But apparently he’s not done and back. So a “back” QB, elite top 3 HC, and a top ten defense should be expected to make some sort of a Super Bowl push.

Pre season expectations go out the damn window once December hits.

Back to what breh? Prime Russ didnt even have championship expectations. How many playoffs wins post LOB and not a peep. We aint talking Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers here.

The preseason expectations have been lapped. All they can get is props now. The chip expectations are where they been...with those other 3 squads. You cant dismiss a team and then when they overperform hold them to the same standard of the squads you been dismissing them for.

So Russ is not back? Hes still washed? I just need to clarify that.

All these things can’t be true, and then say there’s no championship expectations.

A great QB, a top 3 HC, and a top 10 defense always had Super Bowl expectations, unless we secretly know one or more of those things is overrated.

I need you to answer my question in the post you quoted. Tell me all those years prime Russ had chip expectations.

You disagree with someone's assessment or dont like somebody cool thats your prerogative. But we dont have to create rage expectations though breh .


We got KC, BMore, and Buffalo out there and Pittsburgh is supposed to have chip expectations because you tired of nikkas giving props for a season that has shocked EVERYBODY?

Russ in his prime was a top 5-10 QB. I’m being told Russ is “back”.

If Russ is back him combining with a top 3 HC(allegedly by the coli) and a top 10 defense should equal superbowl expectations.

The Steelers are better than the ravens this year, so they should be expected to go further in the playoffs.

3rd time...when did prime Russ ever have chip expectations? That would be necessary for him being "back" to mean anything. Some QBs get to be top QBs with no expectations of winning (see: Brees, Drew). And beyond that we all know he aint that anymore so what are we doing? Mad because a dude is performing and winning and getting some love because NOBODY saw any of it coming? This is the issue with modern sports talk. It cant just be "wow that team is surprising everyone", we gotta jump right to making up criteria to shyt on them.

You can make up whatever rankings you want...the Steelers are playing with house money breh. All that smoke is better served on the squad that had expectations thats about to miss the playoffs in that division. You supposed to get punished for losing...not winning.

nikka getting paid the vet min and not even guaranteed a job next year and in his mid 30s and we supposed to hold him to the same standard as young $50 M per year beasts because somebody on a message board said "He's back" come on breh.

From 2013-2017 the Seahawks were among the favorites in Super Bowl odds every year

Super Bowl XLIX odds: Seahawks open as favorites to win 2014 title

No team has repeated as champions since the Patriots did it in 2004 and '05. (John Biever/SI) It's never too early to look ahead to next season. Hours after

www.si.com

Then when he got traded to the broncos they were among the favorites

Broncos Given Third-Best Odds of Making it to the Super Bowl

The Broncos have become darlings of the oddsmakers, too.

So again… according to the coli(and the national media) Russ is “back”. So him being “back”, Having an alleged top 3 HC, a top ten defense should have some type of superbowl expectations

So if there is no Super Bowl expectations , that means one or more of those 3 things is not True.

People have their reservations about KC Three-Peating this year. However, if you break down the potential opposition, the path is not as challenging as it may seem.


AFC (Biggest Threats):

Ravens
Steelers
Bills

At the most, they would play 2 of these teams. Also, KC is still #1 in the AFC and could remain that way come playoff time.

NFC (Biggest Threats):

Lions
Packers
Eagles
Vikings

They only have to play one of these teams if they make it to the SB. They're not going to play both the "red hot Lions" and the "red hot Eagles"


Also:

Houston has regressed
No Joe Burrow to worry about
No 49ers to worry about

Jon Runyan letter to Azeez Al Shair was nasty and personal.



this Rethuglican cac who was also an extremely dirty player in his time, I remember when Strahan used to embarrass him whenever the Giants played the Eagles.

Texans GM and other folk called him out today for that beyond the fact that the punishment is over the top and reactionary since Al Shair has never been suspended before.
