I've seen some NFL "Power Rankings" showing Pittsburgh as the top team, and I think that is laughable. I don't think it will last long anyways because I think the Patriots will beat their ass
The Steelers are a fraud and will get spit out of the playoffs. Jacksonville already stomped them. I don't think they would even finish 5th in the NFC

What I will say about Pittsburgh is this, their schedule is incredibly soft this year and they SHOULD BE 10-2, but they've been one of the least impressive 10-2 teams in recent memory. The thing is talent wise they do have quite a bit of offensive talent, so talent wise they probably should be 10-2 as well..........it's weird but it seems like they've been tremendously underwhelming, even though record wise they are about where they should be. I agree Vodka I think New England tags them this weekend, and I would not be surprised to see Jacksonville beat them in the playoffs. Jacksonville in fact looks to getting better, while Tom Brady is struggling a bit the last 4 games.....is father time finally catching up to him a bit? Would not be surprised to see the Jags with that defense make a serious run at the Super Bowl in the AFC, still don't know if they could get by New England in a snowy Playoff game though. I might get hell for riding the Casey Keenum train for the Vikes, but I like that defense and he's actually playing very solid football right now, if the Vikings get a top 2 seed I can see them winning the NFC.
If I had to make a pick right now it would be
New England vs Minnesota
My Darkhorse pick would be
Minnesota vs Jacksonville
The NFL's Dream Super Bowl would be
New England vs New Orleans(Brady vs Brees)

There are very few mainstays at the elite and at the moment you have Belicek and Brady and you have Tomlin and Worthlesburger. Being a Bengal and Buckeye fan that does not bode well for me. You would be crazy not to take both of those teams vs the field if you were a betting man. |

Pittsburgh has 3 players who will keep them in every game - Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Leveon Bell, if you can't see that then you're fooling yourself. If one of them gets hurt then all bets are off. The loss of Shazier hurts but they still have the capability to outscore every team they play.
It's really a shame what happened to Wentz - he was having an MVP season and had Philadelphia in line to get to the Super Bowl. They still could do it but I don't have much faith in Fowles. I would love to see New Orleans make it back to the Super Bowl.

If one of them gets hurt then all bets are off. Very true. Their only really weakness is: run defense. They don't have any. But then, hardly anyone really tries to run anymore. So, it's not likely to hold them down. |

I haven't watched a complete NFL game this season..except for the Steelers-Ravens game a couple of nights back and I must say, it was very exciting and entertaining. Looking forward to the playoffs

Jacksonville destroyed Pittsburgh 30-9. I feel pretty confident several of the top NFC teams would tear the Steelers up |
