"The 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers not only repeat their 08' superbowl year but do It in flawless fashion. The first time since Don Shula's Fins went undefeated!"

Can't you just hear it now? A repeat, and a flawless road all the way there? We have the team, the depth, the coach, and now the schedule. Let's break it down week by week:

• Week 1 - Steelers vs. Titans- Hey you Tenn teeth towel stompers! Welcome to Heinz Field. Our 2009 opener will be an all out slug fest with the memory of towel mockery still very fresh in many players' minds. This is the hump that just so happens to be our 1st game. This is the hard one. (please don't let Nate score on us!)
  
• Week 2 - Steelers @ Bears-We just won our match against a rival. Now heading to Chicago to meet up with the Bears and their QB. This might still be an uneasy time for Cutler so we can only hope to make plays off his mistakes.
• Week 3 - Steelers @ Bengals-Palmer is back with some new offensive weapons. You can give a Pinto a paintjob but it's still a pinto. Nuff said.
• Week 4 - Steelers vs. Chargers- Hold on to your hats. We got the best of these fair weather ladies last year so they will be out for bragging rights. I'd love to see Troy snag another immaculate interception.
• Week 5 - Steelers @ Lion- Haha. 
• Week 6 - Steelers vs. Browns-If we want to own Mangini like we've owned past Brown head coaches we'll have to show them once again and stake our territory in the AFC North
  
• Week 7 - Steelers vs. Viking- I just don't believe they have the QB to pick apart our defense.
• Week 8 - BYE-Perfect timing, although it would have been nice to play the ratbirds once and then taken a break. We will be fresh and have to be focused when we head up to...
  
• Week 9 - Steelers @ Bronco- The Colorado Mts! The biggest joke this offseason has been Denver. The coach can't get a hold of his team and it looks as though they didn't draft well to their needs. I say we take this one quite easily
  
• Week 10 - Steelers vs. Bengals-Wax on, wax off..
  
• Week 11 - Steelers @ Chief- For some insane reason I think the Chiefs will not only win their division but put up one hell of a fight week 11. They have been snagging the best of the best in the past 3 drafts and now with Haley at the helm that Pitt attitude will come through.
• Week 12 - Steelers @ Raven-WWIV. Although we conquered the purple Browns all three times last year, nothing is promised this year. Only that these Ravens are all sorts of pissed at us. They want this division title more than they want new colors. I don't want to even think about it till week 11 is over.
• Week 13 - Steelers vs. Raiders- Remember the last time we played the Raiders? They were terrible then and we blew it. Well they're going to be terrible next season and we shouldn't blow it this time.
• Week 14 - Steelers @ Brown-Man Genius has been scheming and Quinn has been slinging. Finally they put up a fight but a cool headed Ben leads us on a game winning drive.
  
• Week 15 - Steelers vs. Packers- Not too sure on this one. The Packers are switching to a new 3-4 and might have it working pretty well come this late in the season. Pittsburgh makes the 3-4 look easy thanks to Dad.
• Week 16 - Steelers vs. Ravens-Extra ambulances are brought in to the field. Hospitals open up vacancy and the Steelers put an asswhooping on the birds.
  
• Week 17 - Steelers @ Dolphin-Sorry Mr. Brown, we may look dumb but your wildcat hocus pocus is going no where today. We are already talking and looking for the playoffs. Focused and cool as ever we finish it out with a win at Land Shark. Jimmy Buffet throws a concert and the fins dance and drink their sorrows away.

So now that we've attempted to analyze our coming competition, (not very well but an educated guess,) we can toss around the idea of going all they way and never going down.

I've been juggling this around in my head and have had my doubts from time to time. The biggest problem with that is that unlike the 07' pats, we don't cheat. But, what we do, is feed off negativity. How many times have the Steelers been underdogs this new millenium? How many times did they set out to prove those nay-sayers wrong?

Without tough losses we could take our team for granted and that could spell disaster. Our 05' run to Detroit was anything but easy. It was hard fought and being the final seed only motivated us to do what no one had done before.

Last year we were acknowledged as one of the best teams that couldn't ever stay on top. The team barely flew under the radar as the Titans stole the spotlight and the new face of Flacco drew some attention.

This year we will have a different look. A look of champions that every team will want to take down. With it will come huge motivation for any David that can kill our Goliath.

Mike Tomlin doesn't want to talk about repeats. As far as he's concerned he's not coaching the same team from last year. Mike Tomlin could be the deciding factor of us going all the way, going all they way undefeated, or not going anywhere.

It's a long way till the season starts, keep dreaming BTSC...
