This will be your official live chat for the Steelers vs Falcons game, and I'll be here running it from start to finish. I'll share my thoughts and post yours here.

Let's get into it.

Somebody in Pittsburgh say something about GETTING FIRED UP ????  Hey Atlanta falcons you’re the dirtiest bird ! CONE AND GET SOME.

How's field after Pitt in the rain?
Christopher Carter
1:01
Field looks good! Checked it out last night after I covered the Pitt game and I think whatever they did with the field helped it really hold up.
1:04
Falcons win the choice and will kick.

#Steelers get the ball first.
1:06
Kaden Wetjen gets a return of 27 yards to get to the Steelers' 38.

After a throwaway by Aaron Rodgers and a run by Jaylen Warren for 4 off the left side, it's 3rd and 6. #Steelers
1:07
Deep ball on 3rd and 6 from Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf is an overthrow, and the #Steelers go 3-and-out to open the season.

Cameron Johnston's punt goes to the 17 -- 41-yard kick. Falcons' ball.

Good afternoon Chris and my Steelers sisters and brothers!!  I’m very optimistic about today’s outcome. if Asante Samuel has a good game, will JPJ’s back start suddenly feeling better?
Christopher Carter
1:08
That's a good question! We will see next week!
JR

Hey CC… which Tight End gets the most snaps today? It figures it’ll be Washington because of run blocking. Waddya think? Thanks.
Christopher Carter
1:08
I still think it's Freiermuth. He's the biggger receiving threat

I'm excited to see what these Steelers can do since this is the first time watching the starters.

Never expect a blowout in todays NFL, but should be a win today.

Hi Everyone!  Let's hope for a great game and year.  Good Steelers!

The only porter we should be talking about now is cold and frothy.....

After Patrick Queen stuffs Bijan Robinson on a run and a quick pass, Alex Highsmith registers the #Steelers' first sack of the season to force the 3-and-out.

The Falcons punt goes 60 yards is returned by Kaden Wetjen goes 8 yards.

Steelers' ball on their own 32.

Looks like Metcalf got held from where I sit.
George C. from Scott

I know the NFL wants to ramp up excitement late in the season with the schedule, but this week’s slate is pretty underwhelming. It is also an acknowledgment offenses didn’t play and gel in preseason?

1:11
Oh, look 3 and oiut. I think we have a patent on that.
Ken
1:11
3 and out.  Not a good way to begin the game.
Steeler Nation Rudy
1:11
I like the way Woody thinks!
Hillbilly
1:11
I like that we are limiting Robinson right now
Ken
1:11
Nice return.
Ken
1:11
Great looking pass rush both plays.

That’s not a hold
George Thorogood
1:11
The Steelers ought to take Porter at his word, and call his bluff: “Back injury that has kept you out of camp, practice, and now games? We’d be nuts to extend and give any guaranteed money to a player in the midst of a long-term injury.”
Christopher Carter
1:11
Maybe that's what's going on ...
1:12
As far as a first defensive possession, that's exactly what you want. Your linebackers flying around, stuffing Robinson at every chance, then you collapse a pocket to get the sack.

Good sign to start hot there.
Ken
1:13
Nice starting position.  Now, let's get it rolling!
Hillbilly
1:13
That was 100% a hold, Quaker. I’m surprised his jersey still fits
Bedford
1:13
I figured there be 50 JPJ questions in queue by now.....
Christopher Carter
1:13
Trust me, there are a lot lol
1:14
Rico Dowdle with a nice cut, gets 6 up the middle.

2nd and 4, Aaron Rodgers goes play action and finds a wide open Pat Freiermuth in the flat, he trucks through defenders for 9 yards. 1st down at the 47. #Steelers
1:15
Aaron Rodgers connects with DK Metcalf on a slant for 6 yards.

2nd and 4. Empty set. Rodgers has all day and finds Michael Pittman Jr. on a drag for 21 yards. #Steelers marching at the Falcons' 26.
Hillbilly

Miuuuuth!!
Ken
1:15
Moving the ball around nicely!  Keep it going.
1:16
Scoring position already!
