Week 2 Pats @ Steelers pregame thread

[captain stone]

Steelers are still a huge national TV draw. This game is on for much of the country. I also think folks would like to see the Pats lose after 20 years of winning. So there you go.

It's a good thing that I can watch this game from home... I'll be spared the public humiliation at the bar...

I smell a slaughter. Listened to some Pittsburgh radio today. They were talking about how lousy their O line is after spending 78 million on it..and followed that up with how Flores is planning to rip the Pats O to shreds. I get the impression the Steelers will take a 9-0 or 12-3 win

Curran: Week 2 vs. Steelers is close to a must-win game for Pats

Is Sunday’s matchup in Pittsburgh a must win for the 0-1 Patriots? As our Tom E. Curran writes in his Week 2 Preview, 0-4 quickly comes into play if Mac Jones and Co. return home without a W.

This is a must win game. Can't go 0-2 overall and 0-2 in the AFC this early.

Pre season games dont matter.

stuck in south Florida with Dolphins-Ravens.

Let's hope the pirate streams are good.

They buffer and freeze up.

Someone out of the NE area on Fakebook mentioned that they watch the Pats on Paramount and use a Mass zip code. I have not tried that, but its cheep at 10 bucks per month.

Getting everyone ready for a Saturday, should be interesting to see if there are any practice squad elevations:

Worked for me last year (with help from a location-setting Chrome browser add-on) and it's holding up this year as well. Also thanks to @mike_usagisan I discovered that the $5 tier is enough to get game access

Paramount?

Paramount?

Yep! The plugin is Change Geolocation (Location Guard). Once that's up and enabled with the Boston latitude/longitude set I just sign into Paramount and click the NFL on CBS option when gametime gets close.

Why would he hope, secretly or otherwise, that they lose?

He can keep building on his agenda driven narrative about how BB let brady go and killed the team. Almost all his articles are that.

This goes for any team, but losing creates more storylines for the media than winning. In the Pats case, they can point the blame to the coaching and personnel choices Bill has made.

Because there are a lot of miserable bastards out there.

Brady was willing to re-sign here under certain conditions; Bill was unwilling to meet those conditions, so yeah he kinda did let him go.

As for the team being killed by it, let's just say that it's on its way to the hospital... Whether it's to the delivery ward or the emergency room remains to be seen...

When a team begins to lose with more regularity (1-5 their last 6), isn't that where blame should indeed be pointed?

And if people have difficulty creating storylines from winning, then they're not very good at what someone's paying them to do.
