And the Giants won a Super Bowl with a 9-7 record. I'm not sure what your point is. Of the 28 teams in the league at that time, the Steelers...
Playoffs in 1982, 83, 84...division titles in 83 and 84...AFC Championship game in 1984...I guess it depends on one's definition of "lean" years."...
I'm all for Ben leaving if it means getting Jameis Winston in 2015.
The only true "lean years" were 1985-1988. And the team would have made the playoffs in 1987 if there weren't a strike and the replacement games...
:this!: Look, I love Ben. I love his heart. I love that when the team loses, HE takes the heat, takes the blame. And when they win, he tends to...
How do we know that the "talent" is the problem??? Urbik has turned out pretty well in Buffalo,a nd he was aguy the Tomlin staff didn't even think...
Given that description, I don 't see how he could be described as a great QB.
The other contenders: Steve Conley, LB, Rd 3 1996 Paul Wiggins, T, Rd 3 1997 Jeremy Staat, DE, Rd 2 1998 Chris Conrad, T, Rd 3 1998 Kendrick...
I think getting destroyed by San Fran, on MNF, with Ben hobbled (he should have NEVER started that game in the first place) sort of set everything...
I'm not sure I get the question, but I'll try to answer it: The team didn't hit rock bottom in 2006. The team was still "there." The Redskins had...
How about the retirement of Cowher? To me, that was the turning point. Why? If we think about it, Cowher's departure was an unprecedented one...
Hmm. I don't know. As critical as I have been of Tomlin, I am not sure Whisenhunt would have turned out any better. Maybe. But Grimm? Absolutely not.
I came across this episode, on Super Bowls VIII to XIII, and thought you'd all be interested in taking a look. The most compelling part is the...
Terrific dig on these numbers. Do you have a source? Further proof that Brady is a byproduct of the best offensive system in the NFL. Cassel even...
I think Dejan is the best sportswriter in Pittsburgh. He's brutally honest and quick to correct himself. He seems to have a better sense of what's...
:this!:
Jameis Winston will be the prize...and he won't be available until 2015.
How about these names: Jim Wolf Rick Druschel Allen Siterle Scott Garske Mike Gefert Tommy Reamon Charles Davis My guess is that you've never...
I remember that the Steelers were starting a rookie QB I remember that it wasn't Brady who beat the Steelers, it was his o-line, as usual. And...
Because, by contrast, they are now?
