be in humor, and as much as I wish I could take it back it is there and almost everyone here has seen it, so it is likely way too late to edit.
I like to believe that Texans fans have class, or at least a little bit, so I will post an apology, when I have more time.

i say don’t worry about it…i make Roethlisberger jokes all the time, and i love the guy, and am a huge Steeler fan.
I make racist jokes too, but only if they are based on retarded stereotypes. or else they aren’t fun
that is why i’m not upset with Mechem’s Hate Guide
i don’t care what anyone says about anyone, when i meet someone, there is still only going to be one thought in my mind “is this a good person?” i don’t think about anything else.
I personally think that if i was offended by someone making a stereotype based race joke about me, i’d feel like maybe i’m proving that stereotype to be correct
i don’t know..but you shouldn’t feel bad. i don’t think you were being malicious
There is a disclaimer at the beginning of that post
Read on at your own risk and don’t get upset if you see something you don’t like, because well you were warned.
Besides the post is purely out of humor (much like Ben jokes?). I’m sure Mechem doesn’t really feel that way… maybe.

Which is interesting
because calling your QB a rapist is somehow not funny and tasteless, but calling an entire state “bunch of backward mouth breathing cattle herdin Mexican employin gun shooting inbred hicks with some more money than their West Virginian counterparts. I pretty much hate Texas and it Stanks.” somehow does qualify as funny.
Basically this is a case of dishing it out but can’t take it. You want to make fun of the culture in Texas, but get offended if someone calls your QB a caveman woman clubbing rapist. Its only funny to you if its directed at someone else.

Here’s the thing. Mechem likes to write intentionally over the top posts about all the teams that he hates, and is intentionally racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and lame brained. He is actually none of those things. It is meant to be extreme, taking all stereotypes and multiplying them by 100. It is not serious, purely for our enjoyment.
The reason many of us find it funny is because we know Mechem. We don’t take it seriously.

His weekly ’hate" is so far over the top and extreme I would have an expectation that people would recognize that the humor is actualy, in effect, making fun of those kinds of attitudes.
Except there is an art to that kind of thing.
And going too far over the top isn’t really the best way to make that point. It might be in a spoken-word format, but that doesn’t translate well to the written word.
This, by the way, is one of the most overlooked parts of good writing – the understanding that spoken and written English are different.
Which is one reason why, if nothing else, the post’s writing was very shoddy.

But we on the site who know Mechem know what he is doing, and therefore find it funny. Sometimes to take a stereotype and blow it up to its most extreme can be funny.
Certainly some of the observations Mechem makes in those posts are cringe-worthy. But some of them are also very funny. That is the thing about risky humor like that, sometimes it hits, and sometimes it misses, and what hits and misses varies with the one receiving the humor.
Most of you didn’t find, in particular, the Texas humor to be all that funny. We get it. It feels to me like way too much of a big deal has been made about it on here, by many of you being indignant and many of us trying to convince you it’s funny.

I understand why you could find some of that offensive.
The same as we find some of the rape jokes offensive. However, as explained it is all over the top humor. The more you talk about, the more life you give it. Stop talking about and it dies. Besides, how many things about the Colts or the Jaguars that he joked about did you find humorous?
Things can always be worse....
As has been pointed out
No one is offended by what is said about the teams. Its the xenophobic and racist comments, which you cannot draw a valid comparison to other teams with.
Maybe as a balance
you should go back and read some of his more serious posts.

I never said anything derogatory about anyone other than the specified recipient of my (seemingly tasteless) pun, whether he his guilty or not is not my resposibility, I am not the public figure that subjected myself to ridicule by behaving in an irresposible manner. again I apologize to anyone who was offended by my fan post.

Or Rafael Septien
Rafael Septien: January 22, 1987 Former Cowboys kicker, Rafael Septien, was indicted in Dallas County, Texas on a charge of "indecency with a child." He was accused of having sex with a 10-year-old girl. The charges were later ammendended to "aggravated child molestation." On April 9th of that year Septien pled guilty to a single charge of "indecency with a child." And what type of sentence did the now-convicted child molester get? Probation. Don’t forget, this was Dallas County (the court did fine Septien a whopping $ 2,000). That’s right, Septien didn’t spend a single day in jail for being convicted of molesting a child.
At least the kicker felt enough remorse to flee the country. He moved to Mexico after the conviction. (Cancun, in case you were thinking of making a trip. Probably best to leave the kids at home.) Too bad the folks in the Dallas County Prosecutor’s Office were incapable of feeling the same amount of shame. The country would be better off if Septien had taken them with him.
This whole story sickens me, so let’s just move on.

Only the Cowturds would honor someone like thatSeptien spent 10 years on probation and paid a $2,000 fine. He was ordered to avoid alcoholic beverages and completed his sentence without any publicized problems.
After completing his sentence, Septien moved to Cancun, Mexico, where he is now a Vice President for the Krystal Hotel. And if you’re planning on taking the kids down for a family vacation, I have great news for you! “Babysitting service”, “children activities”, and “Water Sports” are all standard hotel services!
Septien’s story has a happy ending. In 2000, he was named to the Cowboys’ 40th anniversary team.

Quick question
How do you see the injuries to your OL impacting the game this weekend?
I actually think the injuries might make our OL better
Another opinion that might not be shared with every Steelers fan, but I think Jonathan Scott is lousy and Doug Legursky can’t run block. Their replacements would almost have to consciously try to do worse.

