Fans need to sharpen their skills of discernment as well. My first thought was to start fresh for the 2016 season. But even though the previous entries were made last August, they have, for the most part, held up well and some benefit may be derived from reviewing them as we begin to gear up for the new year. So we pick up where we left off. [These links will take you to the previous articles: Part 1: The Myth of the Knowledgeable Fan; Part 2: The Traps; Part 3: Why Drafts Will Never Be Perfect; Part 4: The Ahistorical Fan.] […]

So glad to have found you guys. I’m VinnySteel from over at BTSC. Missed you like crazy. As for the article, while I am encouraged by your historical comparisons between the two teams, I am loathe to truly see this year’s defense with as much potential as 2008. That defense (or several of its players) had proved itself often prior to the immediate year. This defense (and nearly all of its players) stand mainly unproven. Having said that, I am always glad for the reminder about how precious even being competitive and engaging to watch year after year is for the team we root for. Ah. So happy. Bring on the friends, the bad food, the laughter, the screaming at the screen, and the weekly holiday celebration feel. Go Steelers!
