Anything less than 4-1 after five games and it'll be a long season. I think that Tomlin may have rekindled the competitiveness in this team. Cowher had allowed them to become complacent and comfortable last season.

Title: Re: It pains me to say this Post by: Art Vandelay on August 28, 2007, 07:05:44 PM It pre-season. You can't judge the season by these "meaningless" games. This is true. The year the Steelers won Super Bowl XL, they started that season by going 0-4 in the pre-season, as I recall. And that was a better record than they deserved based upon how they played. Title: Re: It pains me to say this Post by: Spanky on August 28, 2007, 07:09:05 PM It use to be that preseason meant something. In this new age of NFL it is to see who will be the backups and who will be cut. I would love to see more first string players and more dress rehearsals but no team can afford it.
