    I'm going to throw this out there:

    New England might not even win their division. Buffalo is coming on strong and looking better and better each week. They already have a win in hand. Their +59 point differential is the highest in the NFL. I wouldn't go giving the AFC East to the Pats just yet.

    All the more reason I stated in my post this New England team is not as invincible as people claim them to be.

    Do not sleep on the Falcons or Cardinals either.


    AFC does have some surprise teams I see soon like Jacksonville given their division and possibly San Diego if their rookie class keeps playing lights out in addition to Mike McCoy not throwing away games but that is it for the AFC.... and even then those "darkhorse" AFC candidates look vastly inferior to their NFC counterparts.

    I'd LOVE it if you were right about this, but I predict that Buffalo's point differential will drop by at least 14 points when they meet in Orchard Park. I think New England is going to win that one going away.

    Until Brady gets hurt, don't see it. Buffalo is playing well, but going to take more than wins over Brissett, LA, and SF to make me think they're in New England's class.

    I agree. But they also smoked the Cardinals.

    The Pats and Bills have the same opponents remaining. A lot of winnable division and conference games. Pats have Steelers, Seahawks, Broncos, Texans, and Ravens left on the schedule. Bills have Steelers, Seahawks, Bengals, and Raiders.

    It seems to me that Houston and Baltimore will be better teams than they are right now. So those games are not gimmes for the Pats.

    The Bills road isn't easy, by any means. But I can see the Bills winning some surprising games (Bengals, Raiders, maybe even the Steelers) and the Pats stumbling (Houston and Denver).

    All I'm saying is, don't hand the division to the Pats just yet. I think Buffalo is becoming a really good team.

    Does anybody know if Shazier is going to be back for this game? If there is any possibility of a win or competitive game he needs to be out there.

    It's zero zero right now, the Steelers will always line up and play anybody,anywhere.
    Yes we are at a disadvantage but stranger things have happened. The real question that people should be
    asking is how will the Steelers stop the dink and dunk? They have never figured it out in the Tom Brady era.

    Yea I won't say the Steelers are done yet. Too many games left and Ben is going to be back and so will a lot of these guys that are injured. I still think the Steelers are the best team in this division and will win the division and still have a great chance to get a bye week in the playoffs.

    OK, I don't watch them play, but I just looked up Tyrod Taylor's stats. They're pretty damn good.

    That is the key. And hopefully get that bye week wrapped up before week 17 so you can rest guys like Bell instead of watching them get their knees taken out.
