[QUOTE="wallymartin"] A lot of interesting games this week.
Chicago (1-2) @ Detroit (2-1)-Detroit needs to prove it's really that good, Chicago needs to prove it's not that bad. This game will make-or-break both team's seasons.
Green Bay (3-0) @ Minnesota (1-2)- Packers look good, but I'm worried about this one. Vikings might completely shut the run down and Brett is historically terrible in the Metrodome.
Seattle (2-1) @ San Francisco (2-1)- Early indication of division winner?
Tampa Bay (2-1) @ Carolina (2-1)- See above.
Pittsburgh (3-0) @ Arizona (1-2)- Steelers vs former coaches
I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Pit vs AZ won't be as good as you think, I know your probably thinking Ken Wiz and Grimm know the Steelers real well, but if you have looked closely at the steelers this year they really are dramatically different then they were last year.
Now the Cowhers gone Dick Lebeau is going crazy, Cowher kept Lebeau on a very tight leash believe it or not, but now that he's gone has expanded the playbook dramatically and is using much more exotic blitzes then ever before, on top of this Tomlin is also incorperating Tampas Cover 2 into our Defense, but he's not out to change the D, he's just evolving it. So if you thought the Steelers D seemed better this year your right, with almost the same crop of players it has become dramatically better.
If you were wondering why Ken didn't get the job as head coach in Pitt, Big Ben may have the answer as believe it or not the two really didn't like each other at all,the offense has also dramatically changed this year for the better.
If anything the Cardinals are at a disadvantage because guess what Ken has been doing to the Cardinals especially on O? He's making them much more like the Steelers team of years past play wise.
You shouldn't take this from me though this site has a much better analysis then me.
Here's a break down of how Tomlin is making his mark on the D as well as Dicks new tricks.

Oh I know, Pittsburgh should walk all over them. I was just remarking on an interesting note, the fact that Wiz and Grimm are facing their old team.
