Mike Tomlin is in his fourth season as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers’ 27-21 win over the Bengals on Sunday night resulted in the fourth consecutive season where a Tomlin-coached team has opened the first-half of the season with an impressive 6-2 record.

This is not as surprising as it seems, though, since Pittsburgh has a veteran-laden team and consistency within its coaching staff that together often combine for strong starts. However, like the previous three seasons, the Steelers’ ultimate success in 2010 will be contingent upon continued health of its aged roster.

game planning will be a big part of it. will the steelers continue to play the passive defense towards the end of games like they did last year?

I had forgotten that we started 6-2 each of the last 4 years. Thats amazing. Hope we can keep it up like in 2008, and yes staying healthy will be a big part of that...

Something to be said for consistency, but you got to keep it going for the year. Time for Tomlin to step up and demand this team perform better. We were too close to letting the Bengals steal a game that they did not deserve to be in.

It's nice to get a good start but it's how you finish that matters.
