You're almost right there.

But you didn't answer my question about elitism.

Tough baloney, Pittsburgh won a pretty ugly Super Bowl, but the great teams win games even when they are playing below par.

I think most would agree both teams played below their best football. I don't take issue to a team losing by being outplayed...too bad that wasn't the case in this game.

But the fact is, the game is history...weak play and horrific officiating notwithstanding. But don't expect the world to believe the Steelers won the game on their merits...it's simply not true. I wish you luck on defending the crown...going to be tough in the AFC. Seahawks apparently have another weak schedule from what I've read.

Should not be. Outside of their division, they should have the hardest schedule in the NFC.
