    No it's not.
    If I can show you hundreds that it's not then how could it be the case???
    If it was the so called case....we would have made the SB instead of went backwards after our last AFC Championship.
    If it was the case Bills, and Ravens would have already made the SB with the teams they have.
    If this was the case the Browns after that playoff win you keep bragging about would have won more playoffs.
    If it was the case the Jets with Sanchez would have made a SB.
    I can literally do this all day.

    Again,only 1 team can win the super bowl per year....This is the part you don't understand!...This is not Golf or Tennis when you have 4 majors per year!

    If you look at the majority of Super Bowl champions, several of them had been far in the playoffs in the few years at some point with their Super Bowl champions core.

    I agree that there are more examples of teams that have gone far and never won the Super Bowl. The Bills in the 1990s are a perfect example of this, but the odds are much better if you had knocked on the door before.

    How can anyone on this board answer that question when the Rooney’s and MT don’t know.

    I said make the SB.
    There is no stepping stone to make the SB.
    You don't make the playoffs, and then next year win one game, and the next two, and the next 3, and the next make the SB.
    It's not how it works.
    If it was how it works, then Sanchez, J. Allen, Lamar Jackson, Kordell Stewart, Keenum , Carson Palmer, Mark Burnell, B. Bortles, R. Cunningham, D. Culpepper(just to name a few, and I could go on, and on with this list) led teams would have all made it to the SB eventually, but they haven't, and didn't, and I'm only bringing up a few that have actually made the NFC, or AFC Championship games....if I start making a list of teams that have just won playoff games, the list gets even larger.....so again.....there is no stepping stone from the playoffs to the SB.
    You win enough to make the playoffs, and then You win enough to make the SB. No in between.

    Some of the QB you named like Keenum and Bortles were just a one hit wonder....Cunningham cough on the door only once in his career same for Culpepper and Palmer.Stewart was a starter for only 5 years and he was too inconsitant making the playoffs twice.Sanchez was a bust and he did not make the playoffs once again as starter after the first 2 years...Career of Lamar and Allen is not over so don't be surprise if they are in the super bowl at one point but sure outliers can happen

    Football and soccer with single elimination playoffs are the most brutal of all sports. Have a bad day at QB? You're done. Kicker misses wide right, you're done.
    Bill Cowher once said that the outcome of an entire season can turn on as few as a handful of plays, out of the couple thousand that are played each season. And whether people like to admit it or not luck is a big factor.

    As much as the Pirates suck and they do suck, they are not rock bottom. Close as hell but always someone worse most the time.

    The ones I know were thrilled to be in the NFCCG and did not expect to win knowing rookie QB's do not win Championship games. Ask Ben;) I only know 4-5 of their fans but they have big dreams for the future.

    True and this is why the more often you are in the SB contention,this is most likely you will able to win at some point.Not a guaranteed but the odds are much better

    Also,in the case of the steelers,we can't said their struggle in the playoffs are bad luck since 2017 since they are down by at least 21 points in every of those game!

    The killer B's era could have a argument because of injuries like 2014 and 2015 but not after that

    For the Bills,their last 3 playoffs losses vs chiefs are just brutal,it could have been either way

    Last 2. 2021 when I pulled for the Chiefs and 2024 where I pulled really hard for the Bills. You'd have thought I was watching a Steeler Playoff game.

    The plan is to build up the team as much as possible then draft a franchise QB next year.

    The Steelers in the playoffs are going to a gun fight with a knife.

    I could be misinterpreting your comments, but it seems like you're discounting the idea and approach of incremental and continuous improvement. What the steelers are doing has clearly not been working if the goal is winning the SB. I think we would all like to see results next season that are better than last season. And for me, that starts with winning a postseason season game. That would be something to build on. It would help to foster a mentality of winning against playoff caliber teams. It would mean having players on the team who know what that feels like and want more of. Winning is contagious but so is mediocrity and settling for non-losing seasons. Nonetheless, this team has been stuck in the mud spinning wheels for the past decade. Until they bring in a new coach, it will be more of the same.

    He is just defending the pathetic MT and this is a way to discredit winning a playoff game. Everyone knows making progress year over year is the goal.

    I think that's the big picture, the issue for many is that we have been in this phase for how many years? No doubt the KP lick and fail set this franchise back, and it's been trying to fill the QB spot with failed 1st rounders or old guys since then. I hate the Roders drama, but actually can see some justification in doing it. You are not going to get much in FA QB anyway, and the money AND possible time spent on some of those guys is not very appealing. Their might have been more effort in recent drafts to find a Hurts type in rounds 2 thru 4, maybe some guys pop out, but from memory there really has not been much production. There are some very nice players drafted the last couple of years, the core is something Omar is building, the team was good enough for the PO's, can Aaron have a decent enough year? I have my doubts, but I see a divided path they are trying to walk to get to 2 different places, all we can do is wait and see.

    Very hard for incremental improvement. For the offense, the starting point of the season has rarely been the end point from the last season. #1 and #2 QB gone, #1WR gone, #1 RB gone. OL in constant churn. It's been fingers in the dike for the offense for five years.

    Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight.
