Are The Steelers Setting Themselves Up For Failure?

NO PATTERN of Mike Mitchell making stupid comments?!

From not too long ago, he claimed that rules making the game safer "ain't football," but him jumping over the line is football?  Seems like a pattern to me.

You're in the group of beliefs that "it will all magically work out because we're the Steelers!"

You're like most Steelers fans, so I don't blame you for being delusional

Not if he's not on his game.

We'll see, though.

Are you a player now?  Does his play have an impact on you?  I'd have to go back and look, but I'm fairly certain I said that it will be in the back of the players' minds.

Delusional Steelers fans think that they're part of the team 

That's not an attack on you because it's just how Steelers fans are.

You don't think any of that will affect how they prepare and what's in their heads?



Steelers fans make me feel so much better because they make it obvious that having a traumatic brain injury isn't so bad

You could have just voted and put it down yourself, but ok.
