I'm not sure how much I buy into their rating system. I just like to give a little jab at the Steelers every once in while (read 'stirring the pot'). I did find it an interesting read, however. You'll notice that, with the exception of the Patriots, there is generally a high correlation between a franchises visibility and on-field success with how they rate on here. And that makes a certain degree of sense. Fans from a winning team don't get as butt-sore about an alleged offense if their team walks away with a win or has a winning record. That is just human nature. Therefore, you wouldn't expect them to cast as many stones at teams that aren't as visible or productive IMO.
