Steelers 35-1 odds winning it all. Might have to put a couple hundred on that.

Love those odds, the off season changes and the 6-2 finish last year.
Let's make some waves.

It is crazy how fast the steelers became entirely irrelevant in the NFL. Super Bowl and one of the most consistently good teams in the NFL one year, the next, irrelevant the next 3 seasons. They made the playoffs the next season, but as a wildcard and with the team devastated by injuries, a team that lost to Tebow of all people.

Luckily, Seahawks vs Niners quickly filled the void for the most exciting rivalry left by the loss of the Steelers Ravens rivalry.

Yep however I not only have them back in the playoffs this year, but figure they will go on a Steeler like run of 15 of 17 post season appearances with 2-3 Super Bowls mixed in.

They will need an offensive line that doesn't get injured every year, they need another rb besides Bell, and they need a lot more in the way of defense. They finally realized that they needed to cut some of their aging players the past 2 off seasons, but now they need to find people to replace them.

Yes O-Line needs to stay healthy, but even backups played well the last half of the year. Added Legarrett Blount at RB and Lance Moore at receiver. Seems like they picked up Cortez Allen at corner, but not certain on that.

Blount has talent. Not sure if he will be able to be reigned in or not though. Belelchik and Fisher are about the only coaches who I like the odds to get the best out of questionable players.

Saints receivers don't have a history of producing outside of NO. Case in point, Meachum. Moore is a talented guy, but I think is a bit younger than Meachum when he left? Not really worried about your WR's. Brown is a better WR than Wallace ever was, thought that was a great move on Pitt. Wheaton from OSU will be a good player too.

I think the Steelers can quickly become a playoff team again, but I think it will take several years to become real contenders again.
