New England.  They have the full package.  Offense, Defense, and Special Teams.  Philly is a very close second.

Pittsburgh has virtually no offense....I don't care that they beat both.  Dallas almost beat them.  That says enough.&nbsp:D:DMoved herei>

do you have any idea of the team stats? or did you just make that up?

if you actually knew stats rather than telling us your opinion you would see that the steelers are much better overall than both teams.

E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!

In all my life, of 23 years :D , this by far is the best Eagle's team that I seen, considering this years team is breaking all the club records and have blown out most of their opponents by double digits. I haver never seen the team play so well on both offense and defense because it is usually lopsided one way. It has really been an amazing season so lets hope we can get over the hump and into the superbowl.

P.S. I think the Steelers were lucky we were having an off day, which happens now and then. Hopefully we should see them in the battle for PA bowl. :happy:

@GBUASH: The Redskins have the #2 defense. If they can just get their offense going they will be a real formidable opponent. Pittsburgh almost getting beaten by Dallas is sad though. No one should almost lose to Dallas or even lose to Dallas. Hopefully that does not happen to the Eagles next week.

Boog, the steelers has the momentum, you cant deny that, and their offense is actually resourcefull. Agreed, they dont have the best QB, nor the best RB nor the best Receivers, but they have chemistry, or Ben Roethlisberger success is just a big coincidence?

My fav are the steelers but they are not going to win the superbowl (Im not even sure if they are going to be in it) just because Ben, despite how good he is, he is still a rookie and I dont think he can handle the pressure in playoff games.

But give them 3 more years...

Hmm.

In looking at the full package, Pittsburgh's lack of offense makes my choice. Pittsburgh's defense is #1 in the league, but at a hair behind them at #2? 4-9 Washington, who only 40/yards per game worse than Pittsburgh on offense. Pitt has a good defense, but no one is comparing them to the Ravens or Bears.

Pittsburgh rated #22 in the NFL in offense.

New England rated #9. Like I said...Pittsburgh has virtually no offense. Philly is better by a hair than NE in offense and Defense, so my theory behind picking NE? Experience in the big game....where Philly has....well, choked in the last 3 years.

That being said. I mentioned Pittsburgh's offense being weak. You obviously are the one who didn't know the stats, as they flat out tell you otherwise. NE #9, Pittsburgh #22.

4th time is the charm!!!  We have the X factor, Pinkston!  Teams won't be able to handle that action.  :D

hehe..I tried to say that as kindly as i could, jmole. I didn't want to get you Eagle fans upset. I know how vindictive you all are. ;) :laugh:

The Patriots are better of the 3 12-1 teams. They are a proven winner. They know how to win the big games. Now since they have a running game, I can't see any team that will prevent them from getting their 3rd super bowl in 4 years.

I don't get upset when people say we choke, we are used to it. 76ers, Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies. You name it, we blew or we will blow it. I do not think you can lose the way our teams have over the years. I think we have broken all mathematical possibilities when it comes to losing it big when it counts in the end. I just hate when people say our teams suck, except for the Phillies, when obviously we don't since the Eagles, Flyers, and 76ers make the playoffs in their respective sports year in year out, except for the Phillies once again because they really do suck. It is just unfortunate that the city is cursed and can't win championships. I would seriously just be happy if we made the Superbowl even if we don't win it.
Hmm.

In looking at the full package, Pittsburgh's lack of offense makes my choice.? Pittsburgh's defense is #1 in the league, but at a hair behind them at #2?? 4-9 Washington, who only 40/yards per game worse than Pittsburgh on offense.?

offensively the Pats only have around 500 more yards total on offense...that's not even 50 more yards a game. the ranking really doesn't mean that much. it's more about the yardage. plus the fact the steeler defense has allowed about 1000 yards less defensively than the patriots. the steelers have one of the best rushing offenses so no reason to rack up yardage. and another fact, roethlisbergers's passer rating is actually higher than brady's.

the steelers aren't a greedy team. that's the main difference here. they aren't like indy who runs up the score and stats constantly. the steelers can have the ball in a game that they have the lead and be 10 yds away from the end zone and still kneel it with 2 minutes left. it's all just a different style. and to base a better team by offensive ranking only is rediculous.

...and to base a better team by offensive ranking only is rediculous.

Ridiculous, but somewhat more accurate than basing it on defense.

Pittsburgh

Points for: 290

Points against: 190

New England

Points for: 365

Points against: 217

So, those 500 more yards on offense = 75 more points.

Those 1000 less yards on defense = 27 less points.

Now, both teams have scored 4 defensive TD, so the spread is still there. Like I said, Pittsburgh's defense is good, but they aren't legendary.

New York Jets..........Enough said

You say this, yet they've lost to both AFC teams actually on the poll. :whistle:

I'd have to say the Pats. Sure, the Steelers took them down at home, but you can't win ever game. When it comes down to it, the Pats have shown that they know how to get there and win it once they do, unlike the Eagles. The Eagles do have more talent with additions like TO and Kearse, but the Pats are the best until someone can prove otherwise in the postseason.

    • Copilot in Excel just got a major upgrade by Usama Jawad It's no secret that Microsoft is trying to get as many people to use Copilot as possible. This is being done through various means, including integration with OneNote, Defender, Windows, and more. Microsoft Excel is the most popular spreadsheet software out there, so it makes sense that the Redmond tech firm would integrate and build upon the capabilities of Copilot in this tool too. Now, the company has implemented a major upgrade in this integration. In a blog post, Microsoft has made Copilot smarter in terms of context awareness in Excel. This makes the AI assistant more useful when asking questions about your data in nautral language queries. Previously, Copilot would only make inferences based on the cell that you have selected, and it typically worked quite well in this scenario. However, Microsoft has realized that workbooks and sheets have become more complex, which means that Copilot needs to be smarter too. This means that you no longer need to select relevant data when asking queries about it, you can simply ask questions such as "Show me insights about the data I was just analyzing" and "Sort the table in the top-right", and Copilot should just work. Microsoft says that this major upgrade in Copilot is due to combining cell signals with chat history in order to make inferences. It also supports data ranges, which means that it can serve as the foundation for even broader context in future updates. In order to get customers to trust the inferences that Copilot is making, Microsoft will highlight the data that the AI assistant is using. This enables customers to further refine the dataset that Copilot is using so that they can get the most accurate responses. Smart context awareness is available on the web and the following versions of desktop: Windows: Version 2505 (Build 18623.20058) Mac: Version 16.95 (Build 2506.3090) Meanwhile, the visual highlighting feature is also available on the web and the desktop versions mentioned below: Windows: Version 2505 (Build 18705.20000) Mac: Version 16.96 (Build 2506.4070) Microsoft has requested customers to provide feedback through the thumbs up/down icons present at the bottom of the Copilot response cards.
    • We should probably just focus on how nice it is that finally another company is taking reusable rockets seriously. I can't believe there are so few players and many rockets in service today are still completely expendable. Hopefully Honda can scale up theirs and add some badly needed competition. I want to see planes become irrelevant for global travel and we use rockets instead.
    • Yea. It's obviously being deprecated, in case no one noticed or forgot all the announcements and changes. Not such a big deal.
    • The best thing would be to just allow more options to let users pick the layout they like, it doesn't matter at this point really and it's not that hard to do as evidenced but all the 3rd party menus/tools that let you change it in lots of different ways. If you give the users more options they'll be happy, take them away and you have a problem.
