Anybody know the last time a 1-4 team made the playoffs?


lol

Wanted the Steelers to win this one.

When's the last time "we" missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons?

They still have the Lions on the schedge. It ain't over.

The thought that this team could be 5-6 after today is cray cray.

Great decish on my part to pick up Roethlisberger. #MVP

It's a longshot, but the Steelers (7-8), after starting 0-4 this season, are still mathematically in the hunt for an AFC wild-card spot. They need a lot of help.

It would be a near-miracle if they can get through another week. The Steelers need to beat the Browns in Week 17, and need the Dolphins, Ravens and Chargers - all 8-7 - to lose.

Unreal that this is even remotely possible.

Tomlin for COY?

Big Ben already has MVP locked up.

Just need Chiefs second stringers to beat the Chargers, GOOD LAWD!!

Steelers still alive and Ravens out, whoda thunk?

Kinda hope the Steelers get in. Think they have a better shot against Sissynati than the Chargers do.

Bungles = FRAUDS.

WALTERFOOTBALL:


Steelers sign RB LeGarrette Blount (2 years, $3.85M; $950K guaranteed): B+ Grade
I'm confused about LeGarrette Blount's decision-making. Blount would have been a starter had he re-signed with New England, but he'll only be a backup in Pittsburgh unless Le'Veon Bell gets injured. He reportedly didn't stay with the Patriots because they only offered him one year, but he could have used the 2014 season to once again showcase his talent and perhaps land a more lucrative contract next spring.

But as for this actual signing, I'm a fan of it. Blount could be a starter somewhere, so he'll be a very strong backup in Pittsburgh. There's a chance he'll slack off again now that he's no longer with Bill Belichick, but the Steelers aren't taking much of a risk.

Too bad it came off the hand of a rapist.

Totally true. Also probably quite common in major league sports.

Whatever makes you feel better as you cheer for a rapist.

You're cheering for them, too. You just lack the self awareness to admit it.

It's understandable that you justify your vice by pretending everyone else shares in it.

That 4th quarter was PURE STEELERS FOOTBALL.

that's tough

But I see 4 wins and an AFC North crown.

Two of the greatest NFL players of all time. And Trent Dilfer.

Two men of God and a murderer.

But at least Trent isn't a Mormon and doesn't murder people I guess.

Some people should absolutely be murdered though.

Remember Willie Parker, Glan? What's he up to?

Blount released.

Maybe they should call up WILLIE PARKER.

Those who stay will be Champions.

Or they could bring back Rashard Mendenhall if he isn't off fighting for ISIS.

Sup Glanmazing? Not watching the Steelers?

Whose bright idea was it to make McNabb a commentator

The Steelers look like a Glanaverage football team out there today, fam.

I was wrong on this, no way did I see 9 wins total, let alone with two weeks left.

I was actually thinking Tomlin might be on the outs.

Pregame prep underway. Making big pot of white bean chick chili, y'all.

How many rapes this offseason?

Plenty, I assume.

Keep cheering.

You hate sports then, right?

Or is it that you are so #blessed that the teams you follow are the only ones that don't employ felons?

You can try to downplay rape by equating it to all other felonies but it rings hollow. You openly root for a rapist. You even wedge your rooting for him onto a board that has nothing to do with Pittsburgh. And yeah, if the Lions traded for or signed "Big Ben" I'd root against and denounce them.

As for whether there are any Lions with felonies on their rap sheet, I'll leave that to the guy who runs the WTFDetroit Twitter account to research. If you find any child pornographers or murders on the roster, let me know.

Whatever, you're being lame.

It sucks that pro athletes have criminals in the ranks. I don't like that my favorite NFL team has bad guys, but all teams do, so if you're going to watch the games and have favorite teams, it helps if you can disassociate from that part and just pull for the jersey and the guys who haven't proven to be garbage, until they prove otherwise.

I'll take the track record of the Rooneys - it's about as good as it gets. Not perfect, but in relative terms, admirable.

I shouldn't even dignify your trolling here, you know all of this, as always.

I do know that at every opportunity you play off that you root for a rapist like it's no big thing and pretend like it's okay with the justification that everyone is just as bad as your guy.

If I've done that then that's a joke in bad taste, and I think you know it. Find it and I'll apologize, but I sincerely don't like the guy, so I know you won't find it with any authentic meaning.

I do know that at every opportunity you play off that you root for a rapist like it's no big thing and pretend like it's okay with the justification that everyone is just as bad as your guy.

Also, this is completely not true.

You maybe could find something where I'm pretending to like him, similar to how I love LeBron, Favre, Tiger Woods, MSU, etc.

It's basically the schtick of the entire site to claim to like the guy everyone hates. But again, you know this.

You don't love MSU?

Of course I do. Quit trying to trick me!

Glan, do you know anything about raping zipties?

Also, this is completely not true.

You maybe could find something where I'm pretending to like him, similar to how I love LeBron, Favre, Tiger Woods, MSU, etc.

Post 631 is just the latest example of you doing it. You aren't doing a bit. That's 100% Gla.

lol you must be bored

I say, "You cheer for a rapist." You say, "You must hate sports." The OBVIOUS implication is that everyone in sports is either a rapist or just as bad. There is zero denying it. Like 3 posts later of something you are claiming you don't try this very tactic.

It sucks that your team is lead by such a terrible person. But you gotta own it. You and Laker fans have something in common.

My team is lead by a terrible person. Totally agree. It's unfortunate that there are so many of them in pro sports. Now stop being stupid.

Stop being stupid? You mean bringing up that Ben is a rapist and you are cool with it, promote that team on a board about Detroit and get pissed when someone brings it up? That's being stupid?

