I have come to find out that there is a pretty big letdown the year after a super bowl win. Not for the team, but for me. The best you can do is be as good as last year, which is impossible given how the Steelers won so many close games.
So what is the key? The offensive line. It was mediocre last year and almost cost them many times. Thank god for Big Ben. Here are the scenarios:
The O line gets better: Steelers win the Superbowl
The O line stays the same: Steelers win the Superbowl
The O line gets worse: Steelers win the Superbowl
The O line dies in a plane crash and the Steelers have to recruit off the street: Steelers lose the Superbowl in OT.
So there you have it. Write it in your blog if you like.
Love,
Aaron
