There is no way that the Jets will win over Pittsburgh. The Jets have been way to lucky this year and should have been knocked out last week if it wasn't for a rookie place kicker. A team like pittsburgh will just eat them up. They aren't physical enough and they aren't smart enough. Maybe in a year or two, but not yet.
Steelers match up evenly or better at all positions except maybe kickoff returns/coverage. They would truly have to have an awful game on both sides of the ball to lose.
QB - even (debatable, though)
RB - even
FB - Steelers
TE - Steelers
OL - Steelers
WR - Steelers (big time)
DL - even
LB - Steelers
DB - even
K - Steelers
P - Steelers
KO returns/coverage - Jets
Coaching - Steelers
Intangibles - even

the jets 2 punt returners average 7.6 randel el gets 8.3
the jets kick returners average 22.6 the steelers average 21.5and on the QB side chad's rating is 91.0
Big Ben is 98.1
Pennington probably outplayed Ben this game. Moss did better than Randle El returning kicks (obviously). Otherwise it was just the fact that Doug Brien needed a tiny gust of wind behind him on one kick and just folded under hte pressure the second. The Steelers escaped.
What a game that was. PHil vs Minn that was just fantastic. The eagles deserved to win that one I mean look how long McNabb had to throw that football was insane. You could have put in a pee wee football kid out there and he would have probaly gotten one completion. the eagles were lucky in alot of the game also with all the challenaged plays that went there way and also the lucky catch i forgot who got it but when the guy caughte the ball got tackled the ball flew out of his hand sand then another reciever caughte it for a touchdown. I feel the eagles were meant the win.
And from what i saw from how good the eagles line is i would have to say they will be going to the superbowle this year for sure.
but for that whole paragraph for the eagles of why they should go to the superbowel and why they are a good canadiate to win all i have to say about the patriots is this TOM BRADY
It's god damn ridiculous. Colt's don't deserve to win. But one thing I hate about watching NFL football is that is sooo god damn biased it's not funny at all. First, its all about the Colts on how good there offense is. Now because the Pat's are winnings, its all about them. Why can't i watch a game with commentary about both teams and not just one. That's one thing thats bad about NFL coverage is that the commentaters are soo bloody stupid.
exactly my thoughts sam. I watched the phil minn game and they say how great of a game hooker had and how he intercepted one and had a few good tackles and randy moss was really playing a good ball game catching almost everything except maybe 3 and they say he is not playing like himself im like come on man moss is a ****ing stud. But for real though peyton manning is not having a good game against the pats tom brady is playing like tom brady but manning isnt throwing really that great at all from what he usally does. i mean how often do you see brady getting sacked and manning is out there getting sacked more then once.

im not sure exactly what you said but i can tell you this manning only got sacked once and freeny was all over brady but brady is smart and got the ball out quick
Manning played a decent game. He wasn't his usually self, which is almost impossible to do every game. It was the weather and home-field advantage. His teammates are they dumb ones, fumbles, dropped passes and other crap. Edge James I felt ran like a beached whale. He would turn up field to run, but forget to turn the wrong way and ran into somebody. It was just a bad game for Indy, and i dont think it was totally Manning's fault. Also, the Pats played an excellent game.
In terms of commentaters for the NFL, i feel there is only a couple that are very good and not biased. That is Daryl Johnstone and Tony Sirgagusa. They generally talk about whats going on the field. The guys from CBS and most of FOX basically jump on a bandwagon each game due to who is playing better. Case in point: Everybody was sucking Ben's dick for the whole season. When he played like shit, they crucified him and talk about how good the Jets were. It was horrible.
Good coverage is hard. I watched the Grey Cup this year, and the guys in the booth were giving excellent coverage for both teams, saying what was bad and what was good for each team. Not just saying how good this one player is.
Ah the Cowboys. Still my favourite team.
They will eventually come back. They have a stud or RB in Julius Jones, who I hope has a good sophomore year. They have one the best TE's in the game. They still have the backbone for an great defense (just need to add a pass-rusher, solid CB, replace retired Woodson and get one fat SOB for DT). If they find people in the offseason, they could contend for a playoff spot.
And add a QB. But hey, they have 2 1st round draft choices this year. (Thank god they got a good deal for that)

If Ben plays like that again against the Colts or Pats, then its no contest at all.
I'm not sure how accurate that statement is, because the first time they played 2 of the first 3 Steeler touchdowns were direct results of a big defensive play, and last time I checked their defense is still intact, if not better than it was on October 31st.