I agree with John
sometimes to make something better, it has to be blown up first. Not that I am wishing that on anyone, but it also seemed that last year our line seemed to improve and become more cohesive after out rash of injuries.
Things can always be worse....
Hows Curtis Brown looking?
Any chance of seeing him take a few snaps on sunday? I havn’t really been able to keep up with his progress.
"Slammed that hoe on the counter like I just got 35 on the domino table!!"
Sherrod Harris
Brown
He has been pretty good on special teams but most 1st year DB’s don’t come into Lebeau’s system and play right away because their system is very complex. Personally I am excited with Brown being a part of our team moving forward. But since we are #1 vs. the pass right now with a veteran group, not much room for him in the base or the nickel.
I didn't realize the Super Bowl was played September 11th, 2011.
Congratulation's Baltimore Ravens, 2011 Super Bowl Champs - wtf?
Unfortunately
The #1 status will likely change after this weekend. Still, I think our DB corps is better than it has been in years even if a couple of the guys are too green to let out too often.

This should be a good game
I am hoping it isn’t a blow out one way or another. Actually I am hoping for no injuries then no blow out.

I think the point
is that a defense that is as good as the Steelers’ D supposedly is shouldn’t be giving up 13 to the Manningless Colts. The Texans will be the best offense that the Steelers have faced this year, so if they can’t shut down the Colts, what hope do they have of stopping the Texans?

well hopefully a “better” LT and better blocking from the OL will cut down on the turn overs. Most teams do not survive being -1 in the turn over ratio let alone making 3 turnovers.
We fix the OL problems and that close game turns into a blow out in a big way for the Steelers.

It might be telling. Or it might mean nothing at all. I mean game one at home against a team who is starting a quarterback who had been on the team for, what, about two weeks? Vs a game three on the road against a team playing (did I mention that Indy was at home in this one) in a nationally televised game with their backs against the wall, and the offense having had some additional amount of time to practice and play with their new quarterback.
Like I said, it might be telling. Or it might not tell us dick.
At least one of the fumbles
came about because the LT didn’t hear the QB audible out of a draw to a passing play.

It all depends on the OL. If they can give Ben some time, we can make a comeback if need be.
Ward, Brown, Sanders, and Heath are all capable of drawing attention to free up Wallace. We might even see Cotchery this weekend.

They have more than enough firepower to win in a shoot out given our OL and OC cooperates,
Ben trusts all of his receivers. and Ward, Sanders, Brown, and Miller are all more than capable of stepping up in a big spot.
Brown taking off the top of the defense. Sanders and Ward finding the soft spots in coverage underneath. Miller running down the middle of the field. And Wallace running wild deep or underneath.
Now as far as your pass rush, its not a matter of if our OL will stop them, because they wont. Its more of a question will the OC dial up some plays that will allow Ben to roll out and/or get rid of the ball quickly. Hopefully the new bodies on the OL will buy Ben more time.

Have you seen H Street NE? The area looks unrecognizable after they finished laying the track for the new streetcar. I was very pleasantly surprised.
It's crazy.
I remember going there for a show at the Rock n’ Roll Hotel my first year up there. There was supposed to be a shuttle to take everybody to Union Station afterwards because you couldn’t get a taxi out there, but it didn’t show up and everybody there was afraid to walk through the area. Then I moved in a few blocks south of there last year and strolled though it; unrecognizable is indeed the word I’d use. Irish pubs and trendy pie shops? Not the H Street Corridor I remembered.

I’m not surprised by the international presence. Judging from your posts above, it didn’t seem like you’d be bothered by foreigners speaking non-English in one of the major capital cities of the world.
And yes, the traffic here will be death (slow, agonizing, death) of me.
I'm not bothered by it
as long as I don’t have to live in it. They can do what they like there and I will avoid it like the plague. I’m just saying calling it one of the better places to live is just laughable. One of the strictest gun control places in the country, yet has a high crime rate. But thats a debate for a different place I suppose.

For starters
The place is filled with ignorant, self-absorbed assholes who have no clue how to drive. It’s expensive, and most people there manage to be this amazing combination of stupidity and arrogance that just infuriates.
The traffic is horrible. If you have a family, you either have to be wealthy or live way out in the godforsaken suburbs to do anything nice.
Plus, you’re attached to DC, a city which is filled with insufferable pricks who think way too highly of themselves and cougars. And as I married man, I couldn’t touch the cougars.
I like to say that living in DC area is almost like living in the U.S. They speak the same language, use the same currency and watch the same tv shows. The only difference is, it’s filled with a whole bunch of cocksuckers that can’t relate to anyone else because they have zero social skills.
Hell, every time I went to NYC, I was amazed at how much friendlier the locals were.
Oh, and it’s filled with fucking native Washingtonians who are Cowboys fans. WTF?
Nice climate though. Four very nice seasons.

I'm curious to the context of your DC experience (work, school)c
My time thus far in DC has been dominated by grad school. So my social experiences have been tempered by the fact that it’s in an academic environment. However, as I read your post, I found myself agreeing to just about everything you wrote. Now that I think about it, the insufferable-prick quota here in DC is a lot higher than in other places, with the Capitol Hill interns constituting the core nucleus of dbaggery.
And yes, I don’t get how there are so many ’Boys fans up here, given the rivalry with the Redskins.
I worked there for four years.
To be fair, I spent some time there when I was younger, single and not as prone to hangovers. That was fun. I mean, if you’re a guy and you’re over 25, you should be able to go on a date with a different woman every week.
But the last time I lived there, I was married with two kids and had to slog into DC every day for work. Totally different perspective. If you’re wealthy, married w/o kids, or single, you could have a great time there. And it’s a great city to live in as far as having guests is concerned, because there are a ton of touristy things to do.

