OT: Antonio Brown ruled out against Denver

[SalemPats]

Well, Pitt still has two talented receivers, but i think losing Brown is too much to win going into Denver.

This hurts the Steelers. Talib likes to stay on the outside, play press and usually struggles or doesn't cover quick speedy receivers like a Brown, Beckham, S Smith etc.. Chris Harris is overrated and Brown would have had a field day.

Talib will have a field day with a physically weak Bryant or Wheaton. Steelers will need to win this one 13-10 or something like that.

Does this mean that Brown has to give back his Grammy?

 

[Deus Irae]

Of course, I get that. I just need more to go on in the context of this game specifically -- with Ben hobbled, his biggest weapons sidelined, and Pittsburgh's defense less than stout. It's not even going to be cold.

Ok.....


They can still feature their 3WR sets, because they've got the speedy DHB to still draw coverage.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Good. I just want NE to win tomorrow and go to Denver and get crowned AFC champions in front of their entire crowd

 

[Haterproof]

I'm going to LMAO if Denver somehow finds a way to lose this game!

 

[Gronkowski123]

****ing burfict..

denver gets a cake walk to the title game. when we defeat the chiefs we have to try to win at mile high, a place where we usually lose. you can bet rodger and blandino will do everything possible to have forehead in the SB

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Everything seems to be going Denver's way right now. That officiating screw job in our regular season game against them is looking more and more significant.

Revenge for Steeler's playoff loss against Tebow.

 

[dannydyn]

Steelers front-7 better show up. F@$%^@$%@$#kkkkkkkkkk

As a Steelers fan this pretty much seals the deal IMO in Denver.

As a football fan this is a damn shame because AB is such a joy to watch.

I know Pitt gets little love on this board, for obvious reasons...but Brown is not just an elite player, he's an elite worker who does it the right way. A 6th-round pick that has simply worked himself into the position he's in now.

It's a shame to lose a guy like this, in a game like this...due to that hit, from a guy like Burfict.

The million dollar question is! Does anyone want to see another 43-8 embarrassing game on Superbowl Sunday?

I would screen, slant, crossing route, and quick hitch them to death. Try to chew up YAC. Force Denver to cover in space and make them tackle (something they didn't do well last time). They still have the weapons to do that.

We were (still) counting on you....

Good luck! and hopefully we see you guys in Foxboro next week....

 

[RobertWeathers]

They still have some very good receiving threats but I would be shocked if Pitt came out of that game with a W.

 

[mosslost]

That's funny. I was just thinking Manning is why Steelers could still win. He is the Steelers last remaining weapon.

PS: I love the score too.. 2-0. I loved that SB

 

[Joey007]

Damn you Burfict!

**** I don't know what those obvious reasons are. I love Antonio Brown. His celebrations are obnoxious but if that's the worst you can say about a player he's a pretty cool dude

 

[varjao]

Denver will have a live practice on TV Sunday

 

[Froob]

I'll still take Squeelers.

 

[TBR]

Has there been a luckier team all year long than Denver?
