Nope, not buying it...
Seriously though. They are not a great team and they will lose at least 1 of the next 3. I don't expect them to win any of the 3, but they have the best chance beating SD, and that isn't a gimme game either.
I get respecting them, but some fans just seem almost to cheer for them to win and think they are a good or great team, which is ridiculous. The Steelers struggle against Jacksonville, they struggle playing out west (most east coast teams do) and they are traveling a lot these next few weeks. A good or great team could win, but that is not what the Steelers are. They may be the best team in the AFCN, but that isn't saying anything special about them.
They tied Cleveland, lost to Baltimore, lost to KC. As of now the only team they beat that we didn't was the Panthers and they got to play them at home. So I don't get the mindset that the Steelers are going to run the table and lose only 1 game the rest of the season. It is one thing to say they win the division, which is possible, especially if we come up short, it is another to suggest they are a top team in the league and will easily overcome their challenging schedule. That is giving them way to much credit.
The steelers will be as good as the refs will allow. If goodell wants the steelers to beat the saints,they will beat the saints.
