Yeah that helps with the fan base. Thing is, Pittsburgh hasn’t won a Superbowl since 2008, last appearing in 2010 where they lost to Aaron Rodgers. Steelers haven’t had a playoff win since 2016. They have 6 of their division games left and the Chiefs and Eagles. We’ll see how they finish and how they fare in the tough afc playoffs. Russell did just enough but he didn’t look great today.

I agree with all this. But a winning culture breeds loyalty. Hopefully, 18 years from now, our fans will irritate the shit out of everyone by dominating away game stadiums.

Dan Snyder’s era destroyed the fan base. It’s going take a few years of success for things to get back to Gibbs 1 days. We are off to a good start. Baring a complete collapse, playoffs still seems likely. For year 1 of rebuild, looking good.

A winning culture also breeds bandwagoners.

They'll be one-and-done in the playoffs. But I do hope they beat the Eagles.
