“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”-Carrie Bradshaw

A Sad Day for Steeler Nation


No, this isn't a project-it's simply me grieving in the only way I know how-writing.
Today is a sad day for my beloved Steeler Nation. What you must understand is as head coach Mike Tomlin says, "Fortunately for us we have what you can't buy, which is Legacy, which is an unbelievable standard and expectation, and all of those great things." To summarize, we expect to win. There's no "Oh well maybe next year"-this isn't Cleveland people. Members of Steeler Nation expect greatness at all times. 

In all fairness, we did not lose because of a bad call or a key player got injured. No, we were simply beat by a better team who out maneuvered, out ran, and out scored us consistently. Three turnovers did not aid the process either.

Although despite all the praying in the world, I cannot change this outcome and must suffer until August when the anticipation shall begin again. One thing is for sure, one team must always lose. The problem is-Pittsburgh fans are much more accustomed to it being the the opponent.
