Cris Carter is right that the Steelers may be the best team in the AFC. We will know next week when they face Baltimore at home. Thank God they are not in Tampa’s division ?
Hey, we are still 2 and 0 in our division, and “discovered” Blount yesterday !
Actually, we’re 1-0 in the conference (Carolina), we’re 1-1 vs the AFC (Cleveland/Pittsburgh). Not that it matters, we’re 2-1 and tied with Atlanta and New Orleans for now. That may not last long, but it’s much better than our first 3 last year.
I think the experience gained from playing a team like the Steelers will be invaluable to these young guys. They will take two weeks to pore over the video and see what they should be striving to achieve. Two weeks to see the mistakes they made, and two weeks to correct as many as possible. Two weeks to learn and grow using film against one of the NFL’s best. Two weeks to get guys like Blount and Benn up to speed to play more, to improve young guys like McCoy, Price, Grimm.
The tough losses are not over, we’ll have more. This team is young and will make mistakes. The key will be how they take those losses and learn from them. We now get to listen to so-called fans trash the team for two weeks, while the team prepares for the Bengals.
It was like Mike Tyson of the mid 90’s fighting Peewee Hermon….. By the 4th quarter we were playing the Steelers water boys, equipment managers and rookies and just did get a score against them…… Make excuses all you want but their are legitimate reasons for concern for the Bucs future!!!

In our conference you mean, Apple.
And the Steelers may well be the best team in the NFL, considering hteir only real competition are teams from the AFC.

I am not trashing the team, just the ownership and management for passing on numerous opportunities to avoid this mess.
The plan is a fiasco, as are those implementing it. Most fans know this, which is why half the stadium was wearing steeler colors on Sunday.
Nice job Glazer Boys. enjoying that 80 million $ payroll?
Show a committment to the team, fans will return, just like the 12 straight years of sellouts. This aint it.
