2015 Week One Post-Game Thread - Patriots 28, Steelers 21

Tomlin just said "that always happens here" when talking about coaches' radio / headset problems.

There are supposed to be rules against making false accusations against another team. Probably doesn't apply when the Pats are the accused.

Belichick says he had to switch headsets couple times. Both teams having communication problems. BB: “Seems like we deal with that weekly.”

Well, I have to watch the game tomorrow, but I have to say, giving up 14 points to the Steelers (then 7 in garbage time) is a great top-line, however they got there. This is a team that got more than 27ppg last year, and if Brown had 110 yards, that's around last year's average.

I think the 2007 talk can quiet down a bit. This is not a 2007 juggernaut team. There was only one of those in our lifetime.

Gotta love people who hit the disagree button but never type what the disagreement is about.

Probably also Favre. He got a lot of wins with the Jets and Vikings on top of the ones he got with the Packers. #2 can't be Montana, he suffered injuries in his career and competed for starts with Young. It's probably QB who had a long career and was very healthy and played on good teams, which would likely be either Elway or Manning.

Duh. That's what I thought when they showed that stat. Brain cramp afterwards. Thanks for setting me straight.

brady looks tired....happy but tired.

I have been saying this to my friends all through the preseason. Lewis reminds me of KEVIN FAULK. He is going to be a huge part of the offense, IMO.

Let's hope he gets over ball security issues faster than Faulk did.

Ditto Faulk's early-career problem -- thankfully later solved -- of coming up 1 yard short on 3rd-and-long.

That said -- I'm not sure an RB will soon be as important on 3rd down as Faulk was, given what we have at TE now.

Even though Tomlin was heated, Steelers players said the headset problem wasn't much of an issue.

I always felt that of all the players we lost this offseason the biggest loss was Vereen. I am no longer worried. Offense looked awesome considering many of these guys didn't play together during preseason.

Ben had a lot of time to throw yet I believe he was sacked 3 times, one INT, and a hell of a goal line stand to force a FG.

Lewis will be receiving vigorous instruction in the art of GTFD.

By the way, Brady is now has the most wins of any QB with one team in history! How many records does this guy hold?! He is not human.

Hopefully Easley didn't blow his damn knee out again...

It was a hip issue.

Tom Brady since the footballs were switched vs Indy: 70-90, 10 TDs

For what it's worth, you set me out on an interesting quest for information, and here's the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_wins_by_a_National_Football_League_starting_quarterback

Looks like Favre #1 at 186-112 (62.4%), Manning #2 at 179-77 (69.9%), Brady #3 at 161-47 (77.4%). I'm hoping Brady can make up some ground on Manning after he retires.

 

[rochrist]

I'd like to see more Chandler and DA. Cant have JE and Gronk working like that all season. And does Dobson want to be in this league? Where the fak did he disappear to?

You realize that TB can't throw the ball to everyone at the same time right? He targeted Dobson once, and Dobson made the catch. If he can target Edleman 12 times and get 11 completions, there are going to be some guys that don't get as many touches. Amendola caught 2. Chandler caught 1. It's not as though Brady was dying for not having people catch the ball. Maybe you should give it a couple of games.

 

[DaBruinz]

The PI on Chung was complete BS.. You can't call Defensive PI when the OFFENSIVE player is initiating the contact..

 

[DaBruinz]

It was his HIP, not his knee.. You don't grab your side if it's your knee.

And perhaps a small amount of ground on Manning even before he retires.

Although that will be tough, as it is a REGULAR SEASON stat.

I know how football works. Thanks.
