Don't question that Rodgers would again dice the Steelers defense. I just think the Steelers offense is the most prolific in the division and would have the best chance to go toe to toe.

Statistically, yes, but Rodgers would light up that secondary like an Xmas tree.

This is how I feel they go

NFC North

AFC North

NFC South/AFC East/NFC East(all are pretty even but I'd rank them in this order).


AFC West

AFC South



NFC West

Sorry, but you are being a homer here. Usually I agree with your sentiments about the Ravens even though they are a little biased, but this is too far. Packers ARE that much better than anyone in the AFC (NFL really).

To a certain extent I am seeing things through biased glasses but not that much. If you look back at some of their games they haven't been destroying everyone and I said that I would give the Ravens' D the best shot against Rodgers. That isn't a stretch.

Destroying people doesnt matter to me though. They won the SB and their offense is ridiculous. Ravens D would give them the best chance probably true. At least on paper they are a top 5 in most categories. But Packers have scored like 25+ in every game this year. I dont think the Ravens hold them under 24. Ravens have blown some teams out, some good teams. They also have 3 losses....

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not saying they have to blow everyone out to be legit. I'm also not saying the Ravens could hold them to under 24. I'd just give them the best chance of doing it. Aaron Rodgers is playing out of his mind and he has a solid receiving core. It's hard to think that they won't repeat but I guess only time will tell. The Ravens have 2 losses albeit one of them is inexcusable (Jacksonville).

Your right, 2 loses.

Even if the Packers dont repeat, it doesnt change the fact that right now, they are head and shoulders above the league. But only right now. As a Colts fan, I know week 9-10-11-12-etc means shit.

He's definitely a monster. I recall him being a good college player but he has far exceeded my expectations of how his pro career would go.

By toe-to-toe, I'd say "like last year". I'm a lot more comfortable with Pittsburgh when they can set the tone with defense and they're not in shootouts with other teams. Especially teams that have Aaron Rodgers. IF they can get to him and force turnovers, they could beat the Pack. So far this year, forcing turnovers hasn't really been in their favor (still -10 or more, I think...defining LOLFAIL to a new level), which means a 41-28 sort of loss.

I'm just saying that besides the Saints (obviously not in the AFC North), Pittsburgh has the only offense in this division that can score like an Arena League team if they need to. Bengals have a nice little offense with Dalton but he's managing games more than slinging it. Flacco has had a couple of nice games but I don't trust him, or that offense, to put up big scoring numbers. Browns would consider it a fucking "victory" if they'd finally get in the god damn end zone in the FIRST quarter. smh

I'm actually comfortable with Ben slinging the rock around. I think that they can be very good at that if they let him do it more often. The receivers they have are great and they have RBs that can damage people when they start to forget about the run. If they can shore up some of their defensive problems (William Gay) then I'd say they can compete with anyone.

Not saying they'd beat GB but it could be a closer game than a lot of people think.
