Basically 8 minutes of classic steeler fans living in the past. Tons of references to the "old steelers" and their teams of the 70s where just about every player made the HOF.
Stephen A. used the word embarrassing as much as Allen Iverson used "practice" in his rant.
The group all basically said the same thing over and over: the steelers are soft, and they don't have any pride. There was not one ounce of credit given to Cincinnati (which doesn't surprise me), but only complaints about how soft the steelers are playing. Ryan Clark went as far as saying: "These are the Bengals, who lost to the Jets and got pounded by the Browns at their own stadium". I wish I was there to cheekily remind him that this is also the Bengals team that before 3 straight road games pounded pitt at their own stadium and the Ravens at theirs.
One last odd point: At roughly 7:35, Stephen A. said "they couldn't even get a damn penalty". I have no idea what that was in reference to. Was he complaining about officiating? That would be rich. Or maybe he was expecting a Kimo-like assassination attempt?
The bottom line is: the steelers lost their intimidation factor when the league started policing leading with the helmet. It has long been their weapon of intimidation. It is gone. They have no answer. They are not a few players away. They are dead and buried. I waited a long time for Jim Tressel to turn the tide at OSU vs. Michigan (not remotely close to my love for the Bengals...not even in the same universe, let alone the same zip code) but I knew it was coming. And Michigan was down for nearly 20 years. It is time the steelers, and their legion of fat loser fans, face two decades of ineptitude and embarrassment. Enjoy, pitt. I am pissing on your ashes.
