Steelers’ Line On The Draft – Offensive Not only do the Steelers need offensive linemen, this is a good draft for them, especially at tackle. As many as seven or eight could go in the first round.
Why The Steelers Will Beat The Patriots A quick survey of the Patriots’ 12 wins reveals the following: four have been against divisional opponents (who are a combined 9-27 this year, for a putrid winning percentage of .250) and another four have been against non-division opponents with losing records. The Colts, Eagles and Ravens games were won by a combined ten points and could have easily been losses, which only leaves the Dallas win, which was closer than the final score indicated.
2007 Season Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers The defending Super Bowl champs stumbled, but very quietly the Steelers re-emerged as a team to be reckoned with by winning 6 of their last 8 games, often in impressive fashion.

They have the capability to do just that, but I still see this team as no better than 5th in the AFC over a 16-game schedule. A 10-6 finish, and their playoff fate is decided in Week 2 with their game against Jacksonville. Win and they’re in, lose and it’s a very long, cold winter in Pittsburgh. But as I said about them last season, if they do make it in, they should be considered the favorites in every playoff game.
One More For The … Road Pittsburgh Steelers running-back, Jerome Betis will forgoe retirment, against his body's wishes and make a run at one more championship in 2005.
Only the Cowboys and Patriots have the combination of unwavering arrogance and structural fortitude to confidently trade a 4th round pick for a player like Pacman; in other words, I love the trade for Dallas.
