I tried not to, but you set out to diminish the game as best you could by suggesting that a week 1 game has negative playoff implications for the winners. 
What I expect of my team has no bearing on how they perform on the field. Talk about delusions. I don't call the plays, I don't get in Harbaugh's ear. How much input does Mike Tomlin take from you every game? lolz. Baltimore's fans can be heard when they're needed: Third and long at M&T Bank Stadium.
It's neither good nor bad. When the game is out of hand, you can do what you want. It's on the other team to stop you. Some will run it up, others will run clock so that the game ends earlier. Neither is right nor wrong. |
week 1 has playoff implications. in a season of 16 games every game has playoff implications. im concerned for the steelers playoff position just from this one game. its always been close between the 2 teams and you guys going up 1 in the first week isnt good for us.
If what you expect of your team has no bearing on anything then your not really a fan of your team sir. You should always expect your team to win, always expect them to play a clean, well executed game. (it will never always go right, but thats what to expect. )
And I didnt diminish the game. Again, reading comprehension is a good thing. I said
"well sigh. Im a steelers fan. Horrible performance on our part. great performance on Ravens part."
which i followed up with what basically mounts up to: you should have wanted the ravens to beat up on us even worse. You should not sit on this win (enjoy it) but not sit on it and expect your team to do even better next time. Beccause like the falcons, being okay with good and consistant good, doesnt get teams very far in the playoffs if you want the ravens to win it all.
truthfully, i want the steelers to win games like the ravens did yesterday. Go in, beat up the other team, play physical, come out dominating. I should be the one saying that the next matchup will be completely different. You guys should be saying that the next matchup will just be another embarrasment for my team.
Honestly man if theres any BS in here its the way your handling any criticism. Learn to take it. But then, like i said, maybe you ravens fans are okay with lowered expectations. Maybe that philosophy comes from the team. And maybe thats why year in year out you guys arent as serious contenders. (am i saying this to make you mad... maaaaybe.. maaaybe not.. but maybe.. its a metaphor... but it really happened)
And P.S you can judge teams playoff potential early on. i'll say it now. Falcons = no good. Saints = no good.
and one final P.S.S (it sucks when servers are down at work. I get bored and look what i get myself into)
