  • Will the Steelers repeat as Super Bowl champions? And if not, who wins?

    Mon Feb 2, 2009 4:46 AM EST

    Pittsburgh beat Arizona, 27-23, in Super Bowl XLIII to win its second Super Bowl in four years and sixth overall. Will Ben Roethlisberger and Co. repeat as champs in the 2009 season?

    Results

    Will the Pittsburgh Steelers win another Superbowl. OF COURSE!! Next year? Probable. But more like in 2010!!

      They will be a better team next year because they will revamp their offense....but that doesnt mean at title.....tough to repeat.

            There's no way to know until the schedules come out. Tomlin said repeat is not the mission. I want them to win always, but be realistic..

              No! Unless the zebras give them help again! This Super Bowl was the worst officiated game since the Seattle/Pittsburgh Super Bowl!

                No freaking way. There are way too many teams in the AFC with more on the ball than the Steelers. Chargers, Pats?

                  I doubt the Steelers will do much in next years' postseason. The Cards exposed some big weaknesses in the so called Iron Curtain.

                    Brady's back in '09. The Pats, Steelers and Colts should compete for the AFC crown; the Ravens, Dolphins and Charges will fade.

                      The Steelers are a solid TEAM, they'll try their best to get there again, it's a long way off for now, and anything can happen before then!

                            It would not suprise me. They already played the toughest schedule for any team and came out on top!!!!

                              They have a good shot. The Steelers D sucked, but they still won. Sepulveda will be back and they'll draft some O-line talent. Ben rocks to

                                There Goal is to Win hands down. People say our D let us down. I say they held them till the 4th quarter to only 7 points. Enough said

                                  sometimes you wonder if superbowl is fixed. Last 2 superbowls that steelers won, were the worst officiating games biased towards steelers.