How good is Clark
in coverage, seems that Troy is around the box more often then deep. Andre always requires saftey help, do you think they will keep Troy back to help?
They will game plan for Dre'
and that game plan will have 43 moving around all over the field.
Clark is pretty good and our pass defense is #1 so far ( i know who we’ve played)
Our defense is designed to not give up the big play, we led the league last year by not giving up 1 pass play of over 40 yards (until the playoffs) With that being Dre will get his.

Joseph has been as good as advertised for the most part.
He blew it on a couple of two-point conversions by the Saints last week (particularly the second one), but it’s incredible to see a CB actually make plays on the ball. The play he made on the Garcon deep ball in week one was one that no other CB we’ve ever had could have made. And while I haven’t seen much of Manning in coverage (aside from some bogus personal foul penalties), he’s ten times the tackler that Pollard was.

It has some legitimacy. A few of the players, Aaron Smith and James Farrior in particular, seem to be showing their age. Hines Ward too might be seeing his shelf life coming to and end. I wouldn’t be surprised if over the next couple years we see some significant turnover on the team. Although significant to us might mean something very different compared to some other teams. The guys on this team, particularly on defense, have been playing together for a long long time.
Although watch Polamalu on the field and you have to wonder what Warren Sapp was talking about. Like almost everybody else on the team he looked horrid against the Ravens, but he seems to be pretty well back to being the guy that we all are used to seeing. And that guy (said in my best Jon Gruden voice) is one of the best ever.

So I felt it would be a waste of time to ask questions of a fanbase that has little respect for anything outside of their own radius. I’m not terribly surprised though as I live on the east coast so have contact with many Steeler fans. One of my least favorite groups outside of Redskin and Cowgirl fans.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

Define "productive"
If by productive you mean did we get x number of football questions addressed despite the elephant in the living room, then yes, it would appear that it wasn’t at all productive.
However, I would argue that finding out if the piece was indicative of the attitude of the overall Steeler fanbase would be very productive from the BRB perspective. We want to know if we’re dealing with straight-shooters, and if it would worth BRBers to pose a question and expecting a good-faith answer.

I’m sure you know enough about Hines Ward
Antonio Brown seems to be a lesser version of a rookie Mike Wallace. When he gets the ball its more than likely a for a big play down field. He has some speed and is pretty dang shifty. He needs to work on his route running much like Wallace did early on, but he also seems to have some lapses in concentration and needs to do a better job of picking up the hot route.
Emmanuel Sanders is more polished than Brown and seems to be more of a speedy possession receiver. He reminds me a bit of Santonio Holmes in how he goes in and out of his cuts. 2nd best route runner of the top 4 WRs on the team and I 2nd best hands as well, even though he did miss a perfectly thrown pass in traffic last week but I’m sure he will make up for it. He also has a knack at finding the weak spots in coverage and finding the 1st down much like Hines Ward.

it spoils the fans more than a little bit. It can be extremely annoying, frankly, to hear/read/observe some of the reactions when the Steelers don’t play up to their expectations. Someone on our blog, immediately after the game, wrote that someone needs to be fired before midnight that night. She didn’t specify who, or really why, she just wanted heads to roll. Because of a loss the first game of the season after playing in the super bowl last year.
I haven't been able to watch nearly as much football as usual this year
(just Texans games so far, in fact, and those hours later from the DVR).
so I haven’t kept up with the Steelers much at all. However, the Steelers seem to have among the lowest turnover in the league. Are there any new players we should be watching out for? What do you think the Steelers would have to do to win, based on what you know of the Texans? Vice versa, what weak spots should the Texans be looking to exploit? Your guess as to the final score?
New players? What new players?
Seriously there isn’t a single new starter on offense or defense.
Depth wise we might see more of Keenan Lewis CB this week since he has been filling in for the injured Bryant McFadden and has held his own fairly well.
Rookie DE Cam Heyward might see some playing time subbing in for Aaron Smith. Heyward has done alright so far and has had some pretty good stuffs in the run game and taking on blockers for the LBs. Pretty much he has been what you expect out of a 1st round rookie.
Isaac Redman might/hopefully will some playing time spelling Rashard Mendenhall. He is a good complement to Mendenhall since Redman is more of a tough north and south runner who rarely goes down on first contact, while Mendenhall is more of an elusive RB.
For the Steelers to win they have to limit Andre Johnson and Arian Foster (obviously). But the key to stopping that to is winning the war in the trenches and getting to Shaub and closing holes for Foster to run through. But the most important key to winning is winning the turn over ratio. Don’t make mistakes and force and take advantage of yours. Also with the Steelers weak O-line and the Texans improved front 7, it would help Ben alot if the Steelers can dial up pass plays that can get rid of the ball quickly. It would also help alot if they can establish the run game. Hopefully Kemo will be back at LG and with Foster at RG it should make things easier to run it up the middle.
The Texans should be looking to take advantage of our weak O-line. Passing the ball to Foster would most likely give the defense alot of trouble. Depending on if William Gay is covering Owen Daniels I would be throwing to him often.
not going to predict a score.

