What a way to bounce back from a slump: 7-2 and 1st in the division. Naysayers can say that the Steelers have a soft schedule, but they should really win those games first. By the looks of their play from the last 3 games (CIN, BAL, CLE), which were all division games, the Steelers know how to take care of business. The only thing is, the Pats seem to be having a monster season. But I like what I'm seeing from Coach Tomlin, he is smart and aggressive and is a perfect match for the Black and Gold. Roethlisberger has bounced back in a big way, and if not for Brady's "inhuman" performance, should be on top of the QB standings with 22 TDs and 7 INTs with still 7 games to go. Dec. 9 will be the litmus test vs. the Pats. I just hope they give a good fight.

The Steelers are looking strong and with the Colts recent skid might be the best team to challenge the Pats in the AFC.

Coach Mooch said yesterday on NFL Network that in order for the Steelers to have some success against the Pats, they do have to put that ball-control offense in full mode to tire out that stellar but aging Pats D. The more Brady and Co. sits on the sidelines, the better the chances. And I think the Steeler D can put more pressure on Brady than any other D in the leaugue this season.

i agree with u on steelers d giving Brady headaches , if they can do it the whole game they got a legit shot at keeping it close but i really think these Pats are heading for history i have watched several games and the chemistry is unbeleiveable with Moss Brady Wekker and Stallworth and gang i can,t beleive Wekker came out of no where Miami must feel like fools letting him go now but that combo of recievers is so perfect one great short route runner one tall decent speed route running and then the reinvented one time perfection receiver Moss has been nothing short of everything he was in Minnesota.they Defense could be alittle better but hey it is working fine so far

yeah. i think the most important receiver in the Pats lineup is Welker because he is the best slot receiver in the league. that's why it's hard to key on Moss, because Brady will dink and dunk a D to death with Welker. Belichick doesn't even hide his cards anymore: the passing game is his preferred arsenal, to hell with balanced football. But the Colts game showed that if a team can successfully run the ball at the Pats and control the clock, the Pats lose their rhythm. And that's what I'm banking Tomlin to do. But first things first, the Steelers need to demolish the Jets and the Dolphins ( i'm not too worried about the Bengals anymore).
