Official Game Day Thread- Week 15 Pat @ Steelers

[DOGWARZ]

This team has seemed unfocused since they got back from Mexico. I wonder what is going on. Injuries hurt, but the team just hasn't been themselves since playing the Raiders.

Teams got better.

ok coach

Sheesh, let some positivity happen.

 

[Kontradiction]

Sit Gilmore I’m embarrassed for him

No. Just realize that he can’t contain Bryant one on one and give him help.

 

[PatriotReign]

There's a reason despite his issues that the Patriots were potentially willing to trade for Bryant when he asked out of Pittsburgh.

[WhoaDirty]

Offense has been great, barely had the ball.

This is how the Steelers win. Pats need to get them off the field quicker in the second half. And I don't think FGs are going to cut it, they might have to score every drive for the rest of the game.

 

[upstater1]

That was a pretty perfect drive by the Steelers from start to finish.

Unless you want Gilmore to commit PI not sure how you can even defend that given how Bryant pushed him back.

He gave up chucking him after the first chuck

He was still within 5 yards of the LOS, just gave up and let him break.

 

[luuked]

bill wasted timeouts.

You mean the first one that Brady called on the field ? Or the second one where they actually called it to have some time in case we hold after getting the Steelers to 2nd & 6 ?

What a bunch of garbage.

 

[Charlotte Pats Fan]

Your in four down territory to start the 3rd. You absolutely cannot settle for a fg.

Jesus your a ****ing idiot. Thought yoy werent posting in GDT

 

[DaBruinz]

This ref crew is clearly biased towards Pitt.

- #66 of the Steelers was 5 yards downfield before Ben threw the ball on the 1st TD to Rogers.

- AluAlu hit Brady late. He took more then 1 step.
- Bell was given an extremely generous spot after being more than half a yard shy of the 1st down marker.
- How was Bryant not called for OPI? He clearly kept his arm out preventing Gilmore from getting by him.. If Gronk had done that, the a flag would have been thrown immediately.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

So our depleted 2017 squad is down by one TD after a half and "we're not a good football team".
Folks here have not watched much football.

 

[TomPatriot]

Steelers playing great football. Pats can adjust with AB out, though.

Pretty sick of Ben and his faux injuries,

 

[SVN]

Steelers are playing well and making some great plays. Sometimes there is a simple explanation.

 

[Fore2213]

Can someone explain why when any other QB dumps the ball off inside 10 yards, there are not Pats defenders within 5 yards......but the Pats receivers are wearing coverage like tight fitting suits??

 

[Kdo5]

We MUST cut these Pitt drives short. We won't be winning if we let up another 8 minute drive.

 

[Jlaff]

7-9 on third?

Cant win like that

Steelers should just forfeit the first two downs every series with that kind of success.

 

[FCB02062]

So upsetting to see this team deliver two crap performances in a row... Injuries just too much and have really detailed this season

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

This team's 30 minutes from falling to the 3rd seed unless they dramatically come out on fire. This offense has been kind of dissapointing lately even going back to the game where they scored 23 points.

 

[catent]

Great 1st half by BR.

Yep, I'm not that down on the defense. BR made some perfect throws against otherwise good coverage. Both defenses have managed to get one stop, otherwise the offenses have scored every time they had the ball. The difference is that Pitt had an extra possession, and the Pats left 4 points on the board on their third possession.

Onto the second half. I'm frustrated but still plenty optimistic.