Question for Texans fans. You seemed to have a history (at least last year anyway) of starting really slow and getting down big and then making a big comeback late in the game.
Is that a fair assessment, and what are they doing differently if anything this year?
that was the case all of last year
Only been three weeks, but this year they’re starting really fast on offense, but are struggling to get 7 instead of 3 in the red zone. Defense is helping shortening the field which facilitates “fast” starts for the offense. They started strong in NO last week but left the ball in Brees’ hands too much in the 2nd half and it came back to bite them in the ass, along with the fgs instead of tds inside the red zone in the first half.

That was the case last year.
We’ve definitely been a one-half team for the past few years, but so far in 2011 (as well as most of 2009), they’ve been a first-half team for the most part.
It’s too early to tell this year. But last week the obvious difference was that New Orleans picked up the tempo in the fourth quarter and forced us into our nickel package. Seeing as we only have three competent DBs on the roster, he just picked our secondary apart. It didn’t help that the D-line and linebackers were completely gassed by that point, either.
The other issue was that we were down to less than two full-strength RBs. Tate had an ankle injury, and Slaton is just ineffective. As much as they would have liked to pound then rock and run out the clock throughout the fourth quarter, they didn’t have the personnel to do it. We’re hoping the return of Arian Foster solves that issue.
Having Ward back ASAP would help as well
unless Ogbonnaya can pick up his slack

They're starting fast & pulling off the gas now late in games
We did that against the Colts & Dolphins without consequence, but the Saints had too good of an offense to do that to. Not having Arian Foster hurt in the red zone against Miami & New Orleans, but that should be different against the Steelers as he will be starting. If the Texans jump on the Steelers early & build up a lead, they better hope their offense is good enough for a late comeback when Kubiak goes into clock killing mode

Fair assessment, though I would rephrase it:
“…making a big comeback late in the game only to still lose.”
As has been noted quite a bit, the Texans offense has been quite potent for the last several years. The miserable defense last year was not an aberration, the Texans defense has never really been sound. The difference was the slow starts from the offense tended to put the team in a deep hole, then they had to hit the high gear to pull it out (or again, lose in most cases). The offense has been focusing in practice on eliminating the slow starts, and the team has shown up well in the first half of all three games so far this year.
As for preventing playing from behind, the Texans placed a focus in the offense on improving the defense, with new coordinator Wade Phillips, the addition of Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning to the help in the secondary, and a “defense-first” draft. The revamped D fared well against inferior opponents the first couple of weeks, before being put in their place last week by the Saints. Overall, especially with the shortened offense I think the fans collectively were expecting a period of transition before the unit came together, but so far the results have been promising.

Mendenhall make make 1 man miss in his backfield, but when it becomes more than one it is better to just be decisive and just hit the hole in front of you and gain 2/3 yards rather than lose them.
But then again that would be a problem if they played more Redman, all he does is get the ball and hit the hole.

Wait, he's trying to be like Barry Sanders????
Ain’t he a bit big for that? I thought he was more of a bruiser, or at least a bit more balanced. He should leave that crap up to Reggie Bust

Have you ever watched Mendenhall run?
The guy has dancing feet, (after he broke his shoulder in his rookie season he took dancing classes), and is definitely more elusive than power even though he has a decent frame for a RB (225lbs). The AFCCG against the Jets is a perfect example, there one be atlest one defender in the backfield and Mendenhall would be running at him, back step away from him in time to miss the defender diving at him, bounce it out side and out run another defender to get up field. But he also isn’t afraid to run over a DB for a first down.

He’ll have plenty of holes off guard to run into, since our nose tackles suck.

o...k
makes as much sense as anything I suppose
he was calling him a retard

I on the other hand am afraid of Mendenhall running up the middle. He is a fine RB, and is getting killed due to OL but unless Cush and Ryans put a licking at everyone coming through the hole in the middle, he could get some nice yardage.

I for one don’t understand why everyone keeps hyping up our pass rush either. The last two games they havent gotten any pressure on the QB. I’m hoping week 1 wasn’t a fluke. Right now they are paper tigers, on paper it should be a talented pass rushing group, but I haven’t seen it in 2 games.

Yes naturally, if one player in one game is able to accomplish something, then obviously everyone else can as well. Because as we know, nobody ever makes any kind of adjustments in the NFL.
How easily we forget that the Steelers had, with really pretty much all of the same players, by far and away the number one defense against the run last year. There wasn’t even a close second.
And the Bills have nearly all the same players on offense & now they're one of the best in the NFL right now

You really think they are one of the best in the NFL?
The Bills were on the come last year. If you saw all the close losses they had last year, you could see the potential of their step up this year. It was the natural progression.
Anyway, maybe the Texans will run the ball well. I just wouldn’t make the assumption that they will just because Joseph Addai had some decent runs.

What other insight is there?
You guys haven’t made a lot of good personnel decisions on the defensive side of the ball in years. You should’ve upgraded the safety position years ago when Wilson was nearing the end of his deal, plus gotten another pure pass rusher to go opposite Mario.
That’s a major reason why Schuab has struggled, he has to work too hard to maintain a lead or come from behind.

Houston has a better O-Line, and Better Backs, and a better QB than Indy. (BY FAR) To control Houston the Steelers are going to have to play perfect Defense. Our O is are Strength, our D is just getting better.

Realy tells nothing.
Their backs were against the wall, they were trying to prove all the naysayers wrong that they could win without Peyton and what better way than at home in prime time. It is going to be a good game either way, but I do not think you guys will run all over us as you are implying.
Things can always be worse....
I am not saying we will run all over you
I was stating that our Offense has more weapons than INDY, you are playing in our house this weekend. and with Andre Johnson, OD, James Casey (a legitimate threat), and Foster/Tate you can’t focus on just the pass or the run. Indy’s O is a pass all offense, Houston is a pick your poison.

