Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

We’re one episode into HBO’s Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, and it has received good reviews. What are you hoping to see in future episodes?
The Steelers get a rematch against the Browns this Sunday after Week 12’s ugly loss. This time, the game will be in Pittsburgh where Cleveland hasn’t won a regular season game since 2003. How confident are you that the Steelers will win this week?
The Steelers have two defensive players returning from injury this week: Alex Highsmith and Cory Trice Jr. Highsmith is obviously a starter, but Nick Herbig is playing well right now. Trice has proven to be a solid depth piece. How do you think the Steelers handle their outside linebacker and cornerback rotations this week? It’s the first time this year the Steelers have had T.J. Watt, Highsmith, Herbig, and Preston Smith active at once — and the first time since Week 3 that both Highsmith and Herbig have been healthy.

George Pickens was a surprise addition to the injury report this week with a hamstring issue; he is listed as questionable for the Browns game. Can the Steelers’ offense survive without Pickens this season? Why or why not?
Diontae Johnson getting suspended by the Baltimore Ravens this week has the Steelers looking like the definitive winners of the Johnson/Donte Jackson trade from earlier this year. Once considered one of the worst moves of Steelers general manager Omar Khan’s career, now it’s looking like a good one with Jackson near the top of league in interceptions this season. What’s been the best, and worst, move of Khan’s tenure as GM so far?
It’s December, which means Christmas decorations, music, and advertisements are everywhere. When does the Christmas season start for you? I’m generally OK with anytime after Thanksgiving, although I’ve been waiting to start listening to Christmas music as it gets on my nerves after a week or two. But I am open to good holiday music recommendations…

BONUS: Ryan has started sharing his song of the night when does these, so I figured I’d start as well. Spotify Wrapped dropped earlier this week, and this was apparently my top song this year:

So, settle down for the weekend, share your food and drink of choice, and let’s talk some football.
