The one Super Bowl they've won this era can largely be considered a fluke, because
- They didn't have to play the Patriots in the playoffs
- They won a game they easily could have (and probably should have and deserved to) lose against the Colts, after the most overrated running back of our generation Jerome Bettis decided to make his one-in-a-thousand fumble in the most crucial moment of his life, followed by a miraculous tackle by Ben Roethlisberger, followed by a Mike Vanderjagt choke-job.
- They got to go against Jake Plummer in the AFC Championship.
- They won what is widely considered the worst-officiated Super Bowl that anyone can remember.
This is a team that talks more trash than anyone else during the season and going into the playoffs, then consistently underperform when it comes time to back up their words. Some memorable Steelers moments:
- Players saying that the Patriots "weren't up to their level" when they ended New England's 21 game win streak in 2003, then were obliterated by the Patriots in the AFC Championship (at home).
- Steelers fans booking flights to New Orleans for Super Bowl 31 before they got beat by the Patriots in the AFC Championship (at home)
So why do they get credit for being a top-notch franchise. Look at them for what they are! A pathetic, overrated, trash-talking, bunch of chokers who won a fluke Super Bowl and have never proved anything or are deserving of praise.

Dude get over it.... And you might be thinking of the loss to the Cowboys in the Super bowl not the 49ers. In any case you want to talk about bad teams you can talk about the SF, Miami, Atlanta, and Cinci just to name a few..... I get you don't like them, but how about you give the real reason.....
You're a moron who knows nothing about football and your flawed logic came our clearly in this. First of all the Patriots are a pathetic franchise to TAPE practices and cheat. Talk about a laughing stalk. You can’t put into words how great the Steeler franchise really is. One of the heroes of the game nearly became a bus driver, the owner of the team walks to work every day,the fans of the team drink Iron City beer, wave dish towels, and ignored the slumping economy to make their trip to the Super Bowl in a sunny version of Pittsburgh. This is why the NFL and it’s following should be glad that Pittsburgh is now the home of more Super Bowl championships than ANY franchise in the HISTORY of pro football. The players are ferocious, the owner is humble and the fans are loyal. What more could anyone possibly ask for from the NFL’s greatest franchise. That’s right you heard me GREATEST. I don’t say that just because I’m from Pittsburgh, now we’ve got the facts to prove it. 6 BABY!!
That being said, what more could you want from watching a Super Bowl? We had a great National Anthem, the Boss brought the house down, and Santonio Holmes made one of the GREATEST catches in NFL history. I don’t want to hear the playback of Montana to Taylor anymore. This catch with 35 seconds left has become of one the greatest for the ages. The Steelers are a small market team, that doesn’t pay big market salaries, and yet they continue to win and win and win and win. They have become the model franchise in all of professional sports. Other teams come and go, and win here and there, but the Burgh just keeps on bringing the heat. I don’t want to hear about the Packers, who haven’t won the big one for more than a decade or the Cowboys who haven’t won a playoff game in 12 years. 49′ers….ya..they haven’t won one for 15 years. Pittsburgh = 2 in 4 years. OH and I should say they don’t have to TAPE other teams practices to do it..cough…New England.
The Rooney family doesn’t need to buy championships, they build them. Pittsburgh’s good players were either drafted, or picked up off the streets and given a shot. Literally, the NFL defensive MVP..cut 3 times, nearly quit to drive a greyhound bus, and then walked on, typically an All Pro running back Big Willie, undrafted, Nate Washington playing in the NAIA…etc…etc. This is a franchise built on pride, that wins without the crap that other teams have to go through. This is a franchise built on patience. This is a franchise that has the youngest coach to EVER win a Super Bowl at age 36. This is only the 3rd coach that the owners have had in 40 YEARS. It’s no suprise that President Obama endorsed the Steelers this week. That is proof alone that if you can’t appreciate the Steelers, you are simply put un-American. Go shove those phony Patriot Superbowl's trophy's up your can, and root for a team that doesn't CHEAT. GO STEELERS!!!!!
