Dolphins @ Steelers Playoff Game

[mgcolby]

I'm sure Ben will tell us after the game he tore his rotator cuff. But he'll play through it because he's tougher than any human in the history of man kind.

Dolphins just got a pick and no urgency. Try to do something.

They gave when they still have a shot to win mathematically.

 

[Th3Birdman]

Ben is hurt! Could be a big deal...

 

[AtomicDawg]

That almost looked AC joint-ish. They should take him out.

Pitt and KC should be a fun game. I would lean toward KC though. They are at home, have a better defense and better special teams.

 

[BobDigital]

Miami has already given up. I don't see why. Score a TD go for an onside kick.

Try till the very end.

 

[BobDigital]

Stop.

It's homer nonsense.

To say McCourty and Butler are 2 things the Steelers D does not have is not homer nonsense it is a fact. Where is their top 3 safety and top 10 CB?

The Steelers have let Moore complete 80% of his passes. The Pats don't do that. That is a huge difference. Besides that the front 7's are pretty comparable but those 2 guys make a huge difference.

Matt Moore vs Steelers 29/36 81% 290 yards 8.0YPA 1 TD 1 Int
Matt Moore vs Pats 24/34 71% 205 yards 6.0 YPA 2 TD Int

Your post, as a whole, was homer nonsense. When the Patriots play the way Pitt has today, people here insist that it was great defense, because "Scoreboard!".

You know it.
I know it.
Everyone reading this thread knows it.

Miami's OL having it rough this drive

Well at least we get Houston while the steelers and Kansas city beat eachother up

 

[BingoBrown]

Worst wildcard round ever!

I don't care what other people do. This is about what I do. You said that comment about my comment and about me.

I have given this D credit when giving up a decent amount of points and been critical when giving up very few. Today Pitt did not pass the eye test.

I didn't talk up the 13 Points the Pats gave up early vs the Brown or the 17 vs the Bengals cause those games were not that good. I was not impressed by the D. They were okay like Pitt was today but not impressive.

The Steelers gave up 12 points today but the defensive play I saw did not reflect that kind of elite performance.

Took a nap during the second half to get ready for giants packers game. Looks like I made the right decision.

 

[FourierSeries]

I like KC's DL versus Pitt's OL but can KC's offense score more than 16 points?

On that defense? Yes.

FYI he was in a walking boot.

FYI he was in a walking boot.

Also had a minor issue with the shoulder, which occurred on his last pass attempt. Claims he's okay. I claim that he's a drama queen.

Not gonna fall for Drama Queen Ben

But Ben is such a warrior. Just listen to the announcers. That's all they will talk about.

In any case the only way you're going to get rid of CTE and former players from killing themselves is to make it 2 hand touch or flag football.

Let's not be naive here.

I think the issue with QB's is they have less opportunity to protect themselves when they plant and throw the ball. A runner can dive to the ground, a QB basically has to lay his body out to throw and be in a completely vulnerable position for the throw. So I can understand the additional protections.
