They get fluffed up every year because they're the biggest bandwagon team besides the Cowboys

Wheaton has a stinger also, and Sammie Coats has fallen out of favor with the team in fecent weeks. Their offense looks much weaker than it was a year ago.

Having said that Ben is still a top 5 QB. Do I think that guarantees that the Steelers will be a good team? No. Just look at the Saints.

However, if I were not a Bengals fan, I would likely view the Steelers as the team with the most potential in the AFC. But, as a Bengals fan, I believe our team is better. There's at least a very convincing argument to be made there, if it isn't outright obvious.
