There are a lot of teams that could beat us if the right circumstances comes. I still believe that the Saints are the second best team in the NFC, despite their bizarre loss. I still rather face Alex Smith and Matthew Stafford than Drew Brees.And in the AFC, I think the Steelers found the formula to stop the Patriots. Tom Brady is one of the most accurate passers ever, but moreso in short yardage than 20+ yards. He's not deadly accurate with long passes. And it's even harder for them because none of their playmakers is good at getting separation in deep routes. The Steelers jammed the LOS and played cover 1 pratically the whole game. Blitzing Brady is just stupid, so they covered aggressive 5 to 10 yards, played mostly man but usually with a rover near Welker, and it worked wonders. They were able to stop the run, which limited Brady in playaction. If the Patriots can't find a deep treat, they aren't going anywhere. Plus that defense is abysmal. How the heck could Belichick suit such unit? Maybe, just maybe, he's overwhelmed by so many functions (DC, HC, GM).</blockquote>
