A two-game winning streak hardly erases that.

Now, does that mean there's people out there saying now, man, I hope they lose because of draft position now?

No.

Well, we're beyond that point.

I think we're beyond that point.

But we're not beyond the point of where is this season going?

And if they don't win a playoff game, is it another failure?

Yeah, I'd say getting close to a decade without one would constitute another failure.

Now, if they win the division and Buffalo comes to town or the Chargers,

and they lose a great battle, you know what I mean, that goes down to the wire, maybe I'll feel a little differently because really the fact of the matter is they haven't come close to winning a playoff game.

It hasn't been competitive.

Yeah.

Just give me a season where you're competitive in the biggest game.

So we know they're not the Dolphins, and that was the quarrel I had with Andrew Rooney II the other day, Art Pony II.

When suddenly, from out of nowhere, after years of attacking the Steelers for their apparent stance that, hey, we're not doing so bad, at least we're above the mean, he seemed to suddenly be okay about that.

It wasn't, hey, maybe the fire Tomlin chants were mistimed.

I didn't have a quarrel with him going back and forth on that.

We all go back and forth on our opinions.

But the overall overriding sentiment that maybe things aren't really that bad around here.

Right.
