Bye bye, Ben. Eagles will smoke you.
The Steelers are in trouble! They can't beat Miami's defense with a rookie QB!
Err...umm...the Dolphins are really bad.
Ben Roethlisberger can't beat the Bengals and Marvin Lewis's defense!
Well, you see...what had had happened was....the Bengals are really bad this year. Yeah, that's it.
There's no way a rookie QB can win three in a row, even against the Browns!
Okay, fine, so maybe he can...as long as it's against the Browns.
Bill Parcells will tear apart the rookie! This kid is going to regret entering the draft early and wish he'd stayed in Ohio playing against UCF!
These players clearly gave up on Parcells, it's horrible!
Bill Bellichick is going to blitz and confuse the hell out of a rookie QB, it's finally time for him to wilt under pressure! The honeymoon is over, Pittsburgh!
....Fuck. Maybe he's for real.
I'm starting to see a trend here.
Just for the record...
Eagles fans have been calling for the top spot for weeks and now it's theirs. But waiting in Week 9 is the Steelers, who have a little bit of experience in knocking off No. 1 teams.
The Steelers opened the season at No. 26 in our rankings. Guess we were wrong about that one.
