It was 1972 and I was 7 years old. To that point the Steelers had played in two playoff games in their 39 year history Lynn Swann Color Rush Jersey , winning neither. This year, however, they didn’t seem to be the Same Old Steelers. We had an exciting new rookie first rounder out of Penn State. It was my first season paying attention. I had taken my newly acquired skill of writing cursive and sent a letter to Franco asking to be inducted into his Italian army. He didn’t write back, so I figure I was 4-F.My father had been a lifelong fan, having grown up in Pleasant Hills, just off Rt. 51. He had played at Clairton High (alma mater of Tyler Boyd) and earned a football scholarship to Westminster College. He found himself, fifteen years after matriculating at Westminster https://www.steelerssportshop.com/Kevin-Greene-Jersey , listening to the divisional playoff game against the Oakland Raiders on a transistor radio in the kitchen. Steeler Nation wasn’t prepared that year for the playoffs so the game didn’t sell out, and therefore wasn’t aired live locally.I’d like to say I was parked right next to my dad the whole game. But I wasn’t. My older sister had roped me into playing “School” with her. Each time, however, she, as the teacher would announce that it was time for recess I would race to the kitchen to check the status of the game. The last time I went in my father gave me this glum report:“It’s not looking good, son. It’s 4th and long. There’s almost no time left. And we’re behind.” Now I loved and respected my dad. He certainly knew more about the Steelers than I did. But he lacked something I had an abundance of — child like faith. So I corrected him and said, “Don’t worry Dad. Franco will do something great Greg Lloyd Jersey , and the Raiders won’t have time to come back.”And then, the immaculate reception.I can’t tell you that I knew in advance what Franco would do. I didn’t. I just knew he would do something. And with that one play, the trajectory of our beloved franchise changed forever. I can’t either provide audio or video tape of that conversation. I can tell you it actually happened, when I said it happened, just as I said it happened. Disbelieve me if you wish. It won’t change what happened.The last thing I’m able to do is to draw a causal connection between my youthful assurance that Franco would find a way, and Franco finding a way. Maybe it would have happened had I not been paying attention to the game. Maybe it would have happened if I had been worrisome and pessimistic like my father. But maybe, just maybe Ben Roethlisberger Color Rush Jersey , my confidence in my hero is what kept the ball from touching Frenchy Fuqua. Maybe my confidence in my hero is what kept the ball from touching the turf at Three Rivers. Maybe my confidence in my hero is what kept Franco in bounds all the way to the end zone as the clock ran out. Or maybe it was some other kid with the same hope. Maybe it was you. The 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers’ season has been unique, to say the least. After a start which was more about drama and disappointing play than big wins and celebrations, the team has rebounded nicely in the month of October. In fact, after rattling off back-to-back wins against the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers have improved their record to 3-2-1 with a great deal of momentum heading into their Week 7 bye week. But it isn’t just the team who is singing a different tune...so are the fans.Thanks to SB Nation’s FanPulse survey, some of the most tuned-in fans of the black-and-gold have shown they are starting to become believers again. Take a look at the yearly chart below, and you can see just how bad things got after the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football.Even though confidence was at an all-time low for the Steelers https://www.steelerssportshop.com/Terrell-Edmunds-Jersey , the dominating win over the Falcons, followed by a hard-fought win over the Bengals, the fan base is starting to see this team very well could be turning the corner.After Mike Tomlin declared the team needed to get their ‘September Stench’ off of themselves, they have done just that by winning both of their games in the month of October to date, but bigger fish are ready to fry. Coming off the bye, the Steelers will host the Browns at Heinz Field in Week 8, only to be followed by a trip to M&T Bank Stadium to play the Ravens in Week 9. The Carolina Panthers will come to Pittsburgh for a Week 10 Thursday Night Football contest Vance McDonald Jersey , but it is hard to believe the Steelers will have played 5 of their 6 AFC North division games before Week 10 o the season. The only game left is a Week 17 game at home vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. What is your confidence in this Steelers team? Are you still skeptical? If so, what would it take for you to have genuine faith in the Steelers again? Let us know in the comment section below!
