Official Game Day Thread- Week 15 Pat @ Steelers

[Gatekeeper]

I don't mind receivers getting a little physical, but if Gronk isn't allowed, then Bryant shouldn't be allowed to stiff arm Gilmore and make a one handed td.

He shouldn't be allowed to have his arm held while trying to catch a pass?

 

[catent]

And should they lose today, which I think they won't, the only real concern is losing the first round bye. We need Jacksonville to lose should that happen. Going into Pittsburgh in January doesn't scare me, so long as they get a bye. That's what matters.

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.

I take the 4th seed if we can get a week vacation from your pimpin posts..

For those tweeting at me about a lack of effort from Gilmore, it appears Bryant was holding his arm to haul in the one-handed grab.

Wow I thought Gilmore was holding. Corrente blows.

 

[WhoaDirty]

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

If AB is done for the game, I am guessing they can switch his coverage scheme over to Bryant?

 

[upstater1]

Ricky Jean-Francois, Adam Butler, Marquis Flowers, Nicholas Grigsby, Geneo Grissom, Lawrence Guy, David Harris, Eric Lee, Trevor Reilly, Jordan Richards, and it doesn't help with Eric Rowe avoiding contact on tacklers and Gilmore making weak attempts to chuck the receiver.

 

[stcjones]

We needs 3-4 CB to play against the Steelers.
If you bench Gilmore, who would rather have out there?

Well of course you have to go with him this year and more....you backed up the brinks truck to his house.....doesn’t mean that the guy hasn’t played like sh!t overall this year....he can’t shut ANYONE down

 

[dafoe2016]

34-0...rams abusing the seahawks in seattle. WOW

Still don't trust them. They will be exposed in the playoffs. Reminds me of the Cardinals a few years ago.

 

[reflexblue]

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.

Considering that we have an old man and scubs playing at linebacker against one of the best offense's in football the pats are doing pretty good.

 

[supafly]

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.

They came back from that high altitude trip spent. They literally used the word “exhausted.”

They had a lousy week to regroup, then had to go on yet another 3 game road stretch, where these final 2 games were within 6 days of each other.

This kind of 5/6 game stretch is what some of us were leery of since the schedule was released in April. It has one hell of an effect on the team in many ways.

 

[Ross12]

Ross, I have a feeling there are more coming in the 2nd half

Probably, lol. I just went to remove someone and saw you already had hahaha... thanks for the assist

 

[SomePatsFan13]

Luuked must be Gilmore’s account. Dude is disliking every post criticizing 24.

The guy just sucks dude, how many huge plays does he have to give up for you people to realize? He’s been targeted with almost an 90% completion rate AND he’s been scored on today.

This has been going on for WEEKS and a good play here and there doesn’t make up for the fact that the guy is just not good. Dumb penalties, huge third down conversions, giving up on plays and getting scored on constantly?

I don’t like this for our already not so hot Defense.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Pat's are fortunate to only be down 7.

Squealers are playing hard and making the plays when they are needed.

 

[carmelo15]

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

Bryant is WR 3 for them he needs help there we’re screwed.

 

[DaBruinz]

Rowe needs to be benched in favor of Bademosi, imho. Rowe has played like crap. And it's had a trickle effect to the rest of the D because they're trying to cover for him..

Roberts continues to over-run plays and take himself out of position. Sit him for Harris..

The Pats need to keep Ben in the Pocket. Ben getting out of the pocket allows him to make plays..

You can't put Trey Flowers on Bell. Ever. You're hurting yourself twice by lessening your pass rush and giving Bell, essentially, a free catch..

 

[PittPatriot]

I hope running all those hills pay off...our defense is logging a lot of field time.

 

[catent]

No, it has never been offence. Did you just start watching sports here once America? it’s an S, unless you’re stupid

Or a massive prick...

 

[DefenseRules]

This defense is a joke. Very sad to watch.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

If AB comes back, it's night, night.

This! Whomever comes out of the AFC is winning the SB. The NFC is full of paper tigers.
