    Blake Bortles in the 4th qtr of our playoff game, where he scored 17 points says hello.

      You are doing it again

      Cap just said he didn’t call our 2017 pass defense great so pointing out 2017 is irrelevant.

        What does that have to do with Tomlins league leading pass defenses. 2017 was not one of those seasons.
        You are GREAT at winning aguments people arent making my friend.

        If what you are saying is that this proves you sometimes need to "dig deeper" no argument.

        Just "dig deeper" in those years we were actually number one, rather than use an irrelevant example.
        Fact is YOU CANT because if you dig deeper in those seasons......you will only find MORE backing for my contention.

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

        TCFCLTC-
        The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

            Dig deeper?
            NO TEAM IN HISTORY has been number 1 in defensively in total yards, rush yards, pass yards, and (most importantly) scoring. It has NEVER happened.

            The closest team EVER to ranking first in those 4 categories in one season?

            2008 Steelers:
            Number one in total yardage D, scoring D, passing D, and number 2 in rushing D by a mere 50 yards.

              This is my favorite looking one, but it's nice to have the description of what it means in the image too.

                My dear sir, it appears you miss the very essence of the lyrical masterpiece I have shared.
                Do you not realize that the entire point of the composition PRESUPPOSES that said singer was "unappreciated" (NOT liked) to start with.
                Therefore, application of the song to myself implies that my original contention was in fact "not liked".

                With the aid of the artist "Kool Mo Dee" I thus contend that the passage of time has in fact, proved my contention correct.

                In the spirit of uninhibited braggadocio I proclaim my intellectual victory with the cleverly worded yet grammatically incorrect expression-
                "How you like me NOW."

                    If you actually knew the meaning of the expression "condescending intellectual" (clearly cut and pasted from from my post like a trained baboon) you would not take offense at my comments.

                      I'm probably missing something here, but just to be sure: I'm not actually offended just trying to play along.

                        Really North? Are you that dense?

                        Do you fail to grasp that my superior intellect makes it easy for me to understand your pathetic attempt at humor?

                        Must I ALWAYS include a little picture of a smiley face just so your child like mind can understand that I KNOW YOU ARE JUST PLAYING ALONG and that I was not serious in my reply?

                        OK here you go

                              I prefer "How You Like Me Now?" by The Heavy.
                              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
