My team is the Saints. I hate it when they lose, but the Fleur de Lis is the only emblem on my sports gear.
Anyone remember what the Steelers were after 12 games last year? They were 7-5. They arrived at their 12th game on the heels of a 3-game LOSING streak.
Most of the "experts" said to stick a fork in 'em... they're done! Pretty much counted them out of the playoff picture.
But they didn't listen to the critics, and never gave up. The key to the playoffs is peaking at the right time. Yes, we have work to do, but never say NEVER!
Here's the Steelers' schedule (and results) from 2005 just before the playoffs:
09/11 34-7 W TEN
09/18 27-7 W at HOU
09/25 20-23 L NE
10/10 24-22 W at SD
10/16 17-23 L JAC
10/23 27-13 W at CIN
10/31 20-19 W BAL
11/06 20-10 W at GB
11/13 34-21 W CLE
11/20 13-16 L at BAL
11/28 7-26 L at IND
12/04 31-38 L CIN
12/11 21-9 W CHI
12/18 18-3 W at MIN
12/24 41-0 W at CLE
01/01 35-21 W DET
I like our chances, and I'm not jumping ship!
