would the ability to score 35 points on 7 turnovers be enough to beat the patriots if the patriots were playing well? the packers?
Nah man. It wouldnt be enough for the steelers or the ravens, or any other team most likely.
Oh.. its not that hard to run up 35 on the steelers. Our corners suck somethin awful. if we ever put William gay on the field, just have whoever he is covering run up field and he will be open.
I swear 50% of the touchdowns last year when they showed the highlights had Gay running behind the receiver about 10 yards behind. (mcfadden isnt that great either. hes good tackler etc but coverage is meh.)
ive been sorely pissed that we havnt done something to get better cover corners these last few years (5 ish)

Again, most of those turnovers were when the game was already in hand. I'd rather them run clock than try to run up score. That's how you control a game and win by four touchdowns.
Twist it however you want, you can't spoil that performance for me. Think less of me as an NFL fan if you like (oh noes I'll lose so much sleep), but it is what it is. It was a great game, a blowout victory over their bitter rivals, but it's just one game. Part 2 is in November at Heinz. I'm thinking it will go down a little differently.
It's just funny to me that you'll criticize my team for not steamrolling yours enough. You want me to nitpick the Steelers' performance? I don't think I need to go there, bud. You don't see me making excuses or nitpicking the Steelers when the Ravens lose to them.
Aside: The Steelers gave up 35 points in 3 games last year, including playoffs.
