Congrats. I also said the Pats would ass rape the Steelers. The Patriots haven't played anyone with an offense since Seattle (who they lost to and gave up 31 points to). Big Ben is garbage on the road, Bell went down with an injury. Steelers couldn't even muster a single TD last week on the road.
Also, yes Ryan is, at this moment, the better QB between he and Brady. Did I just start watching Matt Ryan this year? Nope. Have you watched Matt Ryan this year? When I put "Better QB (at this very moment)" that means that Ryan is playing better than Brady. It also means that the past doesn't really matter. Did I say Ryan was the better career QB? Nope.
As for your instance that Ryan will freak out under pressure. You, literally, couldn't be more wrong:
Ryan had the highest QB rating in situations where 5 or more pass rushers were coming. That mark was 123.2. He also had the 2nd most passing TD's in those situations with 13. Oh, and zero picks.

So, the real question is have you watched Matt Ryan at all this year?
