Best team in the NFL?

[OrganisM]

Top team is obviously either the Colts or the Saints. They're unbeaten. I'd put the Saints on top because they've got the most pieces in place. Indy is rock solid but they're quite thin at several positions. After that, it gets a little murky. The Vikings are a trendy pick, and rightfully so. I wouldn't put the Bengals up there. Until recently, they've had a lot of questions at virtually every position. They're riding a hot streak, but I expect them to fade as the season wears on. There are number of teams that are playing well but with some questions.

In regards to the Steelers, I wouldn't say they have a terrible offense at all. Remember, that terrible offense won the game in Superbowl XLIII. Roethlisberger is on pace for a great season, with almost 2,500 yards so far. Rashard Mendenhall has been performing quite well, and the O-line is finally getting it together. I think I should also mention the presence of Superbowl MVPs Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, along with Heath Miller (easily one of the best tight ends in the league), and Mike Wallace (an excellent rookie).

I think the stats and rings at the end of the year will speak for themselves, just as they did last year. All the trendy picks of the season of course will fall by the wayside, as they almost always do, and the pundits and fans continue to show that they don't really have much of a grasp on the sport they invest so much time in. Meanwhile, the best teams show up and get it done in the end, with no regard to what columnists have to say.
