…that no matter how this season finishes, that it was fun? Most if not all of us came into this season with little to no expectations. Rookie quarterback to develop, questions elsewhere in the roster, our O-line an unknown after how they played last season. All pressure was off, nobody expected this team to be any good.

And then the JT drama starts. And AR gets injured.

Yet somehow despite all of it, we’ve been… I’ll say not great perhaps. But we have been GOOD.

This team, that was supposed to be bottom feeding this year, fighting for a top pick, is instead in the mix fighting for a playoff spot. Even with our backup as starter. Even with the rest of it.

Last season was miserable. Almost to the point of making me hate the game. This year has reminded me why I love it. So no matter how this season ends, I’ve had a blast watching it. For the Shoe.

    Let me tell you about a time long-ago known as “2011”

      You know the irony is, that year I barely followed football or anything else really. I graduated that spring and got my first job that fall before leaving for missionary school in January. Had I been actively following, I’m sure I’d have the same disgust as I did last year.

      And if you think that was bad, sit right down and let me try to explain the early 90’s to you…

        I was there for that too (even though I was a kid). I still remember the 95 AFC Championship game, and I still hate the Steelers because of it.
