It is rough being 0-3 at this point but it is not like we haven't been here before.
Agreed. And this post is from one of the class guys on this board.
Following are three truisms:
1) Emotions manifest themselves physically, as related to sports. Takosubu Syndrome, also referred to as Broken Heart Syndrome, is a quasi heart attack, the incidence of which increases right after major sporting events. The first time I saw this about a decade ago at a symposium, it opened my eyes to the significance of sports in our society.
2) This board is essential in allowing our fellow Bengal brethren to vent - but to an extent. The collective psyche of any group affects individual members.
3) I truly enjoyed the Hawks and Bills games. We were in it till the last drive. The reason why I enjoyed it, is because I have my expectations aligned with the reality of our situation - specifically 3rd string LOT, 3 new starters on OL, injuries to OL and AJ.
Let's hope for a good showing in Pitt!!!
