They have beaten the Browns, Steelers and now the Ravens. Or are the Steelers still the team? -

Bitchburgh did what it does against the Lions today -- playing to the level of its competition and squeaking out a win. I think the bloom is off the Baltimore rose, so if Bungles fan is a little giddy at this point, that would be understandable. But when the dust settles, the Steelers will still be the best of this bunch. One thing a competitive division might do, however, is make it more difficult for a wild-card team to sneak out of the north. Looking around the league, I think the early success of Cinncinnati might look like good news to teams like Green New Jersey and San Dago (or more likely Denver). -

After four games yes.
That is a TOUGH division though. I wouldn't want to play those guys twice a season. -

Posted by zbellinoWe get the NY Ravens twice a year now, with franchise QB and receiver...Hopefully nobody realizes that Mike Holmgren would be perfect for the Buffalo offense, or things could get difficult -

And I think they could take the Steelers by surprise in their first head-to-head matchup.I'll be interested to see how they do when they lose the element of surprise. -

Nick not really interested in the Bungles being the team to beat in the North. Just wondering if you saw my boy McGowan recover that fumble? -

Posted by MaritimePatsFanYea, but did you see how excellent our zone defense was today? Cost us at least 3 timeouts while they got their sh*t together. Continuity would be nice.And your boy Chung whiffed on the punt block.
