OK, ok we all are in a state of shock. We are not exactly tearing up the NFL with our 1-2 record after playing one contenter and two high school teams. After all the writters made us this years media darlings we are not exactly where we had all hoped. But hey we are what we are, and we have the talent to become a solid contender this year. And with the way our schedule has helped us we still have time to get back in this, maybe as soon as this week. Don't be surprised to see us tied for first in our division by Monday morning.
But with all of that said lets start to look at the effect we have in all of this. We are just the fans. We can't win games, but if you look at the fan base of the steelers where they never have a road game because their fans buy out the seats at away games and are louder than the home fans. You start to see how the fans can have some effect. Pitt had not won a SB in over 25 years either yet their fans were always selling out their place and mostly very supportive. You have to support your team in the bad times more than in the good. The bad times is when they need you the most. They need to know we are on their side and things will get turned around. We can make that process take longer, like we are doing now, or we can quit stupid threads like "lets start Joey crap" and start being supportive fans like those of teams that win SBs.
Lets look our own lives. What if we were treated like the way we treat our team. What if others didn't forgive us in the bad times or when we made mistakes. What if every time we through the remote at the wife for talking during pregame she got mad and left?? Who would then bring us beer?? Mod Edit Who then would mow our yard? Would it get left for us to do, MAYBE EVEN DURING SUNDAY FOOTBALL??? What if every time we saw the cat sharpening her claws on the curtains, and we pulled our 38 off our coffee table and shot at her, barely missing, while putting a whole in the floor, what if she treated us like we treat our team?? What if she gave up on us?? Who then would catch the hundreds or mice around here?? Or who would be there to kick when Mare missed another chip shot FG?? These my dear fellow fin fans are the questions you should be asking yourself. Take a good long look at yourself, and look at how things could be worse if we were treated like we treat our team.
