Pittsburgh PA.

The pompous pious hierarchy of the Pittsburgh Steelers made a terrible mistake in not acquiring the highly talented Terrell Owens.
With the forced departure of Super Bowl MVP wide receiver Santonio Holmes and with the many miles on the aging body of the great Hines Ward, who will fill that deep threat void left by Holmes?
I am not a great fan of Big Ten running backs and Rashard Mendenhall will have to prove how rugged and durable he is over a 16 game regular season. With uncertainty at quarterback with Roethlisberger and the absence of Holmes, the Steelers may be in for a very long season. The Steelers' very formidable defense will have to rise to the mountaintop and perform a miracle.
Apparently the Steelers have written off this season as training camp begins in Latrobe, PA in a couple of days.
I believe with the acquisition of Terrell Owens that the Cincinnati Bengals will have a very good chance of moving ahead in the playoffs in the AFC North. The Bengals have by far the best quarterback in the AFC North in Carson Palmer, and if they can run the ball effectively and stay injury free, the Bengals could advance in the playoffs. Marvin Lewis can handle Terrell Owens who is one of the greatest talents to play wide receiver in the NFL in the last twenty fives years. Ochocinco and Terrell Owens will be quite an explosive in tandem as wide receivers. Plus the Bengals have wide outs Antonio Bryant who is recovering from ACL surgery along with Andre Caldwell and draft choice Jordan Shipely. The Bengals defintely have depth at wide receiver along with rookie Tight End Jermaine Gersham who promises to be a great one. And the Bengals might have the best young defense in the AFC North. Is this Mike Brown's year ?
Bengal ticket sales have also increased as a result of getting T.O. Don't believe all the negative hype about T.O. Terrell Owens is a winner and the Cincinnati Bengals are a much better team with Owens on their roster.
I have always admired T.O.'s work ethic and dedication to the game.
Go Bengals!
The Baltimore Ravens may have had the best draft on paper in the AFC North in 2010, and it appears as though the Ravens have improved their squad with the free agent acquisitions of Anquan Boldin and Donte' Stallworth.
The Ravens receiving corps of Boldin, Stallworth and Derrick Mason is superb, and they might be the most productive in the NFL this year.
The Ravens also have a very good consistent running back in Ray Rice who was the greatest running back in Rutgers University history. Ray Rice is the most electrifying and hardest running back in the AFC North. Ray Rice will be a Pro-Bowler for many years to come. Joe Flacco, the Ravens' quarterback has developed into a top flight quarterback but the Ravens' defense is getting very very old particularly with Ray Lewis and in the secondary with Ed Reed and Company. Ray Lewis may have enough juice in the tank to propel the Ravens into a very deep run in the playoffs.
Championship teams are made in the torrid hot summer days of July and August. Look for the Bengals and Ravens to advance in the AFC Playoffs.
