Of course, simply my opinion. I base my opinion on the fact that since 1974 the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a 45 year unbroken streak of relevancy. There have been very, very few seasons since the season defined by "The Catch" that the Steelers have not been a major legitimate subject in the playoff, if not championship, discussion. This period has spanned 3 coaches and numerous QBs and assorted stars and superstars. The Patriots, though having won a couple AFC Championships previously, rest their claim almost entirely on the Belichick/Brady era. If the Patriots could carry on for another 15 years after those two retire, then they would have a much more legitimate claim.
IMHO. Everybody is entitled to it.

Although I grew up a Colts fan, the Steelers-Vikings was the 1st SB that I watched. That made me an automatic Steelers fan back then,but I'm still giving it to the Patriots because of the salary cap restrictions. I look at their personnel year after year and wonder how they always win.
