Game Thread W14 - Pittsburgh V New England (1 Viewer)

[dawrecker]

Why does NE keep going for FG's in the close games here recently. If you would have listened to belichek earlier in the year when they were running up the score he would say that is just the way we play and arent going to change our strategy and stop trying to score. Now doesnt look like they go for those 4th downs so much....hmmmm

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Steelers D is playing pretty stout. One nice play action fake by Brady has been the difference so far. Its going to come down to special teams blunders or Steelers O-line not doing its job.

 

[The Ref]

Thats short - big gamble coming up?

 

[montanagold]

Go Go GO!!! Play with abandonment!!!

 

[The Ref]

LOL at Joey from Boston in the Audio "awwwww cowme hon dats showt."

 

[montanagold]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st down!!!!

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Nice, Najeh.

 

[Scruff Mcgruff]

Ballsy call. Nice execution poopenport

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Vrabel got a hand on his arm there.

 

[montanagold]

Should have stayed with the run.... NE playing some good stout D right now.

 

[bostonfred]

Big stones by Roethlisberger with the head first slide.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Oh boy.

 

[montanagold]

I hope they fake a 4th down run and toss it in the endzone.

*EDIT* Nevermind.. edit to say that's too zealous.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

That was ####### ballsy.

 

[prosopis]

pitt needs to mix in a run here.

 

[montanagold]

They need to start running big time....

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Its looking like it might turn out like last weeks game, Pats get beat in every statistical catagory but the scoreboard.

 

[Captain Spaulding]

100% guarantee that the Pats score on this 2:00 minute drive before 1/2 time.

 

[montanagold]

Not if Pitt keeps to the defensive gameplan, pop em in the grill football. But, it looks like they're going into pass coverage.

 

[bostonfred]

Wes Welker WR MIA

 

[bostonfred]

There he is, sideline catch by Welker for 4 yards. Whee

 

[bostonfred]

A lot of passes going off the fingertips of the receivers the last few weeks. Probably not a coincidence that it's colder and they've been playing physical defenses like the Eagles, Ravens and Steelers.

 

[Green and Gold]

It's funny watching Moss being hit constantly 15-20 yards down the field.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Is Anthony smith out of the game now?

 

[dawrecker]

It's funny watching Moss being hit constantly 15-20 yards down the field.

at pats fans complaining about contact down the field when that is how they single handedly won 2 of their 3 SBs

Winning teams hit before, during, and after every play.

 

[bostonfred]

Excellent analysis by Cowher. The Steelers have to be happy at halftime. They have the Pats right where they want them. lol.

 

[twitch]

Cowher sounds like he's ready to suit up. Give that guy some cleats!

 

[Pat Patriot]

As usual, Shannon Sharpe added a lot at halftime.

 

[The Ref]

Well I don't know who has the sunday ticket in here, but as someone who is fliping between this game and the Vikings vs San Francisco all I can say is this...

"With the second pick in the 2008 draft, the New England Patriots select......"

Who cares... we're talking about this year.

 

[bostonfred]

Quick fake screen by Roethlisberger but Wilfork bulldozes through the middle and gets the sack before he can make the long designed pass to Ward.

 

[bostonfred]

It looks like the Pats are going with a lot of different formations this week to keep the linebackers fresh. The Steelers are beating the Pats in time of possession roughly 20 minutes to 10, but I don't know if they've been running the ball enough to really tire them out.

With the fourth pick in the fourth round, the Oakland Raiders select Joe Smith, OT Boise State.Mort, is Joe Smith going to be as good as say.... a Randy Moss?

The Ref is a Patriots fan....Go figure.

 

[bostonfred]

HOLY CRAP WHAT A PLAY

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

You have got to be kidding me.

 

[The Ref]

Wow.

 

[montanagold]

OMG... now that was one pretty broken play.

 

[thehornet]

oh my lord

 

[mad sweeney]

I laughed out loud on that play when I saw Smith getting beat for his 2nd or 3rd TD.

 

[PranksterJD]

Wow.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Lookey there...Mr. Smith getting burned AGAIN...

 

[bostonfred]

Who knew that the Pats had trick plays in their playbook.

 

[mad sweeney]

Who knew that the Pats had trick plays in their playbook.

Looks like they put in some "Burn #27" plays this week.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Anyone think Clownboy Smith will pull a Crayton after the game?

 

[Ike Turner]

Again, you never punt to New England. You have a better chance of making a first against their defense than you do of stopping their offense.

 

[The Ref]

Smith must feel like such a jerk right now.

 

[Ike Turner]

VERY critical possession for the Steelers. They have to put some points on the board here.

DAMN, it was Anthony Smith burned AGAIN on that trick play. What a donkey.

 

[bostonfred]

Rodney Harrison looks like he's fired up about something.
