We get our *** kicked by Buffalo, fans, radio shows, ex players are calling for Tomlin to go, it's time, blah, blah, and everything else.
Now we beat Baltimore with a less than 100% Lamar, where we give up 420 yards to them, lost the Time of Possession by 7 minutes, were out gained something like 200-10 in the 4th qtr and won because of a dumb rule, I know it's the rule and we won.
Then beat a 6-7 team in the cold that never wins in the cold and a QB that never wins in the cold and a team that quit.

Now there are fans calling and radio shows saying we can beat anyone, we have the best QB in the AFC playoff race, saying we're playing the best football in years, Tomlin saved his job and the fire Tomlin chants were premature.

So after those two wins suddenly we can beat anyone, we're playing better than we have in 7 or 8 years, Tomlin saved his job??? It's not like we kicked the Eagles *** then turned around and beat down Denver, we beat two teams that aren't even in the playoffs.

That’s why we’re called fans which is actually short for fanatics, whether on the negative side or on the positive side.
There’s very few sports talk show callers that are not fanatics and are considered casual sports fans, who can be more objective.
It’s all part of what makes sports an entertainment industry
It will always be that way

It's hope. Because at the end of the day, regardless of all the biitching and moaning, the realization sets in that all of that does nothing. All of that will change nothing. So you are left with two options. Continuing misery is one. Hoping that maybe they found a little something is the other. I tend to lean the latter. It's more fun.
 
I don't believe in nit picking wins. I don't hope for loses. I'd put them at 60 percent to make the playoffs. Id put them at 30-40 percent to win a playoff game. I'd put it at 80 percent the Steelers pick up the '27 option. It's all out of my control. But I do believe it will be his last contract because they don't have a long term qb and they keep having the same draft at 20 result.
 
Coryea, take a wiff, smell that? That is hopium. We are exposed to it every time the team head fakes us into thinking they might have a chance.

The best thing you can do as a Steelers fan is to NOT inhale it in your lungs. It worked for Bill Clinton.

I have found that if you do accidentally inhale, and start to think they might have a chance, just wait a few weeks till the side effects subside.

Shortly after they get boat raced by a better team you will start to recover.

yeah, but it's not like we went to Philly and dominated them, then turned around and crushed Buffalo at home, we beat two teams that aren't even playoff teams and people are running around like we're unstoppable.

I would say you would have to be a very dedicated, patient, and ultimately disappointed fanatic

LOL, well I mean where every little win makes you think you're going all the way. :)

Love the analogies and yes very correct.

The Miami game was a gimme, the only thing that made it a concern was which Steelers team was going to show up.

Had the weather been more favorable for the dolphins it also makes it more favorable for the STeelers.

Regardless it is a win and was a predicted win by many, before the season even began.

Yes momentum counts and this win is a part of that.

Detroit will be a better testament to the actual state of the team.



Salute the nation
