That was always the goal of salary caps wasn't it?  Enforced league-wide mediocrity?  At least that's what I remember seeing around here the last time I paid any attention to da foozeball.

In the late 90s, it felt different.  Teams weren't really historically outstanding like the Patriots of today (save for maybe the '99 Rams and their insane offense), but you had a lot of really good teams that put themselves in legitimate Super Bowl contention.  Within a span of four seasons ('97-00), the Jags, Ravens, Colts, Titans, Jets, Broncos, Chiefs, Steelers, Packers, Rams, Bucs, 49ers, Falcons, Vikings, and Giants all put together credible runs where you could have seen any of them bring home a Super Bowl without tilting your head sideways.  That's about half the league. 

Nowadays you can pick out about three teams by midseason and almost guarantee that the Super Bowl winner will come from that group.  The rest of the league just occupies a vortex of mediocrity.

It's not like Chase Daniel played better. And they need to stick with Trubisky to see if he will develop or if they need to move on from the disastrous pick.

In Washington PA tonight. Praying that the Steelers win tonight. Afraid riots might break out here otherwise. Oh. And let me tell you about the roads. It looks like I imagine Syria around here.

:? with the idiot in charge here that's a possibility.



This would be a bad loss for pittsburgh but especially on Monday Night. It could be a fireable offense. Of course if I'm pittsburgh I let it slip that they are considering giving Tomlin and extension to make the imbecile Dan Snyder give up even more for Tomlin's services. :hang:

I read a little about it but honestly, I've been concentrating on the Nats.    If the Steelers had any hope, I'd pay closer attention.    The NE and Ratbird games set the tone.

I wonder if Sarah Thomas wears makeup for all games or just for prime time games.

If you were talking about that chant, it's "first down".     The announcer sez, "Pittsburgh Steelers" and the crowd responds.

No. It was when they were booing the offense. The fans were saying something and I don't believe it was positive. :lol:
