are pittsburg and big d in the same class as the pats and colts?

[Matt McGuire]

What's up with everyone using their first name as a screenname or whatever?

Weird for a message board.

And no, no one is in the same class as the Patriots or the Colts.

[Adam Mac]

Nope.. not even close.....

[SanchezMVP2009]

Not even close.

[jimmyp]

Yeah, I don't think Manning or Brady could throw 5 picks in a game.

I noticed that as well - I actually kinda like it.

As far as the question - no, in my opinion, not even close. I wouldn't even necessarily consider the Cowboys a shoe-in for the Super Bowl. The NFC is still totally up for grabs in my opinion.

I think Walter would disagree, but I am one of those who simply points to the fact that they have beaten NOBODY (granted, a Bears team that was completely banged up).

I think they come back to earth as soon as they get punched in the mouth next week. I actually wouldn't be shocked to see the Redskins give them a run for the money in the division.

I think it goes Patriots, Colts, loooooooooong pause, then Steelers, pause, then everybody else.

[Walter]

Well, who has anyone really beaten? The Patriots defeated the Chargers, Jets and Bengals, but they're all struggling.

I'm impressed by Dallas' win over Buffalo. That was a really tough environment and a mediocre team would have just folded.

But yeah, I agree, Patriots, pause, Colts, long pause, Steelers.

[Adam Mac]

I'm strange because I don't like Pitt and I would put Cowboys ahead of them but maybe that is just because Romo is my fantasy stud this year

NAMES FOR MESSAGE BOARDS, THATS A STRNAGE QUESTION TO ASK IN THE 1ST PLACE!!!.....I dont know abt the Steel Curtain, but i think as the season goes on the Steelers will get stronger and pose more problems to the Pats than the Colts will. The Colts in my opinion are very similar to last years Colts team, while the Pats improved dramatically. Yessir!!!!!

It's a little to early to judge teams off of their records. Quite a few teams are underachieving and/or haven't hit their groove yet, and quite a few teams have gotten lucky and aren't as good as they appear.

[SanchezMVP2009]

The Pats have steamrolled everyone they faced. It's about how you win. And The Pats tee'd off on everyone they faced.

[schmidty]

It doesn't take a genius to figure out how for real the PATS are by the dominance in which they are playing with EGGROLL. I mean i see what your saying about this being a little past the 1st quarter of the seaon, but its a decent snap shot so far to judge.

Obviously the Patriots, Colts, Steelers, etc are good. However the Packers, Jaguars, Giants are not as good as they appear, and quite a few teams are better than they appear.

And the Steelers haven't? They beat the Browns by 27, Bills by 23, 49ers by 21, and blanked out the Seahawks 21-0. Only lost to the Cardinals who were playing with so much more energy. Sorry the Steelers don't play as a high powered offense like the Pats and Colts, but they know how run the ball, and they know how to win.

[Walter]

Right, and I'd attribute Pittsburgh's loss to the fact that Arizona's coaches knew the Steelers' weaknesses.
