  1. And it wouldn't have been a sack fumble had Painter thrown it to Garcon when he was supposed to. Yes, Anthony could have had better technique there. But the route was a stick and Painter looked right at him, was indecisive, and paid for it.

    I saw that too, and yelled, "THROW THE :cuss: BALL CURTIS!!!". I lost my mind when he just froze long enough for Harrison and Palomalu to get back there.

    But the O-line did exception against the Steelers of all teams. Addai's pass blocking is seriously second to known amongst the RB's in this league, guys such a team player.

    Although, I hated when they weren't adjust to Troy, who basically played on the line of scrimmage 4 all of the 4th Q. They did at times, only when they ran it away from him.

    But the left him unblocked waaaaay too many times. And it took him little time to figure out the snap count.

  2. ^^^^ As athletic and talented as Troy is, I think Clark would've had the match up 1-on-1 is Peyton was throwing it to him. I agree with you completely.

    Clark usually can't be matched up 1 on 1 when Peyton is throwing it to him, we saw how teams have double teamed him(or even triple team in rare cases).

    But that was just an awful throw by Kerry, I also think Reggie bested Ike Taylor for most of the night.

  3. I think the secondary did a solid job with tackling though, and there wasn't toooo much YAC. Been wouldn't have had nearly 400yds if the offense was able to stay on the field. We ran against the Steelers!!! And Addai was hitting that hole hard.

    But at times it felt like it was, the Steelers offense, defense, and our own offense vs. our defense

  4. Our defense did play pretty well at times. We shouldn't get too excited, however.

    1. The Steelers were on offensive linemen 5 through 9 tonight. Most professional d-lines will chew that up.

    2. Despite our improvements against the run (again, having to do in part with their destroyed o-line), Roethlisberger threw for over 350 yards.

    3. Our defense was still lousy on 3rd downs for most of the night.

    4. We gave up against their 2-minute offense.

    I did like the play from Nevis, and Anderson. Frathis was beastly, of course. Our linebackers seemed to gel, and Lefeged had a good game in the back.

    I think if our Offense was able to stay on the field consistently, are D will improve, they were so winded. I was surprised at how solid they were when it came to tackling and getting to the ball.

  5. If anything this game proved to us, that:

    1. They are for real, because they hung in there with the Saints, and they did extremely well, plus they have one of the best Ds in the league on top of a good offense. They stopped the Dolphins and killed us. There looking really good, and unless Peyton comes back soon, it's looks like the Texans finally live up to the hype for once.

    I wouldn't bet on it, next year? Yes, definitely, this season, no. It would be better in the long term if he waited till next year anyways.

    Texans are good, but we're not even 1/4 into the season yet, so anything can happen. We've seen teams go 8-0 then end the season 8-8.

    No one can really see the end of this season, this early.

  6. This was a great game.

    And trust me Pats fans, we know all about dropped TD passes, and tipped INT's. Although Brady wasn't sacked, he was pressured well enough. Surprisingly, by the team that's 31 in sacks, and getting to the QB. That 3rd pick was just Brady being desperate and predictable(the one to the TE on the seam).

    If anything, the Pats will have to keep their guard up against the Jets. This game exposed A LOT of flaws in the team, but nonetheless, you guys are nowhere near our level mediocrity at the moment lol.

    I expect the Pats to bounce back.

    But need to work on their flaws, quickly, I feel you guys got away with a lot of flaws, because of how opportunistic the D was. But if this was the D during the dynasty era. This Pats team would've been unstoppable, that D had to many playmakers.

  7. As great as Brady is, I'm still not convinced he's the best of this generation.

    When I watch the Pats play, I see a great team. An awesome special teams, a hall of fame coach(spygate or not), a defense that gets turnovers(2nd last year in most TO's), and probably the best pass protecting lines in the league. I mean, he barely see's pressure. And when he has seen a good amount of pressure, that most QB's see regularly, he makes some questionable throws. Not to say he isn't good under pressure, he excels in pocket presence. But I don't see him doing that behind an average or inconsistent line.

    His teammates excel in yard after catch(YAC), a lot of his 2-3yd passes easily turn into 20yds. I mean he's great, but people say he plays with NOBODIES, and that's simply not true.

    There's no debate that he was the better QB last year, and probably will be this year. But he has unbelievable support around him, and I'm not convinced that another QB could easily step back there, and not be able to win with that team. But Tom comes through when his number is called, like most of the elite QB's in the game.

    I think Manning has had superb talent around him too, but at least I can admit it. :-p

    Either way, both sides cannot look at it objectively.
