Game Thread W10 - New England at Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

[McBokonon]

A bit early, but I've been drinking all day and am now ready to yell at my television in a most heated manner. Huge game anyway, but my fantasy team is toast so now I'm focused. Like an extremely focused person.

Pin it.

It'll be interesting to see how Brady starts the game with that bum foot. He didn't practice much this week.

Lies.If they dont list him as out, anything from New England about injuries has to be considered a lie, especially where Tom is concerned.Just consider Tom as being inside the video/film facility all week, instead being on the practice field.

Three night games in a row for the Steelers. I'm sure some teams have done this before, but I can't remember it.

 

[Masked Vigilante]

One of these two teams will win the AFC

Its all about playoff seeding in the AFC.

 

[timschochet]

I don't think so. The Steelers have a decent shot, but so do the Jets, Indy, Baltimore. And I still think San Diego has a shot as well. New England is a good team, but I don't think they get to the championship game.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I heard Brady was gonna cut his hair before the game so Ben wouldn't mistake him for a chick.

Way to go out on a limb Timmy.

Yep.

Are the Steelers a better, more talented team than NE right now? yup.

Are the Steelers a more experienced team with a home field advantage? yup.

NE wins it though. They dink, dunk, bendBUTdon'tbreak, manage the clock, and capitalize on a couple of dumb PIT mistakes to kick a cheap last minute FG.

The Brady/Belichick haters claim NE didn't "win it", that PIT "gave them them a gift" and the NE faithful revel like it's 2001!

:maybe:

 

[timschochet]

These are the two best teams of the last decade, and if the Steelers win the championship this year, they should be considered equal to New England as far as "team of the decade" goes.

It's a new decade.

[Choke]

Are the Steelers

Both starting defensive ends... Smith & Keisel.Both starters on the left side of the OLine... Starks and Kemoeateu.Are all OUT. Thats a truckload of talent and experience absent at pivotal positions.

*Tim is a shill. He fakes being a Steeler fan and then states the dumbest stuff.

you have to respect what PIT has done over the past decade; they've been phenomenal.But ESPN and the perception-makers always favor the QB/Coach combos. IF Cowher was there for the whole run and Ben had a better image, PIT would get more love/recognition in that department. Please realize, I'm not saying they don't deserve it, I'm just saying that Brady/Belichick, Manning/Dungy steal the headlines a whole lot more and will forever get better rememberance.

According the NFL... this is actually true. Decades go 1-10 when they make use of such breakpoints.

 

[cubbie5150]

Hey Arians, it is allowed to run the ball twice in a row early in a ball game

Thank you. And I am no shill.

Really? So 2000 was the last year of the nineties?

Way too much time.

Yes.

 

[C-Bound]

First 2 passes to different TE's and neither are Hernandez...WTF

 

[CrossEyed]

Great...I have Hernandez and Woodhead and it's been all Gronk and Law Firm on the first drive.

Okie-dokie.

 

[timschochet]

Steelers need to blitz here. They can't just let Brady stand back there.

 

[Workhorse]

What a drive by Brady.

 

[CrossEyed]

Of course, Gronkowski.

 

[Ghost Rider]

That was surgical. Brady absolutely carved up that vaunted Steelers D.

 

[SuperGreen]

so much for all that bs about gronkowski in the doghouse, playing himself out of a role, more PT for hernandez blah blah very few that write about fantasy know jack.

 

[Johnny Ice]

I guess Gronkowski had a good week of practice. He's the new go to guy.

 

[Ned]

That TD pass was razor sharp.

 

[SuperGreen]

pitt flatter than a pancake

 

[Choke]

Both starters on the left side of the OLine... Starks and Kemoeateu.Are all OUT.

Wait... Legursky is OUT atthe other guard spot also?####.

 

[timschochet]

New England is just crushing the Steelers early. Pittsburgh can't do anything right; the Pats are doing EVERYTHING right.

The run went right through Keisel spot.They have no push with Eason and Ziggy at the ends.The oline is all out and cant block any of the defenders, especially on Bens blind side.I dont give a crap other then staying healthy.

 

[Workhorse]

Surprising start. The Patriots are the more physical team so far.

 

[tkrull]

With his questionable receiving weapons and patchwork offensive line, I wonder why Ben keeps getting ranked in the Top 6 in FF.

 

[timschochet]

Surprising start. The Patriots are the more physical team so far.

They're the more everything team so far.Choke is right about the injuries. But every team has lots of injuries this time of year.

 

[G-Money]

Where is Hernandez?????

 

[SuperGreen]

Where is Hernandez?????

i traded for him this week. i am not amused.

 

[Wombat1]

God do I hate the Patriots dink and dunk offense. They ALWAYS convert 3rd down
