--Maybe it was the home crowd; Maybe it was the national spotlight; Maybe it was having "The Bus" back in the house -- whatever the reason, the Steelers were absolutely dominant on Thursday night. The offense looked formidable; the defense looked fabulous. And it was all capped off with a kiss from Joey Porter.

Personally, I saw the game and was not that impressed...though by default I would have them in the top 3.

I think they need to remain #1 this week by default. They're the defending Super Bowl Champs and won their first game of the new season. Sure they didn't really dominate, but they weren't playing poorly either.

What is with all of this "by default" stuff, guys? The Steelers' Super Bowl win last year means NOTHING this season. It's pretty clear right now that they aren't the best team in football at this point - that could change, but right now I don't really even see them as a top three team.

They beat the Dolphins and they are considered champions?
