I just don't think any game is a gimme anymore. Dallas is a good team. Romo is a good QB and they have some great weapons on offense. It is going to be a tough challenge and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost. I love our defense, but our offense tends to struggle quite a bit especially at the beginning of games. Also, it seems way too often we have to settle for field goals in the red zone.

Serious question, why does it always seem like our WRs are not wide open EVER. I watch other games and other teams WRs are wide open quite a bit. Why does it always seem when Ben completes a pass the defender is right on our WRs bad word? They are never easy completions. Is it the WRs, the playcalling or a combination of the two?

There have been numerous occassions in which Nate or Santonio had several steps on the CB on a deep route which would have been an easy TD if Ben hits them in stride. However, whether it be due to a sore shoulder or whatever, Ben has tended to underthrow his WR's on deep balls this season, making them have to come back for the ball and fight it out with a CB who was clearly beaten seconds before.

He had another one of these Sunday to Nate W. It is a bummer, because we have all seen him make those on target many times before. We have to acknowledge that something is wrong with Ben this year.

I think what he means if Romo is not at the top of his game the Cowboys will lose.

He needs a big big game.

I just don't understand how anyone can never be confident going into a game...as a fan.

Not just this one, but ANY game.

Yeah I know any given Sunday and all that, but there are games, and even games that the Steelers ultimately lost, where NO fan should have been lacking in confidence for a W.

A fan roots for a team to win every game. It does not necessarily mean we have to be dilusional to think we are actually going to win every game. If it makes you feel any better I was a bit more confident when we played the Bengals without Carson Palmer a few weeks ago. But not totally confident cause anything can happen. And we know this team is prone to making mistakes.

I'm alway cautiously optimistic going into games. I'm not over confident, nor am I under confident. If the Steelers lose, I'm more bummed about with going to work the day after a loss than the loss itself. That may sound weird, but I'm useless at work the day after a loss and the work day drags!!!
