The lethal combination of Tomlin and Rooney

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!

 

Super Bowl hangover happens to a lot of teams.

 

I live out in Hooterville

There are some houses that make mine look like a mansion

 

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.

 

At least it shows he can read.

 

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.
