• Daunte was too nervous and tried to do too much in the end. He rushed too many throws. He's either not ready to be back (nervous about his knee) or not familiar enough with the offense.
• Chris Chambers and Randy McMichael didn't help Daunte; Wes Welker did.
• Offensive line and secondary (besides Wil Allen and Hill) need an upgrade.
• The Dolphins will be better later in the season, but will probably be a 10-6 team. They'll make the playoffs as a wild card or nearly miss it. I'd hate to be a Dophin player in the next 11 days. Ouch. :)
• Tillman and Goodman need to learn how to tackle.
• Ronnie Brown needs to become a better pass blocker. We definately need to work in another back to wear down the defense in the third and fourth quarters.

The Steelers:

• Defense is still strong
• Overall offense still has its weaknesses.
• The score would have been the same with Batch or Ben in. They are both the same style quarterback.
• Offensive line breaks down late in the game.
• Willie Parker is fast, but they still need someone bigger for the short yards.
• The Steelers will be an 11-5 or 12-4 team and make the playoffs.

At this point, I'd guess that Cinci will win the AFC (without seeing all starters play).
