No. It wasn't. Not with what Pitt has being doing to Edelman that they haven't called.

By the book it was.

Only because we get the ball after half will I let that conservative s*** slide.

Pats new 2 minute drill: if you’re behind the 50yd line, run out the clock

Joey007 said:

Why has Edelman turned into Wes Welker?

Every time we need a big catch from him he drops it. And it completely shifts momentum.

Edelman's hands have always been suspect. This isn't a new phenomenon. Doesn't mean he's not a great player, but he's always had a number if inexplicable drops every year. Pretty sure he led the league in drops a couple years.

PatriotReign said:

This is the saddest team we've fielded since 2000. What really hurts is that Brady's running out of time and they didn't do any better.

This is probably Tom last year....hate to see him go out like this.....coaching is horrible and D is one of worst in many years....maybe they can do something but hard to be positive

DaBruinz said:

Then please, by all means, Stop watching and insisting on regaling everyone with your moaning and groaning..

You're welcome to ignore my posts, and better yet, not honor them with a reply.

Quite frankly, you responding to a post you disagree with, just to say that you disagree with the post (and suggest the poster stop posting, which is absurd) is a much worse form of regaling and moaning and groaning.

PatriotReign said:

We weren't sure if Brady was the guy and he was still young. Dude's 41 now. We're at the tail end of his career no matter how much it hurts to admit.

And he’s won 5 rings 8 afc titles and countless division titles. We’ve seen success that any other fan base would only dream of. This squad has major weaknesses (especially on defense) but the talent is there to make a deep playoff run. Let’s try to enjoy the ride.

Redman443 said:

Said this before but if we go 3 and out to start the 2nd, it will get ugly. Even if we score I don’t feel good because this defense couldn’t stop the lucky charms leprechaun right now.

The defense continues to get screwed. Every play someone on the Pitt O-line is holding WORSE than Trent Brown and yet it's not being called.

This year one unit has not been able to overcome the other units deficiency....that is very strange for a Patriots team !

fnordcircle said:

Because he was falling down as a result of contact from a defensive player. He was down by contact as a result.

If someone tries to tackle you and you stumble out if it but fall down a few steps later they always call that down by contact.

****.

I mean, it looked like he kinda recovered his balance...

Our Defense played better as the half went in. Honestly I thought we would be down 21-7 now

reamer said:

Shin and forearm have always counted as down. It was going to be overturned every time. The amount of people complaining about a bad call or a fix is really embarrassing.

Click to expand...

You saw a shin down? I didn't see that on the super slow mo replay.

The main reason that overturn sux is because Belichick challenged a really bad spot 2 weeks ago and we were told they just don't overturn bad spots unless they are egregious.

This one was not inconclusive at all. I didn't see the shin hit down at all.

Brah...

Why are we losing to this suck team right now?

McDaniels is still auditioning for a gig outside of NE (and I hope he gets one, 'cause he absolutely sucks in NE), and Michel, White, or Burkhead are not reliable RBs, unless White is catching dump offs or Burkhead is showing off on Special Teams. Same trash every week, same complaint from me.

I trust Brady will bury those bumblebee looking trashes come second-half.

TN patriot fan said:

Dear Pats D and Josh McDaniels: you are worthless.

Click to expand...

Is it on McDaniels that the OL can't block for their running backs without holding or that Edelman has hands of stone right now or that Gronk can't get open?

Josh didn’t drop those passes

Uh huh

Thank god for Ben Brainfart

Pittsburgh should be way more aggressive. They should pretty much be playing four down offense.

I did not think he was down by any contact and could have rolled as far as he wanted

DaBruinz said:

No. He wasn't ahead of the marker and yes, his shin was down. Sorry man, but the replay showed it clear as day..

Click to expand...

Shin was not down on that replay. I saw an ankle, shin was off the ground the whole time.
