The Patriots won't rush for 120 yards against the Steelers. Unless key personnel are hurt (i.e., Aaron Smith end of last season), Pittsburgh doesn't give up 100 yards on the ground very often. The Patriots could very well throw for over 200 yards, however -- maybe even 300. It'll depend on...

Not only that, but graphically splicing Ben's head onto a soldier from "Private Ryan" being blasted in a Higgins boat on Omaha Beach. Football does some weird sh*t to people's minds ...

From the responses posted by your comrades, it sounds as though your light-hearted intent was missed. I don't know where you can find a Big Ben helmet, but when you find out, let me know so I can buy one and send it to Ben ...

Seriously, though, that sh*t's not funny. This is funny:

From Providence Journal's PatsBlog Steeler-fan site starts "Bernard Pollard Fan Club" - Projo Pats Blog Giselle said: Lighten up, Patriots fans. I remember listening to WEEI the day Ben Roethlisberger nearly got killed in his motorcycle accident, and Patriots fans were calling in and...

You said Hoke, Eason and Kirschke are gamers. They're not. I never said Eason was terrible. If you think I said Eason is terrible you haven't been reading my posts this year. Everything is up for interpretation. Two guys have been in the league 6 years, one has started since his rookie...

No sh*t. Choose your words carefully: you never know which one's you're going to eat. The 1980s taught Steelers fans a little humility, some perspective. I guess some of the New England fans on this board spent the 80s watching the Celtics.

Brady's more mature than Roethlisberger. What's your point.

It is a loss, just not a catastrophic one like losing Aaron Smith was last year.

Hoke's a decent player, probably the best of the three DL backups the Steelers have. I don't know. Maybe I was ruined by watching Mean Joe Green play. My standards are too high.

I'm confused by your post. These backups are gamers, but they can't hold Aaron Smith's jock (which is true). In my book, a vet is someone who has started for a number of years in the NFL. None of the above-mentioned players fits the bill.

Nope, no veteran backups, no gamers. Just Eason, Kirschke, and Chris Hoke. Keisel's not mind-blowing to begin with, but plugging Nick Eason into your DL is kind of like caulking a sunroof with Elmer's glue: after about five minutes sh*t's gonna starting pouring through.

Re: Welcome back Anthony smith You can't instruct the terminally ******ed, my friend. Anthony's job is to run into people on kickoffs until his body breaks down.

First off, if Matt Light is suspended for duking it out against Miami, the Patriots' job gets a whole lot harder. Having said that, I'd put Cassell in a spread-set shotgun all day, similar to what they used against the Dolphins this week, and design plays for him to move up into an umbrella...

I don't know about the after-effects of Ben's accident riding the rice rocket. There's been considerable speculation throughout Steeler Nation, but nothing definitive has come out. What we do know is Ben's throwing shoulder is still hurt, and Tomlin hasn't benched him for a game or two while...
