Man, this hurts!

So you make a whole post saying that it’s warranted to be critical and yet you’re not even sure if you’re correct about the last seven years which is the whole basis of your post? You might want to redo that mask bro.

 

Steelers had the week off. Clearly their bickering fans did not.

 

Does he need vagisil, tissues, or both?

 

Midol?

 

I can handle the adversity. It's the stupidity that really bothers me.

 

I've seen them all and lived through the great times (been to two of the Super Bowls O'donnell's gift and Ben's miracle) and the **** times but I've never seen our teams so undisciplined, playing down to opponents and now just looking outmatched like I've seen the last 5 years or more with Tomlin.

 

You sir are a broken record. And you’re still dismissing everything that’s transpired over the last 5 years. Shazier, bell, brown, Ben… and ignoring how young we are offensively.

 

That’s what the fanboys don’t get things are getting progressively worse and now here we are. One of if not the worst team in the NFL. It’s not a one year thing it’s a culmination of events for many seasons. Yes we were a dynasty in the 70s and won 2 with Ben which is a lot better than most fans for sure but doesn’t mean we should be happy with how things are now.

 

Check you out blaming O’Donnell for holiday’s gaffe. Flip flop much

 

I can handle it all. I tend to focus on things I can control.

 

Things will get better. Give it time.

 

I say this all the time.

 

You never answered my question, but provided an anecdote about your pops that didn't answer the question. I'm not dismissing anything, I just believe this team has underperformed based on the talent they have had over the last 10 years. If its soft to expect more than just a winning season with the talent we've had, I say it's called high expectations which aligns with the Organization's stated objective.

 

They never do. Just about every post turns into a Tomlin bashfest by some. Rinse and repeat 1000s of times.

 

Flip Flop?? How's that'. Wasn't it Andre Hastings that had the hot route and he did and he broke in and Neil threw out? Holiday wasn't the hot route.

 

High expectations isn’t the problem. It’s some fans unrealistic expectations.

 

Way to ignore the point, but why would I expect anything else from Mr sunshine & butterflies. This is the worst steelers team in history. You can't dispute that.

 

I can and will dispute that. That’s why I told you go back and check your mouth bro.

 

What year are you referring to specifically that they underperformed? Typically fans like you be talking out the side of they mouth when they make generalized statements like that...never taking into consideration how injuries can change the trajectory of a season while also totally discrediting the talent that's on the other side of the field. It's like you can't figure out where to stick your thumb so you just stick it everywhere.

Theres only one season where I can legitimately say they underperformed and that's 2017 when they lost to the Jaguars. Now tell me which year you're referring to or are you gonna stick with the last 10 years it's in entirety?? You mean including the year where Duck and Mason QB'd the whole year?? You mean that year also??

 

So are you disputing that the last steelers postseason win was during the 2016 season? Are you disputing that the Steelers have had 3 postseason games in 6 seasons and lost all 3 to inferior teams? (yes I'm counting this season cause this team won't sniff postseason this year). Are you disputing that this is the longest stretch without a postseason win for the Steelers in the superbowl era? Are you disputing that this team may have the worst record for the steelers in the superbowl era? That one isn't fact yet but definitely trending that way.

The facts don't lie and this is a historically bad steelers team over the past 7 years. Never been worse during my lifetime. What exactly are you disputing?

 

I’m disputing that this is the worst Steelers team in history.

 

Based on what exactly?

I'm basing my comment on results. And at the end of day, that is what matters - results, wins, championships. And this team is currently in their worst postseason win drought ever in SB era.

If you think otherwise, than what is your basis? Moral victories, cool cliches, excuses, character, champions of life? If you disagree, than what 7 year stretch in steelers history was worse then?

 

That's easy.
1985-1991
Overall record: 50-60
3 winning seasons
1 playoff appearance with 1 win.

The seven year stretch with one year not even half way over you're talking about.
2016-2022
Overall record: 62-33-2
6 winning seasons
4 playoff appearances with 2 wins

 

Stop SG, you're making too much sense.

 

Knox, you can’t argue with this…

Meet Queen Polyanna…she wears rose colored glasses. You will be banished from her kingdom forever if you dare criticize the crown prince of mediocrity and failure. Those “of our ilk” have no right to complain in this kingdom of (to steal your phrase) sunshine and butterflies.
