I hope you’re right, but the last few years this team- even when it has been good- just doesn’t inspire any confidence in me like teams from years ago. It’s likely due more to my aging fan attitude than team performance, but I used to be surprised and think: “We’ll get 'em next time!” after a loss, and now it’s more: “Again?!”

Yea. Which would likely give the Steelers the division. With their cupcake remaining schedule, I see them losing no more than one game before the week 18 meeting, and maybe they lose none. After Sunday, I really don’t think the Ravens deserve to be ranked at #2. Not sure who does, but the Ravens are not as good as their good days (and might be almost as bad as their bad days).

For many years, these two were my least favorite team of announcers. They are now about the only duo I don’t mute (well, I do like Kevin Harlan). I think it is partly because they have gotten better, and I think it is partly because everyone else has gotten so much worse. I once liked both Collinsworth and Romo. Now their endless praise grows tired part way through the first quarter.
