Mark Madden: It takes a cockeyed optimist to like Steelers’ chances
If you’re thinking rationally, you know the Steelers’ chances of significant accomplishment this season lie in a bloody heap.
Being 0-3 is the head of the spear. Ben Roethlisberger being out for the year twists the knife.
Either of those facts bodes poorly. Combine them, and it’s time to get an Uber to Palookaville. No return trip.
But what fun is thinking rationally?
Optimism springs eternal, or at least until about 11:30 p.m. Monday.
After all, the Steelers acquired Ronnie Lott Jr. (Minkah Fitzpatrick) to play free safety.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph stunk in his first NFL start. But you’re pretending he didn’t, and instead gave cause for optimism despite completing only two passes beyond the line of scrimmage. (I know, I know … both were touchdowns. Huzzah.)
There’s not much wrong with the Steelers except the offensive line, running back, tight end, wide receiver, the QB situation, being 0-3, and terrible coaching that, for example, can’t construct a passable defense out of 10 first-round draft picks.
Oh, and the defense itself. Almost forgot.
One thing works in the Steelers’ favor: The AFC North is excrement. It’s what about-ism at its best: “We stink, but they stink worse.”
If you’d like to believe the season isn’t dead, go ahead. The voices of reason and reality get kicked in the crotch every day, and not just with sports.
But even the window of false optimism is rapidly closing. The only way to legitimize positive expectations is to win the next two games: Cincinnati this coming Monday at Heinz Field, then Baltimore the following Sunday, also at home.
If the Steelers win those two games, they will be 2-3. The best any other AFC North team could be is 3-2. Pittsburgh would be on flame with rock and roll.
Cincinnati (0-3) seems the easy part.
The Steelers are favored by four. I bet the Bengals feel real good about that.
