Are the Pittsburgh Steelers the luckiest team in the history of sport?

No they are just good.

Best defence ever if they had a decent running back they would be awesome

if this was on the soccer group i know who would have been said straight away

defence may win championships but the steelers win games through bad officiating, fortunate bounces and inept collapsing opponents. if they win the superbowl it will be the most deserved championship ever and i will quit the sport.
p.s tomlin (possibley worst coach in the league) does indeed appear to have sold his soulto the devil in exchange for all these favours. the only upside is that if they do win the superbowl we won't have to put up with him next year as he'll have vanished from existence

i'll get one right in a minute
'most undesreved'

If it wasnt for your complete and utter failure to grasp the english written word, I would annoit you the best contributer in the history of this forum.

Superb reasoning. When will people open their eyes to the Pittsburgh myth?

They have a very good defense, a decent offense

but I agree with the above, they seem to be aided by huge slices of luck so often that you can't have this much look surely?

Lucky teams do not win those games through one piece of good fortune over 60 minutes.

Several

Take away the question mark and your statement is correct, yes.

They will get BEASTED in the playoffs.

In which case you must think they are one of the greatest lays of all time at the current 6.0-6.4 in the market. Very odd that there is so little to back at 6.0.

obviously i meant ride the wave. not having a good day

No by your way of reckoning they are actually due a piece of luck against the Colts in the Play offs in return for the horror "fumble" call on Polamalu in the last Championship game.

By the way I'm not even a Steelers fan, actually support the Chiefs. But in the same way I don't think the Chiefs are unlucky and only a few bits of luck away from being a wild card team. I can see that the Steelers are not where they are through luck.

Q: How many matches have they won this season which they didn't deserve to win?

A: None!

Does that 3 include last night's game?

lets not get confused. the steelers are not a good team (possibly the worst team in the league with a winning record. the most undeserved at least) but i'm under no illusions that they will continue to right the wave of fortune right through the playoffs. if they win the bowl it should be stricken from the record books or at least written in as a miracle. on this basis i will not lay them

What a load of f*cking sh*t. Possibly the worst team in the league with a winning record? I'm no Pittsburgh fan, but they have a brilliant defense (stats back that up). So with one half of their team so complete how can they be as poor as you believe? Secondly, they have some big play guys in Big Ben, Ward, Holmes and Parker. The offensive line is poor, which is why Ben has struggled alot this year.

Lets not forget that Pittsburgh would have been 4&1 last night on the 1 yard line regardless of whether the ball was in the endzone. They cut through the much heralded Baltimore defence on that drive and had more total yards than the Baltimore offence.

They are a good team, not amazing but good. Much of the criticism above is simply absurd.

No good solid side with a superb D. Offense worries me if i was a backer though. they have an inability to move the ball consistently which i think will be their downfall. i think the Colts will beat them IF Indy get that far. will be a great AFC Champ game imo

of course they were lucky last night. they couldn't break down the ravens d for 58 minutes and yet they drove 89 yards at the end as the batimore d crumbled. nothing to do with the pitt offence being good. they were fortunate that baltimore buckled. if you couldn't see that you need to put down the crack pipe

What exactly was "lucky" about last night - it was a 4th quarter drive ending with a game-winning TD - why is this considered great play by Tom Brady & the Patriots and/or Peyton Manning & the Colts but when the Steelers do it it's considered "lucky"?

Were the Giants "lucky" winners of the Superbowl last year?

If the TD hadn't been given and the Ravens had won in OT would the Steelers have been "unlucky"

Were the Giants "lucky" winners of the Superbowl last year?

YES VERY
