Saw most of the Steeler-Dolphins game last night. It's fairly obvious that the Steelers were a bit lucky to win it all last year and will definitely not be repeating this year.
Great defense. Troy Polamalou will have an outstanding year. Ike Taylor is one of the top corners in the game. Joey Porter is Joey P. Casey Hampton at NT stops the run as well as anyone else.
Offense sucks. Willie Parker is an average rb. Heinz Ward is the only above average receiver they have. Heath Miller is a very good tight end. Ben Rothlisberger is a good qb, but often injured. They'll miss Bettis.
Cincy will beat them out for the divisional title.
Miami still sucks, even with Culpepper. They will likely finish 9-7.
Although we haven't seen all the first round games yet, the 5 elite teams are likely to be (in no particular order:) New England, Denver, Indianapolis, Carolina, Seattle, Cincy...oops that's 6!
Next in line comes the Giants, Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, Steelers, etc.
