Fuck You Haters!! Volume III

[CoolShades]

Today was the biggest game of the year so far, and we won. I’m glad. Our team hasn't had a losing season since 2003, and I’m glad. Swiss speaks his mind around here, and I’m glad. If you want your favorite team to lose, why do you even watch the games? Why not just wait till the end of the season and see who the head coach is, and who they draft?

I haven’t watched a game in over two years, except for the playoff debacle last year.

I watched that only to laugh my ass off with some friends who know how much I hate Tomlin and what he’s done to my favorite team.

Fuck the Tomlin Steelers.

Swiss is a guy who has gone to his favorite restaurant for 60 years. The last 10 years or so, the chef puts shit in his food. Not all the time (a little less than half the meals) but he gets shit on his teeth and he tastes it enough to know what’s going on. And he always gets shit in his food on a special occasion. He can count on that. Instead of complaining to the owner, or maybe trying another restaurant and realizing this isn’t normal, he keeps going back and telling himself that the food he keeps eating will get better one day. Complaining is pointless, and fuck anyone who points out the shit in the food and how awful the restaurant now is. It’s HIS favorite restaurant and he’s going to keep eating there regardless of the shit in the food. He’s eaten shit for so long, he has convinced himself that it doesn’t taste that bad after all. Hell, in 17 meals, he might get 9 without shit! Complain? Why complain? After all, the shit hasn’t killed him and his favorite restaurant is still open. The chef? Oh, he “hates” the chef, but heaven forbid he tries to get him fired. No, no…. he won’t do that. He CAN’T do that. After all, it’s his favorite restaurant and part of his routine. He’s convinced himself that eating shit about half the time is pretty damn good…. It’s his new, accepted standard.

It’s his (and your and everyone else’s) right to keep eating the shit, but let’s not pretend that it is normal or sane.

Sooo....Shades admits it. He doesn't watch the games. He's just a hater who frequent the message boards to post bullshit.

Thanks for your opinion shades, worthless as it is

It’s no big secret. I’ve admitted it numerous times. I also took a break from the board for a year. I didn’t post at all last season because I am disgusted with the organization. I have a family and outside interests.. Why would I waste my time watching this fucking train wreck? So I can meet your made-up requirements for Steeler fandom?

You don’t get to decide who gets to have an opinion on this team and who doesn’t. And based on your posts, I’d say that watching the games hasn’t done anything to increase your football acumen. You don’t care about championships. You care about NHALS and your mediocre head coach. You love your participation trophy. Good for you. You are the customer base the Rooney’s bank on.

And thanks for your opinions too, Swiss, worthless as they are. Keep eating the shit. Celebrate the mediocrity. Celebrate the overpaid, apathetic players and the meaningless word salad from your hero, Coach Teflon.

Enjoy your occupation, Frenchy! The Germans aren’t so bad!

Some of us want more. Some of us want to be free.

Like in the two years he did get the team to the Super Bowl because other teams knocked out the Patriots for him.

In 2008, the Patriots missed the playoffs with an 11-5 record. One of those 5 losses the pats had was against the Steelers. Surely if they had beaten the Steelers and gone 12-4 the Patriots would have been in the playoffs. So Tomlin's team, in a sense, knocked out the patriots that year, then Tomlin's team won the Super Bowl.

Right duh but in a sense the Pats were knocked out when Tom Brady got injured in the first week of the season

Can we all enjoy the fact that the Ravens suck as badly as the Steelers? That's fun right? And as someone who has been calling Lamar overrated for 5+ years I did enjoy watching him try to run a 2 minute drill.

Each year I want either a 1) Pats style resurgence or 2) a Raiders style dumpster fire. Unfortunately Tomlin is not capable of either. We're in the middle my friends. Might as well enjoy the ride.

I'm all in on Steelers winning the division and seeing if they can keep the Bills rushing attack under 2 bills. Then they can take their chances with Nix/Maye. Could be fun.

btw dream scenario: Steelers actually make a run of some kind and Tomlin sends an F U to the fans and agrees to a trade, bringing back a first rounder from the Giants, who don't need a QB in the upcoming draft. Steelers get their QB.

I hate the Rats and Harbaugh even more, but you cannot deny Jackson is a good (not great) QB.
He's clearly been injured this year and his play reflects it.

I dont have the energy to discuss Tomlin anymore He has sucked the fandom out of me.

I will just watch and see where this goes ... being 99% sure I know how this ends as well as the next two seasons
i cant and wont ever root for anyone but the steelers, but man I hate him and what he has done

Yeah we're one year removed from him winning, what, his second MVP? He came within a cunt hair of beating Josh Allen for his third MVP last year. Closest MVP voting since Matt Ryan beat Brady by a pussy hair.

He's clearly been playing very, very banged up this season. Missed I believe the entire week of practice leading up to yesterday's game.

I wouldn't quite bury Lamar yet.

[lifelongsteel]

Lamar is really good. A top 10 QB. But he's in no way in the class of Mahomes, Allen, Burrow or Stafford. He gets treated as if he is, which is why I think he's overrated.

tbh i'ld probably draft Edmunds over him again if given the option (kidding. calm down)

I'm beginning to wonder if Mahomes is top shelf anymore, and that's not just based on this last Sunday.

Mahomes has been pretty pedestrian last couple of years statistically, and for sure makes a lot of throws that are head scratchers, but he is still pretty good when the game is on the line, except this year for some reason. Seems like the law of averages is catching up with the Chiefs this year, last year they won a ton of 1 score games and this year they aren’t winning those games.
