people are underestimating just how dominant this team is: I say at least 8 in the next 5 years.

Damn. Fro'd the poll.people are underestimating just how dominant this team is: I say at least 8 in the next 5 years.
Just like they were in Indy?Depends, if the refs are still on the Steeler roster then they might do a 3 peat.
As long as that ref crew does all of their games they won't lose a game for a decade.![]()
I like Seattle's future better than Pitts.Probably zero. A more interesting question would be how many division titles they win over the next 5 years. FWIW, I like Cincinnati's future more than I like Pittsburgh's.
Yeah I think Seattle definitely has a relatively easy road to the postseason for the next few years, thanks to playing in an otherwise poor division.I like Seattle's future better than Pitts.Probably zero.

Actually, the weighted average is closer to 1.Looks like 0.
I wonder what the results of a similar poll was after the Pats won their first superbowl? Relax--I'm not even trying to insinuate that the Steelers are anywhere near what the Pats dynasty was. Just saying--anything's possible in the NFL. With that, I voted 1 just because I think Ben is a winner (despite his performance on Sunday) and will get them back.Actually, the weighted average is closer to 1.Looks like 0.

WTF do you mean, was? Our dynasty is not over. It's not a Super Bowl if that Pats aren't in it. You know its true. They had to have Brady flip the coin for crying out loud.
We got jobbed in Denver. We'll be back.
Was?

OK, I take back my comments about the Seahawk fans not complaining.how many will they win or how many will they be awarded?
sorry. it's a bitter pill :X
This is a very good team with a young group of core players. I think another SB victory is a reasonable expectation.
Probably zero. A more interesting question would be how many division titles they win over the next 5 years. FWIW, I like Cincinnati's future more than I like Pittsburgh's.

He'll turn 29 at midpoint next season. I wouldn't consider him young for his position.I don't see why the steelers couldn't win one more championship over the next 5. I would give these reasons:
- They are not an old team in decline that will need a total overhaul anytime soon.
- They're as stable as a franchise as they come.
- They have philosophy of personnel and development that works.
- They have consistency at the HC position.
- Their main stars are young (Polamalu, Roth, FWP) and should only improve.
- The competition from the Bengals in the North has required the Steelers to step it up.
So bottom line, as a well-run business I'd expect them to continue their competitive ways. And so long as you're competitive, you have a shot.
A young, healthy Mendenhall should help out the running game next year, if he can hold on to the ball.He'll turn 29 at midpoint next season. I wouldn't consider him young for his position.I don't see why the steelers couldn't win one more championship over the next 5. I would give these reasons:

Seriously?????????????????????????? Both lines are OLD, just ask Ben how good they are, off camera. Timmons will start for Foote as he'll sign with his hometown Lions and then retire, so if anything they'll be more athletic at the LB position. I'd say their weaknesses are at the OL and CB, of which as good as they are, I said ONE more over the next five years. Of course that is all based on no key injuries to the team.I would think they're even money to win at least 1. They've got a solid line, good QB, good WR talent. On the D side of the ball, they just retool year after year. They've been to 6 AFC Championships in the last 10 years. I say they're as good a pick as anybody, besides the Pats of Course. And since the Pat's can't win 'em all.
Well obviously not anymore. But he was only 25 when I wrote that back in 06. Looks like I was pretty damn dead on, actually. Nice find!Edited: I'd just change Parker to Mendenhall now like other posters are mentioning.He'll turn 29 at midpoint next season.

I know it's 3 years later. I still voted 0Hey guys... maybe read the post dates before you start quoting them in your replies-3 years later?
