Steeler's Offseason

[HometownGal]

I also think Lyn poses some very valid and interesting questions here.

When any team wins that Lombardi, they become the target - everyone wants to beat the Super Bowl champs. I think the fact that Super Bowl XL was the Steelers fifth SB win for the organization, the bullseye on their backs becomes even larger. With this team, however, I don't just look at the fact that they won the Super Bowl - I look at how they got there and all of the hard work, drive, determination and teamwork that got them to the big game. While the Bungles, Colts, Broncs and Seahags talked the talk, the Steelers walked the walk. They pretty much ignored all of the hype and went out there and played ball Pittsburgh Steelers style. Bill Cowher is a master motivator but because he is also widely viewed as a player's coach, I really believe he will keep his team focused and ready to compete each and every week. I think this team, even with the absences of El, Kimo and Jerome, can and will focus on their purpose - to win football games and get to Super Bowl XLI this season.

TOTALLY DISAGREE!!!
First off Oelhoffen was NO defensive leader, he played well but easily replaced with youth and speed. Second Bettis was a leader in the locker room but as the season progressed he passed that torch to Hines and Ben. Actually the year before it was passed, who got Bettis to give one more year....Hines and Ben.
To say Coach Cowher cant pull the team around is INSANE! I usually agree with bunches of your posts but I think this was a horriable read of character. Listen The STEELERS were finished last year after the lose to the Bungals, do you think Cowher got them thinking? COMON! They All got on the same page. They played every game like it was the last. If anything Cowher proved that he is in a Elite Class of Coaches. I apologize for thinking your wrong on this but YA REALLY ARE! Please Steelers Fever Members back me on this?

I do not post for a popularity contest. Do you give everyone who does not agree with you neg rep? This is a forum, where everyone's opinion matters. You don't agree with me, fine, but why the negative reputation? The questions I asked are thought provoking. Where did I read Joey Porter will now be the D leader? LOL sorry from what I have seen he would not be my choice for a D leader. Which is my humble opinion and last time I checked I still had that right.
