Patriots vs. Sh*tsburgh Squeelers Game Day thread (LET'S GOOOO!!!!!)

[Kdo5]

What the hell was the gameplan today? 2 best TEs aren't involved whatsoever. the defense isn't keying on Bell, nor can they get a pass rush going.

Perhaps they are being well covered. We have plenty of opportunities with the other receivers and backs but most of them are just ****ing up.

The Pats are notorious for having defensive struggles against QBs there is not much film on. They will tighten it up next half

It's not that they have defensive struggles, it's that BB tends to deliberately use vanilla defenses the first time he plays a QB (ironically, this is why Matt Schaub became such a hot commodity).

don't understand how you don't spy bell

I assume this would mean the same thing as key?

Missed FG and An interception in the end zone is the only reason this team isn't behind by a touchdown to the immortal Landry Jones. Absolutely pathetic first half performance.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Team needs to regroup at halftime. Sloppy first half.

 

[luuked]

He started a few games last year. But that doesn't explain how the offense is sputtering.

The offense is not sputtering if it were not for a couple of bad drops on third downs.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

its true, a couple drops, seems almost too simple to say but they are drive killers....as Brady always says you gotta be perfect...

Landry ****ing Jones shredding

 

[BradyFTW!]

What a joke....landry Jones azz raping the Pats

They've scored 10 points, man. Try to maintain some perspective here.

This is why McD will never be a great HC in this league and hopefully does not succeed BB when he decides to retire....you have 2 of the best 5 TEs in the league....and u can't find a way to get them involved offensively?! Pathetic

10 unanswered points by Pittsburgh... why isn't Gronk being targeted more?

 

[TBR]

Sorry I'll take any first half where we have more points than the other team

Well maybe if this was a playoff game or SuperBowl.

This is against a Pittsburgh team with the 2nd best QB in the league not playing, their 2nd best WR out, and several key guys on defense.

 

[farn]

Tomlin : long convo will help you - keep chatting.

 

[ANGR89]

We need some major half time adjustmentso! defense start tackling better and everyone hold onto the ball more, and oh yeah throw to Bennett and Gronk!!

 

[JayNM]

Our pass rush is HORRIBLE. Long is good, but old. Sheard is a disappointment. I never see interior rush from our DTs

 

[Saint Pat]

This defense is not bad. People just thought it was something that it isn't. If Ryan Tannehill can light this defense up, then any average QB can. What this means is that the offense can't afford to make mistakes like dropping balls when the defense is off.

 

[SVN]

Pittsburgh defense has played well.Unlike the old lebeau defenses, they are making the pats drive the length of the field with short passes and runs taking the TEs out of the game. If it were not for the brady scrambles, we wouldnt have scored 14 pts. They are forcing us in too many 3rd downs and things like drops happen more if there are more such plays.

 

[UFGatorPat]

This defense is going to prevent us from getting a ring this year. They're so ****ing afraid of getting beat deep that they play 20 yards back and give up dinks and dunks and let teams play them all the way down the field. They're garbage.

McCourty might as well be playing on the bench as deep as he plays and opportunities he has.

Seems like the Steelers are pretty much conceding the flats and the shallow middle in order to lock down the seams. Which is fine, we just need to make them pay by continuing to connect with Edelman over the middle and the RBs in the flats. So far, the stops have only come because of clean drops by our guys, assuming they clean that up we should be fine.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

if they would throw the ****ing ball to the tight ends brady would have 250 yards
