And of course, I really really really hate losing to the pats!!!

Amen brother!!
Losing too the Ravens is really nauseating. I hate that classless/thug organization with every fiber of my body. I work with a Ravens fan who likes to run his yap. Needless to say he was pretty quiet last season and I hope he's in for another dose of the same thing this year too.
Other than that there isn't a team in the league that concerns me during the regular season...........The playoffs!! Well that's a whole different story............I get indigestion just thinking about it.

The team I most scared of is the Pittsburgh Steelers, becuz the only way they lose is if they beat them selves. While the Ravens and Patriots all good choices remember how the Steelers lost those games. Int's for TDs, ill-advised fumbles, penalties and bad coaching have all lost games for the Steelers. I'm not saying they could go 16-0 but to me they are never over-matched. IMO the Steelers could score with the best of them. Plus they have a dominate defense they can shut down the most potent offenses. So I vote the Steelers.

The legs of Michael Vick are something to be afraid of. While inside the pocket, Good to Go, outside the pocket, things get a little scarey.

Proven is ultimately correct, but if we are talking about other teams, I say the Chefs.

The Colts and Pats can be beaten by pressuring the QB and forcing them into bad decisions...we know this because we did it to the Pats last year, and the Pats did it to the Colts a couple months later. The Chiefs are a big unknown, and with that potent offense, and a very improved defense, they could be the team to beat this year...

In this order:

Pats - becuase they are freaks

andd besides that I think there is no team to be "scared" of. I think the Steelers could beat any other team in the league this season. But Andy Reid scares me because he runs that goofy offense, Mike Tice scares me because he doesnt know how to use his RB's and thats all.

I'm going to have to say The Pats. They can attack team weaknesses very well.

[RoethlisBURGHer]

Afraid of a team?No,not at all.

Hopefully these important games will actually mean something this year come postseason. Ben isn;t a rookie anymore, so I have high hopes. :)

I would say you were pretty much over-matched in the Championship game last year.

I think you just about listed every possible way to lose your average football game ...then said 'if we didnt do this we woulda won....'....kinda obvious if you ask me.

When is a fumble not 'ill-advised'?? (Running fault)

INT's for TD's (Throwing fault)

Penalties/ Bad coaching (Preperation fault)

Yep..I think its fair to say that if you avoid all these in future you will go 16-0 on a regular basis and waltz off witht he SB too.

Most of you lucky enough to still live in Steelers Country, probably dont have to worry about the humiliation at work, in stores, from neighbors, hell from friends, strangers and even family. I live in a hostile envirorment, cleveland well 35 miles east of crap town, I take it all. But I can handle it, I live for it, I love it!
