It’s already been a roller coaster ride of a season.

The Steelers are beat up JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey White , but at 4-4 have a chance to be over .500 for the first time in 2019. The Rams represent a real tough test and a win would really feel pivotal. Join me, won’t you, as we relive the game in real time.Nonetheless, a simple reminder, a knee jerk reaction is an immediate and unthinking, emotional reaction. It’s basically shooting first and apologizing later. I can safely say that’s a true definition of your’s truly and a good lot of Steeler Nation. Here’s my real-time reactions during the Steelers’ quest for a record of .500 after starting off 1-4.Quarter 1Like last week, looks like another gorgeous day to be at Heinz.The throwbacks look awesome. The 1979 team is in the house. Let’s go.Horrendous snap and a Rams touchdown just like that. 7-0 Rams.What’s wrong with Pouncey?Pouncey with the trip of Tony Brooks-James. Not a good start for No. 53.That looks like a backwards pass. They should challenge.A challenge win. Nice!Gurley hasn’t had a 100-yard game in nine contests. He’s running well already.Goff looks like he has the yips. Defense looks good.Johnson with a couple yards on the return. Is that a record for 2019?The offense looks stagnant.That third down pass to Johnson was pretty.I think DJ is going to be a star.These dumpoffs on third and long are not productive.Pinned them back with the punt. Berry is having a good year.Gurley is heating up. That can’t be good.Defense is fired up though. Vince Williams is a run-stopping demon. Nice.Forced a punt. The defense is keeping them in this.Free play!Ugly pass. Nice catch by JJSS.Gotta prove that you can move it here.DIontae Johnson can’t drop those. Help your quarterback.They can’t run.Good third down pickup for Rudolph to a redemptive DJ.Dammit Chuks!That INT can’t stand. DJ was held by Ramsey.That challenge flag is confusing.Now convert!Washington with a huge grab. He has fantastic hands.TD! JWash! 7-7.Photo by Justin K.

I didn’t see it.Fans love Banner.Samuels with a nice first down.Edmunds needs to just go forward. Bad choice.Another huge first down. Thought he would be short after the hesitation.Almost an interception. Bad decision.Vance saved the pick as a DB.Crap. Couldn’t scramble for the first.Who is offsides?On us.Almost a devestating punt block.It was deflected. But not in a bad way.Can’t let Goff heat up.Yeah. That’s a PI on Edmunds. Looked innocent at first, but no.Big stop. Gurley was wide open, but the heat from Watt and Dupree caused it,Gotta do something here.Thats a huge wad of gum in Danny Smith’s mouth. Yuck.Great YAC for JuJu. Huge.That’s a forward pass, not a fumble. Shovel.Good catch by Vance.Uggh! JSam can’t drop those.Aaron Donald helped that get rushed.Poor tackling. Don’t let them get points before the half.T.J. is amazing. Could have been a strip.Bad punt. Now let’s move the ball.Beautiful run after the catch by James Washington. But gotta hold on to it. That could be a killer.C’mon. Need another big third down stop.Really? Is that a Minkah touchdown? I think it’s getting reversed.Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesYessss!How do you like that trade now?He didn’t assume. Huge awareness by No. 39.Goff looks like Napolean Dynamite.Alomst a pick by Joe.Haden with a nice push out.Defense is fired up. Lets get it back again.Let’s get more points before the half?Where’s the penalty on Aaron Donald.Sutton went for the pick and missed. They are ball hawking.That was unfortunate. You can’t give a receiver that much room.Hold? Nice.Back in range. Zuerlein is good enough to get it.No dice.Halftime. 14-7...good guys.Quarter 3Stopping them on the first possession would be huge.Huge tackle by Barron.12 players didn’t help the Steelers on that third down.Yes! Joe Haden with a huge pick. Now take advantage.Like the effort by Brooks-James.Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesHe’s fast.Nice run by Samuels too.Jalen Ramsey with the PI on JuJu.Ouch. Hold on Vannett. Definitely a hold.What a crappy series by the offense.Man. That was amazing pressure and a great tackle.Blake Bortles. Great.Trey Edmunds with the huge pick on trickery.Trey has more interceptions than his brother. Didn’t think that was reviewable.Terrible penalty on Big Al.That’s a shame. Nice run by TBJ negated.What the hell was that? Vanimal with the run.Vanimal with a bad drop.Wow! Gurley with a big gain.The Rams are heating up.Huge hole again.Penalty on LA.Big third down.Really need to hold them here.And a huge stop by Minkah.FG. 14-10.End of three.Quarter 4Good defense.That was a great catch by Woods. Gave up too much on third down.Don’t love being that deep back with Mason.This could be a pivotal drive.Safety. That was my concern.Why didn’t he hand that off?Haden is really balling out.Hargrave is having nice impact too.Nelson with an impressive sound tackle.Decent return by Diontae.That was a sweet catch by Washington.I can’t believe they went for that first down.

