The main thing to remember is that we aren't going to win the Super Bowl every year from now on. As far as being out of it; c'mon, we're 3-2, the league's best record is 4-1 and that's only because those teams are getting the luck we were blessed with last year.

Just relax and try to enjoy the season and hope we can make a run if we ever get all our injured players back.

That's what I'm thinking. We are missing some key players.

We have the foundation in place to be damn good for a long time maybe we just need to reignite the intensity.

I really don't think the intensity will return this year. We're competitive because we're a good team but we are NOT playing with the heart we did last year. We're emotionally exhausted and that goes from the front office all the way down to the fans. I'm as guilty of having a Super Bowl hangover as anyone. I've only made ONE home game so far and that was to watch them drop the banner! I've only made hotel reservations for one more and that's the steelers game. I just haven't been able to get excited this year. As a matter of fact, I'm not even as disappointed as I think I should be when we lose. After looking at the schedule, I actually am more excited about next year when we have the Colts and Texans coming to town. The fans will be hungry again and refreshed, the players will be ready to get back to kicking our opponents around and all will be right again. As for this year, I think we'll make the playoffs, I just don't think we will go very far. It's just not our year.
