Here comes some negativity

BTW Utts, did you just cut and paste your comments about the Broncos destroying us from last year at this time?

The Steelers supposedly unstoppable offense has been out gained the last two weeks by opposing teams with a back up QB.  The last time the Steelers played a team with its starting QB in place the lost by 9 to the Seahawks.  To anoint  the Steelers as "the best team in the AFC" is absurd.

The Broncos have only won 3 of their last 7 games with 2 of those wins coming against the Chargers and Bears.  Their supposedly awesome defense has given up 24 or more points in 4 of those 7 games.

I agree here, Pittsburg, while I do think they are pretty good, is not the best team in the afc. With Andy Dalton we probably should have beat them a few weeks ago. Their defense is suspect and their offense really doesn't produce much against our defense. 

With Andy Dalton we are the best team in the afc and I have no doubts about that. Without him? I really don't know. I guess you say new England if only because of Brady and Gronk, but do you really trust that injury riddled team? 

If McCarron can prove he can handle more of the offense and the bengals don't feel like they need to pare back because of him,  then, and only then, cincinnati might jump back in the conversation. 

Monday night will tell us a lot about what we really have with McCarron. It will tell us much more about where the coaches really think he is in terms of running this offense. And if he is given more it will tell us where he actually is running this offense.
