TBH I have to say the Steelers Pittsburgh has some unique pass-catchers, and a QB that can keep the play alive. Right when New England thinks they have him sacked, he could escape and make a big play. The Steelers and Patriots have not met this year, so they are not familiar with each other. Pittsburgh is on a bit of a hot streak and has the grittiness to contend in Foxborough in December. The Steelers are also accustomed to harsh conditions.
I say the Colts are a pretty close 2nd with their great passing game. I have to say Denver is 3rd, with an injured Peyton Manning. Cincinnati is 4th, Dalton still hasn't won a Playoff game - not that he's getting much offensive support - and the defense has struggled. |

Pittsburgh also has a solid running game to balance their passing game out.
I'd say San Diego is a close 5th behind Cincinnati. The Chargers played New England close earlier in the season, but that was at home. Baltimore is hardly behind San Diego. The Ravens have a good defense, but I don't see Flacco having a better chance than Rivers of winning in New England. |

*Switch San Diego and Cincinnati
The Chiefs are 7th with a good defense but a real shaky offense. Houston is last, playing with a backup quarterback. |

| The Ravens are the team the Patriots almost always struggle against. If anything, the Ravens will beat the Patriots, but I don't see them getting past the wild card round. |

| @ext, Yeah, I thought of that. But the Ravens of the past had a more solid secondary. This year their secondary is one of the worst in the league, and New England's offense is already dangerous enough. |

| Most of your points are good, but I won't really refute any until I've had a chance to study the Steelers a bit more. I'll look out for them in the playoffs. |

| Hmmm and what about my statement is wrong? The Ravens are 5th in the league in points allowed. I believe that qualifies as a good defense. And Rivers is better statistically than Flacco in yards, completion percentage, yards per attempt, and quarterback rating. |

with our secondary? I don't give a damn if "oh the run defense is good!!! :D" and "Oh we get a lot of sacks! :D" Our defense is abysmal and any top QB would be able to pick it apart. (hell, Ryan Tannehill picked it apart) We've been lucky by playing backups and third stringers.
Phillip Rivers and the Chargers as of late have shown me nothing more than the Ravens have to be able to walk into NE and beat the Patriots, however if I have to choose a QB to go into NE and go head to head with Brady (Rest of team aside) I pick Flacco. |

"Our defense is abysmal and any top QB would be able to pick it apart"
Yeah I said the secondary is horrible. The defense as a whole is good. Last I checked, 5th out of 32 teams in points allowed is actually better than good.
"I pick Flacco."
Flacco and what army? You only have one pass-catcher with over 50 receptions, and Flacco is at least somewhat responsible for that. The Chargers have a better passing game. |

I said if I had to pick a QB, teams aside, to go to NE and play Tom Brady, I'd pick Flacco.
Meaning Flacco is a better QB to take into New England to play a playoff game against Tom Brady than Phillip Rivers, which he is lol.
Flacco is bad, and so are the Ravens for giving him that contract
Go sit in the corner and reflect on how you lost the NFC East some more. |

| Well, that's your opinion. I'd have to disagree based on the numbers they're both putting up and the weapons each QB has. |
