The Bus needs a tune up. Famous Amos is a great backup, one of the best pitch hitters in the game, but he needs help with a consistent passing game. Plaxico Burress is a punk, but he's got talent. Across from him is the hard working, dependable Hines Ward. Will Maddox lead the Steelers to the promised land? Probably not without help from the underachieving defense that was so overrated at the begining of last season it was a joke. Bill Cowher is a great coach, but his players need to get over the flop from the Titans kicker. If they dwell on it, they'll do the same thing the Rams did on Vineteri's field goal: IMPLODE.

I have to support the home team... Good team, that needs to work on the basics. I really hope that they find a good back up QB though.

Should be #1 nuff said

I love my Steelers. I think Cowher is a great coach. The only reason Pittsburgh did not win it all was because they picked the wrong year to have a mediocre secondary. Pittsburgh is a great sports city with great fans and a classy team. I'm young, I'm patient. I can wait for a Super bowl.

They need work on special teams and tighter on 3rd down situations. Keep Maddox as quarterback!!

This is the best and most consistant team in the NFL. The reason its this low is because of the idiots from Ohio and druggies from D.C.

HOW 'BOUT THOSE TEXANS?? TEXAS TEAMS RULE!!!!!

I've been a Steeler fan since I knew what football was about. I'm not a "band wagon rider". I've stuck with them through the Cliff Stout and Bubby Brister years clinging to the hope that things could and would turn around. Now we finally have an offense thanks to Tommy Madox. Getting Stewart out of the QB role is the best move the organization has made since getting Brister outta there. The Steelers are always a contender and will soon be in the Super Bowl again going for that "one for the thumb" (S.B. ring).

Great history with this team. Terry Bradshaw, Mean Joe Green. And now with The Bus and Bill Cowher. Great team, always will be.

How anyone could call Cowher a good coach is something I can't figure out. Anyone with half a brain would have got a REAL quarterback by now.

Bettis is trully the bus. He can run over just about any defense. Stuart has really matured as a quaterback. Plus, I live in Pennsylvania.

greatest franchise in North American pro sports history.

WHAT THE F?!?!?!? THE STEELERS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NFL! Why the HECK arent they in the top 5? 17th is an INSULT! THE GREATEST sports franchise in AMERICA! I GOT A FEELING, THAT PITTSBURGH'S GOING TO THE SUPER-BOWL!!!!!

Kordell is still maturing, and when he learns not to whine, he will really shine! And then the rating will probably go to 5 stars.

no super bowl.hahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahaha

The media is biased toward this team. True, they show the hustle and gusto of my Baltimore Ravens but, many of their players, Cordell Stewart, and Plexiglass Burris are cry babies.

Great football team in a great football town. But can the best in the AFC beat the best in the NFC?

Wow. Great record, first place in the AFC Central, and they're buried below the likes of the Cowboys, Bills and Lions... Tough league I guess. Steelers have been my favorite team for over twenty years and I could not be happier with their current success. I hope they have a good run in playoffs. I'd like to see them win another Super Bowl one day, though I doubt this is the year. Let's go Steelers!

THE GREATEST TEAM TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!!!!! WHY AINT THIS HIGHER ON THE LIST??!!??!??!?

the steelers would have made it to the playoffs last season, if it weren't for those refs that blew those 3 calls toward the end of those games. and the steelers would of won at least 2 of those 3 games, if not all of them. this season, they are going to be the surprise team of the league.

I am from Pitt and I think they could have been better! They stink! They need a new QB or sumtin! Kordell is loosin it!

they are just beginning to gel, it won't be long until they've worked their way back to the top

QB/WHATEVER ELSE HE IS IS NOT FOR PRO FOOTBALL. BETTIS IS NOT A TOP FLIGHT RUNNER TO CARRY A TEAM LIKE GEORGE FROM TENN. CAN.

Time to sit down the Slash man or send him back to guns 'n' Roses to crank out another great record with Axl. What a boring team to watch. When you lose to the new Browns, you have to befin to re-assess what is happening to your team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a great football team but lack the depth in their secondary. once they obtain a better right cornerback they will be able to reach that Super Bowl!
