Steelers deserved to lose against NE (1 Viewer)

Blueprint on how to beat Patriots

1. Blitz Tom Brady on every play as if he stole the food off your family's table. Hit him. Put fear into him. Get him to the point where he is yelling and throwing his little fit.

2. Hit Randy Moss when he catches the ball, hard. Jam him at the line, hard. Put fear in him. Make him not want to play anymore.

3. Smash Wes Welker around. Jam him at the line. Get him to the point where he doesn't want the ball and hears footsteps when he does get the ball.

4. Shove the ball down the NE defenses throat. Run them over, be the bully on the field. Issue punishment. Make it hurt when they try to tackle you.

5. Sustain long drives on the NE defense. Tire them out, make them want to accept the loss so they can get off the field and into the cold tub to nurse their wounds.

The Ravens executed the blueprint plan and put fear into the Patriots that night. New England was a beat team physically and mentally. The Steelers did not follow this blueprint. They should have pounded away with more Najeh Davenport. They should have played more aggressive on defense. I didn't see the Steelers playing with the hunger the Ravens showed at all. Steelers should be ashamed of their lack of fight.

Willie Parker is an easy arm tackle. Najeh Davenport carries a heavier "load" both literally and figuratively speaking. Any LB would rather bump heads with Willie Parker. Wilis McGahee owned the Patriots defense in a way that only a bigger, bruising back can.

Yeah. Pretty much.

McGahee didnt own anyone. He was merely RENTing them for a short time. Thankfully, he couldnt complete the payments.

McGahee most certainly did own them. Following your spin, what happened in the end of that game was more like having the house keys and the deed stolen in the middle of the night. Regardless, MaGahee made them look old, slow and unmotivated. Unfortunately for the Steelers, Parker gets the yards in the end but he just doesn't break the tackles.
 
Offensively, the Steelers were fine. They moved the ball, but they stalled out in the redzone. Defensively - :lmao:

So now NE is not only classless and bunch of cheats, but common thieves as well. Solid.

Dude, you are even more of an idiot that I thought. The Steelers had more rushing yards on fewer carries than the Ravens and had the ball for almost 2 minutes more than the Ravens did. If you think McGahee was the reason the game was close last week and that Parker contributed to the loss this week, you couldn't be more wrong.McGahee had 31 carries for 138 yards (4.6 ypc) and 4 receptions for 21 yards.

Parker had 21 carries for 124 yards (5.9 ypc) and 4 receptions for 23 yards.

Give Parker 10 more carries and he probably gets 160-170+ yards rushing. Parker was not the reason Pittsburgh lost. Tom Brady was, unless you in your finite wisdom think 257 passing yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT is better than 399 yards, 4 TDs and 0 INTs. Also, Boller was more effective against the Pats defense than Roethlisberger was.

By the way, great blue print. You could have just stated a far simpler one:

The blueprint to beating the Patriots is to score more points than they do.

Ah... much better.

 
Amazingly convenient that placing all of the blame on the Steelers for "not following the blueprint" also means that you give the Pats no credit for an impressive victory.

:pickle: right, I see the Patriots "accepting the loss" readily.FWIW, I hear There's some NFL teams hiring coaches this year. You might want to show them your blueprint and apply.

have 40-50 mph wind gusts... along with a good running game, and you have a chance to beat the Patriots.

if it wasn't for the wind on Monday night the Ravens would have been clobbered just as bad as Indy is doing to Bal tonight.

 
Umm... Dman, your blueprint could apply to any team. Blitz the QB, cover the receivers, stop the RBs, convert 3rd downs, score in the redzone. Its a flawless strategy really.

Nope... NE vs INDY is going to be very interesting in the playoffs...
 
Not to hijack with logic, but here's my take...

The first half was played pretty smart by the Steelers, and I felt they had a lot of momentum going in at the half despite being down. They were moving the ball OK and keeping pressure on Brady. In the 2nd half I thought the Steelers sort of let the game plan from the 1st half fade away after the Pats scored. And then there was that reverse on 2nd and goal. I thought that was a horrible call. Najeh should have been giving the rock 3 straight time there. He would have scored, I'm pretty sure of it. The Steelers O-line actually looked good for the first time in quite a few weeks today. The Pass protection could be better, but the did well run blocking I thought.

Bottom line is that the "blueprint" the Steelers came in with could have worked had they stuck with it. I think, like most teams have against the pats this year, when they got down by more than a TD in the 2nd half they panicked.

I guess I gave you too much credit for your abstract thinking/spinning. Let me be a little more concrete: Parker relies more on good blocking to compliment his speed to get yards, while McGahee was getting his yards with good blocking and muscle. After the first hit Parker seemed to be more likely to go down, while McGahee was laying down wood and running over people. Because of this, Parker's style is not demoralizing. McGahee's is. Parker's style doesn't lead to drives that churn out first down after first down against an otherwise solid defense. McGahee's obviously can. Despite worse ypc, the Pats seemed to be more confused by McGahee, though he was the Raven's first/best option and primary target design for the Patriot Defense to stop. The Pats were more worried about Roethlisberger. In summary: McGahee owned the Patriots Defense and yet his team still lost because of some flukey whistles (i.e., A.Coach timeout; false start) that kept the game alive while McGahee was on the sideline. Not to hijack the topic here, but my biggest question was why McGahee hasn't been doing this the whole year? Was he just inspired (night game, big opponent, playing for Sean Taylor, etc.)? Were the Patriots really that weak on stopping the run?
