Survived another game day thread. Trying to kill them with kindness and positivity. Hopefully it will spread like the plaque with more healthy results.
16 points is a good day. They've made other teams look a lot worse. Complain all you want about the pass rush, call it terrible, non playoff caliber etc. It got the job done again for the 6th time.
I know a lot will be made of Roethlisberger not being in the lineup but to be honest, I almost hoped he was. "Almost." He hasn't shown BB and the Patriots much over his career and I'm not about to start believing he would of made a difference today. I'm certainly not going to feel sorry for the Steelers and their fans. Deal with it, we dealt without the goat unjustly for 4 games and still came out 3-1. Patriots chose to spend 2nd and 3rd round picks as a contingency.
Offense looked superb today if you take away the drops. Which you can't, so overall they looked good. Starting to question who can stop this offense. Only answer I can come up with is the Patriots own mistakes. Don't let the final score fool you, this game could of easily been 39-13.
The kicker is becoming a problem. Love to be the cheerleader but not anymore. I don't trust the guy to make 30 yard field goals anymore, hell, I hold my breath when the ball is snapped for extra points. Sorry, he is one of the, if not thee highest paid kicker in football. Kick like you deserve it. Too bad Gould was just signed, I'd **** can his ass today before he really costs them an important game. Sorry, but when it all comes down to it he is playing like just another kicker wasting valuable cap space. Get your mojo back, kicker.
Anyway, off to Buffalo to hopefully avenge the loss. Feel confident they are going to get it done and put some space between them and the rest of the division.
Go Pats.
