Not since drafting Big Ben. The knock on the Steelers in the post season during Cowher's tenure was not winning playoff games. Especially the horrible losses at home against SD and NE in AFC Championship games. You can win a ton of games with an awesome D (and even sometimes a SB ala Tampa Bay) but a great QB is what sets you apart. Go back to the Steeler QBs prior to Ben being the starting QB and tell me you dont chuckle at the names.![]()
Tommy Maddox, Kordell Stewart, Neil O'Donnel, Bubby Brister!!
Mike Tomczack!!
the pre-Big Ben QBs save for Terry Bradshaw are a joke!!
but now we have a proven winner and future HOFer in Big Ben. he's already won more playoff games than Peyton and he's inching up on Tom Brady!!!
