Steelers aren't beating the Bills or the Chiefs for that matter.
I'm not sure.. Bills have been beaten, Chiefs have had some fortunate thrown their way. Steelers, maybe overlooked somewhat.

Aw hell naw! I hope the stealers go the way of the 9ers. Not a team I dislike more them. I cackled gleefully when the Packers beat them in the Soupy bowl

Dude is playing lights out even if people here hate admitting it. Good for him to turn it around.

It's never him when they win. It's always him when they lose. Exactly why I retired from that subject long ago.
I still do enjoy the denial though. He's long gone, it's cool to see him playing well again. Has no impact on the Hawks. It does suck that it's the Steelers though. Puke.

Steelers won't come close to the Super Bowl, which is great, but the guy is having fun playing football again. Cool.

I would not rule out anything but the Steelers getting to the SB would probably be the biggest surprise since the Giants in 2007/8.

What would be REAL fun, is he gets there only to lose to the Seahawks.

He is the 58th highest paid QB. They should be winning with cap space to invest in front of him.

I think Russ and the Steelers are going to be the favorite in thr AFC - either them or the Bills.

Tomlin and Smith have built a team around Russ that is exactly what he needs. Their line provides enough protection, their running game is solid, and their defense (although it can be beaten, is stout).

Smith had Russ doing the simple things and works a lot of his stuff off of play action and Russ is working from within the system really well.

Tomlin is an excellent coach who constantly has his teams playing over their heads, but they usually hit a wall in the playoffs with their talent gap. Id still take the Chiefs and Bills over them, and probably the Ravens too. Would be cool to see though. Id root for them against most of the NFC contenders, definitely against the Lions or Eagles. Actually, that might be all the NFC contenders...

If it's an all Pennsylvania Superb Owl, I'm gonna be sick.

I couldn't bare to see the Steelers in the Super Bowl, but I think people are overrating the Chiefs this year. They keep eeking out wins and barely beat the Raiders this week. I don't think they have it this season.

It's cool to see him have success again. Like I've said, he's Denver's failure, not ours. Hopefully he can keep it up while keeping the extracurricular off-field cheese dialed down.

The Cheese will always be there. Meh. He's a dork, always has been. But, so am I.
He's also a hell of a football player, always has been. And he's not out there doing drugs, getting busted for DUI or DV.
