- Germie Bernard out-snapped Roman Wilson last week against the Browns. With Michael Pittman Jr. out against the Colts, which receiver would you like to see step into the WR2 role?
- Jaylen Warren has played a lot of snaps over the last two games. How do you want to see the Steelers distribute carries in Week 5?
- DeShon Elliott is back in Steelers practice as the team opened up his activation window. How big of an impact do you think he'll make when he returns to the defensive lineup?
- After an up-and-down start to the season, I've already seen some commenters online referring to upcoming Steelers matchups as must-win games." I've always felt like that moniker should only be reserved for games with the highest of stakes (i.e. lose, and you miss the playoffs). How do you define must-win games?
- After a somewhat dramatic Joey Porter Jr./Steelers breakup, plenty of fans have expressed frustration at the former's antics. On the flip side, who is a former Steeler playing in the NFL who you still root for?
- Ryan pointed out in the Feed earlier this week that the Steelers-Colts forecast looks like running weather." What's the best weather for a football game? Any fun weather-related sports memories?