I remember the Saints game last year
A lot of people thought they had too much firepower for us to handle. Well, outside of Brees’ 300+ yards they didn’t seem to dominate us like everyone said they would.

What Kubiak needs to do if we are in the lead

I said wearing a DTF button doesn’t help your cause if your goal is not to get raped. Wearing such a button obviously does not make rape any less wrong, of course. This isn’t Saudi Arabia.

Here's a straight fucking answer.
You are saying that it’s a lapse of judgment to wear something. How would someone pay for this lapse of judgment? By being raped. So what you are saying is that she is being raped because of something she did. That’s not how it works. That’s an extremely disrespectful viewpoint towards women because apparently they have less rights than men who can wear whatever the fuck they want and not worry about getting raped.
That’s a straight answer, and it comes with a dildo so if you don’t like it you can go fuck yourself.

Yes, I would submit that wearing a DTF pin in a bar would somewhat increase the wearer's chances of having sex, consensual or not
This does not at all reduce the evil of or excuse any potential crime, nor say that the pin in and of itself led to or even contributed to the crime.

You obviously miss the point. Not surprising.
No matter what a woman is wearing, it is her right to decide who she wants to have sex with. No one goes out and TRIES to “not get raped”. Not getting raped is a reasonable expectation no matter what she was wearing.
I don't disagree
All I’m saying is that the alleged victim made several errors in judgment that night.

How is this comment supposed to be taken in ANY other context except
“She asked for it?”
Because if this poor girl was responsible for any part of what happened to her, it means that it was her fault. If it’s her fault, then logically she must have had it coming.
This is all on the attacker, there is no way you can pin even an iota of blame on the victim and not say that “she had it coming.”

If you had bothered to look at the CONTEXT of my comment, which was made before you had ever seen or heard of me, rather than just taking CH and co. at their word, you would have seen that I most certainly wasn’t saying she was asking for it. Rape disgusts me, and if I thought that it was at all likely that Ben raped the alleged victim I would have been screaming for him to be released. That was my position until the evidence, or lack thereof, began to leak out.

Except again, we come to the fact that you said (several times here) that it was a judgment error on her part.
I don’t have to see the original comment to know you said it was an error in judgment on her part.
Saying it’s an error on her part is a way of parsing a portion of the blame on the victim.
I get that you say rape disgusts you. Congratulations, that puts you in the overwhelming majority. But rape is one of those black and white subjects; there is no way you can say the victim was in any way to blame, such as wearing a pin or a short skirt even acting generally slutty, without saying “she was asking for it.”
So while you say explicitly you hate rape, implicitly, and based on the CONTEXT of your comments, what you write tells me that you see shades of gray on an issue that has none.

This is why context is important
The ONLY reason I brought up what I perceived as a lapse in judgment is because everyone else on the thread was taking everything the alleged victim as gospel while ignoring the fact that she originally said she wasn’t raped, only to change her story after a while. Perhaps, I thought, presenting this evidence might lead the others to realize that there might be a slight chance the alleged victim’s story wasn’t totally straight. It was ham-handed, I know, and there were other things I could have said that would better have served my purposes. I suspect that the others know what I meant, but took my comment ad ran with it as an excuse to slime me at every turn.

Right. I get that.
But I think the “lapse in (her) judgment” is where everyone takes exception.
Because at that point, nobody knew the whole story and, really, how the whole story eventually played out ultimately became irrelevant.
“Lapse in (her) judgment” turned the whole argument into a debate about rape in general and whether a girl (or a guy for that matter) is ever to blame in any way, shape, or form getting raped.
There’s simply no way of saying she made a bad judgment call without making the next logical step to “if she did that, then she had to know what she was getting herself into,” to, “if she knew what she was getting herself into, she must have been asking for it,” and, ultimately, “if she was asking for it, then, it must be her fault for getting raped.”
It wasn’t about Roethlisweasel and this girl anymore by that point.
Anyway, I’ve spent enough time on this subject.

That the latter should have kind of expected to get raped? That the guys who raped her were justified in not believing that she didn’t want it? That she should have known that she was increasing her odds of getting raped?
Seriously … all you’ve said (that I’ve read, at least) is that you AREN’T saying that she deserved to get raped. So, then, what the fuck ARE you saying? Go ahead. Spell it out.

Because
the only way wearing a button (or not wearing panties, or even wearing a t-shirt that says “hey, guys, shove it in my ass, no matter what I say”) can be “an error in judgment” is if you are suggesting that she should have known that her odds of being raped were higher by doing said activity. In that case, you are placing some amount of blame on her. That’s fucking ridiculous.
But, hey, go ahead and explain how saying it was an “error in judgment” is somehow not pinning part of the blame on her.

Wearing a DTF pin would seem to imply that you want consensual sex, would it not?
Don’t you think an entitled, drunken guy who sees that might be a bit more enticed to start hitting on her, buying her drinks, and eventually thinking she wanted to have sex?

It could absolutely imply that.
But consensual sex is in no way equivalent to “drunken guy … hitting on her” as soon as she says no. So, again, just because you are doing something that suggests that you might be more open to consensual sex, how is that a lapse in judgment vis-a-vis rape?

