A lot of people are giving me tons of ammo if the Steelers' defense slides this year.
Seeing as they arguably had the best defense in the NFL last year (I know, Chicago was also up there but when those two teams played head to head, I was more impressed with the Steelers) you're really stepping out on a limb saying they'll "slide" this year. They can finish 3rd in the NFL in total defense and you'll use that to trumpet your point.

Your shtick is old and transparent by now, man. Hang it up. YWIA.
See look at his post.I suggest the Steelers' defense showed a flaw and will slide this year. I get ripped for it.Then I say that the people ripping me for it are gonna have egg on their faces if I'm right, and then they essentially say my original point is completely valid and then try to bash me again.They are trying to play both sides. And you know why? Because they aren't here to talk football. They are here to cause trouble.And that is why these boards need to hand out some bannings to clean this place up.
What consitutes a defensive "slide"? Not winning the Super Bowl? Not exceeding all defensive stats from '05? Meeting all defensive thresholds from the '05, but getting X-1 sacks? A 5% drop off in stats across the board? A 10% drop off? A 50% drop off? Less wins? Quantify it or you'll just be arguing semantics at the end of the season, regarless of what happens to the Steelers defense.
You obviously don't get BGP. Even if the Steelers win the Super Bowl again, and finish #1 in both ppg against and yardage against, both vs. the run and the pass, he'll find some other reason why this purported "slip" occurred. He'll either devise some statistic, like the "Square root of the yardage allowed per turnover vs. number of fans wearing Motorhead shirts in the stands Ratio," or he'll do like he did with the Super Bowl and just claim that the referees carried the Steelers defense all year long. Then he'll add that by not admitting it and "surrendering" all their victories, voluntarily taking themselves out of the playoffs, that they have incurred the wrath of some ancient Mayan curse which guarantees that Troy Polamalu will wake up the morning of March 26, 2007 with a goat's head where his own used to be.
