Steelers vs. Patriots, Week 1: Knee-Jerk Reactions to the Steelers’ pathetic season-opening loss

Here we go! Tonight is the night we’ve been waiting for since last New Years Eve-Eve. A lot has changed, just in the last 36 hours. Were the Steelers for real from the get-go, or would they fall to the Patriots in an opener...yet again. Well, it was worse than I would have ever imagined. Let’s recap with what I felt at different junctures during the evening.

Nonetheless, a simple reminder, a knee jerk reaction is an immediate and unthinking, emotional reaction. It’s basically shooting first and apologizing later. I can safely say that’s a true definition of your’s truly and a good lot of Steeler Nation.
