Where the hell was the fire in the Patriots belly? Where is the Defensive line? Where are the linebackers? Where is our undersized secondary?

Where was the tackling? Where was the toughness? Where was the run blocking? THAT WAS A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH ASS WHIPPING THAT A MEDIOCRE PITTSBURGH TEAM GAVE US TODAY...........

TERRIBLE, JUST TERRIBLE!

This team will go 11 and 5 and not get into the playoffs just like 2008. There are way too many 0 and 1 win teams out there in the race to the bottom and the rights to draft Andrew Luck.

Are you trying to compliment the D with your title?

I can't tell.

OK, let's start another one as the other thread got screwed up by my merging some of the threads together. I apologize for that.

However I will say that people were posting threads rapid fire with "thoughts' that really don't deserve there own thread. They were just venting and ranting threads. If the board is a mess now, you should have seen it before. All people have to do is post on the threads provided.

If they have to vent or rant, do it on the game or post game threads. And why bump old threads from the back pages just to maybe make yourself look smart or someone else look not so smart?

So here is the new Post game thread. Go ahead and vent and rant and make all the observation on the today's game that you want. Just keep it clean and on topic.

Certainly if you have some information or insight that is brand spanking new, start a new discussion thread.

Thanks.

The Pats were surprised and out-executed. They don't need coaching changes, and they don't need personnel changes. They just need to be more prepared for things that they're not as prepared for.

When was the last time the Steelers used primarily man coverage in a game? I'd be willing to bet this was the first time in years. Yes, literally years. Same with Ben's quick passing style. The Steelers' schemes this game were about the exact opposite of what we've seen out of them on offense since Ben has been there and on defense since LeBeau has been there. The Pats were unprepared at first, but were down two scores before they could adjust at all.

I don't see how people disagree with Belichick's decision to onside kick it. Up to that point the Patriots hadn't forced a punt ALL GAME. I repeat: the Patriots hadn't forced a punt all game. What makes you think it would magically change in the final 2 minutes?

Also, even after the onside kick, we still had a chance to stop them. We gave up a 1st down. So BB was proven right.

What happened to The official Coltriots post game thread?

Everything is good. See you homo sapiens in Indy!

I'm still trying to figure out how we only lost that game by 8. We truly got our asses handed to us.

It's a long season though, the Steelers themselves caught a major beatdown week 1 from the Ravens and people declared them old/slow/done, now they are the #1 team in the AFC. We can turn it around, it all starts with the Giants next week.

We just need to survive the next 4 games with a 2-2 record or better and the last 5 games are all very winnable while our defense gels. Only tough team in that stretch is the Bills and it's at Gillette. I'd love to see this team kind of fly under the radar winning 2 of the next 4, then win the last 5 to finish 12-4. In this conference, that should be good enough for the 2 seed at least.

So at what point should the coaches have adjust to what they were seeing on the field?

I think the team could use some help in the secondary.
