I saw this while reading the paper today. Since 2001 both the Patriots and the Steelers have been to a combined 6 Super Bowls. The article makes points for each team, but I thought that OSers could do better than a 5 paragraph article. Thoughts?

Patriots have been to 4 Super Bowls since 2001 (lost once, won thrice) and the Steelers have been to 2 Super bowls (won twice). Even with that one loss, I'd take the three Super Bowl wins over the two Super Bowl wins. The Patriots are still the team of this decade. But I have an inkling that the Steelers are on the verge of getting another Super Bowl or two within the next 5 years. I think they're that good.

Pats missed the playoffs twice, and in those years they were 10-6 and 11-5.

Patriots. More super bowls so far and even if Steelers win the next one they'll be tied for the decade. Even with Super Bowl wins out of the equation Patriots have been the more dominant team, beating records and almost going 19-0.

The only thing i'd say the Steelers have going for them is that Spygate might hurt us when it comes time to write the history books.

Spygate definitely hurts NE. I say its a push. I dont really think its safe to say its either team taking into account spygate

Wouldn't this be more relevant after the 2009 season is completed?

Allegations of rampant steroid abuse did not stop the steelers of the 70's being the team of the decade, can't see spygate being any different for the pats.

1) No other teamw as really in contention for the Team of Decade
2) Steroids weren't against NFL rules and were rampant throughout the NFL
3) The Patriots actually broke rules to get a competitive advantage, that is much worse.
