Thanks for owning your hatred. Of course, we’ve had sucky teams. I’m proud of being a loyal fan during the sucky times. Who’s pretending we’ve never been lousy?

@tedmurph …

You know exactly why I posted that comment, Mr. Denial. For lessons in how to own your hatred, see eggersthejerk.

Thanks for the respect HATERS!

Nobody hates your team when they suck.

That’s not true at all. Just another Stooler fan rationalization.

I’ve hated the Steelers since 1977 and there have been several years during that time when the Steelers were not a good team.

If you don’t wanna believe that, try checking out what they did in the years 1981, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1991, 1999, 2003, and 2006. All these years they had an 8-8 record or worse. I could also list other years during this span where the team went 9-7 and missed the playoffs (there were a few seasons like that) and I can honestly tell you even when they went 5-11 in 1988 I still hated them, although I was also very happy at just how bad they were, too.

A lot of Steeler fans need to get over themselves.

Thanks for another objective commentary on the Steelers and their fans. Did you even read the comments? You are some piece of work. I can’t imagine having that much hate over a football team.

Of course, the Broncos did have moments of serendipity go in their favor last season, particularly in the Bears game. But the Steelers played right into their hands. What Troy calls confusion, I’m more inclined to call arrogance. I just don’t think my guys gave a Tebow-led Denver enough respect … and they paid for it.

Love to see the NFL eating itself. Unions unfailingly kill their golden goose every time and 14 times every Sunday.

And try to blame it on concussions, that they’re not in their right mind.

Right.

Don’t mind at all. Happy to see it.

The reason Brady was able to score so much was because the pats defense got off the field. And Tom Brady’s 6-2 record against the steelers isn’t bad.

His specialty is the 13-9 win? I seem to remember him out-dueling Aaron Rodgers (who I think is probably the best in the NFL now) a few seasons ago.

500 yards on a Packers defense that was ranked 1st against the pass when they played each other.

He can definitely sling the ball when he’s getting enough protection…or at least enough room to run and make plays.

Second, the broncos did win but it’s not like they lit up the defense. Denver only had 131 rushing with. 3.9 average. That’s significantly less than Denver’s season average per game.

Tebow completed less than 50% and aside from that 1 play in OT didn’t do much Passing. He completed just 10 passes.

What Denver proved last year was how dependent most teams are on gameplan an tricking their opponents as opposed to good execution and basics.

All Denver did last year was play good fundamental football with a few tricks thrown in and it was enough to make the playoffs. Most teams aren’t prepared anymore for a team that honestly lines up and just tries to out block you.

Nobody hates your team when they suck.

First of all, why should a 12-4 team EVERY have to go on the road to play an 8-8 team? Ridiculous.

Ryan Clark couldn’t play because of his sickle cell trait. Casey Hampton went down with a knee injury. Brett Keisel went down with a knee injury. Ben was still hobbled with an ankle. Several of Tebow’s prayers were answered that day.

It’s over. The Steelers lost. It’s on to a new season and new opportunities.

GO STEELERS!

All the more reason to laugh at the Steelers for laying that big fat speckled egg like they did.
Yep, great team they got there………
