I am worried about this game... I have a feeling we will lose.
I have felt that in past playoff games as well. Usually when i feel like that I am right. This time i just don't think the Pats will lose. I keep trying to figure out how they would lose but i don't see it.
How would they lose?
Brown breaks a few short passes for TDs or gets behind guys. Possible but i don't see it. Pats know better than this. This is the best thing about their D.
Bell has a monster game. Possible but i don't see it. The Pats know how to handle Bell and keep him from taking over the game.
Big Ben has the game of his life. I don't think this happens. He is hurt or feeling the effects of his injuries from his rough style over the years or something. He is no the QB he was 2-3 years ago.
Pitts D shows up big. Again it is possible but i don't see it. Pitt is just too stubborn and predictable. Brady knows what is coming and Pitt will just never change.
Brady has a pretty bad game. Possible but i don't think so. He almost never has 2 subpar games in a row and is lazer focused. Maybe he gets too tight but he is probably too experienced for that.
The OL gets Brady killed. After last game i don't think so. Scar will be on these guys particularly the interior guys. The OTs will continue to be good and Pitt does not have the guys who are near as good interior pass rushers as Houston. And I don't see the same thing working on the Pats 2 weeks in a row.
So I keep trying to think of a way the Pats can realistically lose. Right now all I have is Pitt plays very well and keeps it within 10 and gets a few lucky bounces to put them over the top. So while it is possible I just don't see a great path for a Steelers victory.
