I smell overconfidence and it emanates from the top with Tomlin - for example speaking of being the best and even speaking of the Patriots game 3 weeks away.
The difference between worst and best is small enough that not fully concentrating on bringing your A game every week/the task this week can be fatal.
Pitt will still win this game but Tomlin's difference than BB is on display.
Good point. My theory on that is the best teams are maybe only 5% better but being 5% better every play adds up to a huge advantage over time if you play up to it. If you lose your edge just a bit suddenly there isn't a difference.
All it takes is a few players to lose concentration on a few snaps and BAM! 60 yard TD, BAM! fumbled punt BAM! dropped key 3rd down pass.
Suddenly you are no different than the bottom of the NFL.
