Hello. My name is JMM and I'm a Steelers Fan
Its been over 20 hours since I last watched the Steelers.
What the hell happened this season? Seems like it just started a couple weeks ago, next thing you know its over. I figured they would fold up like a cheap suit after Ben went down but the season got exciting. I was more into this season watching them over perform than probably the previous 10 or so seasons. They were playing great D, controlling the ball with a decent running game, simple passing game, decent special teams (they even scored on a punt return!) and playing overall very well as a team. No distractions, no big egos, seemed like we would finally have a season without all the crap,,then there was the game in Cleveland. They came out flat and then the debacle at the end brought all the crap pouring back in. Fortunate they didn't derail at the time. They got back on track and were playing good ball again. We had Duck Mania! At 8-5, like most of you I figured they were a lock to make the playoffs, then the bottom fell out. Seems like they were flat against the Bills but I figured they would stomp the Jets, after that didn't happen I thought they would somehow pull out some magic against the Rats backups...No such luck...
At the time of Ben's injury if you told me we'd be 8-5 and have a shot at the playoffs I'd have been friggin ecstatic but with the 3 game slide and once again missing the playoffs, I'm feeling low and disappointed after watching them play above expectations for a good chunk of the season. No cure to fix the problem, not placing blame on anyone, just "talking" it out and grateful for this forum. Much less expensive than therapy.
