Off to a great start. It is amazing how many Steeler fans are at this game. We are 1-4, and they took over their stadium.

The D and James look great.
Yeah some people were saying that after his first game or two. I remember Polamalu was terrible all his rookie season.
Bush is among the leaders in almost all defensive categories as a rookie this far.
Steelers need to win 2night.
Because of the MLS stadium, this has to be the biggest visitor fan % at an away game ever, if not awfully close to it. I love it!
JC doing a much better job of being elusive and shedding guys/not going down on first contact.
I was very happy they traded up for him and thrilled we got minkah.
defense is drastically improved since the trade
So has the light bulb finally gone on for Bud Dupree or is it just that SD’s LT is that bad. He actually looks like a 1st rounder tonight.
The Steelers play the Dolphins next, so they will be 3-4 after that game. They could still win their division believe it or not.
At the same time the Ravens schedule begins to toughen up and the Browns have New England and Buffalo. We’ll have every shot in the world to win it!
The defense is looking amazing. I guess the San Diego home field advantage is helping. Damn they look fast.
I am confused by the narrative. Conner has over 100 total yards and 2 TD’s. The defense has dominated LA. They have caused havoc and created turnovers.
Yeah right, if I had to bet who would open up next season as starting QB would have Rudolph as odds on favorite.
Conner must be banged up. That hit he took looked pretty hard when hitting the ground.
His durability will be a major issue for a long career.

Snell has looked good as well tonight, OL has done a real nice job to this point.
Bush has missed his last 4 tackle attempts.......very badly.
I don't know that Hodges could start in the XFL. But it seems like Rudolph will be back by the next game.
Pet peeve of mine. There are 10 guys close to the line ready for an onsides kick. You decide to kick it deep, but kick it to the 1 guy back. Practice kicking it away from the 1 return man, and you can pin the other team deep.
Shazier and Polamalu, probably our two best defenders in the past ~25 years, both missed more than their fair share of tackles.
Just hard for me to reconcile paying that price for a safety, even one that may be the best defensive player on the team. I never had any doubts about his ability.
