The irony

[steelnavy]

Saw some quotes from Suggs that the Steelers "play like us, are tough like us," etc... like the Ratbirds came about that style of play on their own. While the Steelers get ready for the season, the Rats talk about the Steelers all off season, game plan specifically for them, and even draft certain players just to try and beat them.

Not taking anything away from Flaccos play the other night, but he has sucked this season except for playing against the Steelers, which shows that he probably studies and practices harder before playing them.

As much as they don't want to admit it, they are the little brother in the equation that is always trying to get out of his older siblings shadow.

Re: The irony

That's what I said after week one. They are built to beat the Steelers. Proof is in how they play everyone else. They can have their regular season super bowls, the Steelers like the official ones.

We usually have to play them 3 times to get to a SB... Not sure it's a bad thing to be built to win your division when your rival is pretty much the standard for winning SB's.

If the Rats can't beat us the chances of winning a SB are slim. Same goes for us...

The problem with the Rats is they get up to beat us and the Pats and that's about it.

Not sure we are built to beat everyone else since we spend a lot of time complaining about not beating the good teams. Looking at other teams it seems like most are built to beat the best team in their division.
