Pats @ Steelers (1 Viewer)

[belljr]

Used to be a Boswell defender.

Not anymore.

Bye Felicia.

So int or last second touchdown is how we lose

The Patriots were gashing the Steelers defensive front the entire quarter with the run game.  Steelers just lost Heyward.  You have to think there is a very good chance that the Patriots get the first down there.  If not, they still have the Steelers pinned back.  I think that was a bad decision by BB.

 

[tombonneau]

I can't believe they weren't going for it there

Yeah really felt like they would. Must have more faith in his D than I do.

He probably felt lucky just to be there with that PI call. 3 gifted points there.

I thought for sure they would go for it.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I feel like the Steelers have to come away with at least 3 on this drive or they're in a lot of trouble.  If the Patriots end up with the ball under 4 minutes down by less than 7, I don't think the Steelers can win the game.

 

[tombonneau]

If I'm Pitt I'm not throwing this drive unless it's 3rd&6+

 

[ShamrockPride]

It was a long 1 yard to try a sneak. Not surprised they kicked.

 

[fred_1_15301]

So if the Steelers score a TD, do they go for 2?      

 

[irish eyes]

Have to, no question. Not joking either 

 

[tombonneau]

So if the Steelers score a TD, do they go for 2?      

Absolutely. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Stupid play call again.  So frustrated with the play calling

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Aaaand I've seen enough.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ben with another choke job.  Gee - the run is working so well on the drive so let's put in Ben's hands.

 

[belljr]

How this team won 7 games

Ben can't throw deep 

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Dumb crap going back to the pass on 2nd and 3rd when you are gouging them in the run.

Bye Tomlin.  

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Speaking as a Patriot-hater, it is infuriating to watch teams hand games to New England like this.

 

[Man In The Box]

Of course the deflection lands right in the DB’s lap, cause Patriots. 

 

[tombonneau]

If I'm Pitt I'm not throwing this drive unless it's 3rd&6+

Like I said. What a bunch of dummy coaches. 

 

[Bossman]

Aaaand I've seen enough.

Not so fast ...

NE blocked 2 punts last week and still lost.

 

[irish eyes]

Nice hold by NE on rogers

 

[JoeSteeler]

Ben with another choke job.  Gee - the run is working so well on the drive so let's put in Ben's Hans.

He tries to win it solo

 

[irish eyes]

 2 WR's in the same spot? Someone ran the wrong route.

Roger's was held by his collar

 

[belljr]

Fire Todd Haley

 

[irish eyes]

Game over!

 

[belljr]

Not sure why I thought today would be different

 

[irish eyes]

Watching the Steelers is like watching the movie ground hog day. And yet I keep torturing myself. Same sh@@ every week

 

[fred_1_15301]

Well I think the refs saved Tomlin another boneheaded challenge because I think he was down anyways

 

[irish eyes]

I've never seen a team in any sport at any level fold like the Steelers in crunch time 

 

[belljr]

What a catch

 

[fred_1_15301]

Hot diggity what a catch!

 

[Thunderlips]

I swear a couple of hunters were just shooting at that duck.  What the heck was Brady thinking?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Brady what the hell.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Amazing that that was actually a pick.  I thought for sure he was carried out of bounds.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Whoa, u don't see Tom do that very often 

 

[JoeSteeler]

Amazing that that was actually a pick.  I thought for sure he was carried out of bounds.

Looked like it on the live feed

 

[tombonneau]

Gotta think he had enough on it to get it out of bounds? 

 

[Bossman]

Ben with another choke job.  Gee - the run is working so well on the drive so let's put in Ben's hands.

Brady - "Hold my beer"

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ben will choke it away though

 

[Workhorse]

That holding call was a back breaker before the pick.  Been some head shakers today.

 

[tombonneau]

Ben will choke it away though

If these dummies don't just run the ball and control the clock for 6 minutes and score they should be fired. 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That holding call was a back breaker before the pick.  Been some head shakers today.

Gotta say, that was a highly questionable holding call,

It seems to me that a thread for a game like this would be at 6 or 7 pages by now as recently as just a couple of years ago.  Has traffic to this site dropped off that much?

Edit: This is a nationally-televised game of crucial importance for arguably the two most polarizing teams in the league, and there are only 15 people in this thread.

The hobby is past its prime, there are other NFL-oriented forums, and the way these forums are moderated don't make it as fun a place to hang out anymore.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Haden was a great pickup.

 

[irish eyes]

Nice catch Macdonald 

 

[Arodin]

Reading this thread, you'd think the Steelers were down by 20.

They actually lead by just enough to have all hopes crushed at the end, but it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe this time Lucy won't pull the football away!

 

[belljr]

Gotta say, that was a highly questionable holding call,

Your face is highly questionable!!

 

[Bossman]

Gotta say, that was a highly questionable holding call,

Steelers get all the calls.

 

[tombonneau]

Gotta say, that was a highly questionable holding call,

I think it was the initial turn of the right arm. 

 

[tombonneau]

I don't think Pats touch the ball again.
