For the first time in my life, I want the Steelers to lose

Yep, I want the Browns to beat us. I've never once in my life cheered against the Steelers, but there's a first time for everything.

No, I don't want a higher draft pick, although that is an added bonus. I want the Browns to beat us to really shine a light on how bad this season was and how bad things have gotten. This team is a train wreck this year and changes need to be made. Simply missing the playoffs may or may not be a wakeup call to our coaches. Every team has bad years from time to time. Getting swept by the Browns would definitely shine a light on this teams failures. True, it's only the difference of 1 win or loss, but like Hines Ward said in his interview, getting swept by the Browns is absolutely unacceptable. So in my eyes, that's what needs to happen because changes are needed, and I think big changes. I won't get into what those changes are in this thread, there's been enough of those threads already.

Anyway, with that said, I will still be cheering for the Steleers come game day, because I simply don't know any other way to watch Steelers football. The difference is that if they end up losing, a big part of me will be glad. I know that seems odd, but the mental part of me wants the Steelers to lose to expose this team, but the emotional side of me wants them to win, like always. So I'll be cheering for them come game day, but I won't be upset if they lose, I'll be somewhat happy.

Here's to next year...

Don't worry, come kickoff I will cheering just as hard for the Steelers as I always do, but once the game is over, if they lose, a part of me will be happy. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, and getting swept by the Browns feels like rock bottom to me, even if it changes nothing in the Rooney's eyes.

They accepted losing for their first 40 years, I doubt one bad season is going to phase them.

I actually agree with you. Sure the frontoffice knows they failed this year. Personally, I believe that they are so used to people talking about how good they are and howtalented they are that they forgot how much hard work it takes to win. What better wakeup call than to be swept by the Browns to show them that they need to get stronger, practce harder and be more physical than the other team. Honestly, they were pushed around in more than one game this year as well as last year.

So what would be the benefit of getting beat? So the front office really knows it?
