still going to win 12-13 games? (Kolb)

i got blasted predicting our record at 5-11.

now some of you who were living in fantasy land refusing to see our team for what it really was are starting to see the light. its amazing how many 8-8 predictions i am seeing now on the board. (by the way, we won't make that either)

being a realist sometimes sucks. but being one, i knew preseason we had no shot at repeating last years performance.

for all of you who labeled me "doom and gloom" and other such things, i say welcome to the real world. glad you could join us!

now, for more "reality", we've screwed ourselves by trading away our #1 pick in the next draft. but what about Kolb. his play in philly warrants a forced trade to become a starter somewhere else. maybe we can ship the washed up peppers to philly for kolb and a 3rd rounder.

Kolb is terrible

terrible? he just set an nfl record of 300+ passing yards in his first two starts. NOBODY has ever done that. he won't get a chance to continue that because they will bring mcnabb back when healthy and keep vick around for gimmick plays but kolb has played tremendously well when given the opportunity.

    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
    • I hope we are as improved as a lot of fans are hoping. However, this time of year everyone in the league thinks they have improved. It will be interesting. 
    • How many new starters will we have on defense?  That could be a good thing given how bad the D was last year, but it could also take some time for them to gel.
