I know that's tongue in cheek, but let's look at the bigger picture for a moment...
Somebody has to do it before that crotchety old fuckhead Shula kicks off, and he's looking pretty rough these days...
What better franchise to finally do it than the Pittsburgh Steelers - and no, not just because I'm a fan writing this on a Steelers message board.
It's the perfect storm a-brewin' in Steeltown, and I really have a special feeling about this year...
Ben's not as stupid as he appears...he's bought in completely to Haley's system and he's having a ball getting his off-season jollies just fucking with the media (and us!).
Since his major hurdle has been removed, and he'll have a much improved OL in front of him, this is FINALLY the year.
Next March, his name will be heard in the mix of all the talking-head conversations about GOAT QBs.
And Mrs. 7 and a little more maturity will keep him grounded so he doesn't fuck up next offseason...
With the offense stepping into the elite zone, there's absolutely no reason that our defense can't improve statistically over last year.
Hell, there's no chance of them improving their rank of #1...
Also, people keep saying "barring injury..." but even our backups could bring something special.
Case in point: If Sanders has his customary half-season hiatus due to injury, I fully expect Cotchery to step in and at least take up the slack quite nicely...
Hampton...McClendon...Ta'amu...another good example of a lot of potential depth at a position of concern going into the off-season...
So HELL YEAH! I'm witchu...19-0
...with everything I'm layin' on the line by posting this, I have no problem being so bold...
