So, if the teams and divisions are so similar, the difference between two rings and zero rings has been Ben...
He played well enough in the playoffs that year to get us to the Super Bowl where his defense, running game, and a Randle El to Ward TD pass was enough to win it. Rivers has never played well enough to guide a team featuring LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson, Shawne Merrimanm, Shaun Phillips, etc. to the Super Bowl in the first place.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Comparing divisions, let us count how many times the teams in the divisions have been good over the course of their careers. For the sake of argument I chose ten wins in order to call a team good.
Since 2004, how many ten win seasons?
AFC West:
KC - 3, 66 wins
Oak - 0, 49 wins
Denver - 4, 93 wins
SD - 4, 100 wins
AFC North
Browns - 1, 51 wins
Bengals - 4, 82 wins
Ravens - 5, 95 wins
Steelers - 6, 105 wins
So, Browns > Raiders, Bengals > Chiefs, Ravens > Broncos, Steelers > Chargers. It isn't always by much, but it is across the board.
Anyone who has been following football the last ten years can tell you that the AFC West and NFC West were the two worst divisions in football for the majority of the time.
