And given that he is FAT, I do mean "weighs in".

Let's start this exercise by saying the only teams that can logically compete for Team of the Decade in this decade are New England and Pittsburgh. Indianapolis (regular-season record: 101-43, 7-7 in the playoffs) does have seven more regular-season wins than Pittsburgh, but the Colts can finish this decade with two Super Bowl titles, and a two-time Super Bowl winner can't lay claim to Team of the Decade over a team with three. So it's either the Patriots (three titles as we speak) or Pittsburgh (two) who can wear history's crown.

You be the judge what history will say if the Steelers win a third after seeing the Patriots' and Steelers' records since 2000:

Team Reg. Season W-L Playoff W-L Total SB W-L Losing Years Playoff Years

New England 102-42 14-3 116-45 3-1 1 6

Pittsburgh 94-49-1 10-4 104-53-1 2-0 1 6

For my money, the Steelers would have to have a dream season -- say, 14-2 or better, with a Super Bowl win -- while the Patriots would have to stumble and miss the playoffs for Pittsburgh to win the fictional title. Whatever happens this year, the Steelers can't win more playoff games than New England, can't win more Super Bowls, can't appear in more Super Bowls, and, with 12 fewer wins entering the season, almost certainly can't win more games. Then there's New England's 16-0 regular season two years ago.

In other words, something really strange would have to happen for the Steelers to pass the Pats as Team of the Decade.

FUCK YOU PETER.

Why is this stat so often over looked? THEY FUCKING CHEATED! THEY WERE CAUGHT AND PUNISHED FOR IT! THEY WON ALL THREE OF THEIR SUPER BOWLS BY A FIELD GOAL! THINK WHAT THE SCORES MIGHT HAVE BEEN IF THEY HADN'T CHEATED!

Fuck the Patriots.

Steelers fans get so overly upset when any other team is given any spotlight. don't forget there are 31 other teams out there. The Pats beat us twice in championship games during this decade- both in Heinz Field. There are valid points that the Pats rank over the steelers in this fictional category. Let the steelers face off againt the Pats in another championship game - we beat them and go on to win the superbowl. That will give us the creedence needed.

Yeah, us Steeler fans are just a bunch of morons who hold teams that get caught cheating accountable. It's to bad we're just a bunch of overly loyal dumbasses
