Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread Week 15 - Pats @ Steelers

[ashley]

Here's hoping we can bounce back from last weeks horrible loss. If we win today, we should at the worst have the number 2 seed. A huge game!!!! Hoping for no injuries as well!!!!

Let's discuss!!!

If Shelton isn't good enough to dress, then cut him and sign another big defensive tackle. The Patriots need someone to rotate with Malcom Brown and Lawrence Guy

Why is Shelton even still on the roster. I'm sure another body could potentially see the field.

Steelers inactives: QB Mason Rudolph, S Marcus Allen, CB Brian Allen, RB James Conner, OT Zach Banner, LB Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, DE L.T. Walton. With Conner out, it could create more opportunity for former Patriots RB Stevan Ridley behind projected starter Jaylen Samuels.

Dwayne Allen is back, not sure if that will help much in the passing game, but hopefully he'll help out in the running game.

Let’s not let Stevan Ridley torch us

Conner out. That OL makes that running game go so that might not matter. Conner isn’t THAT good...

Another game where they dare the other team to run the ball. Another
200 yard game running by the Steelers?

Shelton is awful but he at least knows the defense and is probably better than street free agents at this point.

It’s week 16. Most teams have 70-75 guys on the roster (including IR and PS). If you’re not employed by now, chances are you’re worse than even bad roster players.

Same with Rivers and Davis who almost certainly won’t be around next year after riding the healthy scratch express.

Awful but familiar with the D/known entity vs guys who aren’t good enough to land on a roster by mid-December and likely are either out of shape or unfamiliar with the scheme (or both).

The time to address the putrid DL has long since come and gone. It is what it is, which is among the worst in the league. Need to try to overcome it somehow.

This is the type of game real SB contenders win. Get it done. You already gave up any room for error. No more excuses.

Weird, none of the twitter links in this post are loading for me

Bill thinks it's the Super Bowl vs Buffalo, it's ok, he's getting old....why else would he have 87 on the field when they KNEW it was a lateral end of game play..

May the defense find a way to put some pressure on Big Ben. That offensive line is very good at giving him a lot of time in the pocket. But given Roeth's banged up ribs, it would help a great deal to get past that gunslinger's protection.
