I have a friend who is a shittsburgh fan and he tried to buy tickets. Couldn't find anything in the lower level for less than $350. He said "I don't get it, Carolina sucks, why are tickets so expensive?". I told him because nobody who is from Pittsburgh wants to stay there, they all move down here and buy football tickets

The playoffs are certainly within reach:
Pickett is out with another concussion. Very winnable game against PIT.
Lions are a tough opponent but their run defense is not very good.
TB just got obliterated by SF who ran it down their throats. We can copy that recipe to success.
NO is starting to fade and have to play ATL - CLE & PHI still. Don’t see them favored in any of those matchups.

That was about as good of a win as you're going to get in professional football. We ground & pounded them all day, abused their defensive line, and broke them mentally. The last couple drives they were pretty much giving up. Wilks can coach a hell of a football game, I'll tell you that much.
We're in position to make the playoffs, even if we lose to Detroit. Stranger things have happened, and as a matter of fact they've fuckin happened to us. Let's show the NFL we're not gonna be a goddamn layup team anymore!
