Silly Desert

I traveled to the desert and saw my beloved Steelers lose to the Crimson Herbivores. I had a feeling all week that they were going to lose on their trip to Arizona. It was a tough feeling to explain since I had no real evidence to back it up. The Steelers are a better team than the Cardinals, in almost all aspects in which you can compare a team. All aspects save desire to win the game. The Cards just wanted to win it more than the Steelers. That is almost all that matters in the NFL, who wants it more. Talent means a lot when you're the Patriots or Colts but for the other 30 teams in the NFL emotion plays a big part and the Steelers just didn't have that. Hopefully we can win the Super Bowl XL rematch.

That's a load of bull, you realize :)

"They wanted to win more" is just an excuse players and fans use when they lose, especially in a game they "should have" won. It's easier to rationalize that than to think you were outthought or outplayed.

Did the Steelers "want to beat" the Seahawks more this weekend or were they just better? I'm guessing you'll say the latter.
