Pittsburgh's reign as NFL champion all but ended Sunday thanks to a 27-0 stomping by the Ravens. At 4-7, all that's left is another week or two and some fancy mathematics to make it official.

But what has caused such a quick and dramatic decline? The last two seasons the Steelers were a combined 31-7 (including the playoffs). Now, with virtually the same personnel, they are just two games behind in the race for the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft.

Not surprisingly, there are many reasons.

Coaching. So Bill Cowher decided to retire after the Super Bowl. That's fine. I understand. But the Steelers should have hired a replacement. It's nice they're trying to honor their legendary coach this season by placing a cardboard cutout of Cowher on the sidelines in memoriam, but the team has obviously suffered because of it. And, really, the cardboard-cutout Cowher is not a very good representation of the man who stalked the Steelers' sideline for 14 years. It is expressionless. It has no passion. It is unaffected by what happens on the field. And heck -- [color:"white"] the Steelers could have at least hooked up a $10 garden hose to the cardboard Cowher's mouth with some duct tape so they could make it spit sometimes, you know? A little effort would be nice. [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

Everything has its cycle.

I saw the article and actually thought it to be quite humorus myself. We down right cant put a full game of football together no matter what we do. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

For a couple of years prior to last year, I repeatedly told Squeeler fans on DT that their window was going to close soon and they had better get it done before the thing slams shut.....as oorah said, things go in cycles.

They did last year...they got it done.

Although I do enjoy small slivers of joy due to their lack of success this year, I would garner more joy if our team were to be successful. I would rather we "get it done" instead of having to enjoy their failures......

This was a funny article.

So, where is the article titled: "The Browns - From Chumps to Chumps"? <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