I've loved the team since I was six and am not just going to stop because the QB is a rapist. I'm going to continue to hope that the team wins and that he gets as little personal success or acclaim as possible. Wouldn't bother me a bit if they traded or released him if they could get comparable talent. Want you to stop being stupid so I don't have to keep restating things after you mischaracterize things and put words in my mouth. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove but that's nothing new.

And I don't disagree that Lakers fans and Steelers fans are in a similar situation. It sucks that the team star is a scumbag, but it happens all the time these days. Luckily players come and go and both will be gone at some point soon.

But you know all of this and insist on being stupid about it.

But it doesn't happen all the time. That's part of the point of the cover story you've created to make you feel better about rooting for a rapist. And as long as you continue to root for a rapist I'll bring up that you do root for a rapist. Just as I'd do to any Kobe fan.

As for "knowing all this already" I'm making sure you know you are deluding yourself into being okay rooting for a rapist. As this thread clearly shows, you are living in a pretty deep state of denial to make yourself more comfortable. You can do that as long as you like but I'm not going to stop pointing it out as long as you do.

Ray Lewis, Ray Rice and too many more to mention.

Hell, Alvin Robertson is a felon involved in a sex trafficking ring and it doesn't keep you from loving the Spurs. But you just keep pretending that you're not a hypocrite.

At least I'm honest that I can still root for a franchise that employs bad dudes. Because they all do.

Alvin Robertson currently plays for the Spurs and the Spurs are a team that I love? This is news. Did anyone tell the police when he went on the lam that dude was playing NBA games every second night? Plus, isn't that guy like 100 or something now? Let's ring Guiness and make sure they give him is world record as oldest NBA player to ever play the game.

And Ray Lewis and Ray Rice are on teams I root for as well? Which ones?

Oh that's right. None of them are but if you admit that to yourself then how will you wave that towel with as much enthusiasm every offensive play that your favorite rapist leads your team down the field?

Oh, I thought your point was that this was just a Steelers/Lakers issue, now I see that it's just you saying that in your ideal world, that YOU only pull for teams with rosters full of choir boys.

Maybe you can share which teams those might be?

And if any of the players on those teams turns out to be a bad dude, you immediately, 100%, disavow those teams. I see. GTFO out here with that shit. What a waste of time this is.

Man you are flailing. You called me a hypocrite because Ray Lewis, Ray Rice and some hack from the 80's are bad dudes (what an amazing list to show "everyone" being as bad as Ben, btw, two guys from the same team and some guy no one has given a shit about for 30 years). You must really be on tilt if you can't remember your own last post. For me to be a hypocrite from those 3 guys, I'd actually have to ... you know, root for the Ravens or the Spurs in the 80's.

And yes, just like if I found out the current Lion's O-line were all rapists, if I found out Barry Sanders, or Reggie Jackson or anyone I formerly or currently root for was/is a rapist, I'd stop being a fan of them. I wouldn't for instance, argue with dipshit Cowboy fans about how Barry was a better RB than Emmitt because I wouldn't give a shit about the football that the dude played anymore.

But not you. You are cool with guys raping women as long as they bring home that W. Keep cheering.

More mischaracterizations. You keep saying I'm a fan of Ben, I keep saying I'm not, I'm a fan of the franchise. If you can't understand that basic premise, we could just fill your nights with this kind of fun forever.

I listed a few dumb examples and then gave up because there are infinitely more bad dudes I could list, but why, when you would just do exactly what you did and deflect and make it about those specific examples that are not on YOUR team. Because what this is really about is some manufactured opportunity for you to pretend that you have some moral high ground. You're living a lie.

Seriously, you are going to co-oped my entire argument?

Me: You are deluding yourself.
Gla: No you are living a lie.
Me: You deflect the rape issue by pretending every athlete is a rapist.
Gla: No, you are deflecting.

Nowhere did I say I was better than you. You claimed I'm a hypocrit which, to be true, would have to mean I root for rapists. You clearly haven't established that to be true.

But that doesn't mater. The more you can try to make this about me the happier you are. Because that means less attention to how you support a rapist and still think the Rooney's are this great family even though they have no trouble handing millions of dollars to a rapists as long as he gets the Ws. Just like you support a rapist as long as he's gettin' dem wins.

I just can't identify with the sports utopia that you live in.

So I'll leave it here... I'll keep not liking my team's QB, and you can keep making shit up to make it seem like I do.

That way, we'll both get what we want.

I guess it makes sense. When you've got no argument to support your position but you can't keep yourself from posting, all you can do it crib other people's stuff.
I do like the idea that in order to justify supporting a team lead by a rapist you have had to delude yourself into thinking everyone in sports is a rapists. That's a costly championship run for you.

Still amazed that with running backs at such a premium that Steelers were able to get Deangelo Williams right off the scrap heap. He's still got game.

What do you bet Dalton makes a miraculous recovery

Wow, done. Must've broken his thumb or torn up some ligs.

This offense is amazing

I'm getting Antonio Brown'd in the Fantasy Playoffs after Cam Newtoning him this morning. Brown single-handedly got his team back in it.

Never in doubt.

Probably playing the Bengals next week.

Toussaint was looking pretty good there, thing he might've gotten 'cussed tho, got popped and seemed woozy.

When you hold a team to 56 yards in a half, you need to be up more than 6 points. Generally speaking.

Kind of boring for a playoff game. Wish conditions were better. It's a long season to let it come down to something flukey happening due to playing in a monsoon.

Yeah, I'm going to try to stay awake for the rest of this, but might be hard...

Thanks, Pacman!