Because what a drunken guy considers consensual sex might actually be rape and a drunken girl might not say no even if she doesn't particularly want to have sex
Additionally, in the Ben case the alleged victim, like I said, originally told the cops she wasn’t raped only to change her story later.

he is going to be really good for a long time. Injuries might thrust him into the lineup sooner than most rookies but I don’t think that is a bad thing.

Did he not get a lot of time in the preseason or is it him being buried behind veterans?

Buried behind Vets and Ziggy Hood
who was a first rounder two years ago. He’ll be good for a long time imo.

I loved Heyward as a collegiate player and during the draft season. The guy has very good athleticism and football IQ…things to work on (get stronger, work on the hand work some, typical rookie line concerns), but he dominated games at times.

Same.
It depends on your intent. If I’m looking to get quickly buzzed, I’ll shell out for a sixer of a nice, strong IPA (or maybe a 4-pack of the Dogfish Head IPA). But if it’s a day at the beach, on the golf course, or any long, drawn-out drinking affair where I plan to hit twenty while it’s still light out, Lonestar is my number one choice. And of course, if you get it bottled at a bar, you’ve got the riddle cap, which is nice.
Lonestar is good

A thousand times no. I understand that you probably don’t follow the Texans regularly. Hell, a lot of people who do follow the Texans regularly labor under the same delusion.
Schaub has done fantastic work under pressure in the fourth quarter. As pointed out, Schaub has led the team on nine game-winning drives. In the same period, over the same number of games, Big Ben has eleven game-winning drives to his credit (taking out the playoffs to normalize the number of games). And that number would have been higher if he didn’t have epic failures named Chris Brown, Kris Brown and Frank Bush on his side.

Let’s give him credit when he plays well (which is more often than not), but when he completely fucks up (like that throw to Wilson), he deserves plenty of blame.
However we shouldn't have been throwing when we were backed up in the end zone
Sure it was a dumb throw, but calling a pass in that situation when the Ravens defense was gassed was completely stupid

Bottom line though, we both played close games this past week.
Steelers made the necessary plays to win the game. Colt even did as well to try to win (Freeney’s sack/fumble) but their offense simply didn’t provide enough points. We just don’t make enough late game plays, especially on the defensive side.
When was the last time we had someone make a defensive play that iced the game? On offense last I remember was Schaub’s throw to Andre with one ankle against Washington last year.
Glover quin
I mean he iced the game, just for the other team.
Throws up the hail Mary…..

Actually, you're partly right
I joined this blog days ago for one reason: to get a little insight to the Texans~ a team we don’t see much of in the regular season and definitely don’t see in the post-season.
Very few of these posts contain a single thing that is football related (and I don’t count the sophomoric “we’re gonna kick your asssssss” ones, like yours above.) I’m a 46 year old woman, know my team and find this blog a waste of SB Nation time and space. This seems more like a group of high school children with disinterested parents instead of an insightful blog for fans…. Not all mind you; but a big part..
I’ll go elsewhere for my information because clearly, few of you are willing (and I’m guessing able) to have a good conversation with rational, decent dialect.

When people say “oh it’s meant to be funny” or “it’s not for everyone” or “i’m not embarrassed at all by that”, you’re defending a guy who is outrageously racist and completely inappropriate.

My personal sports teams –
NE – played in a Super Bowl in the 80s and the 90s, 4 in the 00s. Pretty successful over those 30 years, even with the lean few in the early 90s.
Hawthorn Football Club – premiership in each of the last 5 decades.
Tottenham Hotspur FC – have won at least one trophy in England or Europe every decade for the past 60 years. Could be worse.
These are just the ones I’ve invested money in directly.
Sox – 86 years without winning a World Series, as everyone knows. Did win pennants in the 70s and 80s, several more postseason berths… Not like they were continuously languishing on the bottom of the table for years on end.
Bruins – 16 division champs since the 70s, although they sucked a bit around the turn of the century.
Celtics are the Celtics, of course. And basketball’s dead for the next 3 years anyway.

I would gladly talk football
and I didn’t say anything about
"we’re gonna kick your asssssss"I was voicing my frustration about everyone talking about Pitts superbowl wins and how the Texans havent even made the playoffs. Many people forget that the Texans are fairly new, and have been mismanaged for the majority of its existence. I was also trying to point out that besides Andre Johnson, Foster, and maybe Mario, most people who don’t face the texans twice a year have no idea the kind of team they are playing. Plus the Texans came out of NO with a L to a superbowl caliber team, and it was a nail biter. Yeah I might have made the comment that Addai ran for almost a hundred yards on your d. But we see Addai twice a year, and he can barely match that in two games against our Shitty defense the past couple of years. Many people also forget that the Texans have to play Peyton Manning twice a year, and until recently we havent given up much of a fight. The dominant QB in your division is on your team. So yes, we might be a little excited this year, but hey it is our division to lose, and we have a team that can possibly make it to the AFCCG if we stay healthy and our D progresses under Wade. I am sorry that your 60+ yr old team has had the benefits of good coaching, good players, and longevity to make you a little jaded about the playoffs. I know probably more about the steelers than you do about the Texans, that is partly the Media’s fault.
So what if we poke fun at the fact that your QB has gotten accused of sexual assault, you are going to hear it for a long time, much like everyone brings up Cushing and roids to us.

I’m betting it’s the latter, and for the, i don’t know 500th time, it’s a freaking joke. Why would you be that offended, unless there is a hint of truth to one of the comments? Does it bring you to tears when Carlos Mencia or George Lopez makes jokes about white people? or D l Hughley? or when a southern comedian makes fun of northerners? i sincerely doubt it
The fact that he put “inbred” and “redneck” with words like “illegal Mexican” should be a pretty good indication. Those are completely different things.

