I stumbled across a Steelers thread that a packers fan started where he mentioned the packers have 12 championships, while the steelers have 6. Steelers fans for the most part disagreed. Comments like this ensued:

That means, under the current format, the Steeler's have won 6 Super Bowls and the Packers 1.

as for the NFL Championships, i'll gladly trade 9 of those in for the 4 Super Bowls we won with cast of players from the 70s. the Championships are nice, but during this time of the year, it's the teams from the 70s who are always remembered and honored.
What do you guys think?
