2014

The playoffs, in all due respects, begin this Sunday. Win the next for games, and we are in the playoffs. Easy formula. The team has looked very good at times, and very bad at times, sometimes in the same game. Four players who once lead a legendary defense that helped win two Superbowls will most likely not be here next year. Will the team rally like it did for 36? Will the team, for the next four games and beyond, be the one that beat the Colts and Ravens, Or the one that lost to Tampa Bay and the Jets? It's December football, and this is where playoff runs start. Will the Steelers rise to the challenge?

I'd love to say that I think they're going to rise to the challenge, but I just haven't seen any fire from the team. They've mostly looked uninterested and complacent, even in the big wins, they just executed better in those games.

I'm longing for the type of Steelers team of old where you could see the fire in their eyes, the determination on their faces, and the drive to win. I haven't seen that in this years team yet, even during the good games.

 

This may help the optimisim

I seen the fire in their eyes against the Colts and Ravens, man you could even see fire coming out of their ar$e. Then, the fire turned to ice against the weakest teams in which the coaches need to be accountable because it just doesn't add up!

 

8 in a row.... I believe.