Are you only reading this thread?
There are no less than a dozen threads each week providing analysis and criticism (good and bad) about the technical aspects of the Texans’ performance.
Unfortunately I chose this thread to read thinking it would be the readers digest version regarding individual battles on the field and a Texans-fans guide for who’s who on your team.
After the train wreck was cleaned up, it got more informative.

No doubt.
Also keep in mind this early in the season most blogs are flush with new folks to all sites and the troll cleansing is still in progress.
And the fact that after a decade of heartbreak and underwhelming seasons, many Texans fans have had to cling to a variety of humor ridden survivor kits to endure the fandom.
Here’s to a great game Sunday!
We all have our issues.
It’s all good~ the season is young and I really am looking forward to this match up. (I’m a Steeler football junky though so I look forward to every match up.)

As someone who attempted to stay above the fray, I would have to say that fans of both teams acted pretty ridiculously on this thread. It all started negatively by the very first comment about a posting on our own site for our own entertainment. If you had problems with that post you should have taken it up with that person on that post, rather than jumping on John who was just trying to create a post to talk about the game and answer questions. That being said, I don’t think people from our side responded well to the questions and comments that were made about that post, and that just exacerbated the whole thing.
Personally I have no different of an opinion about the fans of the Texans as I did before, nor do I want the Steelers to win any more or less because of this thread.

is usually full of insight on both the strengths and weaknesses of our team. The fact that it was sort of hijacked by another thread posted that offended many because they felt it attacked a fanbase/population (which I include in myself being a Native Texan, and a Mexican American). We may have slighted Big Ben, but it was an attack on him due to the circumstances he put himself in being a public figure.

Most of the time SB Nation blogs are just that: informative.
I really have no clue what happened here~ it’s irrelevant though. Can’t change the past; can only make strides toward what happens in the future.
We’re pretty sick of hearing the same stuff; different fanbase about our QB who was not ever charged with a crime. (by the way; here’s a little myth-buster: Most fanbases think Steeler fans wanted Ben “no matter what” – including criminally charged. That couldn’t be more incorrect. Starting with the Rooneys; If he was charged; he was gone.) We’re also not going to issue any apologies for 6 Lombardi’s and every year wanting a team that can deliver the next. Jaded? No… just very high expectations.
Ok; air cleared.
Football time! YES!
Offensive threats the Steelers have: Wallace, Brown and Sanders (Ward is aging but he’s old money…) each of these wideouts is capable of big YAC’s. Isaac Redman: up & coming and a solid back.. Our O-line sucks. Sometimes they do just enough to win; and sometimes they open the door to get Ben killed. Heath Miller: the best kept, most underrated TE secret in the league.
Defense: Timmons lead the Steelers in tackling last year with 135. Yep, more than Harrison, Woodley and Farrior. He’s a beast and he’s fast. If a LB can cover a WR; it’s Lawrence Timmons. Troy Polamalu is, bar-none, a big play waiting to happen. I heart Troy. Ike Taylor is the closest thing to a shutdown corner we’ve had since Rod Woodson. Big hitter Ryan Clark and Troy work well together..
Ok Taco… your turn dude. (and I don’t hate anyone…lol)
HERE WE GO STEELERS!

I'll play nice if you will.
Here are my questions of the Steelers fans.
So far the Steelers seem unable to run the ball. This strikes me as uncharacteristic. When this has happened before the Steelers were able to throw their way out of the problem. With the O line like it is, can they do that?
Also, on the defensive side, age is not on the side of the big names. Is this having any effect that you’ve noticed?

I always play nice.
Here’s my opinion and I’m sure other will chime in and offer different observations.
Any running game is dependent on the O-line opening holes… no big surprise there; BUT what is surprising to me is Mendenhall dancing around waiting for the red carpet to be rolled out. That bugs me… I’d actually like to see Redman get more carries. Ben has been awful in decision making (or…. maybe the WR aren’t running the routes just right?) and his INT’s are pitiful. Ed Reed gets 2? Really?? Dumb. Just bad football. We’re only in week 4… if history repeats itself and the Steelers actually fire on all cylinders this week (and we win) we’ll be 3-1; just like last year. Concerned; yes. Panicked; absolutely not.
Chronological age is not on the Steelers side on defense; that’s true….. but it would be a very grave error to count them “too old, too slow and beyond done”
This team has the talent and the desire to make a run deep into the playoffs… IF they don’t F’ it up.
HERE WE GO STEELERS!
"Our Father, who art in Pittsburgh, Football be thy game. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, at Heinz Field as it is in Heaven.

For thine is The Steelers, the power and glory of climbing the STAIRWAY TO 7."
Ok
From my point of view – I’m fairly hopeful about the Texans pass rush this week given what appears to be the state of the Steeler line and the fact that Brees made about 6 big plays by being small and shifty and generally excellent. I think Brees will prove more of a problem for us to bring down than BR but we’ll see.
For the Texans- it looks like you can run up the middle on them. The Saints offense wore them down, and in the nickel they couldn’t cover the slot receiver at all. My sense is that Pitt isn’t the offense that New Orleans is, though and can’t keep up the same tempo.
The Texans offense is very difficult to stop as you have possibly the best WR in the NFL along with possibly the best RB, a very good TE, QB and now an interesting HBack weapon in Casey. You can’t load up blitzes on the Texans as they can run into them and their play action game with Schaub is only behind Manning’s. The Steelers balanced approach on D worries me more than some team like the Jets.

