A 6-seed beating two #1 seeds, a #2 seed, and a #3 seed all on the road except for the Super Bowl. I have to say that is just amazing. Three straight wins on the road and all pretty impressive wins. Anyone disagree?

Seymour93 said:#3 seed was a seriously overrated team that hadn't won a playoff game since the Reagan administration; #1 seed has Peyton Manning as QB; #2 seed has Jake Plummer as QB; SB opponent are the Seattle Seahawks of all franchises.
I'll take beating Oakland, who had among others, a SB-winning coach, an MVP, and a Heisman trophy winner, in a blizzard at Foxboro Stadium's swan song; beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh with statue of QB; and finally bringing it to the 14 point favourite, "Greatest Show on Turf".

This team was much better then a sixth seed, could have competed for a number 1 or 2 had they been healthy (just like the 4th seed). The two best teams were the Steelers and the Pats, both were lower seeds because of injuries and injuries alone. Unfortunately the Pats dropped the ball, quite literally. Otherwise the Steelers road would have been much more difficult. As it is, the Steelers run is still impressive, but it is quite clear that the Steelers were much better then the teams that they beat, its not so shocking or amazing that they won.

Hard to say how you'd compare them.
Understood, to me it's just not a big deal. They certainly won't have to beat a team as good as the Rams were in 2001 (remember they had a top five defense in addition to their offense). It's difficult enough to compare dynasties, even tougher to compare single seasons in which there's a smaller sample size. Pittsburgh or Seattle will win the Super Bowl. Congrats to whichever does. But it doesn't make them better than any other SB champion of recent years.bball831 said:I know that, that is why I said that it would be the greatest accomplishment in a single postseason.
