Read this and tell me why anyone WOULDN'T pick PIT

I know this is being discussed in a bunch of :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: threads, but I'm not going to cross-post and I can't decide which thread to post in, so here's a new thread.

Check this out and tell me why it's so objectionable that people in the media DARE to pick Pitt over NO.

...And as for the heads on tee vee, let's see, Pittsburgh is still the defending Super Bowl champs, who are at home and are desperate to salvage their season. Vs. a team that was 3-13 last year, are on the road and could be argued to have shown some complacency 2 weeks ago against an AFC team. If I weren't a Saints fan, I'd probably pick Pitt too.

No respeck!

How do you figure?


Can't speak for anyone else, but here's why it's "objectionable" for me:

Great stats are only important to losing teams when they're losing.

We Saints fans should know that all too well.

This article on the Steelers really sums it up for me:

The question I asked myself, with all of the debate going on, was the following:

Since the Steeler's and Saints stats are so similar going into Sunday's game, which QB would I want to be going into battle with: Drew Brees or Ben R?

Therein was my answer. :crazy2:
