You definitely make a valid argument for the Super Bowl and taking risks, we are going to have to be aggressive to make and win it. Pat That was classic, I think he was serious on that one!

The way that I look at it is this: The Steelers are going to end up in the playoffs. The playoffs mark a whole new begining, so if the Steelers dump one to the Cowboys, it's really not that big of a deal. What I am convinced of is that a Super Bowl appearance, or victory, is going to take some risks, lucky bounces, last minute heroics, and some overall "pulling it out of the ass" from the Steeler's O. I equate this years offense with a knuckleballer or spitballer in baseball. When they win, it's sluggish and tricky. The knuckleball is all we have this year - and we're going to have to use for all that it's worth. This being said, Tomlin's going to need to be more comfortable with pulling the trigger on a risky call or two. That 4th and goal was good practice. I dont think the Steel-maixim of smash-mouth, 3 yards at time, is going to work this time - because we don't have it this time around. I give two thumbs up to Tomlin for going for it.
