The Steelers, did in fact, dominate the Chargers in that game. My nerves come from the fact that the Steelers never seem to have a lead against the better teams either early or at halftime. Patriots, Ravens twice,Titans,Cowboys.etc. etc.. The Steelers need to get a fast start in this game and force the Chargers to play from behind against this #1 defense. Yes, we have won some close games, but do NOT play with fire and let this soaring Charger team hang around too long. Im nervous because the Steelers do NOT score enough points early in games. period! Tomlinson will be limited at best, the Chargers do not defend the pass well, its in Pittsburgh and we are well rested. NO EXCUSES GUYS! I believe a sound victory this weekend gets us to Tampa regardless of the opponent next Sunday. Big, bold words but this team can get on a roll and has a championship caliber defense, an experienced and unified team that never quits. I think a win this Sunday launches them into another level for the AFC title. Matt, those are excellent points that we fans should take into account.
