They have the talent to repeat. However, team chemistry and injuries have more to do with getting into the playoffs then talent. Also teams become less motivated after they win a championship. The Steelers would finish poorly without Big Ben.
I think the Ravens have improved and may be a playoff team, while I feel the off field problems will cost the Bengals this year.
Without injuries, the Steelers should win the division. The Colts are more 1 dimensional without Edgerrin James and they lost a lot on an already light defense.
Denver is solid, but Jake's fragile mental game was damaged by the Steelers last year and then destroyed when the Broncos drafted Cutler.
Miami has gotten better and may challenge the Patriots. The Pats lost their receivers and got a little worse on defense.
The Steelers may have the most competition from their own division again for the AFC.
Seattle improved on defense, but they will whine all year so I don't think they are a threat.
Carolina is the preseason darling, but I think the Steelers are as talented.
So, yes I think the Steelers are good enough to win back to back Superbowls, but you need a lot to go right to get there.

I dont think so.... to be honest I think the NFC will take it this year. The AFC wont be the same without a consistent running threat for Indy... so its basically the Steelers, and the Broncos that have the best chance from the AFC. Steelers can repeat as AFC champs for sure, but I think the Hawks will get the best of them this year in the Superbowl. The panthers will be a lot better this season, so the NFC will be a bit more difficult.
You laugh now... but you will mark my words dab nab it!!!

With how well the Packers are becoming this offseason they're definitly going to the superbowl. Peyton Manning chokes to a lot in playoffs so I do not the broncos will pass. So I am going to mention Packers vs Texans. Packers successful 35-14.

Of course they are. If Cowher doesn't lose it for them. They have won back to back Super Bowls twice before. The players can do it again.
I'm predicting that the Steelers will beat the Panthers in the SuperBowl in spite of their head coach, Cowher will ask to be released from his final year of his contract w/ the Steelers, the Panthers will fire Fox or he will resign under pressure, and Cowher will become the head coach of the Panthers.

They have the talent and heart, no doubt about it. But repeats are tough things in the NFL these days, a lot of "parity." Besides if they do make it to the SB, they may well face an even better and tougher Seahawks team than last January, and without help from the officials this time round, well it looks to me like "Starbucks Time!"

Not without the bus protecting big ben and with Hines Ward being a year older, i dont think so. The defense will hold their own like the Ravens of old, but the offense doesnt have the bulk it did a year ago.

No way! Colt's self destructed and who know's? I guess the Pat's can't win them all. Pittsburgh was the beneficiary of a weird year in the NFL. One dominant team that self destructed.
