Official pregame thread.... the AFC Championship Game vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (6:40 pm ET)

[LightSkinSmurf]

Ha, suckers. Belichick already has his spy in there. So they just locked him inside with them.

 

[long distance]

@ Red Zone

Blount - 1192 yds .. 18 TD
Bell ...... 1605 yds ... 9 TD

Bell's uncanny patient approach is making wonders in the open field ..
but suffers considerably in RZ..

So am I the only one that can so see Marshall Faulk's hate for the Patriots, even when he's giving them a "compliment" ?

 

[ViperGTS]

How can anyone PICK the Steelers? I mean they can hope...but pick? Nothing about the Steelers would make you pick them...

Not here you aren't.

Nope. He drips anti-Pats venom.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Yes. Let it pile up.

Emmanuel Sanders, Strahan and Bradshaw also picked them. And the sky is blue, water is wet, yadda yadda.

Somebody is senile. Or has alternative facts.

Because they dont run him enough in the Red Zone I believe. Steeler RZ woes maybe true but might be exaggerated. They had wide open WRs last week drop TDS.

Wow, now cnn has the anti patriot article, at least that's how I see it. "if the Steelers seem a groggy today they have a good reason "
why does the national media care about a alarm going off at a hotel, more than likely by a drunk stupid fan? I don't remember national media running with this when happened to.the Pats.

In case anyone missed this ...

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!

 

[long distance]

Not mentioned much before but wind could be a slight factor ..
for the field-goal Steelers hopefully





should stop before k-o but its gonna be wet

 

[PatriotReign]

The Packers activated an extra receiver in case one of their guys can't finish the game. I hope Bill doesn't try to make it without Floyd since so many guys are banged up.

Watching some of the pre game stuff here and there and if all you were going by was them, you'd think there is just no way the Pats can stop the Steelers offense and that the Steelers can easily duplicate a game plan that only a few teams have been able to do and they themselves have never been able to do.

I made the mistake (I know, I know) of listening to BSPN this morning around 10 am. Roethlisberger wasn't there, Shazier was hurt, the Pittsburgh defense was out of sync then but is great now, and the Steelers have won a million games in a row. The Patriots on the other hand are without Gronk. At the end of the segment everyone picked the Steelers except for Herm, who was up last - who said he'd take the Patriots to be different.


A casual fan listening to that is probably wondering why the Patriots should even bother suiting up. It was made to sound like the Steelers are going to be up 35-0 by halftime.

Some dope from NFL.com repeating lies and falsehoods.




Pats fans call the guy out. At first he brushed it off with typical arrogance, but the columnist simply got owned. Badly.

No wonder some in the national media don't like the Patriots. Their fans know more about the NFL than the professional writers do.
