Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Steelers

[PScottman]

Bourne had multiple big plays

So after watching this one, this is the conundrum - Meyers absolutely is not as dynamic as Bourne. Meyers gets open by half a step when Bourne is open by a step+. That said how many clutch plays did Meyers have 4? 5? Really tough to take that off the field, and he's become a plus blocker.

Best case I'd probably like to start seeing Meyers fill the "Amendola" role and Bourne get more of the early down snaps as the season progresses.

I think too many in the media & too many fans want to crown the Super Bowl champion in September. How many people do you think are on the Miami Dolphins bandwagon after two games? There’s a massive graveyard filled with teams that started hot & faded down the stretch, there’s usually at least one every year.
Patriots won today, as Julian Edelman once said, “I’d rather win ugly than lose pretty.” The Patriots did some things well, and have a lot of things to improve upon going forward. Every team does. Just keep improving. Still tons of season left

Congrats on the baby!!! Boy or girl?
Nice you’ve got the baby listening in already. Never too soon to pass the tourch.

Mack Wilson's deflection into Mills INT is just the kind of team plays that we need to come up with wins.

Wilson and Peppers were massive tone setters for this game. The quickness backing into a deep zone is an improvement over last year early and the Peppers just came in late with with an attitude and a hitting mentality. Doesn't mean I don't want Duggar back, but it just shows the depth of the safety spot.

I'm hopeful the coaches show those two Peppers open field hard tackles over and over in the film room this week.

I’m rooting for a really physical overtime that ends in a tie…..screws both teams

I hope they both lose

(I know)

Parker played like Tarzan in training camp, but plays like Jane in the regular season.

We need an APB out on Parker ASAP cos he's gone missing!

Somebody please retire number 1 . Harry was wearing it and now Parker ..

1 symbolizes the first person to vanish off the field ... Parker was magical and elusive today... Nobody could find him . Not Even the QB ...

Glad there was a happy ending for Bob Krafts 500.

I live in a Pittsburgh suburb too, married to a Steelers fan. My older son is a Steelers fan too, even though I’ve tried to make him a Pats fan, he just has too many Steelers fans around him. He was mad at me after the game haha

I grew up in a Pittsburgh suburb (Edgewood), but moved to Boston when I was a teen and stayed for college and beyond. I switched allegiances after a few years; so glad that my father turned down his job offer in Cleveland and accepted the job in Boston.

My boys are very young right now (8,6,3) so it can change later on but so far so good they were pulling for the pats with me! Though there were some looks of horror from my yelling.

Strange was fine considering who he was up against.

Cameron Heyward?

Nelson Aghalor might have performed literal magic to catch that TD pass because that was not a good throw by Mac.

Disagree, he put up a jump ball over the CBs head where Agholor could get it. I thought for a 50/50 ball with the receiver pressed up against the sideline, it was a pretty good throw

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I actually thought the Pats were much better than Pitt today, fully deserved the win and could have won by much more.

Agree, but still do not look smooth. Hopefully building every week including the last 4 games of 2022.

No it's not a well oiled machine yet, but they built on last week. Hopefully that trend continues, it usually does on BB coached teams

That was a stone cold groove, my man.
