So this week we get to watch the Steelers play the Lions. Yawn city. The only thing worth taking note of is that Troy Polamalu will likely be healthy enough to play. Of course, this is on par with a minor league scrimmage game, and Troy could probably use another week or two to get back to 100% and the Steelers should still roll through a few easy games.
The only other storyline for this game is Larry Foote hosting the team he won two Superbowls with. The only way that could have less impact is if Mitch Berger were talking about it. So let's take a look around the rest of the league this week. The quarter-season mark is usually where QBs get benched and coaches get fired, so surely we'll find something good to talk about.
Right now the Ravens and Bengals are tied for 1st in the AFC North, but only Cincinnati is impressive with it. This team is supposed to be awful but here they are in contention with probably the two best teams in the NFL. The Browns are still a joke.
Indianapolis takes on Tennessee tonight. Isn't this supposed to be a marquee matchup? How has Tennessee not won yet? It's no surprise that the Colts are 4-0, and they seem ready to cruise to 5-0. How long until Vince Young is back in at QB?
No one has a clue what the deal is with the AFC West. Denver is undefeated, San Diego is sitting at .500. Bizarre division. Chargers will still win it and make their Superbowl bid this year.
Who really cares about the NFC? I'm rooting for New Orleans, but it's tough to care about teams that have nothing to do with the Steelers. In another story, the Redskins' next loss will be Jim Zorn's last game as a head coach. Mark it.
I'll go more into the Detroit/Pittsburgh matchup tomorrow.
Here We Go.
