New England Patriots vs Pittsburgh Steelers (5 Viewers)

[Old Smiley]

Garsh! A shot play from the fifty on first down....

 

[Deamon]

Where did that red on his helmet come from

Brady's mangina

Nope. More cheating by the pats. It distracts all Pitt Defensive backs just like a cape in a bull fight. they run toward the red spot, and Brady throws it the other direction.

Your horse is dead.

It was on Edelman's helmet, but okay.

The only thing that will salvage tonight is a Buccos come-from-behind win!

Wow, the DHB of the Pirates ties it up!

Sadly I care much more about a Buccos win tonight than I do a Steelers win.

That's not sad at all. Polanco is the pits though.

Yup I really hope he figures it out. He's got so much talent but seemingly a 2 cent brain.

Sophomore slump and all of that, he'll be fine IMO.

Nice hairline on Sheard there.

 

[Judge Smails]

Terrible hands Wheaton. Another drop after the hula hoop impersonation..

 

[Old Smiley]

bendy

 

[Billy Bats]

Vegas Trying hard for the scratch.

 

[Insein]

Well that's sucks ####.

 

[Old Smiley]

two for the cover

[Kilgore]

What was the spread?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

#### you Pats for allowing that score.

 

[sho nuff]

Nice garbage time to Brown there.

 

[ShamrockPride]

What happened to 42-24 pats homers??!

 

[Insein]

### #### it. Edelman was even with Brown before that drive. You suck NE.

 

[sho nuff]

What was the spread?

Over / under came down today too.

That made it close I think.

 

[Steeler]

Awesome. I'm playing against the Ben and Antonio and the didn't do enough to win the game but scored that meaningless TD in garbage time to #### me in fantasy football. I would always pick the Steelers over my fantasy team, but this TD didn't help the Steelers at all

 

[jon007]

Steelers are still in good shape and should close the quarter with a 2 & 2 record. The Patriots look to be 2 & 2 at the quarter as well.

 

[Billy Bats]

What was the spread?

7

 

[iamkoza]

Garbage time special there, lame

Yahoo makes it a push

 

[BigSteelThrill]

If not for DHB and Scobee... would have been some towelwaving.

Grats to the Pats.

Mr. Michaels is untouchable, sorry bro. Bye!

 

[Stealthycat]

Pats cheated somehow - ESPN will report it in 2022

 

[Mr. Soup Nazi]

Proud Ben/Antonio owner. Way to make it happen when it matters least.

 

[GoBirds]

Playing against Ben and Brown. F THE PATS.

Patriots win by exactly 7. My prediction that every game this year will end in a push is looking very strong. #gambling

 

[Jercules]

Great first game, kudos to the Steelers for keeping it close when it really should have been a NE romp. Reminds me of the SD game for us last year, which came within a play or two of being a demolition, as opposed to a solid win.

 

[chauncey]

Pretty evenly matched game other than a few goofs by Scobee and DHB. Pittsburgh is looking like a contender this year. Pats looked good but not angry dominant run up the score good. I expected more.

 

[iamkoza]

I'm going to write a letter to judge Berman to tell him that Antonio brown trick play should count as -7 rushing yards

 

[sho nuff]

Fun game for FF...not for people who like great defense.

May repeat in my PPR league this year. Combo of Brown and Edelman looks to be nasty good.

Steelers headsets went out and they faked a snap count causing a penalty on a goal line stand.

They were intentionally wearing their helmets loose to draw illegal hands to the face penalties.

Well tonight really sucked balls

They have a habit of heating up after a month or so (maybe they are saving all the hate for the Indy game?). Give time for the OL to gel more as well - I was really impressed by how well they held up this year.

 

[Irish Chaos]

Wheaton looks prime. Pick him up if you still can.

you're pulling my leg right? he had like 3 or 4 bad drops tonight. I thought he looked awful and salvaged a night when pitts offense should not have even been on the field the last 2 or 3 possessions....?

 

[Donny Loved Bowling]

Well, at least playing on Thursday night gives the Steelers a jump on week 2 - extra time to work out some kickers. Nick Novak anyone?

Insert "what are you playing in a 6 team league" comment here

Wahhhh sour grapes much?

 

[Jeremy]

Man, do I wish I had a piece of the Steelers offense. They are going to be in a shootout every single week with that defense, and when Bell and Bryant come back they're going to be explosive. Lot of fantasy points going to be scored in their games like they were last night.

 

[Freelove]

Hey, points can start coming into play as early as the 7th playoff tiebreak.

 

[WampusCat43]

Up against Brady in one league, ABrown in another, and Gronk in the 3rd. 76-0. When does basketball start?

On the bright side, we may never hear of him again after the next time he uses the word "Ipad" on air.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Good game. Meaning it was entertaining. Not a particular good game defensively.

I think the Steelers might have won if they followed these normal practices:

1) Make makeable field goals.

2) Take like timeouts and stuff.

3) Not leave that big guy with the 8 and the 7 on his jersey completely uncovered.

The Steelers certainly shot themselves in the foot many times - otherwise would have had an opportunity to win the game. You simply can't have that many self inflicted wounds and expect to win against NE.

Nope. A subject was raised, I responded, without editorializing or pontification. You don't even know where I stand on the either matter.

Don't forget the invisibility cloak on Gronk.

 

[Stealthycat]

allegedly they went out - its more probable than not, however if taken before a judge there really is no evidence
