Most of the original NFL teams stayed in the NFC,why isn't the Pittsburg Steelers in the NFC?

When the AFL merged with the NFL, the NFL had more teams, so some had to switch. The Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Colts were the other two teams that switched.\n\nMost of references to that trend that I've heard refer to original NFL teams, which would include the Steelers. Furthermore, the Seahawks are originally an AFC team.

Pittsburgh, they have a good solid nucleus that is going to stick together. San Fran is so far out of contention it will be a long time before they are even in the playoffs again and Dallas needs to get a top QB before they will compete for a title.

Because they are a better team, Big Ben did not get in the enzone for that TD. Seahawks are better the (ref) let Steelers win Seahawks had TD's called back the oods where against them  playing so close to Pittsburgh the game was giving to the Steelers and if these so called football fans think other wise they need to go wacth it on video. The Steelers knew the game was given to them thats why you dont see much or hear much about it. Pittsburgh has not had a good team since Terry Bradshaw, Jack Lambert , Mean Joe Green Franco Harris, Lynn Swyan, and so on. Theres next year and it will not be played in DETROIT

I don't believe there are two teams that have been around that long who haven't played each other. If there is, I'd be very interested in knowing. We're talking NFL, right?\n(Packers played Bills in 2002)

They were made in 1933 by the Rooney family. They were called the Pirates. After a couple years of that they changed their name to the Steelers, so people won't be confused about them or the baseball team. In the 1940 during the world wars. They were combined with the Eagles to make the Steagles. After that they were always known as the Steelers

Because the Steelers always lose in the championship game, if not earlier. This is the first time that the Bungals have won the AFC North in a while. But they are ready to show that Palmer and Johnson(and everybody else) will not crack under the pressure in thier 1st playoff game. But they will lose to the Steelers in the 1st round.

At that time, the NFL did not award the conference championship game to the team with the better record.  The site of the conference title games rotated from year to year depending on who made the game.  So for instance, one year the order of precedence may have been West Division champ, then Central, then East, whereas the next year it was Central, East, West, and the year after could have been East, West, Central (also remember there was only one wild card team, and only three rounds of the playoffs).\n\nAs it turns out, that year the Central had precedence over the East, so the Steelers hosted the title game that year.

because having a one bad season doesnt make you a less of a quality team...not like the texans or 49ers...they have consistently shown they are not great quality teams...but they still have fans...now take the titans..they have decent years..but now they are really struggling......your team cant be the all amazing ones year after year..no matter who you are....\ngo steelers!! steeler faithful for life

The Steeler jerseys of Stallworth's era did not have the Steeler logo on the front. The numbers of this era are square, not curved as they are now & there was a bicentenial patch on the front. The name tags were sewn on, not silk screened on , like the replica jerseys of today.

The Steelers have a great team, and they could be even better next year (they should try to keep Randle El and pick up a tough in-between-the-tackles runner). Unfortunately, the odds are against them. As we know, the Patriots won the Super Bowl after the 2003 and 2004 seasons, and made the playoffs this past year as well. However, the two Super Bowl winners before that failed to make the playoffs the following season, and the past four Super Bowl losers (prior to the Seahawks) have failed to make the playoffs in the following season.

I LOVE THE STEELERS! actually I have a rookie card of Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers are one of the best teams in football history. Not only are they good athletes (most of the time) but they are good humanitarians as well, giving back to the community in which they live. THat means to me that not only do they do their job, but they appreciate the people who support them.

On October 26, 1993, NFL owners unanimously selected Carolina as the 29th NFL franchise and the first expansion team since 1976. Fireworks exploded over uptown Charlotte as jubilant fans gathered to celebrate the news. "This is a dream come true for me and my partners and for the 10 million people in the Carolinas," said Carolina Panthers Owner/Founder Jerry Richardson, who became just the second former player to own an NFL team along with George Halas of the Chicago Bears. \n\nThe "dream" began on July 16, 1987 when Richardson met in Charlotte with a group of interested parties to discuss the feasibility of entering the multi-city competition for two NFL expansion franchises. On December 15, Richardson officially announced an NFL franchise bid for the Carolinas. \n\nOne of the first orders of business was to choose a stadium site. Locations in North and South Carolina were considered. On December 15, 1989, Richardson Sports selected a site in uptown Charlotte as the future home of a privately financed NFL stadium that would seat more than 70,000 fans. \n\nAcross the Carolinas, support for an NFL expansion team poured in at an unprecedented rate. U.S. Sens. Jesse Helms of North Carolina and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina lobbied NFL owners on the Carolinas behalf. Likewise, North Carolina Gov. Jim Martin and South Carolina Gov. Carroll Campbell formed a blue-ribbon committee of leading citizens in both states. Fans demonstrated their enthusiasm by selling out preseason games in Raleigh, NC in 1989, Chapel Hill, NC in 1990 and Columbia, SC in 1991. \n\nAt the League owners meeting on March 18, 1992, the NFL reduced the list of expansion candidate cities from eleven to seven with the Carolinas making the cut. Two months later, the NFL narrowed the list of expansion hopefuls to five communities – Baltimore, St. Louis, Memphis, Jacksonville and the Carolinas. \n\nHowever, on October 20, 1992, NFL owners decided to delay the expansion vote until the fall of 1993 because of a labor dispute between the League and the players. Fortunately, on January 6, 1993, the League and the players approved a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. On March 23, 1993, the expansion race officially resumed. \n\nOn June 3, Richardson Sports revealed its impressive plan to privately finance a 72,300-seat stadium from the sale of Permanent Seat Licenses, club seats and luxury boxes, beginning on July 1. A remarkable 15,000 pieces of mail from first-day orders were collected. By the end of the first day, all 8,314 club seats sold out and all 104 luxury suites were reserved and ultimately leased. First-day PSL orders totaled 41,632. \n\nFinally, on October 26, 1993, NFL owners unanimously selected Carolina as the 29th NFL franchise.

It's tied between the Cowboys and 49ers with 5. Dallas got them in 1971, 77, 92, 93, and 95. San Francisco got theirs in 1981, 84, 88, 89, and 94. If the Steelers win the Super Bowl they'll be tied with the other two.

They have found evidence that it is a very old game, possibly even played in ancient China and Egypt. It was brought to perfection in England, mainly in the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to the industrial revolution teams were formed in the cities with heavy industries (Manchester, Newcastle etc) and they began playing competition.\n\nMind you, *steelers*, everybody is welcome to play football.

The Cardinals are the oldest continuous professional American football club in the United States. The team was formed in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago. The club was then called the Racine Normals since they were originally located on Chicago's Racine Avenue (not Racine, Wisconsin, as mistaken by many). They then changed their name to the Racine Cardinals after they started wearing red uniforms, inherited from the collegiate Chicago Maroons.\n\nAfter becoming a charter member of the NFL in 1920, the club was renamed the Chicago Cardinals. During the lean years of World War II it merged into the Pittsburgh Steelers and became one franchise usually referred to as Card-Pitt. The Cardinals moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1960 becoming the St. Louis Cardinals. The club then relocated to the Phoenix metropolitan area in 1988, first playing at Sun Devil Stadium in the suburb of Tempe. The team was known as the Phoenix Cardinals before it started using "Arizona" in its name in 1994.
