The Steelers did the Eagles in good. You could say they stole the spotlight. After what they did to the Pats last weekend I kinda thought they might. But I'm still disappointed. The season still has great potential, but it just didn't seem like the Eagles stepped up to the challenge. As good as they've been this season, they owed us a nail-biter at least. I could have dealt with that better. Getting stomped was just NOT one of the avaialble options for this season if they are to be taken seriously.
EVERYONE now takes the Steelers seriously. Anyone alseep at the NFL wheel this season is now keenly aware of one of the big forces to be reckoned with. 21-game winning streak? Bah. Undefeated superbowl favorite? Bah. I hope the Eagles have learned something from this. Or else they are doomed. Because every future opponent is watching tapes of that game right this moment.
Just please, oh please, don't let this be a momentum shifter. Progress is the key here folks, and I'd like to see 14-2 (preferably 15-1, but I won't be unreasonable) from this season and a super bowl appearance as sure signs of progress. I'm not even asking for a superbowl win (though it would be nice). Just an appearance. We can win next year for still yet more progress.
