NFL: biggest joke is prediction Pgh Steelers to SuperBowl
I want to see the Steelmen do well, but I am realistic
this is a good team, nowhere near a great team
at least 5-6 other teams are better, beginning with Oakland and NewEngland
I expect to see a rematch of these two in January
I had to laugh about this prediction back in late preseason
esp when Pitt was favored in NewEngland for NE home opener
that was an easy money bet
the Steelers have an over-rated defense, over-rated running offense, over-rated QB, over-rated HeadCoach
last year was the fluke
Kordell managed to avoid making mistakes well
the receivers did well
the defense is hinged by Defensive RookieOfYear Kendrell Bell
now Bell is injured, running game is suspect, Kordell is very shaky, Coach Cowher is predictable, and the entire offense is butter fingered
last year they were near bottom in special team performance, with last night's kickoff TD given up to Raiders killing the comeback
last year they were near bottom in RedZone TD performance, with two times now in two games showing zip after 1st Down Goal to go
Steelers to the Super Bowl? not a chance
maybe into the playoffs, only because their division is now 1-7
the only win came from two division rivals playing each other
go Patriots
for the second week, they were NOT favored
for the second week, they crushed their opponent
both offense and defense looked stellar
maybe the Patriots will be favored over KCity next week ?
