    Yeah, tied with Noll for the most regular season wins in Steelers history.

    At least Cowher bounce back the next year by making to the super bowl with Neil O'Donnell despite missing their best player for almost the entire season....Remember when Polamalu was out for 10-12 games in 2009,Tomlin had no answer!

    Some how I thought you would eventually grow out of this phase

    But alas it appears to be a permanent disorder

    I believe Tomlin was more correct than Bradshaw.

    There is a reason most SB teams don’t repeat. Winning a SB is hard.. and teams change every year.

    If every team had a SB roster the year after winning you would see teams winning 3 or 4 SB’s in a 6 year span.

    you know what’s funny.

    we beat the Colts to make that SB and that dude almost caught the game winner on the last play.

    oh. and Troy was the best Steeler ever to play the game in my lifetime of watching football

    I wasn’t old enough to appreciate the Steel Curtain since I was born in the early 70’s.

    He was certainly my favorite.

    We were very fortunate to get him and Ben together in their primes IMO.

    But it's hard because we've had a lot of great players who were kind of "orphaned" because the team wasn't all that good when they were on the team.

    Watt at his peak was an absolute force. But unfortunately, the team wasn't good at that time.

    Cam's kind of like Bettis where he's been very good for a long time. But Bettis got to sneak in a championship with Ben. So I think in the end we'll remember him more fondly than Cam...although Cam might be a special case because he's probably the last of the old school guys.

    People can say all they want but here are the facts.
    Tomlin, and Cowhers overall records, that means no cherry picking, it means every single game they were HCs.

    Cowher: 161- 99- 1, 2 SB appearances, and 1 SB win.
    Tomlin: 201- 126- 2, 2 SB appearances, and 1 SB win.

    Anything else is not facts, just people's feelings.
    They are so close that only feelings make people say one was better than the other.

    I said this because @steelersrule6@steelersrule6 said that the game was different in the cowher era.But this is not really true when HOF or future hof were winning super bowl 13 times of the 15 years when Cowher was coach....I did not said that QB did not matter in the Tomlin era

    You really think Cowher would win in the playoffs in this era with Tomczak, Maddox, and Kordell against the likes of Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burrow.

    this makes no sense

    Winning SB’s greatly increases your chances to make the HOF as a QB.

    The game has changed, rules have changed, so much has changed with this game.

    What the F is it with you and clowns????

    Did a circus clown molest you as a child?

    Did Ronald McDonald steal some french fries from your Happy Meal?

    Did a clown scare you at your 12th birthday party and you never got over it?

    I mean...really dude? Calling others or insinuating that they're clowns because they don't agree with you is just super low-class and insulting.

    Stewart and Maddox both would have been interesting with a modern day coaching philosophy like Shanahan and McVey.

    Maddox was kind of a flash in the pan for one season then flamed out.

    O'Donnell then. O'Donnell's QB play is very similar to Brock Purdy's style.
