What is more likely? We go 19-0 this year or the team has to struggle through:
1. DD injury
2. Mendy injury with IRed showing early nicks.
3. Wallace Drama
4. New Offense
5. Question about Foote in the middle
6. Clark aging and unable to play in Denver; Troy P. in his 30's
7. JH and Worilds not yet at full tilt
8. Gilbert struggling early
9. Questions at CB across for Ike
to name but a few
It is far more realistic to look at this team's barnacles and think there are choppy seas ahead rather than insisting everything is fine and predict a 19-0 record. Saying so doesn't make me a pessimist or chicken little, it makes me a realist with my eyes open. Telling someone their post is ****ing stupid because one doesn't agree with the OP is childish.
I do think the team is talented and I do think the team will be okay in the long run. There are few teams in the league that could overcome such early adversity; the Steelers are one of those teams. However, it is quite possible that this team is primed for a sluggish start and a couple more injuries could easily send the season into the tank. Pointing to the possibility doesn't make me a hater and it certainly doesn't mean I am rooting or hoping for a bad outcome. But some fans won't like to hear it so the response will be to attack the poster instead of looking at the source of the concerns and shedding positive light on how the team might overcome those concerns. Typical.
I guess with that, I won't be really welcome among these parts. Oh well.
