It is hard for the offense to get into a rythmn when they see the field once every 30 or 45 minutes.

You make a good point. Probably all that Montana genius of yours.

The Defense was world class awful today. You're right about the offense though. It was certainly a winnable game if they made the most of their opportunities.

O' Brien's in-game adjustments have been very poor. When the offense struggles, he does very little to adjust the game plan.

He was terrible in the playoff game last year. He was awful against the Cowboys, Brady's two minute drive saved him. And he was awful today.

Brady also played terribly. And I don't know why Welker had such trouble getting open (it did look like he was getting held a lot).

Steelers killed the Patriots defense on 3rd and long with ease.

The Patriots sucked today in all three phases, and that includes the defense. That's why we're pissed.

didnt Andre Carter...actually sack Roethlisberger a couple times?....I think our pass rush was decent...its Roethlisberger though, the guy thrives on making plays running around

problem was, we were playing such a soft zone, all he had to do was chuck it out to the open man(who usually didnt have a defender within 15 feet of him

In todays and Buffalo's game they are equally to blame.

As bad as the defense was we had a chance to win. Offense didn't do crap, but they didn't get enough chances. The TOP is on the D too, they have to get the ball back to Brady quicker so he can find his rhythm. It's hard to find that when you're off the field for 7,8 minutes at a time

I've never undrstood why the posters on this board want to blame one unit or the other. I guess if nothing else it would make Ray Lewis proud.

The Pats did not cover themselves in glory on any of the 3 phases. The defense was horrible. The offense didn't produce a TD drive until the game was in desperation mode. As for the special teams - the kicker couldn't make field goals or execute an onside kick and the only reason the game wasn't over sooner is Pitt couldn't cash in a FG after Mesko's shank.

The one good thing about this loss is that the mediots on Talk Radio, will have something to whine about besides Gronk's Jersey on the porn star, and the never ending Red Sox saga..
