Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

The big news this week, of course, was the Steelers’ trade deadline acquisitions of Preston Smith and Mike Williams. Do these additions move the needle at all for you regarding your season predictions? Not at all? Somewhere in between?
What kind of season does Mike Williams need to have for you to consider the trade a success?
Same question, but with the Preston Smith trade.
Did you take Week 9 off from football like the Steelers, or did you still tune in to the weekend’s games?
With the trade deadline past, the next trend of roster move predictions is right around the corner: way-too-early draft season. At first glance, what do you think will be the Steelers’ biggest roster need entering 2025?
This year’s first College Football Playoff poll was released on the same day as the trade deadline. Are you a fan of the new 12-team playoff bracket?

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