The Pats and the Steelers are evenly matched at this point.
the game they lost to pitt. was without Cory Dillion playing,
I know one guy doesen't make a team but it's tough to go
up against a great defence on the road without a running game
and compete. One thing's for sure, neither team wants to
have to be on the road for a championship showdown as fans
in both citys are quite rabid.....

Yeah.
In my eyes, people like Tom Brady and Ben R. are way overrated. Hell who knows how many Super Bowls Trent Dilfer would have won had he stayed with the Ravens.. I even saw Tom Brady on one the NFL announcers Top 10 QB's of all time.....wtf.
Pittsburgh hasn't accomplished anything yet. The key will be how Ben handles the playoff pressure, and I'm betting it won't help him..
On paper, the patriots and steelers are even, but experience is WAY in favor of the Pats.
The Eagles, in my mind, are undoubtedly the most talented team in the NFL, and TO is what they needed to get over the NFC championship hump. But I wouldn't be surprised to see the Falcons give them a run in the playoffs.
In the end, the luck streak for the Pats will end and the Eagles will be the Champions.
Whew, officially my longest post ever...maybe.
i don't really watch football that much, but I saw the eagles game about a month ago where their QB ran around for 16 whole seconds then made like a 40 yard pass for a TD... then they made a 100 yard interception... :shocked: they totally obliterated the other team

Whoa...you go from who will be in the superbowl to "Tom Brady and Ben R. are way overrated."
I don't like Tom Brady myself, I also don't think he is one of the top 10 QBs of all time, but still. How can you say Pittsburgh hasn't accomplished anything yet? Where have you been? Ben has handled the pressure about as well as a rookie QB can, so far. If they get homefield advantage, the "playoff pressure" will be even less of a factor.
Lastly, look what Pittsburgh did to both the Pats and the Eagles...
The NFC east is a joke and the only challenges philly has had were from the AFC north: the steelers (who they lost to), and the ravens and browns (both of whom they barely beat). The only convincing win I have seen from philly was that one over green bay, the others they just kinda rolled over mediocre teams. Philly cannot run the ball effectively and it will hurt them against good teams like pitt and NE. Their inability to eat up clock with a small lead towards the end of the game with long drives was shown against the browns and the redskins and it will cost them. The D is playing well right now, but they have trouble stopping powerful run teams and it will do them in. I think it'll be pitt vs. NE in the afc championship and the winner of that will take the superbowl. Even if indy is scary with that offense, they won't be able to beat pitt or NE at home in january.
Go steelers!
Go steelers!

Pats have been lucky so far?
Yeah I guess winning the Super Bowl and then going 12-1 the next season requires a lot of luck.
:roll:
Colts and Chargers?
I thought about them for a second. Their upcoming game should prove interesting.
Though good, neither can realistically be considered the best team this year so far.
I actually think the Pats and Steelers are a push right now. The Steelers did beat the Pats eariler this season.
However like Mojoed said, Dillon was a game time scratch, the Patroits also lost Ty Law that game, meaning
they didn't have their #1 and #2 CB in, their #1 RB in, and their #1 WR in Branch. I realize injuries happen to
all teams, but these cannot just be discounted.
They both play very balanced games and have good defenses. If they meet up in the AFC Championship it will be
a very good game.
