What happened in Baltimore yesterday reminded me of what happened 10 years ago at another Steelers opener.
It was Sept. 9, 2001. Around 8 p.m. that night, as we packed our work gear and left Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, I said something like this my Post-Gazette colleagues:
``I can’t believe we’re going to have to sit through 15 more weeks of this garbage.‘’
That comment was made as a result of a 21-3 loss the Steelers had just taken from the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was an absolutely awful performance and gave the Steelers a 22-27 record since the start of the 1998 season.
Bleak doesn’t begin to describe what the Steelers future appeared to be.
And then they won 13 of their next 15 games.

| I know this is right, but man what a coughed-up hairball of a game that was! No real positives to take from it other than the hope that it kicks the team in the ass and wakes them up early. Time to quit fucking around fellas!  _________________  -"I stand corrected...

| While it stings to lose to the ratbirds in this type of fashion, this game won't mean a thing when the Steelers come out and rattle off a few more victories, and the ratbirds will give away a few games.
They'll be in their normal position, looking up at us. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND

"He who laughs last, laughs hardest". I would LOVE to go into Baltimore in the playoffs and beat them and then this game will be but a memory and the  will be right back on their back
