The official Patriots vs Steelers game thread

[tests]

what has been wrong with brady? I dont get it... last year he was FIRED UP, and now he is indifferent? What the **** is going on with this team. They are so up and down... so bi-polar.

As bad as the Pats have played, the Steelers can't put them away. Granted at this point, I don't know if 13 points is anymore easy to overcome than 30 points.

They have to be smart on offense and not stupid like the last drive. Throwing deep down the field on every down isn't going to do it.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Without romoe the patriots play like a bunch of Juliets.

*throws tomato*

 

[PatsFan24]

The only thing the Patriots have not done today is turn it over. That will probably happen on this drive.

 

[SONS_OF_BELICHICK]

this game is over ...coverages are way too soft.....again. The way we won games was by making long drives.....and to keep our defense fresh..but we couldnt get off the damn field.....and it looks like we were not playing like we wanted it.......

we just need to regroup ....and get our heads right,...

 

[Deus Irae]

How come Haynesworth only played garbage time today?

To be fair, the whole game has been garbage time.

 

[BendButDontBreak37]

This is exactly what Belichick deserves, I hope major changes are coming with this team in every area in the offseason. Kraft deserves a team with a decent coach that won't quit.

PLEASE , dont question Brady... today was not his finest moment... but please dont question him...

 

[pork3]

Of course they are, but they have nothing left. Of course they haven't had much all game.

Honestly, for the amount of insults directed at the defense, they've kept them to a number of field goals.

The offense has yet to march down the field and score a touchdown.
The ocho experiment seems to have been a failure.
I have no idea who's a legitimate deep threat on this team. Welker?

Re: This forum

I'm still scratching my head how we got to 5 wins..

OH YEA...The Offense is top notch... (except Pitt has their number today)

 

[DropKickFlutie]

This game actually has a lot of positives. It shows Belichick GLARING weaknesses in his scheme and maybe he kicks butt this week and gets Patricia and O'Brien to learn a lot from their amateur strategies.

Can someone please explain why our defensive scheme has both safeties play deep every play, yet our corners don't play underneath or press?

Re: This forum

Some people on this board really disappoint me. You expect this team to be competitive each and every year. which is fine because as do I. But if you honestly thought with only McCourtey as the only half way decent corner on this team was going to beat the steelers. This team needs some youth on the DL, LB and a safety. There are too many holes for this team to go deep in the playoffs.


Stats don't lie and instead of dog piling on the team why don't you just don't watch. BB is this BB is that. BB is the only one to get us any super bowl trophy's EVER in this franchise history.


That is all.

The old saying....."What have you done for me lately" really applies to professional sports. In 20 years, we'll sing the BB & Brady praises!! The defense has bee a problem for a few years and has been getting younger, just not better. I'm sorry, but that falls solely on one person, BB.

It is not Brady, the play calling has been atrocious. Faulk is taking Ridley's snaps, this game is cut for Ridley but we are not even showing like we want to run.

 

[condon84]

We haven't spread them out like we did last year. Don't know why.

Post game thread should be epic, CAN'T WAIT

Oh I'm sure more brilliant comments will be posted

 

[BaltimorePatsFan]

Someone needs to take responsibility for this atrocity called the Patriots defense and resign.

Obviously it won't be BB but at the very least maybe he should finally bring in a defensive coordinator because it's clear that the game left him behind 4 or 5 years ago.

No facemask?

I look forward to Andy's rationalizations, err, comments. I imagine he'll go with the "anyone who complains doesn't understand the game" meme.

 

[Patsrock]

Too many people here are blaming the defense. The offense has sucked balls and has not had a sustained drive today.

When your TOP looks like this, your offense is the problem. Wouldnt have a TD if it wasnt for the defense.
