    I’m not saying there aren’t things that need to be corrected (see: gameballs/goats), but sometimes learning how to win close games is a skill set. It’s sort of like the idea behind “The Million Dollar Mind”... a book that discusses how a ton of Fortine 500 CEOs have learning disabilities. “Struggling” to succeed to part of why they turn out to be successful (they’ve learned how to succeed despite any shortcomings / they see momentary failures as part of the learning process).

    SUMMATION:
    We are 8-0... with not only “room to improve”, but the skill set of “finding a way to win” when we aren’t at our best.

    2007 Cheats** barely beat AJ Feeley/Eagles and Kyle Boller/Ratbirds. Two scrubs.

    Not saying we shouldn't be doing better but we lose some of these games in previous years.

    Actually 2005 team had more double digit victories, more victories by 17 or more points and a better point differential in the regular season. 08 team also had more wins by at least 17 and a better point differential

    what about the 2015 Broncos vs 2019 Ravens....Sometimes this is very important to be battle-tested in the regular season and they won 3 games in a row against team with a winning record before the Dallas game....The 2004 steelers had trailed for only 10 minutes 36 seconds at home in the regular season!

    I think Dobbs should be ahead of Rudolph. I know what we got with Rudolph. I want to see what Dobbs can do

    Dobbs seems to be more involved with talking to Ben about what he sees on the defense. The kid definitely has the brains to be a good QB, but I'm always nervous about his accuracy throwing the ball. If anything his athleticism can create plays.

    There is a difference between being battle tested and scraping by every single week mostly against bad and mediocre teams. Teams who do the latter tend to not go anywhere in the postseason

    Being the last undefeated team, the Steelers have a bullseye on their head. It's like being the defending champion, you're going to get 120% effort from anyone you face. No easy games from here on out, I don't care who it is.

    I've seen a team win a super bowl by losing to Rex Grossman twice in a season....Or another team losing against Charlie Batch and a very mediocre steelers team.

    I know this is probably true to a certain extent but I’ll never truly understand it. If a bad team can play SO much better than normal against a great team, why don’t always play like that? They should be just as interested in beating every team

    It's human psychology imo. For instance, fans are a lot more energized for a game against the ravens or high stakes game. I'm sure to some extent, it affects the players' psyche too. Sure, they're professionals but also human

    Re: First 8-0 start in steelers history!

    It would be a concern if the steelers would not have won against a good team this year, but that is not the case since they beat two very solid 6-2 team in the ravens and the titans....The chiefs also had not very impressive games like against a Depleted Pats team and the 2-6 Chargers and 3-6 Panthers ... Games that you are flat can happen for every team, especially after 2-3 big wins.... The Ravens were awful yesterday in the first half against the Colts, they were lucky not to be behind 17-0 after 30 minutes.

    I don't think there are any super teams out there and, man I'm glad the Steelers have pulled out the last three games. Yesterday that was the Cowboys Super Bowl but, the Steelers found a way to win. Big stops from the defense when we had to have it and, Ben playing great when he needs to. Like mentioned above when Ben takes over the play calling it's money for the Steelers. Strange day for Boswell kudos for the 59 yarder.

    ....and Cowterd is all on the Andy Reed bandwagon. I guess he forgets all the years Reed was coaching the Eagles and those talent rich teams.

    The Bucs lost. The Seahawks lost. The Chiefs won by fewer points than the Steelers did.

    And he has it absolutely backwards. The Ravens are really the team that’s built for the regular season and not for the playoffs where they might get behind. Blowing teams out in the regular season doesn’t prepare you for the playoffs. Coming back and winning from any possible situation does.

    It’s weird, every once in awhile Cowherd says some intelligent things, but never about the Steelers. He always gets everything about the Steelers backwards.

    Yeah? So what happened to the 2019 Ravens and their huge point differential?

    The '19 Ravens won a ton of blowouts but still got crushed by a 9-7 Titans team at home in the playoffs.
