Deja Vu

[Cinnjerm3000]

Perhaps it's all the talk of the Shemitah on the internet recently that has me reflecting on the past, but thinking back, this coming season seems eerily similar to the team's 2008 campaign.

So hear me out, starting in the 2006 [2013], the bottom fell out so to speak. The team started the season going 2-6 and ended that year going 6-2 gaining momentum heading into the off-season. The following year 2007 [2014] the team builds on the moment they built from the previous season finishing 10-6 [11-5] and capturing a division title. As was the case in both seasons, the team ultimately lost at home in the divisional round of the playoffs. Now we arrive to today with the 2015 season at hand. Just as it was in the 2008 season, the team has been gifted with the league's toughest schedule which, of all things, once again features a trip to Foxborough to face a Patriots team without its starting quarterback.

Here's hoping that history, even if at no other time, truly does repeat itself.

Interesting...

I have that same feeling as well.

O.k. so if all of this is true someone is gonna have to take one for the team and have a baby then. It seems to me that there was on the board who's wife was with child that year.

I'd be willing to step up and do my part, but my wife says 4 kids is enough.

Oh, and just another peculiar congruency to throw at you, in 2008 the team's backup QB Charlie Batch was hurt in a preseason game which hastened the signing of a washed-up former starter (one Byron Leftwich). Flash forward to today and...LOL, you get the picture.

Thanks for your willingness to do your part

I must admit that I had to look up what Shemitah was.

I'm sorry. My son was born in '08, but, it ain't happening again...

I will gladly send a cigar in celebration...but I bow out of the birthing process.

My son is starting high school this fall and my daughter is starting middle school. I'm done.

Sr. in College, and a Jr. & Sr. in high school. I'd rather slit my scroat with a rusty pair of tree trimmers before having another kid at this point.

Go Steelers!

That might have been me. My sister and I were born in championship years. My first child in 2005, again in 2008, and again in 2010. I don't know what went wrong in 2010, but anyway, the factory is closed.

My wife can never see this thread.

Oh great! Our hopes lie in your family spawning offspring.
We've got to wait for your grandkids to arrive, its the 80-90s drought all over again which happened because you selfishly chose not to be a teen daddy.
