That's a good comparison. The reason why I balk at "Pittsburgh is really soooooo good!" is because I was a Saints fan. I used to say the same things. Tell me if this is familiar
"Gosh our team is so talented. We have as much talent as anyone in the NFL. If we could just cut out the stupid mistakes....."
The problem is that stupid mistakes are part of it, just like rocket arms, 6'4 wide recievers, and 350lb guards. Suggesting "if they just don't turn the ball over" when they are a team which consistently turns the ball over is like saying "If our CBs just grew an additional 4 inches in height...."
Ben Roethlisberger is making terrible decisions this year. He has all year. I've got no reason to suppose it'll change this Sunday. They are a team that makes stupid mistakes. They've earned their record. If they cut them out tomorrow we may be in trouble, but again, you have no reason to suppose anything will be different tomorrow then it was the first 8 games.
