Super Six Steelers - Who knew?
People picking the Steelers to have a Super Bowl
season in 2008 were few and far between
Be very skeptical if anyone tells
you he picked the Steelers to have a Super Bowl season in
2008. Most people guessed 8-8, or 9-7 at the very best. Few dreamed
of the Steelers playing in one post season game, let alone winning their 6th Super Bowl.
One for the other thumb indeed!

With several injuries and the departure of Alan Faneca, the
offensive line was in total disarray. Big Ben rewrote the
record books for the increasing number of times he was sacked. During the
third game of the 2008 season, the Philadelphia Eagles spent more
time in the Steelers backfield than Steeler running backs. After
that game, the season looked long and grim. How would the Steelers even come
close to beating the Patriots, Cowboys, Giants, Colts, Chargers and
Titans? Ouch!

But you know what? You have to take your hat off to the entire
Pittsburgh Steelers team; the players, coaches and management. They
never blinked, didn't give up, and gave new meaning to the word TEAM.
They only lost 3 games after the Eagles debacle, staying together
through thick and thin. The offensive line learned to play together
as they faced the toughest teams in the NFL.
Max Starks, Willie Colon and the
rest of the O-line got the job done!
Congratulations Pittsburgh Steelers!
