""I guess I just find it ironic that the “we own Pittsburgh” (except for 2004, 2008, and 2011) argument somehow holds water here, but people chose to totally ignore the historic struggles of going to Mile High, saying that each year is different. You can’t really have it both ways.""
Come on Sup, I know you aren't new to reading NFL fan posts and the long standing tradition of wanting it both ways
((assuming this stat page was correct))(not counting the Cassell game)
8-2 under Brady, 4-0 at home, 4-2 at Pitt.
Since Tomlin(07) as the head coach it's 6-1
Brady's stats (final score)(def ranking PA) against Tomlin's Steelers:
12/9/2007: 32 of 46 for 399 yards, 4 TDs 0 INTs, 125.2 passer rating (23-13)(2)
11/14/2010: 30 of 43 for 350 yards, 3 TDs 0 INTs, 117.4 passer rating (
39-26)(1)
10/30/2011: 24 of 35 for 198 yards, 2 TDs 0 INTs, 101.8 passer rating

01/22/2017: 32 of 42 for 384 yards, 3 TDs 0 INTs, 127.5 passer rating (36-17)(10)
I can't speak for others and winning or losing the next game isn't determined by last year's stats. But it is a fair reading that BB and TB have notable success when playing a Pitt team that otherwise beats most of their opponents, no?
The stat that looks to be a good thing for the Steelers: last time they had the #1 D and faced the Patriots is the last time they beat the Patriots (they had one seriously stingy D in 2011, 14 points per game, 271 yards per game, lead almost every category).
