MrMister81 473 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 You're normally on the mark Gunny but I think you might be more Tebow than Brady on this one. Yeah, sorry Gun, you and I are often on the same wavelength, but this is just supply and demand at work. And I demand exceptional performance from my football team. Of course, my demands are rarely met, given my team of choice. But nevertheless, I will continue to buy jerseys, hats, coffee mugs, game tickets, the NFL Sunday Ticket, and stale boxes of cereal with a grown man's face on the front. Because it makes me happy.

Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 I just find it hard to believe that grown men are paid like kings to play a game when there are many other, more worthwhile expenditures of that money waiting elsewhere in the world. what, like saving honkys and whales?

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 i actually like pre-season... i like to see the guys that will probably have to step up at some point during the season handle the pressure... starters go thru the motions, the 2nd and 3rd stringers are full of good college players and bench warmers playing hard for a paycheck... it makes for an entertaining affair... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 9, 2013 a bunch of teams are having their preseason games today... mine would be on that list... yea, the games don't matter, but i do want to see how the team will function under the new head coach... i wanna see the style and tempo of the new offense because the defense is gonna be the same swarming turnover machine we've seen for nearly a decade now...

GunSmith 2452 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 Steelers fans are an interesting bunch. Very tenacious in their fanaticism. Every team has those select few fans that bleed their team's colors, but no fanbase is as entertaining as that of the Steelers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Near the end zones? At least we know the Browns will be safe. Steelers fans are an interesting bunch.

Our defense was almost mediocre last season. Flacco will have the chance to prove how good of a QB he is this season. Our new hands players will help him out. You sound like another person who relies on Sports media. These are the same people that said the Ravens wouldn't make it to the SB, much less win it twice.

These are the same people that said the Ravens wouldn't make it to the SB, much less win it twice. If I relied on sports media, then I would call the Ravens a playoff team and Flacco an elite QB. I believe that they had a nice draft and offseason for the future, but the moves they made will not make a positive difference until a couple years from now. I see a defense currently that outside Webb, Suggs, and Ngata is inexperienced and is going to struggle even more than last year. I see an offense that has the best running back duo in the league, but a barely top half QB with only two legitimate targets, who are both above average, but not elite. Oh and as a side note, that 'mediocre defense' from last year carried the team in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
