Ive been hearing that they are the real deal and ben is back. I also personally think there the most balanced team in the NFL. Do you think this is the one team that can hang in there with the big gun 5-0 teams? Thats what they have been saying on espn. What do you guys think

I personally think they will. I am a huge Steelers fan, and my whole family is too. I agree with what you said about this is the one team that will hang in with the 5-0 teams. Also a word to the wise: Every time a teams wins, they are closer to a loss. Granted the Steelers lost to Arizona, but at least they got the loss out of the way, instead of later. (like in the playoffs.)
Hope this helped!~

They are for real. Ben is playing like he did the year they won the Super Bowl. They have not changed anything on there offense so far this year, so you can expect them to play ground pounding Steelers football.
Mike Tomlin has given all defense control to Dick Lebeau, so they have taken the place as the #1 defense in the NFL right now.
The Steelers have an excellent chance of making it to, and winning, the Super Bowl this year. Ben is back, and the defense is playing the best they have in 2 years.

They are a team that will make the playoffs. It would be a shocker if they don't. Only injuries will prevent them from making it post-season. It's a given when they play at home, but on the road they are sometimes shaky. They've been banged up the last couple of weeks on both sides of the ball, but at full strength they can be right there to take out the Colts and/or Pats.

I like your choice of words..the Steelers are a very balanced team. I think this is primarily the same group that we had last year, but many guys are stepping up their game this year. I give a lot of credit to Mike Tomlin. Cowher's shoes were hard to fill, and tougher to replicate. Tomlin has really done a phenominal job to get this group back on top.

I dont like them...but they are looking better than ever. The loss against Arizona showed that they arent perfect, not by a long shot, and I dont see em beating the Pats this year (the Colts, if they dont get healthy, wont have enough D to slow Pitt, though. If they face each other without Sanders, it will get ugly...cause Peyton absolutely hates facing Polamalu. Hell, everybody hates facing Polamalu. Guys a freak of nature).
But, yeah they are for real. As my Bengals will find out, twice.

if by balanced you mean pretty good all around then I'd say you're dead on. but i'll take my unbelievably great offense and respectable defense any day.
Go Colts.
Steelers are just a notch below Pats and Colts
