The fact that Indy lost this week only proves a point I was trying to mention in another post awhile back. I know you're Pats fans here and having faith in your team is certainly a given as a true fan. However, many posters here have already written the Steelers off due to their losses to Arizona and Denver. Both teams that, in theory, the Steelers SHOULD have beaten. Most of those same posters are under the assumption that Indy is the ONLY other team in the NFL on the same level with the Pats. Well, Indy's loss to San Diego pretty much sends that idea up in flames. Let's face it, Indy SHOULD have beaten San Diego sunday night! The same San Diego team that was HANDLED by the lowly Vikings and a very talented rookie RB just a week before. Addai SHOULD have run all over them, and Peyton SHOULD have had his way with their secondary. All of these things didn't happen. The NFL is more unpredictable this year than it has been in many many years in my opinion. You simply can't think of any game as a "gimmie" anymore!
As a Steelers fan, I'll admit the Pats SHOULD beat the Steelers in December, but just like any other week.....I suppose we'll have to wait and see. I really think this is gonna be a fantastic game!
I respect the Steelers. I always have. They area niityy gritty team that plays real football. They run; play defense and are not pretty boys.
But you overlook a couple of things. Every good team that the Pats played and destroyed, had a toughh time in their next game. Not only were we they beat; they were beaten up.
The Bolts took 3 or 4 games to recover fully. The Colts are two games into their recovery. but their infirmary list is pretty long.
