Losers: Pittsburgh Steelers

As with the Chicago Bears, maybe we let offense paint over problems on defense.

Or in the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers, problems all over the place.

This is a frustratingly inconsistent team, one which can trounce Indianapolis and Baltimore, then lay an egg against the Jets. Good teams win games they are supposed to win. Sunday’s game against the Jts was one this team was supposed to win.

So what does that make the Steelers?

You want to assume they get their act together and beat the Tennessee Titans next week before heading into their bye, but can you trust them? A team that just lost to the Jets and has a loss to the pathetic Tampa Bay Buccaneers on its resume?

This might be one of the shakiest 6-4 teams I’ve ever seen, though the Ravens don’t look any better.
