I only watched the first half. I was like "we need to lead by at least 10, or we'll choke and blow it."

The Bucks are a young team, but I figured they wouldn't hang with UNC. Still, I give Matta all the credit in the world for not ducking anyone. Since he's arrived OSU's schedule is filled with tier 1 teams instead of the crap his predecessors scheduled.

They had a good showing against Cal to make up for their 4 point loss to UNC.

But what the hell happened against Syracuse? I only saw the final score. Was it really that bad?

It was neck and neck until the 2nd half, then we had a really bad stretch, and it stayed that way.

We sorely lack some perimeter shooting.

No shit.

The Steelers are in complete disarray. Without Polamalu, the defense is average, and now with Ben possibly out, we're all done. Even with him in, things just look off.

Something has to be done about that line.

We apparently need at least a new kicker.

When Rock Cartwright is your offense star, your offense in trouble.

When a 2nd- to 3rd-string RB on a mediocre team lights you up for a kickoff return score & a 4th quarter game-tying TD, your defense is in trouble.

I'm hoping for a repeat of 2004-5, but I know 2005-6 is more likely right now.

They keep this momentum going after half-time, I'll call this legit.

Yeah, I've had my doubts. But, wow. They're offensive is certainly for real. And the D is good enough.

This is impressive, but it could also be them exposing the Patriots. Let's be honest, the Patriots are old and don't have anyone on defense anymore.

I think people still rate them highly because of the last decade, Brady, Bellichek, and their weak conference.

Remember, the Jets held the Saints offense to a single touchdown this year.

Meanwhile, the Saints have to win it all this year because their players are getting exposure, meaning free agency will hurt them. I know Bush will be gone, not that he's much of anything.

The Pats still have a kick-ass offense. Brady, Moss, Welker, any other number of WRs & TEs, Maroney...

Their D sucks donkey ass, though.
