Pittsburgh's Sissy Fans: (did I really say that?) :-0

Pittsburgh is in it's last golden days. Soon it will retreat back into the depths from which it was found.
Tomlin isn't that good he's just good at being a cheap, one trick pony. When Rothlisberger is done, so is Tomlin. When Tomlin and Rothlisberger are gone, so is Brown... and down the dominos fall.
The Ravens are the same. When Flacco goes, so flies the raven. Neither defense is what it once was and the offense provided by their cheapshot coaches and one trick QBs will not last forever. Their days are also numbered.
The Bengals will forever be the Bengals. Marvis Lewis is an old Hue Jackson with better tools to work with. Still bungles the same bugles that fills the air with cringful woe.
The Browns, with their vast youth and depth. The history and the city must unite and bring back the bark! The crown is just over the horizon if we've the courage to chase it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain- -
What if Roethlisberger retires after a career of multiple injuries? LB's leverage will get much stronger!
What if both retire/leave? There will be parties in the AFCN for sure.
The parties won't last long. The Steelers are a great franchise. Regardless of what Ben does, the Steelers will use the Browns for toilet paper.

I'm just saying.. the out physicalled them in a huge way.. they dominated on all sides...
The Jags punched the big bad Steelers right in the mouth.
If the Pats are not careful the same will happen to them.

BR not retiring. Not this year. He will be back. He is a liar and a drama queen...but he is not retiring. Though...he said he was coming back....so maybe he is lying about that as well. But I don't think so. He stayed healthy all year long. Thanks to his OL/OL coach. Some arsewipe on here said the Pitt OL was terrible. Yet it was BR himself who complimented them on the job they did all year long....and said that they are the one big reason he is coming back.
That is a big point an old(er) QB with a bad OL is grounds for leaving. Ben also said prior to the 2017 that he was "open to retirement" I personally think that he figured the Steelers had a shot at a super bowl run. An then there's one of my favorite subjects "show me the money". And yes Ben is already fabulously wealthy but.......

Looks like Ben has about $23 million reasons to play another year....

<<Pittsburgh is in it's last golden days. Soon it will retreat back into the depths from which it was found.>>
So, you recognize the Steelers as one of the very best. Good.
<<Tomlin isn't that good he's just good at being a cheap, one trick pony. When Rothlisberger is done, so is Tomlin. When Tomlin and Rothlisberger are gone, so is Brown... and down the dominos fall.>>
If Tomlin is not that good, why are the Steelers going to be worse when he leaves? Antonio Brown? He is going to be done when Tomlin is gone? WTF dude, stop eating lead paint chips.
<<The Ravens are the same. When Flacco goes, so flies the raven. Neither defense is what it once was and the offense provided by their cheapshot coaches and one trick QBs will not last forever. Their days are also numbered.>>
If Ben and Flacco are 1 trick ponies....ahhhhh......why are they still better than the Browns?
The Bengals will forever be the Bengals. Marvis Lewis is an old Hue Jackson with better tools to work with. Still bungles the same bugles that fills the air with cringful woe.
<<The Browns, with their vast youth and depth.>>
Fresh Schidt, piled up high................depth as in an outhouse.
<<The history and the city must unite and bring back the bark! >>
How can history do anything? History is an accounting of the past. It is not a living entity. Speaking of history........THe Browns have an 18 year history of losing football.....The Drive, Fumble and Red Right are part of history............. SO is trading Warfield................You want that to unite with what?
Also..............the "BARK" is not a part of the Browns legacy. The Dawgs is a modern moniker that has absolutley nothing to do with the Browns. The birth of the Dawg Pound historically is the marker of the Browns falling from greatness.
Did you ever see the TV Show Green Acres? You sound like Oliver Wendell Douglas espousing a lot of meaningless bullschidt while the fifes play in the background
The crown is just over the horizon if we've the courage to chase it.
Are you out of your fukcking mind? 0 -16? Just over the Horizon. Dude, WTF are you smoking? And WTF are you talking about if we have the courage? WTF does courage have to do with anything?
FDR said "we have nothing to fear but fear itself"......You are like FDR. Except instead of having a powerful position and the nationwide audience, you are wearing a replica helmet and addressing your ballsack.
