    What the hell...who cares about losses??? What are you favorite Wins of all time???

    Why does someone want to relive losses? Screw that this is a new season.

    What are your all time favorite wins??? In no particular order what so ever here are a few of mine.

    1. I will never forget the Monday Night game against the ravens when James Harrison had his coming out party. All the 70s Steelers were there and James gave them a show.
    2. The playoff game against the oilers in the 80's. Merile Hodge was the catalyst in a game that was tooth and nail and the Steelers pulled out a stunning upset
    3. Superbowl XLIII James Harrison, Santonio and Ben Helluva game
    4. the playoff game that got us to XLIII thanks to the int. by 43
    5. Superbowl X was the 1st Great Superbowl Swannie's catches will live on forever
    6. Superbowl IX the 1st Superbowl, I remember the 1/2 time score was 2-0 and Dwight played a helluva game for being sick. LOL

    I know there are a Ton more, let's hear what you got.

    I made a black-ink line-drawing of Hoge from an image from that game. It’s still framed on my parents’ wall.

    From the old days - 1974 AFC championship game win over Raiders in Oakland that launched the dynasty

    Many years later Joe Greene would say that only once in his 13-year NFL career had he and the Steelers’ defense been in the zone—where the unit could do no wrong—and that was during the 1974 AFC title game.

    From the not so old days - win over Colts in Indy during the 2005 season playoff run (the Bettis fumble on the goal line game)/2008 season AFC championship win over Ravens (the Troy pick 6 game)

    Super Bowl 43 with the Harrison INT and the Santonio catch.

    05 divisional game against the Colts: The crazy ending will never be forgotten (and probably not replicated in football on any level for at least 100 years). I also consider this the de facto Super Bowl of the 2005 season. It was the most dramatic moment of the season, the closest they came to losing during the 8 game winning streak, and the Colts were the 2nd best team in the NFL that season and would have likely rolled over the Broncos and Seattle Crybabies had they managed to win

    Also 2008 and 2010 playoff games against Baltimore. Beating the Ratbirds to make it to the Super Bowl was great. Then 2010 coming back from down 21-7 thanks to 3 consecutive turnovers and 3rd and 19 (and our first introduction to AB's greatness)

    The game in 2005 against the Bears, that started their run to the SB. In the snow and the only one who could move the ball was Bettis. Running over Brian Urlacher and into the end zone. Still one of my all time favorite plays.

    I still can’t believe the mods let that thread go for so long, when there were others that were deleted right away.

    Sorry about the hijack.

    My favorite SB win is still SB XIV. It was pretty evident that that was going to be the end of the run for a while. Didn't think "a while" would be 26 years, however.

    My favorite regular season win was when the Steelers beat the 49ers in Candlestick in 1984. That was also the only loss the 49ers suffered that season.

    No need to appologize this is a fun thread post away!!!
    I remember that game at candlestick. My old boss was an asshat and a niners fan. I loved that game even more so because of him.

    1984 was probably one of Noll's best coaching jobs. To get all the way to the AFCCG with Mark Malone under center took some serious coaching.

    1997 Steelers at Patriots*

    *(they weren’t the Taperiots yet; they were a good team who didn’t need to cheat.)

    Steelers down by 8. The Patriots had a 3rd-&-7. If the Pats converted, the gane was over. Bledsoe dropped back... and Kevin Henry intercepted the pass. Kordell made two heart-stopping throws (TD, 2-point conversion) to tie the game, followed by a 40+ completion in OT... to grasp a victory from the jaws of defeat.

    I. Went. Apeshit!!!

    Super Bowl vs Cards. Harrison's 100 yard interception, Ben/Holmes clutch drive+TD catch.

    I'll always remember the AFCCG vs the ravens that lead us to the Super Bowl. One of the best crowd atmosphere's I've watched(The crowd noise was noticeable through the TV the whole game, turned up in the 4th)

    I still remember the '79 AFCCG when Mean Joe absolutely stuffed Earl Campbell single-handedly in a third-and-short yardage situation to force a punt. And that was still when nobody stuffed Earl Campbell.

    The Steelers were the reason some guys invented the flack jacket for Dan Pastorini. Even with the flack jacket the Steel Curtain continued to hurt him.

    This may be a little weak, but I still love the game in Baltimore that was Charlie Batch’s last start 2012. 23-20 win. I met Batch at the James Farrior Foundation outing......what a great guy. Talked to everyone as though he’d known them forever. No ego.

    Any win without Kordell as the QB.

    SB wins of course.

    Games in the 70's. When football was football.

    I was banned on that MB. Why? Because I insulted Kordell. However, it was ok to insult any other player.

    I was banned multiple times , for what ? talking about players in the coming draft .... their logic " not steeler related" ...gee who would ever think the draft isnt steeler ( and 31 other teams ) related
