The official Patriots vs Steelers game thread

[Kid~Brady]

We are gonna make some good adjustments and get this thing done.

Look at that tackling, poor coaching and execution, I wish Kraft would do the right thing. Introduce Bill to the front door

You have me confused. I don't know if you are an idiot or a troll or both. Unlike you and your ilk I can remember before Belichick was the coach and the number of superbowls the team won. FYI it was the same the Jets won after 1969.

 

[BradyToAmendola]

the defense with the exception of andre carter , did not come to play, and tom brady is looking confused and frustrated .. we are fortunate to be down by 7.... but not looking like a championship team right now....

Receivers aren't getting open, not sure what you want the QB to do..throw a pick like Big Ben did?

 

[FCB02062]

in all honesty - has there ever been a poorer secondary, especially cornerback group, to start a game in the nfl????

 

[coolguy]

I think it's time for a new defensive coordinator....Bill needs help.


SOMEONE DESERVES TO GET FIRED FOR THIS DEFENSE!

 

[Deus Irae]

wow - how will the fanboys defend this garbage??????

I'm not a fanboy, and the Patriots start the half with the ball. As poorly as the team has played, they can tie the game up right at the start of the half.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

But the Pats biggest problems on offense isn't that no one is open. It is poor execution (dropped balls, Brady not seeing wide open receivers, poor blocking, stupid penalties).

Plus they haven't been on the field at all. The last drive was looking good until Vollmer effed up. We have a chance now to come out with a good drive in the 3rd and turn the game around, very important drive coming up.

Long term I'm concerned about the depth of the DBs. Safety has been an issue all year, but Molden was just kind of stuck in quicksand on that Antonio Brown TD.

I mean, how hard is it to throw against statues?

It's really hard to see how they can improve.

I'd rather have Wilhite in here.

I'm sure You'd like this whole fan base to jump ship and root for the steelers. Go smell rex ryans feet.

 

[FCB02062]

i like kevin faullk as much as the next guy, but why the f is he the focal point of the offense...funny to think no one on this board gave pittsburgh a chance....

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

The thing that sucks is the Bills are killing the declining Redskins. A loss today and the Pats are tied with them for the division.

with the jets 1 game behind

 

[BradyFTW!]

Three thoughts:

1) we are incredibly lucky to only be down by 7

2) this is what happens when a team cuts 4 of its top 8 DBs

3) on the first Steelers TD, the closest Patriots to the play were Ihedigbo and Molden. If those are the guys that we're counting on, then I think that pretty well explains the problem.

How long have you been watching football?

What I have found interesting is that Molden has been playing on the Outside receivers and Arrington on the SLOT receiver most of the game so far..

What I don't understand was how Belichick didn't have someone on Miller to start the game. The guy has been an excellent TE in his career. That's gotta be on the coach..

As for firing the DBs coach, the guy is in his 1st year. Not really his fault that the players aren't executing. On the Brown TD, Molden was too deep and Arrington showed he didn't know where Sanders was because he bit on Ben's fake to the right..

 

[BradyToAmendola]

All the confidence I gained in the defense after the Dallas game is now gone. I'm pretty sure that I could run a route and get open on us.

 

[E1Downey]

Actually feel pretty good right now. Only down by 7 after such a "Meh" half. Make some good adjustments at the half and I think we'll be fine.

Thank you for being a rational fan. I understand we all get emotional but Some of these other posts today are really pathetic. Let's not all lose our minds because of a terrible terrible half in which we are only down by seven.

We can't go into halftime being up by multiple scores everyone game, let's all take a deep breath.

 

[NEPatriot]

Protection is a problem. Why not come out with 2 TE's?

 

[Deus Irae]

Now you get it. Tons of yards Tons of completions, yet only one score down AND the ball. \

That's BECAUSE we chose not to give up the big pass play. Just remember that the defense didn't sh!t the bed the first 2 drives. In fact the offense hasn't really done jack the entire first half.

No, Ken, it's because Roethlisberger vapor locked. Without that, this game would be all but over. Now let's hope the Patriots can take advantage of the gift that's been given them.
