Week 6 NFL Thread: Cliff Stoudt edition

Pardon me for interrupting Boogie's foolishness with actual football news, but the Steelers took another big hit with an injury last night. Defensive end Stephon Tuitt is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle that will require surgery.

The guy has ability, but he just can't stay healthy. The defense had made some progress, but they are very thin up front. Tyson Alualu isn't a terrible replacement, but they don't have much behind the three starters now. Wearing down late in games has already been a problem this season. It will be even moreso with a key player gone from the defensive line rotation.

That sucks. Tuitt waa having a great year.
He needs to Reggie White up!

 

This ... erm... singer thought he wasn't looking enough like a giant douche so someone gave him a brass knuckles mic.

 

We interrupt Steelers rehash for LIVE football
The Lions led the Packers 13-0 but predictably, let the Packers back in it
It’s 13-10 at halftime but smells like a Packers win
Carry on with old news

 

He really started to put it together at the end of 2017, but he played hurt and struggled most of 2018.

 

Jesus fucking Christ

 

Ref calls Lions for helmet to helmet
ESPN ref says it was no penalty because both were going for the ball
It’s the Lions so of course the penalty is called
Game is tied
Of course, if it was the Packers defense it would be no penalty

 

That play is called that way every time. Defenders don't get away with helmet-to-helmet hits just because they were going for the ball. It shouldn't be called that way, but it is.

 

Yup, they’re doomed...

 

Suzy Kolber is a classic smoke show.

Back to Steelers Open Line.

 

It's a Sheryl Crow situation. She gets better looking as she ages.

 

Packers get away with interference
Trey Flowers got called for a phantom hands to the face
Trey is learning he won’t get the calls he did as a Patriot
He’s a Lion now
