PLEASE, for the love of sweet baby Jesus, CRUSH these Ratbirds next week. Don't get me wrong, the Steelers absolutely lost that game fair and square. They shot themselves in the foot all night long. 3rd down Defense was just atrocious. It could have been 3rd and 50 and the Ravens would have converted. Ben had an "off" night in the ONE game we really needed him to show up big (with no Bell). Just overall a very disappointing performance. I would have never in a million years have expected them to get past your Pats, even if they did win tonight and somehow managed to upset the Donkeys. But there is NOTHING in the world worse than losing to the Ravens, if you're a Steelers fan, especially in the postseason. I hate them so much that it probably borders on unhealthy. I wouldn't piss on Suggs if he was sitting right in front of me engulfed in flames.
So yea....anyway. Just beat them. I mean, open up a can of whoop-ass like you've never seen before. I'll be rooting for your boys. I hope they bury them by 60 points.
This is the best I can offer right now after that debacle of a football game. Pardon the violent commentary. Sometimes it's a curse to be such a big fan of a sports team. Tonight is one of those nights.
Good luck next week, although I don't think you'll need it. Cheers. Time to get comfortably numb. ;-)
