Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

New England is still the team to beat, and I dont think its really a debate. They had ZERO rushing attack today and were not prepared for Dillon to be inactive. That being said, Pittsburgh played a heck of a game and appear to be a solid team.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

yeah but they didn't, which sums up the success of the patriots the past year and a half.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

true, I just don't think this team is AS good as people think they are. Luckily for them, they really only have 4 more "tough" games this year.

Based on what? 2003 record?

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

oh i dont buy that they are as good as people think they are for one simple fact: they have no clue what they are talking about.

any team can beat any other team in the NFL on a given sunday, which makes NE's recent run even more impressive. however, it also means that they can lose to cincy and still be the team to beat in the NFL.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

The Chiefs are definitely the team to beat. I was very happy that the Steelers ended that winning streak, finally.

This is just my opinion. If you disagree thats fine.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

well, they are clearly the team to beat in the AFC. Philly is the team to beat in the NFC though. I am just hoping the Hawks can take the next two on the road.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

a team has to have a defense in order for them to be the team to beat. KC has no D.

Re: Steelers are team to beat in AFC
 

Noone in the AFC has impressed me all that much, other than the Patriots of Weeks 1-7.

I'd say the Steelers are the 2nd or 3rd best team in the AFC, behind NE and maybe NYJ.. but they're close to the top, and you can make an argument for them being the team to beat.

If they can beat the Eagles next week, then we're talking best team in the AFC. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
