Quarterback Quandary...

For my money league...
 
QB Tommy Maddox @ KC
or
QB Trent Green vs. PIT
 
(I also put in a claim for Bulger on waivers, but won't know if I have him until Wednesday.)
 
I'm leaning ever so slightly towards Green right now.  Both of the defensive secondaries did an adequate job of limiting the opponents (Brees and Boller -  ) in week one.  I think this one is almost a push, so I'm leaning towards the home team.  Any thoughts?
 
(I probably wouldn't start Bulger even if I acquire him - we have a Rams fan in our league and I am hoping to use Bulger as trade bait - despite the fact he is facing a weak SF secondary.)

Kansas City is a very loud stadium to play in, which would cause me to also start Green this week. I'd take the home field advantage too...

Pittsburgh's D has not taken a step back with the loss of Porter. Their D is solid, and Kendrell Bell is a monster.
 
I'd start Maddox, KC didn't show me anything on the defensive side of things last Sunday to worry me about starting a QB against them.  
 
My prediction: Maddox 230+ passing yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT

I agree with KJ76 and would start Maddox.  Pitts' D seems to have not lost a beat.  Either will do fine, but I am leaning toward Maddox.

I think Maddox is a better choice.  The KC defense is not very good.

Porter may be back this week.  Looks like he could.

Peace to all this...  You play Trent Green at home against that porous Steelers' pass defense.  Don't let last week fool you!  The Steelers were up against a true rookie at QB and a fairly weak set of receivers.  They can defend against the run well, but make no mistakes about their pass D.  It's not that good.  Also, KC's defense, though not a juggernaut by any stretch of the imagination, will be much improved this season.

I would go Maddox here too. That offense seems dead set on throwing often. Trent will get his yds, but i think Holmes will get more chances in the red zone to run it in.

As I recall, Pittsburgh had one of the worst D's against the pass last season and one game against a pathetic Baltimore squad is hardly enough to call it a turn around. (Not that KC was any better.) I watched the KC/SD game last week and the KC offense was incredible in the first half. I like Maddox, but if I had $$$ on the line, I'd put it on Green, playing at home. (If this game were in Pittsburgh, I would go with Maddox.) Good Luck.
