Sport Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Steelers fans think all their players are super special boys touched by football angels simply by being deemed worthy of the hypocycloids*. Canada wasn't great, but he got all the blame because Steelers fans don't know how to reckon with a bad team. He was clearly calling an offense that had to work with a limited personnel set. It's going to be evident the rest of the season with Canada gone that Kenny Pickett and the o-line were the real problems. *I don't even blame them for thinking that - 30+ years of conditioning watching every Pluggy Plug show up and turn into pro-bowlers would do that to you. Of course they expected Kenny Pickett to be good - the Steelers chose him. They had no reason to think otherwise. Even this season is more of the same charmed luck. They've played 10 games and seen maybe one good QB? They still have two games left against Jake Browning. That's a 3-7 football that has 6 wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if this goes as expected, the Lions have the inside track at #1, and Dallas controls their destiny for the East, so Eagles could fall to #5. Nothing about last night’s game tells me that the Eagles aren’t going to walk away with the 1 seed again. We keep talking about this gauntlet schedule, but it’s nonsense. They played the Chiefs, on the road, played POORLY, and won. Am I supposed to think the Bills have a shot in Philly? With Josh Allen playing like that? The 49ers are only a juggernaut IF they’re healthy and are always one injury away from regressing to the mean. That game is a coin flip at best. Ironically, Dallas is the biggest threat to the Eagles’ domination, and they would still be one game back if they won. Detroit goes 14-3? Great. Philly could wind up 15-2. As a Cowboys fan, last night’s outcome was killer. We could win out and be the 5 seed. The Chiefs game was the best opportunity for Philly to stumble but Brett Veach is a cheapskate and Chris Jones is a baby, so the greatest quarterback of this generation has to throw to bargain basement wideouts.

The_Admiral Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I don't know how they're gonna get by the Eagles, but the Lions, who are eschewing wunderkind-coach conventions by just having a big loud dumb guy tell everyone to try hard, have all the makings of a team that gets to the Super Bowl and loses. It's like the football version of the Doin' It All With A Hot Goalie. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Houston Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 To echo McCarthy's point, Steelers fans aren't used to the suck anymore. When your franchise hasn't gone through a sustained period of crap, you forget how spoiled you've been and how sports aren't designed for the same seven or eight teams to be stalwarts, winning divisions and fighting for titles. I'm living it now with the Sharks and although I bitched about rooting for a bridesmaid team, I'll admit that years of no postseason activity is worse than I expected. Quote "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 as a Patriots fan I've been well aware for years how much I've been spoiled but that doesn't make learning the lesson after years any less painful, though I will say I'd much rather my team be bad and know they're bad than spend years drowning in mediocrity with no end in sight, like the Steelers - for example - are doing now. It's having clear potential and failing to live up to it that's more frustrating, and it's the false hope of "maybe we'll finally fix things" that hurts the most. Obviously, I'm not one to complain in regards to the patriots, but I think it rings true to other aspects of life too.

The_Admiral Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The Steelers don't even suck! They could easily win the next five in a row. Wouldn't amount to much even if they did, but it looks good. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hopefully 3 good football games tonight 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Just realized that this is the first time I’ve had a rooting interest in all three Thanksgiving games. Unfortunately I’ll be driving during the night one, but should be able to listen to it. Also just realized that the Eagles, already struggling to win games, have to play the 49ers after they have a mini-bye, and then Dallas, also after a mini-bye. I don’t think there’s any malice when it comes to scheduling (other than KC having 17 home games), but that’s a tough break. Can’t see them winning either of those games.

They keep on winning every game. Your reverse jinx is working so far. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
