We spend a lot of time talking about planning — whether it’s for the next opponent, the next free-agency signing period, the next draft, or next season. But football also involves a lot of luck.

The Steelers had Ben Roethlisberger fall in their laps with the 11th overall pick in the 2004 draft. Then there’s Santonio Holmes’ back-of-the-end-zone touchdown grab over three Cardinals defenders in the closing moments of Super Bowl XLIII. I think we can all agree that was lucky, too. But it goes both ways: Kendall Simmons was diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes before the 2003 season and a once-promising career began its death spiral. And the 2009 season was a string of unfortunate events (some of them self-inflicted, others just … well, unlucky) that culminated in five straight losses.
And now Max Starks joins Willie Colon on injured reserve, effectively ending the Steelers’ Super Bowl hopes.

Actually, I don’t believe that.............
