You beat good teams, but you always play in a weak division. Anyways, glad you got the Rats.

"Raiders suck" is a meme in Broncos nation we get good vibes from. They do exemplfy being both dirty and terrible. I give you that
What's wrong with what he said? Unless I'm missing something?
It sounded like he meant that the guy he was quoting should have more confidence in his team. At least that's what I think he was saying by calling him "defeatist".

Also you can't say we have an easy division and guaranteed wins when the broncos have only lost 1 division game in the last 3 years.

Yeah really.
Never understood why you guys trip over yourselves to say the team is gonna lose. Be positive. I have the same doubts but fuck it, riding till the wheels fall off.
What's the point of lying to myself and everyone on the forum if I honestly believe we're not going to make it to the SB? Me being upbeat isn't going to make the Steelers a better team. Did I want the Steelers to win? Hell yes. Did I think they'd get very far without Bell, or with two rookie RBs and someone we picked up a few days before the game to anchor our running game, and an inconsistent pass rush on top of a putrid secondary? Not really...
Edit: Having said that, I'm not even sure if I'm hopeful for our defense next season. We're going to be without Polamalu, Kiesel, Harrison and Ike Taylor as we should be - and I don't think the Steelers should or will give Worilds a ton of money. He's too inconsistent. Honestly, unless some of our young guys take some major strides, and we do work in the draft and free agency - I wouldn't be surprised if our defense next seasons some how ends up being worst than this train wreck of a defensive performance this season. We have no proven edge rushers under contract, and our secondary is already horse shit. The only aspect of our defense that I have no questions about is the interior....
Edit2: I forgot about Gay, he's been surprisingly awesome in his second stint with the Steelers.

So Jets want to talk to Mora?
The Jets last made the playoffs in 2010.
Miami was a Wildcard in 2008.
The poor Bills were a playoff team in 1999.

If I'm a Browns fan, I jump off the highest building in Cleveland.
What if you're a Browns fan and don't live anywhere near Cleveland though?
Jump off your trailer roof.

Browns fans should be grateful they were guaranteed a team back within three years and kept their history. Fucking ingrates.

That really doesn't take away from our division strength though. KC and San Diego was pretty good this year. Raiders don't count.
Not much better if at all than the Bills and Dolphins.
Broncos and Pats had comparable division rivals. Pats also defeated the Broncos head to head.
I'm in Canada you idiot!
Eat a bag of dicks, that jersey is gonna be worth a fortune in the future.
Well you're a cat so you would just land on your feet and walk it off.
This is very true.
BLarry I swear I'll fight you and then afterwards buy a diner for you and the kids.

I know already that you're a negative nancy. Just showing you my justification.
As for the team, they'll get better on D. The young guys made a huge jump playing together this season. Troy's replacement has been in the system 2 seasons.
Worilds is coming back. If they can't work out a deal, they'll franchise him again. He's not going anywhere. And I have faith Uncle Jarvis will pan out. He's flashed awareness and burst.
The issue is these guys need snaps together. Jarvis and Shazier need to see the field together. Shamarko needs in when Troy retires. Young teams need to make mistakes. I know the Steelers love their vets, but their time is over. Shamarko has the speed to correct his fuck ups. Troy doesn't.

Kave, I said it before, I'll say it again, you're a free agent. You don't live in Cleveland. The choice is yours. I'm convinced you're just a masochist if you're a Leafs fan and you choose to be a Browns fan.
They've hurt you. Over and over again, they've hurt you. They'll hurt you again *coughjohnnymanzielcough*. We welcome our brethren to the north. Try the Ravens on, it won't hurt, in fact, it might fill that void inside you. Time to step out of the shame circle, take my hand, I'll show you the way...

On a football note, our secondary is worse than trash. But our front seven is really good and we can pressure the QB like no other. I saw something that said there were like 10 players with 20 or more QB hits and the Ravens have 3, no other team has more than one. Those three, Suggs, Doom, and McPhee plus Upshaw, who is really solid against the run, and Mosley, the soon to be DROY are crazy strong and deep (Daryl Smith is no slouch either). In the middle we have Ngata back, and Brandon Williams is criminally underrated. This is why we won and why we could even compete with a secondary made up of the DB equivalents of Ryan Lindley.

Hard to see Lombardi keeping his job if the offense shits the bed again on Sunday. Injuries to the o line are a major issue but his inability to adapt is damning. You can't average 10 points against playoff teams and keep your job. Nor can your offense look competent THREE times in a 16 game season. Giants, Bucs, Thansgiving Bears game. All home games. Literally the only games where this offense looked good and consistent.
Funny how every off season move was made with Matt Stafford in mind yet he only had 22 TDs this season. Sure his INTs were down but his decision making is stl questionable, his accuracy is meh, etc...
You guys owe so much to Elway not being able to use a fax machine.
:jnc Poor doom had to leave when he did not want to. You have a good memory.
I still can't believe that actually happened. lol

Joe Flacco on throwing deep more said:
Sounds about right for him.
My hope is for Colts to win so in case the Broncos lose an honorable team moves on. Good, Sunday to all. I better log off GAF before I consume to much amber gold ale.
