18-1 Baby!!!!

[flippy]

OK, so I've accepted 19-0 isn't gonna happen this season. It's starting to look like 18-1 is in the cards. What you clowns say? Who's down?

Let's go!!!!!!!

It's on like mother humping donkey kong!!!!!

Velasco, Dwyer, and Graham are the missing pieces to the puzzle and we got em now mofos. Can't believe we got em. But we did.

Unstoppable. Don't be late to get on the bandwagon.

I can smell #7 in the air.

History to be made.

Stay tuned!!!

So happy to see optimism! It'worse than a zombie apocalypse around here over one game. I still don't understand why so many even watch when everything the Steelers do make them so miserable. Cheers Flip!

I was a little bummed for a day. But today I woke up refreshed. There's no sense looking back on yesterday. No worrying about tomorrow. Just an opportunity to be great today. Today is our day!!!!

The Bengals should be very worried.

but, but, but, b-b-b-b-b-but what about our crappy........................oh hell...........................GO STEELERS!!!!!!

Love the optimism. Anything can happen but a LOT has to happen for this team to have any success this year.

The offense is totally and completely broken. Sanders dropping balls. Redman putting them on the ground. None of the backs were effective. Line was a sieve. Ben was running for his life. Two offensive players out for the season and another on D. There's really nothing worse than watching a totally inept offense that has no life, no organization, no obvious plan - just floundering. Watching Monday night last night, there was excitement in the air on both teams. A good battle to the end. Our HOME OPENER looked like the team couldn't wait to get into the locker room.

But Ben is still healthy and maybe they can start finding their way. I hope that we can safely say that Monday night against the Bungles can't be worse than this home opener. I also think that the one-game-at-a-time mentality is in full force.

Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you realize it's time to dig yourself out. Were we awful? Yup. Can we get better? Yup. Will we get better? We better.

For sanity's sake, I gotta believe in something.

It's time to believe mofos!!!!!!

We could take this team over and lead the way to 7. Can you play C? How good is your positional flexibility? :)

I would not play Center... not after I saw the way Decastro treats his own linemate.

Maybe we can use you at ILB, CB, or a tackling dummy at QB ;)

I can't fathom how the "next day at the office" must be for DeCastro. Took out the anchor of our line for the season - on a play that looked beyond absurd on tape. Can you imagine how distraught he must be?

Adam Schefter reports: New bank account in Switzerland opened in DD's name on Monday traced to " Mr. RG, NYC". Wonder where all that will lead?? :-)

Sorry Joos. Wasn't feeling the conviction this season. But I'm totally on board with 18-1 as of this week ;)

Flip, you have a rare ability to create optimism when everyone else is purely negative. I'm not trying to be unrealistic and expect us to play offense like the broncos did to the ravens but there is no way this teams offense is THIS bad... Lets do this!!

I just got tired of the all the negative. Now that everyone's gone overboard, I feel like it's time to get back to enjoying the season. Warts and all, I love me some Steelers.

I have to admit... last year I said I would take a Pirates winning season over a Steeler SB.. sorry but it's been that long for the Bucco's. Now that we have 83 wins and the playoffs are in reach I think the Steelers may turn it around. I think we gave them our mojo so they could get over 20 years of misery.

Hopefully a division foe brings out the best in us... it usually does.

The problem is, what is the "best" this team has?

Pappy

[Töm87]

The defense is good enough to win us the AFC North.
Seriously, the Ravens are in a transition year, the Bengals always underachiev and the Browns, well the Browns.
Heck seriously, i am absolutely convinced that 9-7 will win the AFC North. In the playoffs anything is possible anyway.

Based on the week one performance can you find 9 wins on the Steeler schedule? Lets hope week two goes a little better than week one.

I found 15 regular season games we can win on the schedule. That was the whole point of this thread :)

Whoa dizzy!!! No need to trade a SuperBowl for a Pirates winning season. Let's just get both. Actually lets get an MLB, NFL, and NHL championship while we're at it. Heck, even Pitt can win the NCAA tourney. Let's all win :)

I'm still not getting my hopes up on the Buccos just yet. Every time I do, they kick me in the face :)
