Weekend’s here! Kick back and stay awhile.

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

  1. The Steelers remaining schedule is as follows:
  • Nov. 10 @ Washington
  • Nov. 17 vs. Baltimore
  • Nov. 21 @ Cleveland
  • Dec. 1 @ Cincinnati
  • Dec. 8 vs. Cleveland
  • Dec. 15 @ Philadelphia
  • Dec. 21 @ Baltimore
  • Dec. 25 vs. Kansas City
  • TBD vs. Cincinnati

Give me your post-bye W-L predictions. You can give an overall record prediction or break it down game-by-game. Extra credit, give your AFC playoff seeding predictions.

2. In this week’s Read & React, Ryland Bickley and I handed out some midseason awards. I want to hear your answer on a couple of those awards, plus I came up with a few new ones:

  • Team MVP
  • Best Rookie
  • Mr. Consistent — a player who is solid week after week, snap after snap
  • Sparkplug — this is the player who gives the team a spark. The player that makes the big play when the team needs it or is playing flat
  • Glue guy — this player may not be the best player, but they do the dirty work and/or rally the team around them. They hold things together.

3. Alright, put your couch GM hat on. With the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday, I want you to give me your best trade proposal the Steelers make before the deadline. I expect this will be dominated by WR trades, but I don’t want you to feel limited to that. If you have a different type of trade in mind, let’s hear that too!

4. Song of the Week: Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf) – Pixies

After seeing a movie recently with this song in it, I’ve been on a Pixies kick this week. This one was always one of my favorites and I’ve listened to it a bunch this week.

Cheers, and enjoy your weekend. Here we go Steelers, here we go!
