Diontae Johnson even was like, "**** it, I've got confidence! We're going to win!" this week.
At what point does all this looseness and borrowed time and relaxed team environment actually accumulate into overconfidence and not taking your opponent seriously? As in... if the Steelers feel so cool and calm about playing with house money, are they actually in a position where they're not preparing and doing everything they possibly could to prepare for and win this game? Aren't they, in a way, overlooking their opponent?

That's where I am, the Steelers don't have the talent to play loose.
Playing loose and carefree with Big Ben under center is how you get what you got for them against the Browns last year, a bunch of dumb miscues putting them in a deep hole quick.
Maybe Ben is playing 8-D chess and talks about playing loose with the intent to come in with Brady-esque focus, but that seems pollyannish.
