... Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl!
I can't believe we're on the eve of another NFL season and I still hadn't gotten around to making a thread dedicated to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I'm excited for this season. I think the team was complacent last year, took plays (and games) off too often, and was hurt by distractions off the field (bike accident, Cowher's last season, etc). Now, we have a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, a rejuvenated defense, and an offense that looks like it should click.
I see no reason to not expect the Stillers to win (at least) the AFC North this season. The Ravens are a year old (and McNair's legs are a year older), the Bungles haven't solved their defensive problems (how many points did they give up in the second half to the Chargers last year?), and the Clowns are still the Clowns (they do worry me as an upset in the second meeting, though). This isn't to say the Stillers don't have their problems, because they do (Ike Taylor especially worries me), but I don't see why they shouldn't at least win the division.
So come on, Steelers fans. Let's get amped up for this season and start the ring collection on hand number 2!

How are you a fan of every Cleveland team but the Browns?

I credit my dad. He grew up in Youngstown, and his dad basically worked in Pennsylvania thanks to working on the railroads. He instilled my love of sports in me, and he's a diehard Steelers fan.
But it was tough growing up in Cleveland in the '80's and cheering on the Stillers. Those were rough years.

Heh, I can imagine. 
The Steelers are capable of winning the division, but I imagine the Bengals will have some pretty big chips on their shoulders after their own letdown season last year.

I'm not feeling too optimistic for the Steelers this season.

I'm an Eagles fan so while I can't really root for the Steelers, I do hope they achieve some success as Big Ben is my QB for fantasy football.

Unfortunately I feel they are in a rebuilding phase, and might take some time to work together as a "Steel Curtain".
And if you are curious, I'm born and raised in the Smokey City, and waited a long time for "One For The Thumb".
I'm slightly displaced now, but occasionly I get the game on TV or run out to the bar that shows all the games.

either add to the discussion, or don't post in the thread. Antagonizing/baiting/fishing posts are not welcome.

Says the Steelers superfan!
Come on Inty, it's just a little playful trashtalking, I'm sure he wasn't trying to offend anyone.

I'd make the same statement if someone went to a Cowboys thread and posted nothing but the Romo fumble from last year.
Defense looks good, offense looked good early. Need to learn how to hold onto the ball, and I'll be happy. Of course, much like Ohio State, it'll be interesting to see what they do against a real team.

Oh, I know, I'm just saying it's just a little playful ribbing is all.
The Steelers are beating the snot out of the Browns, Ben's looked pretty good, so that must have made you relax a little bit. :

Yeah. He's only made one really bad decision so far. Three touchdowns, no picks. I'm happy about that. And, anyone watching the game can see that his completion % should be higher.

Ok, one down.. 
"The Steelers took an early lead over the Cleveland Browns and never looked back as they got the Mike Tomlin era started with a 34-7 win on the road."
Just a few more to go.

I have got to find a YouTube (or at least a .gif) of Santonio striking the O-H in either yesterday's game (after the long TD) or last season's game-winning, season-ending TD against Cincy. Best. Touchdown. Celebration. (at least that combines with crowd-specific smak-talk)

Another solid win today for the Steelers. Would like to see them do better with catching catchable passes, but beyond that there's little to complain about. Couple that with the Bengals Defense making last week's win look just a little more impressive, and you have a good day in my books.
