Best team in the AFC?

It seems like the best team in the AFC changes every week. To me it seems like the Texans hold that title right now. Who do you think is the best?

I'd love to see Oakland make a run for it, but it'll probably be Pittsburgh or New England...typical

I'd still say the Steelers at this point, they're 7-1 against teams not named the Baltimore Ravens. That being said the conference is completly wide open, you can never write the Patriots off, if the Ravens ever get their **** together they can be dangerous, and Houston has the best point differential in the league.

I had Houston as the #1 team, but since they lost Schaub for the year, I think Pittsburg holds the title of best AFC team now.

3 AFC North teams, good to see. :cool:

Same here, except I have my Steelers tied with the Ravens. The only reason we're tied and not behind is because we haven't lost to weak teams, and the Texans loss came before the O-line got their s**t together.

1. Ravens

1a. Steelers

3. Patriots

4. Texans

5. Bengals

I voted Pit. They have the strongest team, so far. Strong defence, decent QB, all you need to win in the NFL.

Either the Steelers or Ravens. Ravens beat Steelers but lose to the Seahawks and the Steelers lost to the Ravens twice but beat the Patriots.

The AFC is so confusing. I would have said the Texans but now Matt Schaub is out for the year. I would have also said the Ravens but they keep loosing to bad teams like the Jaguars and the Seahawks. The only team I can say is the Steelers, even though the Ravens swept them.

Nope. Because he is not a great QB. Simple. What does him playing in a blue collar town have to do with Anything? Are they thought of as sub par in the US?

Great QBs would be great anywhere they played. If you put Ben on the Browns, Vikings, Colts or Jags would he make them title contenders? Nope.

Put most decent QBs on the Steelers and they would still win.

Well reasoned, well argued. You have swayed me.

I am just bitter my Vikes have no qb.

I picked a Packers-Texans Super Bowl match-up in preseason so I'm sticking with it. However, right now I don't think Houston is the best with Shaub out. I'll go with Pittsburgh for now...-Tish-

I picked a Bears/Steelers Super Bowl, but with the way the Pack is playing they look almost unstoppable.

This comment is beyond retarded. I don't even know where to start....

Ha, I picked Packers/Steelers. Right on track :cool:

Yes I did and your response is fairly isolated with little to do with other comments in the thread unrelated to your conversation string. Once I get my composure, I'll actually try forming an argument but I have a feeling you probably won't listen to it anyway.

The only way that Rodgers has been stopped in his career is via concussions. Some team could throw a cheap shot on him, but they would hear it from the media and the NFL forever if they did that.

'In his career'???
...only if his career is 2 seasons old

He is great now. So don't get me wrong.
But he did not have immediate success after taking over for Favre (a team Favre took deep into the playoffs).
Texas Tech also did a good job of shutting his yap (after he ran his mouth) in his last game at Cal.
...so 'career' is a bit of a stretch

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]They aren't. Stop Rodgers and they are done. The problem is stopping Rodgers though, nobody can seem to figure it out.

You are correct sir. I should have typed "stopped at this point in his career." My mistake.

New England= worst pass defense, best pass offense, and mediocre running game.

Baltimore= mediocre passing offense and running game, and best defense.

Pittsburgh= good offense all around, and good defense all around.

Houston= all around decent to good team.

Super Bowl 2012 seems to bew Baltimore vs Green Bay.

Baltimore's defense will shut down New Englands offense. And they've beaten Pittsburgh both times. Houston is the Black horse with an all around average-to good team.

NO TEAM WILL BEAT GREEN BAY IN THE PLAYOFFS AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. A TEAM WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN AARON RODGERS. THE ONLY DEFENSE WITH THAT CHANCE IS BALTIMORE.