If that's true
and the Texans are vulnerable up the middle, Mendy might just see some daylight. Maurkice Pouncey (our center) is outstanding. He was a Pro Bowl’er in his rookie year (high ankle sprain in the AFCC game against the Jets and didn’t play in the SB). We say our O-line sucks; but he’s a big bright star in the middle.
Ben is a tough cookie. Pretty mobile for a big man and accurate when he’s on the move (most of the time). If he rolls out to the right…. he’s deadly. Left… not so much. There are so many variables with the offense right now it’s tough to say even what “should” happen.
Like Mr. Worldtrip said, the Andre-Ike match up is one I’m excited to see. (I live in Nashville currently and couldn’t have been happier to see Andre begin his post-football boxing career on good ole Cortland. Dirty SOB…)
I’m looking for a close game~ I really don’t feel like this is going to be a QB shoot-out as much as a defensive battle. I’m fine with that though.

In answer to your question, I think many of us feel like this game with the Texans, more than any other so far, is really going to help answer those two questions. So far things haven’t looked great, and we are hoping it just took a few games to get their game legs under them.
The other thing that I like to remind myself is that the team you have in September is not necessarily the same team you have in December.
I personally don’t expect the Steelers to win on Sunday. I’m hopeful, but I don’t expect it, and it is fairly rare that I don’t expect them to win.
I wish
that we could have the confidence that no matter what things will probably be right by December. In our case this team needs to show that it is different than the past and honestly, they need some luck on their side for a change.

I will respond kindly
Many fanbases are jaded about playoff appearances, and if any fanbase wants their team to reach the second season badly it would be the Texans fans. We have had our hearts broken by a horrible d last year, the Colts rolling over to the Jets the year before. Many of us are also tired of hearing the “your team has never made the playoffs,” statement.
I try and pick up Heath every year for FF, he is a solid production TE. I will say, no CB in the league can cover Andre one on one. Reevis has been the best at it, but if you give Andre that match up he wins one on ones 8 times out of ten. I would like to see how Ike does against him because he is the best the Steelers have. I know the Steelers aren’t going to just roll over, but I have not been impressed by their performance so far this year, and you can’t be all that elated either.

Oh believe me, I don’t think there is a Steeler fan out there that isn’t rightfully concerned about the quality of play in 2 out of 3 week. But in my black and gold world, the bridges aren’t melting in Pittsburgh~ they do need to have a very strong game this week and I do think they’re more than capable.

I’m very excited about the Andre-Ike match-up. I think it is going to be an outstanding battle within the battle. I hope the network isolates it a lot.
Same here.
This will be a big game for Ike to show he was worth the contract. Woodley made a comment today that Antonio Brown was really giving the defense a workout today….. is that good or bad, remains to be seen.

Winston was

The O Line is a
“greater than the sum of it’s parts” sort of thing. There are no Jake Long-type guys on the line, but it’s a very very effective group. Last year, according to a lot of metrics the Texans were only behind the Patriots for offense.
The Texans can run or pass equally effectively and no one is a turnstile. Winston is a better run blocker on the right, but ok. Duane Brown looks like he’s turned a corner – he’s been awfully good this year.

Who is going to be starting for the Steelers O-line?
I know Mike Pouncey but I have no clue about the others, Trai Essex I guess would take a spot?
Maurkice Pouncey
Mike is with the Dolphins. It looks very likely that J Scott (our starting LT) will be ruled out and Doug Legursky (starting RG) will be active but only as an emergency. So we will probably start Trai Essex at LT, Kemoeatu at LG (questionable), Pouncey, Ramon Foster at RG, and Jonathan Gilbert at RT. We might be missing two starters, but I think this line might be better than our starting line. Or, at least, I am hoping it is.

i sincerely hope
that sometime in your life, you can find a way to extract that tampon that got pushed way too far into your vagina years ago. I think you’ll find when you do, it will help you be less of a whiny B
I'll do it when you get new material.
Preferably something that’s at least a little clever.

who's trying to be clever?
there’s something wrong with you, and it’s obviously a female problem.
Males don’t stalk people for 2 years…that’s sad..that’s a female problem
see, if you were a guy
you would have staled him for one night, and one night only. You would have gotten him drunk, and followed him into the bathroom.
Instead, you are stalking him from afar, letting him know you still love him, but at the same time, you’re not ready to make your move.
wait a minute
i got some new material. so does that mean you have to hold up your end of the bargain? who am i kidding, like that would stop a crazed stalker like you
Actually, they think you're pretty funny
Although you did help me convince them that using Barcelona in FIFA 11 was kind of cheap.

Self delusion is SELF delusion. It's not really all that acceptable to laugh at it from the outside.
It’s self deprecation, too.
Good to see that education at work.

I'm sorry, I just find large numbers of self-righteous hypocrites whining about being offended by a joke to be rather humorous.

Against the colts
He probably would have looked toward Freenery, called an audible, and broke his ankle motioning Ward to come across the line.

No
While he was starting he had Max Starks and Flozell protecting him, two pretty decent OTs. Now that Willie Colon is on IR and Jonathan Scott is, well, Jonathan Scott, he would have little to no protection.

Just out of curiosity
what would it take to get a thread locked/taken down here on BRB? Surely this one has reached the limits of its productivity.

I’m not sure it was ever productive in terms of football talk
