Runner 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Wow. Pretty humbling... Losing to the Raiders. I knew it was bad, but this bad! Wow. Roethlisberger single handedly lost it for the Steelers. Wow. Wow. Steelers '06 SuperBowl Champs... '07 Bottom tier in the league. Is it too early to look forward to next year? At least they are moving up for the draft!

CaptainHook 873 Posted October 30, 2006 When was the last time a defending Super Bowl champ looked this bad? I forget their record, but the Denver team after their back to back SB's started off pretty bad and missed the play-offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chavez 32 Posted October 30, 2006 I forget their record, but the Denver team after their back to back SB's started off pretty bad and missed the play-offs. There's an answer - though they HAD lost both their starting QB and RB pretty early on - one an MVP, the other a tremendous emotional leader and locker room influence. The Steelers came back mostly intact - though Roeth's offseason adventures definitely don't help the cause. And the Bus had a massive impact in the locker room.

Rovers 3 Posted October 30, 2006 When was the last time a defending Super Bowl champ looked this bad? Um..... the Jets in 1970? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Runner 0 Posted October 30, 2006 I would have never thought in a million years that I'd rather watch the Penguins over the Steelers. Just watched Ben's interview... Same ole crap... yada data... "I need to play better." Pretty funny though, he acutally referred to Oakland as a "great" team. Maybe his last concussion did affect his brain more than originally perceived.

The Vatican Hitsquad 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Raider Defense had an awesome day, but under 100 yrds of Offense is disgusting though. Imagine that.. same record as the champs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muck 23 Posted October 30, 2006 While they didn't win the SB, how did OAK start off the year after they lost a couple of years ago? IIRC, they were pretty brutal the next season (4-12, maybe?)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
