Patriots Pregame Thread Week 14: Pats @ Steelers TNF

[TomPatriot]

IMO, "taking" is not having the players on the team try to lose.'

Rather it is about keeping good player inactive or off the field. We are sitting Rham. We could sit Douglass more. We might sit Brown more, or perhaps Onwenu, Sokol might be given reps with Henry or Gesicki inactive.

I think that “tanker” completely disrespects his players on the field and has little or no understanding of what they go through to play an NFL game.

I could see Harris getting a handful but nothing from Hasty. He’ll ride Zeke as much as he can. Tough sledding…

We might see Malik at WR.

 

[Mack Herron]

We might see Malik at WR.

We might see him at a too at least for a couple of plays. We just don’t know the situations that they designed his packages for. I still think any big plays will most likely come on the other side of the ball.

As an aside, why the hell did we sign Gesicki? Just listened to a podcast previewing the game and they said don't expect much of Gesicki. Outside of the Bills game he's been largely ignored. Don't understand why players are so quickly binned by BB and Co when they signed them in the first place.

A team cannot get to the playoffs with the worst Offense in the NFL.

The 2006 Bears may be in the hunt for that honor. That offense was gross man.

Yours is not to question why, yours is but to do or die. That's Bill's team motto.

Bill may have it in his mind that the keys are the matchups and he may use different players for each opponent or different situation. It's working like a charm this year.

So Mike was signed for "that" TD against the Bills? Checkers and Chess etc.

Did you see the celebration dance? I'm surprised he hasn't been outright released.

GAME DAY! LFG!

"Patriots vs Steelers spread and Over/Under analysis​

The biggest betting story of this game is with the total that has fallen from 35 to 30 as of Tuesday and could possibly close in the 20s. This is the lowest total in an NFL regular season game in a generation."

Don't know if they were that bad, but I do know that we would've beaten them in the SB even easier than the Clots did.

Can't decide if I want to watch this or The Game Awards.

It's what you get when your offense is lead by Rex Grossman

 

[VrabelJr]

Taking the under is a sucker's bet. We're gonna put up 35

 

[Triumph]

best defense
worst offense
record 2-9

--> what's more important in today's NFL?

The Chiefs and 49ers are winning with defense.

The Dolphins have the offense, but not the defense.

Go Baldur's Gate 3!

This or read books with my wife about how bad a husband I am.

Go Baldur's Gate 3!

Is it worth playing? I'm intrigued but it's not my typical genre.

 

[Thunderhead]

Another must lose. Whatever it takes.

Just lose baby.

Fall back for a Quaterback.
Fall behind for a new O line
Coach like you have amnesia for a new wide receiver.
