It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Roethlisberger has more SB titles than any QB not named Brady in the NFL right now. I don't want to face that when Fitzpatrick is the alternative.Todd Bowles is a better coach than Mike Tomlin. I would personally rather see the Steelers in the playoffs. Tomlin plays checkers and Roethlisberger just put together the most overrated season in NFL history with 18 TDs and 14 INTs. Jets are a much more complete team and will get to Brady.
I think the Jets win this one and the next one to setup a showdown at Foxborough in two weeks. As they would be legitimate SB contenders at that point, the Patriots could finally serve them a cold dish of postseason revenge.

And in the two SB's he's won, and the three that he has been to how many times did he face the Pats to get there? Manning has as many as Big Ben.
Facing those two teams present different problems. Pittsburgh's offense is explosive but their defense is pure trash. The Jets defense is the real deal and their offense is just functional enough to get the job done.
I would prefer Pitt over the Jets. Poor coaching, no defense, an offense prone to turning the ball over and who has a terrible history vs BB and Brady led Pats.

And the NFL not completely in their back pocket.
I'm guessing this is exactly what people said about our poor 2011 secondary, since we allowed a lot of yards on the way to almost winning the SB.
The difference of course, is that the Pats were #15th in points allowed, whereas the Steelers have been much higher all year long. As a matter of fact, aren't they giving up almost the exact same amount of points as we are this year, with our supposed "best defense in a decade?"
While I don't disagree with the notion that their defense isn't good, I think some are taking it overboard.
Seems like the board is kinda split on who we would rather face. Hopefully they both flame out by the divisional round. Houston or KC would be easier.
