2006 AFC North Season Preview

[RoethlisBURGHer]

Besides, Randle El was only responsible for 35 receptions, 558 yards and one touchdown. Between Holmes and Cedrick Wilson, the Steelers will have that covered.

That's what 98% of Steeler Nation has been saying,but all the haters don't want to believe that El was that small of a player.Believing that losing El will cripple us gives them false hope...just like losing Plexiglass was gonna cripple us.

Miami, Jacksonville, Kansas City, revenge-hungry Denver, Tampa Bay, Carolina and Atlanta.

Miami: This is a win,C-Pepp will be rusty and he's gonna be blitzed an aweful lot just coming off of getting his knee all torn to shreds.And we all saw how good errr bad he was without Moss,can Chambers be his new go-to guy for Mr. INT?

KC: LJ is a big threat and but who is Trent Green gonna throw the ball to?Not to mention this team has no defense whatsoever to speak of.I think we got this game.

Denver: This COULD be a loss.Plummer has something to prove after his choke-job in the AFC Championship Game and with the Broncos drafting QB Jay Cuttler in the first round.They always have a strong running game (which we shut down in the AFC Championship Game) and a good defense.But I still think we can win this one.

Tampa Bay: Good defense,mediocre offense most of the time.They can be scored on and we will be able to keep them from scoring.Last year Cadillac showed he got some dents in that body of his,and our run-stuffing defense will be able to put a big dent on the hood of this Cadillac.Take away the Caddy and what do they have?Not much.

Carolina: Could be another loss.Can we stop Steve Smith?If so,I think we'll win.Nobody even knows who's gonna be running the ball for them.And thier defense is good,but the Seahawks just killed them in the NFCCG.They can be stopped,just stop Steve Smith.I think Ike Taylor can do that.

Atlanta: Michael Vick is beatable,he proved that last year.The guy is a piss-poor passer and thier defense is very pourous.This team will be an easy win.The Steelers will jump out to a nice 14-17 point lead early and Vick will be forced to pass,and we all know he's not good at that.

11-5 worked pretty well so I'll stick with that. As for El leaving, lets not forget Omar was drafted from Bowling Green. It looks like he can fill some of that role pretty well.
