I wasn't holding my breath to be the champion of the preseason or anything, but seriously - the fucking Rams? Come on.

There was a half game difference between the Steelers and Rams records last year and the Rams added a lot of talent in the off season. They're a young and much improved team. Why is it so hard to believe that they might be ranked above the Steelers?

After an 0-4 preseason, I'm surprised that the Steelers aren't ranked lower. I'm fine with where they're ranked. I like it better that way.

Preseason is a chance to evaluate, the record means nothing so how could that factor into anything? In fact, if a team goes winless in preseason, it could arguably put them higher due to them (possibly) testing new waters and being more prepared for the regular season.

Because the Rams suck and Bradford is a total dingbat who'll never win anything. Plus the rest of their division is much improved and ought to beat up on them. I don't see them going better than 6-10 this year, for sure.

:lol: That just sounds like you don't know much about the Rams. Living in St Louis I get a chance to follow them closely and they're building a good team. They've improved over last year with a lot of quality additions. They won't be great this year but they definitely don't "suck".

As a matter of fact the Steelers players like flying under the radar too. It gives them the motivation to prove their detractors wrong. Ben said as much in a recent interview that can be seen at the Steelers official site. Hines Ward always used the negative comments about himself and the team as motivational inspiration.
