i also think that the steelers have a chance to win but lets not take two games and label them as the team the pats are today....give seattle credit,it was the best game they played this year and denver always plays us tough in mile high.....and the pats o is quite a bit more than eldeman with a little lewis and bennet sprinkled in.....hogan has emerged as a downfield threat as shown by his 17.4 yds/catch and 4 touchdowns this year and mitchell had been getting better progressively throughout the year until he got injured and he looks to be full strength this weekend and blount has been a horse all year with 18 rushing td's (i think) and a boatload of yards (but i question the success he will have against the pitt d line) while michael floyd hasn't left gillette since he got here except to sleep while spending 14-16 hours a day at the field pouring over the play book and working out....may as well add that to the resume' while we are at it

Sorry to interject here, but Your comment is about as insulting as it gets, I think. Wizz has been around a long time and I think your comment was a little out of bounds.

Of teams rates 20-32 overall in DVOA per FO, the Patriots played 12 games against those teams out of their 17. 2 vs top 10, one of which was against Landry Jones.
They played 9 games against offenses ranked from 20-32. Only 3 vs top 10. 1 Landry Jones game and 2 against Buffalo.
Last week's win over Houston despite 3 turnovers? The same Houston that was ranked below San Fran in the end of regular season DVOA ranks? Not that impressive.
I get why people would bet the Pats. I'm asking how anyone can bet them large with certainty. Who are the Patriots? How do we even know what a team with the 32nd ranked schedule will do against a good team at full strength? There's just no evidence this year in my opinion.
GL to all but I kind of talked myself out of NE.
... but also don't love Pitt. Just don't see this game very well. Much more confident on the other side

I love all this talk about how easy NE's schedule was. They played the teams on their schedule, what else are they supposed to do? Anyone recall the schedule the 99 Rams had? How did they finish that season?
Not saying I feel great about a Pats bet, just saying the SOS argument has been beaten to the point of nauseum.

</header>5:59 AM PT
Massachusetts State Police have apprehended and charged a man who pulled a fire alarm in the Pittsburgh Steelers' hotel early Sunday morning, authorities told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Dennis Harrison (aka CapeCodCannibal), 25, of East Boston, has been charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and pulling a false fire alarm at the team's airport hotel in Boston.
According to sources, the man pulled an alarm in a stairwell near an exit at the hotel and jumped into a waiting car with two other men and fled the scene, but was quickly apprehended by state police.
The hotel was evacuated while firefighters checked the building. While many members of the Steelers were awakened by the alarm, the team was not evacuated.
NFL security officials were staying at the same hotel and were on the scene during the incident.
The Steelers will play the New England Patriots on Sunday night (6:40 ET) in the AFC Championship Game.

NE #22 in strength of schedule, they can only play who's on their schedule but something to keep in mind when looking at their team stats...especially on defense
Something else that jumps out about their defense is they were good at stopping the run but allowed 3rd most receptions and rec yards to RB this season

It has been loosely reported he is behind the release of Flu Virus in the PITT facility as well

I see Pitt having luck w/ their pass rush but I'm also guessing you'll see a fair share of no huddle from New England to keep their defense off balance.
It sounds like Amendola is fairly healthy now. He's not getting a lot of talk but is big as another possession receiver for New England, especially considering that Brady may not have as much time in the pocket as usual today.

WTF does Carolina have to do with the 99 Rams or this year's Pats squad? Carolina didn't have a cakewalk of a schedule last year. Another useless point you've made.

the easy schedule simply calls into question their dominance, not sure why that's so hard to understand

32nd rated schedule. Widely known they had the easiest schedule in the league. Useless point? Maybe. At least I know some fucking facts.
