Post Game Thread - Pats @ Steelers

Houston is @ Philadelphia than be Jacksonville we should still be the 2nd seed.


Back to the ***** fest now

This offense with a lot of individual talent cannot get it done. We are also a team with too many aging players, and it feels like we have no heart. That is what is truly lacking this year .

Our Run D is a huge huge issue. More than I thought it was. To many mental mistakes again which is killing this team. The holding, false starts.. that’s what cost us

rather have them run at will and score 17 than have Ben throwing it all over the place.

Bad game on offense and defense. Our team is in trouble. Two straight losses and we've been bad on the road...not going to lie, I am worried about this team!!!!

Let's discuss!!!

Are you serious right now ? The defense held the Steelers to 3 points in the last 3 quarters and scored two INTs.

The offense is just completely broken to the point where I am not sure we will even see another RZ TD thrown this regular season. This was the same ****ty performance as the second half against Miami where they scored only 6 points.

And this game could have gone on another 2 quarters and I am not confident this team would score once in the redzone. The Brady INT didnt help but the issues are way more fundamental than that.

The consistent shot plays from second down on in the redzone are pretty much all you need to look at in terms of how helpless the offensive staff, Brady and the other players are.

Just win the wild card game at home. Anything beyond that is gravy, for this year.

I’d like that revenge game a lot.

Defense played well enough and gave the offense chance after chance to take the lead but they couldn’t do squat.

I know many here are saying they aren't that good but come on. How come Pats Nation isn't up and arms against a blatant screw job by the refs. Every time they got new the end zone they called holding which never happens. You can't overcome that 10 yard loss that close. When Pats nation stops backing its team against a crooked NFL this run is done.

Shame on some of you.

People need to make some noise about that crap.

This team is showing its age. Slow, no spark, and sloppy as hell.

It doesn't help when basically your entire rookie class ends up on IR.

Better hope the Texans lose in Philly next week.

Gronk is done son.
He has Jason witten like suddenness.
Gronk needs to take a huge paycut if he comes back next season.
Hogan is a jag Edelman is on his last legs.
Gordon is the only receiver we should be on the roster.

Brady's cooked. It's not physical, it's mental. He's sailing passes, throwing off his back foot with nobody near him. He's got the sort of self-preservation that comes with getting old and a good quarterback can't have that. Does anyone feel confident with Brady with the ball in his hands with the game on the line the way we did last year or the year before?

I still have faith in Brady, just not the protection.

It's been one heck of a ride and I don't like to bet against the Pats but for the better part of this season, it looks like the inevitable has materialised.

Game is on Brady. He was dreadful. Our Rz passing game is atrocious. 2 fourth quarter rz possessions, 0 points. Unacceptable. Gronk didn't seem engaged, poor play design. Oh and the penalties...never winning on the road with those.mistakes

If we focus on THIS season, it's ok to day the following.

Gronk is washed up and done. Hes useless and watched a ball fly over his head while trying to engage a player for a penalty instead of trying for the ball.

This loss isn't on him but it's ok guys to say hes done. Tight ends go fast. Is what it is

Many of which were not legitimate penalties and likely altered the outcome of the game.

The hold called on Cannon when the Pats were down 4 with the ball at the PIT 1, 2nd-and-goal was truly horrendous.

If that is considered a hold, then certainly PIT could have been called for holding more than once during the game, yet they were not.

4-5 weeks of consistently awful officiating, most of which hurt the Pats. Seems like a trend, not a fluke.

Several bad calls. But 14. About 8-9 were pre snap movement. Nobody else to blame there.

That was a horrible call. But I thought the PI on Haden was iffy

This loss was on our Offensive Game plan or lack there of. J.Mac never attacked their D with any aggression in throwing game. Never established a rhythm. Yeah Pitt was getting pressure but their secondary could have been had.

Defense played well today. Awesome actually. They game planned to slow the passing attack and they did just that. Kudos to them. Game balls in a losing effort, could care less about the runs on the ground.

14 penalties killed us today. Yes some were bogus but false starts were a matter of discilpine and they didnt’t have it today. Receivers dropping balls left and right was a huge factor as well.

Win some you lose some. We’ve been on the better end of the Steelers for awhile now. There defense played lights out and they deserved it today. Enough said. We’ll be hosting our first wild card game in awhile. Kind of exciting actually.
