Pittsburgh ? Mike Tomlin's Steelers were flat-out flawless in the first three weeks. I can't criticize them for losing to a tough Arizona team on the road sans Hines Ward, especially after the way Pittsburgh simply pounded Cleveland, Buffalo and San Fran to start the season.

In my opinion, a win this Sunday over Seattle cements us as a team to be reckoned with. A loss, and suddenly we look merely average and middle-of-the-pack, with two very long weeks to stew in our juices.
While I don't in any way think this is a "must-win" game, or that our season is tanking if we lose, if the Steelers are to be viewed as a legitimate top tier contender, they gotta prove they can win definitively over Seattle -- no questionable calls, no whining, just flat-out beat them.
