Agree but the Steelers have a much better offense that could the Pats defense some problems.
The Jets defense won't be able to stop a healthy pats offense. The first game was only close because the Pats dropped about 10 passes but the media only brings up the Marshall drop.
Pats should be fine against either team though.
Steelers can put up points. But the Steelers have no defense. The Pats D has improved from game 1, and the Steelers add Bryant to the mix. It would be a shootout, but if the Pats return enough of the offense, then I expect the Pats D will slow the Steelers enough to win. Brady was flawless in that game, and was hitting passes at will. The x-factor is Bryant. The Pats will return without Lewis and Solder, but a defense that is playing better (3 sacks in that game, and I would expect more now). I expect the Pats underestimated Williams as RB (he was the backup to Bell at the time), and will not do that again.
The Jets don't have a great offense, but have a defense. I would hope the game looks a little more like their first meeting, but that was no cake walk either. The Pats still are seeing drops (although that game was ridiculous).
