P.s. I still find your altered name hilarious. What he said... it's nice to hear nice things. It was also nice to get on the board and not see ten threads about the Steelers losing that game. I didn't have time to watch it so I dunno what happened but pre season is pre season. (I also find the altered name quite humorous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even heard the outcome of any Steeler game. It is irrelevent of course what the outcome was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 thanks for the good words about the browns BUNS. that being said: i'll never feel sorry for the steelers. they always find a way to compete for the division crown year in and year out. to all those who didn't see it the thirty second espn blurb about the steelers preseason game vs. washington was how 'concerned' steeler nation must be about their OL. it's preaseason, geeez.

If history is anything to go by there certainly may be reason for "concern" IF you are a Steeler fan. After their Super Bowl in 2005 they went 8-8 the next year and missed the playoffs. After their Super Bowl in 2008 they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Those were years after they won. Not two weeks ago I posted the fate of the Super Bowl losers of the last 20 years. Here is what that looks like: Here is the fate of the Super Bowl losers for the last 20 years in the year following their Super Bowl lost: 1991 Bills lost the Super Bowl 1992 Bills lost the Super Bowl 1993 Bills went 7-9 no playoffs 1994 Chargers went 9-7 no playoffs 1995 Steelers went 10-6 lost in Division round 1996 Patriots went 10-6 lost in Division round 1997 Packers went 11-5 lost in Wild Card round 1998 Falcons went 5-11 no playoffs 1999 Titans went 13-3 lost in Division round 2000 Giants went 7-9 no playoffs 2001 Rams went 7-9 no playoffs 2002 Raiders went 4-12 no playoffs 2003 Panthers went 7-9 no playoffs 2004 Eagles 6-10 no playoffs 2005 Seahawks 9-7 lost Division round 2006 Bears 7-9 no playoffs 2007 Patriots 11-5 but missed playoffs 2008 Cardinals 10-6 lost Division round 2009 Colts 10-6 lost in Wild card round 2010 Steelers ??? So, notice, Super Bowl losers don't fare that well. Again, I am just point out the historical trends here. Whether or not that trend holds up with this year's Steelers, of course, remains to be seen.

OldColt Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Colt looked really good. I kept telling my Browns buddy to watch out for Colt this year. I seriously dislike the squeelers and ratbirds, so I'll be pulling for the Browns in the division. It's been WAY too long for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha HA ..by the way Colt STILL Getting it done. Up and Downs ahead , but he is for real. As far as an Arrogant Steeler Prick... ha ha we have a few of them. Many others feel fortunate to have had so many good seasons. Hopefully this is another one. Actually Hope you guys make a playoff Run as well. Time to Turn up the Rivalry again.

I Agree... complatency NOT an option in Todays NFL. Team Rise Fast and Fade without warning. Better be focused. The Steelers SHOULD Know better by now . We seen it twice the past few yrs.
