That will be interesting to see what the offense looks like and how much influence and control Rodgers has.
No there really isn't any difference, not the way you do it. You can be insufferable at times. Not as bad as Lloyd or Kentucky but close. I've tried several times to make peace with you and admitted to being too quick to anger, and you always just spit in my face, that makes you the douche bag. I may not be perfect and say thing in anger but for ****'s sake man I am not the only one who gets sick of the constant negativity and loses it once in a while.
Who knows. We have the hardest schedule in the league again after week 11 according to some. Not as brutal as last year but we will see. I can see us going anywhere from 5 wins to Super Bowl. I am hoping the Aaron can do just enough to allow A Denver Manning like end to his career.
Is there really much difference draft wise between 7 wins and 9 or 10? We would have to be really bad for it to matter much, and I don't see that happening no matter who is QB. 7 wins last year was still the 12th pick 6 wins was 11th pick. there were a lot of bad teams.
You can apologize to me for calling me a hater and telling me to go root for another team when I suggested Pickett was not the long term answer and we can bury the hatchet, that’s where it started
Bingo
Well, we drafted heavily on the defensive line which was the weak link this year when Cam was out. We got a QB that hopefully can utilize the middle of the field. He can at least see over the line. I am hopeful. But I always am.
I still remember Ben saying he could not audible in most situations or at all and also saying he had to throw short of the sticks on 3rd down because Canada called it.
I apologized a long time ago for being a dick during the games to you and you reacted with pure disdain. Why should I bother doing it again? Why do you feel you have a monopoly on the truth? Talk about holier than thou. You have no respect for my opinions why should I respect yours and take them as fact? Am I not allowed to be optimistic? It isn't healthy to be so angry about something you have no control over.
Also I have no recollection of saying that specific thing to you. But then I am old and can barely remember my name some days. You are like a wife who can't remember what I said yesterday but can bring up an argument from 30 years ago and never lets it go. If I offended you, I am sorry. I will buy you a beer if we ever meet. Then we can call each other names face to face like things should be done.
Fair enough.
Iron City? Can't stomach it anymore. Tastes like the river. I drink one I.C. Light per visit just for tradition.
I’m an IC Light guy too- saying Iron City just sounds cooler, but I only drink it when I’m in town for a home game, there’s one thing we agree on already
In 2024 (2025 draft) 7 wins was draft pick 12, 9 wins draft pick 17 and 10 wins was draft picks 18 through 21 and 25 and 26, so yes potentially quite a difference between 7 and 10 wins, especially if the 10 regular season wins is followed by a playoff win. Given 32 teams and 17 games played, there is going to be roughly 2.5 draft picks per win (given that less than 3 and more than 15 wins are outliers).
We know the odds of winning the SB with our HC in place is extremely long odds. I say that as more of a statement than trying to be negative. When you put that out there I think for me I just hope for the best case scenario for watching a game. Within that I feel they should upgrade the team whenever they can. I do realize that comes within different levels and different outcomes but I hope that every game is watchable and not cringey like that late season collapse. Which was painful and embarrassing.
It's not about finding another team to root for. What I do not understand is if people truly believe some of the accusations made here, what is the point of being a Steeler fan? I'm not saying you made this accusation, but I have read a number of times people state it is all about the money for Rooney. He does not care about winning, just the money. That is about as tough an accusation as can be made about an owner of a sports franchise. If true about Rooney, we have to be the dumbest fans in the world.
I think he cares about winning to a degree. That degree is just based on profit more than ring desire.
Please know I'm not judging anyone's fandom. But for me, maybe I have my head in the sand, but if I thought that, there is no point. Might as well go fishing. I gotta believe the first goal is to win.
But they are winning to a degree some fans are ok with that to different degrees.
We fully don’t accept him as head coach!
Fishing does have a lot less stress. Truth is I was that obsessed guy in the '90s. A health scare that thank God didn't turn out to be what they thought in the early 2000s changed my perspective. A month after they lost to Tennessee in the playoffs with that damn offsides on the field goal and I'm throwing everything off my front porch into the street...sleds, chairs... I'm laid out in a hospital. What am I doing? So I've done a lot more fishing in the fall. Football season for me really gets going in earnest in November.
