The Official Patriots vs Steelers game thread

[MTM558]

It's laughable how many players the Patriots have lost this year on defense. Will they even be able to field a team in 2 weeks?

Wilfork - Torn Achilles
Mayo - Torn Pectoral
Kelly - Busted Knee
Gregory - Looked like broken wrist

Nobody loses 4 starters and makes it out ok. The offense has to EXPLODE off the bye or things could get uglier than they are.

Defensive injuries are on a stupid level

 

[Froob]

This defense has lost too many players. No Talib, no Ninkovich, and no Gregory is probably too much to overcome. And I am not counting the IRed guys.

The offense has to win this one today.

This is why I don't understand why people are more than okay to let guys like Talib sit another week even if they don't need it.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Just too many damn injuries. What's that now? Talib, Wilfork, Mayo, Kelley, Ninkovich, and Gregory. All starters, all injured. I'm not surprised the defense is letting up points right now.

We had a top-five defensive unit before all the damn injuries. I'm beyond upset right now.

 

[TomPatriot]

Let's stop whining and score. No- huddle.

And the score is now 24-24 as the Steelers have cashed in on Pats fumble and 25-yard run on first-and-20 to start last drive en route to TD

 

[PATRlOT]

Turn your ****ing head around. ************ this is pathetic.

From what I see, I guarantee my life I could play better CB than these guys.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

This game is done. Stupid playcalling and defensive injuries.

There's actually a quarter and a half left. Might wanna brush up on the rulebook there genius.

 

[Foxypats]

Offense needs to put a drive together and let the D rest ...and when the d returns they need to get some sort of pass rush.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Fully expect a 3 and out here

The O really hasn't done much this half to inspire confidence. Maybe they'll turn things around before this gets out of control even more.

 

[PP2]

Earlier I said the defense was keeping us in the game and the offense was taking us out of it.

Now the defense is taking us out of the game. Let's hope the offense puts us back into it.

 

[PATRlOT]

Have we ever started a drive past our own 30? Wow.

(aside from a turnover. kick-off only)

 

[mtbykr]

No you can not obstruct a player from making a play on the ball which is what the DB did.

No he didn't, watch the game

 

[gmtaxi27]

Logan Ryan didn't even turn his head.[/QUOTE

For the life of me, I don't understand how nobody with the exception of Talib turns their heads when the ball is thrown their way. It has been like this for years with them.

 

[TomPatriot]

On defense, that's enough base man bull****.

 

[CelticPatriot]

We must have the most injuries of any team in any sport ever, this is ridiculous. Gregory looks like a broken/wrist, if it's as bad as Vereen's his season is done.

 

[Rob0729]

I still don't get why people hate Blount as a returner. He isn't spectacular, but is fairly solid.

 

[PatsBoy12]

That was a big hit there.

 

[heavyde050]

True the pats have tons of injuries on defense, but the backups are still pros and should not be giving up touchdowns like the offense is at practice.

FU Ryan Clark for going low on Gronk

 

[patsinthesnow]

Oh dear..........
