    fact? cinci, really!! no I don't live in canton either and it's not all that close to Cleveland. the real ocean is on the other side of fla. too. LOL HS football, well just about anywhere in the state you can find some good football. that is a fact. I lived in homestead for a couple of years and worked in Miami. head on down to them keys sometime and do some good fishing, you can have the gulf and atlantic on either side of the road.;) that's a good time down there. :cool:

    naw, key west as you say is ok, but we usually go to Islamorada and fish for mahi mahi out about 26 miles. it's a kick back and relax place. back in the early 80's Miami was a rockin spot. plenty to do there. scuba, naw, sharks in that ocean. I figure why leave a perfectly good boat. LOL:smiley1::cool:

    i figure why drive 8 hours to key west or marathon or isamorada to catch a mahi mahi when i can walk to the local sports bar .. order one and a beer for about 10 bucks and never have to bait a hook or clean it .. if u ever get to CW check out rudys steelers sports bar... they line up hundreds people on a steelers sunday ... they count off 360 and they get in .. the rest go back to the card and tailgate.. how they get away with all the drinkng in the parking lot i have no clue .. but then again it is florida and not a lot of rules in florida.. mahi mahi forever,,,, grouper never ..

    Fair (8-8), BAD (6-10), or Happy season (10-6)?

    This :huh:, this :facepalm:, or this :smiley1:?

    I too agree all of the above are possibilities.

    i think 16 points ( well 20) will determine if we are 6-10 or 10-6... what im guessing is if we could add 16 points to any games any combination we want we could tie at least 4 games.. given 20 points we could move 4 games from losers to winners.. just my guess ... last season we lost one game by 2 pts.. one by 3 points.. one by 6 and two by 7... one by 10 and got blown out twice.. so use 13 points on the bottom 3 games and we are 11-5 ... thats why i say no one can predict the amount of wins we are going to have and 16 points could easily be the difference in 10-6 and 6 and 10 or even 11-5 or 5 and 11... to recap we lost 3 games by 10 or more.. we won 6 of our 8 games by 10 or more ... which is impressive they we got blown out 3 times and blew the other team out 6 time (just using 10 as a "blow out" which is quite low for a "blow out".... i thikn a blow out is really more of a 17 point win.. ... sorry i rambled.... we are in myrtle beach this week and had a few drinks at dinner .. but you guys get the point.. so few points can turn a season totally around..

    looking at 2012 and our 8-8 season .. amazingly 5 of our losses were by 3 points (once in OT) .. 5 loses by 15 points in 2012.. only one loss in 2012 by more then 10 points.. again .. how can we predict wins or losses when 20 more points in 2012 could have had us finish 13-3... predicting the steelers w/l season is a total crap shoot.. fun... but no rhyme or reason to it .. just a blind guess ... to my point.. we are competitive.. in 90% of the games .. but hardly a super bowl contender or dominant team ...

    I think your numbers highlight the point that many who predict success are making - this is not a team that needed a complete roster overhaul to be successful. A few improvements in a few key areas that change the course of a few plays in a few games is all we need to be a 10+ win team in 2014. I can certainly see it coming together that way, and I expect us to be playing for the division title week 17. Once you get into the playoffs, anything is possible. The most dominant team in the regular season doesn't always prevail in the end. In fact, last year was an aberration with both #1 seeds playing in the Super Bowl. There have been plenty of instances in recent years in which the Super Bowl winner was anything but dominant during the regular season, but caught fire in the post season. I'd agree with you that we don't have the makings of a dominant team, but I think we're very much a contender.

    case in point,,, of a non dominant team winning the SB,,, seems a team that wears black and gold won a SB not too long ago from a wild card seed..so u r 10000% right,, once u get to the playoof anything is possible... f -ing bungals might even win a PO game something (but i hope its NOT in my lifetime ) hahaah

    No no no.... let's not get crazy here. Teams like the Bengals are cursed to tease their fans with a few years of fringe contention every decade or two, but a playoff win for them? Not likely :roflmao:
