Lord, this is THE game.

Nicely written.. but i disagree bigtime.

It starts or ends in pittsburgh?? No way. I expect us to lose this game, but I also expect us to respond, keep improving, keep playing payton ball, and make the playoffs.

Pittsburgh is a desperate, extremely talented home team that not only won the superbowl last year but beat the Chiefs 45-7 only a few weeks ago. They really should've beaten the Falcons 2 weeks ago and would've beaten the Broncos if not for 6 turnovers. That would make them 4-4 right there.

The Saints are a team on the rise. We're not a finished product yet. A loss to the steelers under these circumstances won't derail this train.
