I hate the steelers, especially since one of their fans invented the bernard Pollard fan club t shirt.

I wanted to get your views on whether or not you think the steelers are one of the NFL's elite teams or just a myth. They were notorious for taking steriods and other substances in the 70s. Those substances were not banned until later (1989), but they were clearly performance enhancing and is not the same as lifting weights. To me, steroids is far worse than video taping. we video taped but whether it helped the team or not is questionable especially since we had two winning seasons after we got caught.

Something tells me the steelers D this year is just a product of steroids and HGH.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

Talent, drive, and intelligent play-calling are not a result of steroids. I'm not saying none of the Steelers do steroids, I have no information regarding that, but it's very foolish to attribute success simply to steroids.

Pathetic. Enough said.

Stop. I hate the Steelers as much as anyone but that defense is what we should all want ours to be. The only thing that bothers me about them is that they haven't had to go through us in the playoffs to get to either of their 21st century Superbowls, that's extremely irritating. It's like the Redskins in the 80s winning those 2 titles without having to go through San Fran, pretenders to the crown.

I wish them luck though, it's the sporting thing to do, although I hope the Cardinals roll them.

Like it or not, they are clearly a dynasty, I'd go so far as to say the greatest NFL dynasty. They're on their way to a 6th Super Bowl title, they've been in 14 AFCCG's and have been a very good team every decade since the 70's, the only team to have at least one Super Bowl appearance in the past 4 decades.

You are talking close to 40 years of excellence, noone can top that, end of story........

If they win...Dynasty. Patriots fans, face the facts, this isn't 2001-2004 anymore. The Steelers are the class to beat in the AFC Now. That D is pretty darn good. Sure, people will bash me and say...hey, who was in the supper bowl last year....ya ok...but what wins supper bowls???????????? Defense..... The Patriots need to upgrade there D to get past the Steelers the next few years to come.

How are they a dynasty? IMO, a dynasty is a franchise who wins World Championships, and they last won in 2005. They have been very good, but the benchmark for dynasties are WC's.

No, sorry. If you win and then win again next year, you might be up for dynasty consideration. But winning one, not winning a playoff game for two years, and then winning another one doesn't make you even close to a dynasty.

I would say if the Steelers win, the "dynasty" label is up for grabs during the 2009 season between NE and Pittsburgh. Neither team would be truly deserving. The Pats haven't won since 2004 and the Steelers would have only won 2 this decade. I think any team claiming to have a "dynasty" should be able to successfully defend their title. The Pats have done this, and if they take it next year that's 4 in a decade. On the other hand if the Steelers do it again that's 3/5 with a repeat, and that would be deserving.

Actually they were pretty bad in the 80s. Mark Malone, followed by Bubby Brister... Ugh.
