Boy, the Steelers are bad.
 

This is not the same Steelers team of last year, this team isn't very good. Loss of Aaron Smith and Polamalu to injury really hurt them. Big mistake letting Bryant McFadden go and it's showing. Farrior is really starting to show his age and now Ben is out with a concussion. Personally, I don't see how they are going to make the playoffs and if they do, they will barely sneak in.

I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing the Bears' defensive struggles have something to do with Brian Urlacher not being there. Am I saying the Bears are 7-2 if he is? Heck no, but it's amazing how taking away your "leader" on defense makes a difference.

Big Dumb gaining about 50 pounds in the last year (most of it in his head) hasn't helped either.
