Week 3 Steelers @ Rams

Well, the children return home this week and hopefully remember how to play the game after last week’s mess.

Game Time: Sunday, September 27th at 1pm EST on CBS

Rams 1-1
Steelers 1-1

TV Map: http://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2015&wk=3

Rams are currently only 1 point underdogs (surprising)

Head Ref: John Hussey
Commentators: Greg Gumbel, Trent Green

Onto week three. For the moment, I only really have one thing to say – they better look like they did week 1 if we are going to have any kind of season. Rams can win this.


Some random info -

Superbowl XIV: Pittsburgh 31, Los Angeles 19
January 21, 1980 played at the Rose Bowl

Le’veon Bell is back. He’s an excellent blocker, so their passing game will benefit as well. In week 1, the Rams held Lynch to 73 yards (4.1pc) and no touchdowns. Hopefully our D keeps Bell to even less than this in his season debut and many FF players are disappointed.

Looks like Gurley will be a game time decision.

Steelers are 3 for 3 going for the two-point conversion in their first two games and intend to keep going for it.

The Steeler’s OL Coach Mike Munchak coached under Fisher for fourteen years at the Oilers/Titans before taking over the HC job when Fisher departed.

If you want to check out their thoughts here are some links. Not surprisingly, Rams are considered a bit schizo. :lol:

Good news, everyone. I've been rotating my FFL defense based on matchup and this week, I took the Steelers. Since my FFL defense generally sucks, this bodes well for Foles and the Rams.

Nice - hope your FFL Def gets negative points. And now the thread is pretty.

Update on Laurinaitis gaining on Merlin Olsen's record. It looks like he had 4 tackles last week, and he needed 7 to tie. So, he should beat it this week.

@Dieterbrock. Any other musicals you want to see? Maybe you should take the kids on Sunday.

Putting 2 and 2 together, seems like maybe Gurley is going to be active and Pead isn't...