Okay.Big FG. 17-12.Lets go defense.Bad ST coverage. Ridiculous.They are going to get a bad penalty and blow this.Nelson with a huge stop on Everett.Heyward with a big bat.Edmunds with a huge play. That could have been interference.Three Rams timeouts. Can’t do anything stupid. But you gotta convert at least one.I agree with the play calling. The punt will need to be huge. Nothing dumb on defense.Another sack for Watt.I’m worried about a PI.Pass interference. Wow.Minkah! I love you.Haden with the tip.Huge win. 17-12.Once again, I just shot first and I’ll apologize later. All reactions were in real time. Basically, it is the equivalent of watching me do the highlights if I hadn’t been blacklisted by the major networks. Now time to watch it again and see what really happened. Make sure you get your voice heard in the comments below. Setting the DeLorean time circuits to 1985. Back to the Future competed with Pee Wee’s Big Adventure at the box office. Tears for Fears wanted us all to Shout because Everybody Wants to Rule the World.After 12 games your Pittsburgh Steelers stood at 7-5 https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey , poised to return again to the playoffs as they had in 1984. Miami’s Siamese quarterback, Woodstrock had been surgically separated, only to have David Woodley come to Pittsburgh and share QB duties with Magnum PI, I mean, Mark Malone. Which is just about all you need to know to know how the season ended up. We lost our last four games to finish 7-9, and out of the playoffs. That we did not make the playoffs, however, did not mean our team was bereft of talent. The team was not that different from the one we fielded the year before, nor the record. in 1984 we finished 9-7, beat the Broncos in the first round of the playoffs before losing to Dan Marino’s Dolphins in the AFC Championship game. Malone and Woodley, Erenberg and Abercrombie were less than memorable. Louis Lipps and John Stallworth, however, were split wide, and had real talent. Stallworth of course made it into the Hall of Fame, Lou (they’re saying Lou T. J. Watt Jersey White , not boo) Lipps made it into the Pro Bowl.It was, as per usual, on the other side of the ball, however, where the Steelers were stronger. Keiths Gary and Willis were football’s equivalent of hockey’s Hanson Triplets- guys who seemed more interested in putting a hurt on the enemy than winning the game. Our defensive backfield sported Donnie Shell still from the glory years and a young Dwayne Woodruff. Another Steeler defensive back played a prominent role that year, as Tony Dungy served as our defensive coordinator.It was our linebacking corps, however, that was the strength of the defense. No, we no longer had Hall of Famers Lambert and Ham, but we did have Robin Cole, Bryan Hinckle, David Little, Mike Merriweather and Dennis “Dirt” Winston. Some were near the end of their time in the spotlight, others at the beginning, but all of them enjoyed long and successful NFL careers.In addition Womens James Conner Jersey , we still had Mike Webster, a Hall of Famer, and as our kicker, Gary Anderson who like Donnie Shell, should be in the Hall of Fame. All of whom were coached by the Emperor Chaz who also has a bust in Canton.My goal for this walk down memory lane is neither to show off my memory, nor to practice my google-fu. Rather it is to remind us all that a.) we’re not in the playoffs yet and b.) even when we have disappointing seasons we have reasons to give thanks. We’ve had drama. We’ve had grievous lapses and embarrassing losses. We’ve had dominating wins, and frightening injuries. We’ve had more JuJu joy, and Conner strong success. This is my first season without my dad to talk to. It’s my first season writing for BTSC. My hope is it will be my seventh season celebrating a Super Bowl victory. But even if it’s not, I’m grateful for every member of the Front Office, every coach and player on the team, and every citizen of Steelers Nation.
