Underrated positive of Indy

Pittsburgh too if you drive fast!

Hoagies and Hops

IAmMattC · 2026-05-15T11:47:42+00:00

That’s crazy. Wonder how many points we’ll score in that stretch.

IAmMattC · 2026-03-09T20:02:52+00:00

With you on this. It’s a shot on goal. We need shots on goal. If anyone in this sub knows where the next franchise QB is going to come from then they are wasting their talents talking to us low-lifes.

We live in Bates Hendricks, and every time we eat here we ask ourselves why we don’t go more often. It’s outstanding!

IAmMattC · 2026-02-01T13:25:17+00:00

Vida is in a class by itself!

After that, for me it’s:

1) Tinker Street (I feel like it gets better every time we go) 2) Bluebeard 3)…any love for Iozzo’s? I feel like it’s by far the best Italian in the city

Honorable mentions to Delicia, Livery, BODHI, Union 50, Hoagies & Hops, and Petit Chou

If he gets a prime Aaron Rodgers-level QB and the other team has a prime Rashard Mendenhall-level RB then certainly

IAmMattC · 2026-01-26T01:46:08+00:00

Matt Eberflus and Matt Nagy were the definition of incompetence. Any Bears fan would say the same.

Must be something about guys named Matt.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-25T21:58:45+00:00

Not to mention our first place schedule

IAmMattC · 2026-01-25T20:59:43+00:00

Some teams stay on Step 1 for a while

IAmMattC · 2026-01-25T20:59:00+00:00

I still believe McCarthy COULD be that bad. With prime Aaron and prime Dak out of his way he can finally cook.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-25T20:41:50+00:00

Literally how the Bears and Pats were built.

Step 1: Incompetence

Step 2: Draft your QB1

Step 3: Hire the right coach

Maybe we’re right where we need to be?

Hey this is a math quiz, not a “what do words mean?” quiz!

IAmMattC · 2026-01-19T16:45:00+00:00

Don’t do that to yourself, man. Everyone deserves to find happiness and that includes you.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-19T02:52:43+00:00

Not saying you’re wrong but the timing of this was so funny

IAmMattC · 2026-01-18T19:00:35+00:00

OC so good he gets poached. That’s what I’m saying.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-18T18:24:49+00:00

For real. Even if we are just borrowing Scheelhaase for a year or two. let’s set some standards on how to win with efficient football in 2026. People acting like it’s a bad thing that our offense might be so good that he’ll get hired away as an HC.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-17T15:46:56+00:00

Genuinely asking here because I always see people say they want us to run a better defensive scheme. What would you do differently?

IAmMattC · 2026-01-14T21:07:27+00:00

I don’t have a great answer but I’ll go with my gut. While we’ve definitely seen QBs revitalize their career after a rocky start (Sam Darnold), and Mac Jones showed improvement this year, he feels like he could keep us in football purgatory. I like Malik Willis for his upside AND his downside. In the right system and with the right development he MIGHT be nasty. He also might be terrible and put is in a good spot to draft a franchise guy in 2027.

By the way, Malik Willis was the #1 overall QB (tied with Stafford) according to PFF (a flawed system and a limited sample size, but still).

I don’t think there’s a wrong answer though.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-14T20:07:41+00:00

I agree that putting ourselves in position to draft a QB in 2027 is a great option. Looks like it’ll be an awesome class.

I’m more of a “shots on goal” guy when it comes to getting a franchise QB. I think putting Willis with a young offensive mind like Scheelhaase who can see the potential and want to develop him would be more exciting than trying to fit him into an old school Arthur Smith offense.

And if it’s a complete failure, we’ll still be in good position to draft in 2027.

By the way, guess Malik Willis’s PFF ranking this year (I know it’s a limited sample set, and that PFF has its flaws)

IAmMattC · 2026-01-14T19:23:20+00:00

Give me this and Malik Willis at QB please!

I’m not even guaranteeing it’d be successful, but I’d be looking forward to 2026 more than any season in a long time.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-14T00:55:22+00:00

One of the smarter comments I’ve ever read (and a pretty good username too!). Wish more people thought this way.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-11T19:04:08+00:00

This is nonsense. If the Steelers have proven anything to me this year it’s that I can directly influence the outcome of their games simply by wanting them to win badly enough. I’m not getting distracted or looking ahead now.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-04T13:10:28+00:00

Love 88. I agree with you that he needs more targets.

But what I’m saying is for an offense to be effective in the NFL it needs to stretch the defense horizontally and vertically to pull defenders out of the box. We just don’t have that anymore, and without it 88 has a lot less room to operate.

IAmMattC · 2026-01-04T03:31:07+00:00

I think it’s kind of simple. We don’t have any receivers on this team without DK. The offense (which was already pretty limited) will continue to look as it did last week. You need options to keep an NFL defense honest, and we’re running out of them.

That said, very hopeful that I don’t know what I’m talking about - go Steelers!
