Steelers are team to beat in AFC

[pokerkai]

Steelers are so not the team to beat. Roethlisberger is playing tremendously but sooner or later hes gonna come down to earth.

philly has had a fairly easy schedule so far this year. i want to see them play a pretty solid team like pitts on the road before i think they are anything special

I wouldn't say it's been that easy. Philly has just made it look easy (well, their first 5 games at least). Their opponent's so far this year have a combined .571 winning percentage (24-18) in games not against the Eagles.

who said they are anything special? the nfc is loaded with mediocre/sucky teams that philly is easily the best. the closest to them is the vikings, and that's almost laughable.

I'd say the Giants are the next best team, which is pretty sad.

Nice win in Pittsburgh yesterday. Maybe we'll get to see if you can repeat it:

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] without a bye week to prepare

BTW, I could construct pretty good arguments for both Tennessee and KC being better than Pittsburgh.

Am I the only one who realizes these two teams are a combined 6-9? KC is the same team they were last year, without Dante Hall winning two games for them, and they weren't that good then. All offense, and no defense. And Tennessee? This isn't the Tennessee team of the past few years people.

I was talking about McNair.

My argument would have a little more to do with Pittsburgh being overrated than it would Tennessee or KC being underrated.

Big Ben is the real deal. The defense is playing pretty well, too. They totally outplayed the Patriots yesterday, on both sides of the ball - and maybe even showed how overrated one Tom Brady is.

And all this stuff about Dillon being so important...the Pats didn't even HAVE Dillon till this year...can't Brady win with his defense and Kevin Faulk in the backfield?

KC and Tennessee both suck, the only way KC wins is when they play a team with an equally poor D (yes, like the Colts), and Tennessee...well, they just can't keep players on the field. Pitt's winning with a rookie QB who can handle the pressure, and a solid backfield and D. Philly oughta be careful, but I think they'll handle Pitt.

Sure New England won 21 games in a row and 2 of the last 3 Super Bowls, but Pittsburgh beat them YESTERDAY! They are clearly the team to beat. [ /sarcasm ]

Don't worry. The Steelers will fall back to earth next week.
