Steelers: When is it OK to have a losing season?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not used to losing. They have not had a losing season since 2003 when they went 6-10. An entire generation of fans doesn’t know what it’s like to lose more Sundays than you win.

They haven’t had two in a row since 98/99 and not three in a row since 69/70/71. They won’t have three in a row, but this illustrates how rare it is for Steelers fans to experience losing. So how do the Steelers cope with losing?

Should we expect to lose?

This is the premise, really. Technically, the Steelers could still make the playoffs.
