Default I Blame the media for this loss.

All week they acted as if past victories ment anything in this current match up. Every sound bite was filtered in a preempted Patriots victory. This wasn't even the local media but National coverage as well. These are supposed to be experts. Players get fueled off of it. It's an 07 Giant redux.

what the media says has never mattered

it`s what the players choose to believe that matters

Well, the Steelers definitely got the memo. They decided that what they've been doing for the last few matchups wasn't going to cut it, and they pulled out all the new tricks they had.

Rodney Harrison telling everyone that could here him not to play zone against Brady didn't help.

The problem is that playing man is nearly impossible when you have LBs covering the Pats' TEs. You have to use DBs to cover the TEs, meaning you either need to get the Pats behind early and make them abandon the run or get them into 3rd and long, where they basically can't run. The Steelers managed to do both.

I blame the team. Maybe I'm strange.

You blame the media for hyping a game against the coach you say needs to be fired ...

I thought this was going to be one of those sarcastic "joke" threads, but I see that it's supposed to be serious. This is the kind of thread that gets linked on other boards..."See what Patriot Fans are saying about the loss...ha, ha, ha."

You guys acted ****y too, I said we would lose and some guy slams the point down my throat that Brady owns Pittsburgh, great logic.

I just didn't expect such a low score, few opportunities offensively and we wasted them.
