Steelers vs. Buccaneers, Preseason Week 2: 2nd Half news, updates and open thread

It is hard to believe, but this is the third Pittsburgh Steelers season for us in our new home, and it’s as exciting in Year 3 as it was in Year 1. However, this is also the first season with our new-look website, which I’m really excited about! However, with that comes some curiosity, and trepidation, about what this new home will look like during games.

Last season we started off slow, but these open threads during games became more and more lively as the season progressed. We are hoping we pick up right where we left off in 2023 and get some great participation in these game day open threads. If there is a desire/need for quarterly open threads in the regular season, I’ll be more than happy to make that adjustment.

This is the 1st half open thread for the Steelers vs. Buccaneers, Week 2 preseason game.

In the meantime, stay tuned to SCN for the latest news and notes surrounding the Steelers, and enjoy the upcoming game vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 of the NFL preseason!

Cracking up over here. On Scottie Miller’s 12 yard catch at the start of the 2nd quarter. Mt. Washington was running a route deeper down field and drew double coverage. Looked like eight year olds trying to cover their uncle. Refs missed one of them grabbing Washington’s face mask as he blocked him out of bounds.

Get a VPN on your computer and you can watch Pitt broadcast for pre season and get nearly every in season game.

Most VPN downloads are only 5-10 bucks per month.

I’d say Logan Woodside should make sure the resume is up to date. Me thinks he’s gonna need to put that education to work.

Denver’s uniforms suck. That stupid logo looks like a bank logo. Their old uni was far better. Arizona’s all red is pretty nice.

After the Sauls shank and Buc’s walk off FG… Boz got a lil extra leverage in his contract negotiations 😉
