Steelers @ Patriots Gameday Thread

[MrNLM]

Ok....so who controls the headsets...the nfl or the home team?

If you look closely at the ear cups of the headsets they say "Beats by Jastremski"   

[jabbanobadda]

not sure. but a guy known as 'deep throat' operates the frequency jammers

I'm sure his nickname is Headset Jammer...not because he jams opponents headsets, no way, but because he likes to JAM! while wearing headphones...yeah, that's the ticket!

Hopefully we can pull out an offensive performance similar than this on Sunday. We may have had worse preseason than expected but so did the Patriots. Especially on the offensive line. We don't have the benefit of facing a cupcake defense though.

[Malakai432]

Steelers D must've watched game tape of last years AFC championship and tried to emulate the Colts D.

[OhioColtsGirl]

Steelers defense is pathetic.

[PeterBowman]

Pats by far have the best 3 yard passing game in the league

Yeah I have a feeling it's going to be a lot different. I don't think Andrew Luck will have the leisure of having much time in the pocket at all.

[Gramz]

I think I'll skip the fanfare parade here tomorrow....  that a.m. morning show.

[shakedownstreet]

snooze... time to switch over to lifetime network and see if they are rerunning heidi

[OhioColtsGirl]

Brady has more TD passes than incompletions. Wow

[BloodyChamp]

I still say it's all Haley's fault, and if it's anybody else's fault it's Ben's and Mike's for not firing the * right after the double pass. The defense stinks now yes but only because their spirit has been broken.

[buffalo34]

I made the right decision not watching this game, right?

 

I mean, what was there to see that I'd enjoy?

 

Watching a banner being hung?

 

Seeing the crowd go nuts for Brady?

 

Watching the Steelers play this bad?

[Bluefire4]

I'm just hoping they surprise like they did against the Rams defense. Just need to see how Pep's game plan works out.

[PeterBowman]

Pats D got a lot of work to do too.

[shakedownstreet]

steelers back in field goal miss range

It's a possibility, that's for sure. The offense definitely has enough power to put up bundles of points against even the Bills D. I think a lot of it just depends on execution. They can have a tendency to come out looking very flat. Let's definitely hope that's not the case.

[Malakai432]

steelers back in field goal miss range

Yeah, why couldn't Josh Scooby Do play like this against the Colts????

[Gramz]

 Finally

[Gramz]

 two point conversion

[Malakai432]

It's a game, if the Steelers D can manage to stop absolutely sucking. Ben seems to be limping around, shocking..........

[PeterBowman]

As bad as Pitts D has been...NEs hasnt bewn any better.

[Gramz]

Hot Damn.   

[shakedownstreet]

man i love watching brady getting sacked 

[Susie Q]

Poor Tommy got sacked.

[Malakai432]

man i love watching brady getting sacked

Yeah, it's a beautiful sight to behold.

[Malakai432]

I'm surprised he didn't complain to the ref.

[B~Town]

Pats getting chippy

[B~Town]

Wow

[Malakai432]

Steelers are coming to life......

It's........it's alive!!!!! Thanks to the play of the OL and Williams.

And some phenomenal catches.

[shakedownstreet]

[MrNLM]

Oh my Marcus!

[Malakai432]

I think I need another two fingers of 21 yr old Balvinie......... Gotta love my Scotch.

[PeterBowman]

Other than one pretty pass I dont think Bradys comleted another pass over 10 yards in the air.

[dgambill]

As bad as Pitts D has been...NEs hasnt bewn any better.

yep...I'm not impressed with NEs secondary...butler hasn't been awful but he has been beat when bens had time and that is WITH help over the top with safety help. If Pittsburg had Bryant and bell I think they score Tds instead of missed fgs and this is a close game. All I can say is NE defense will get better.....Pittsburgs won't this year. Pittsburg has to take chances on defense because they won't hold up against NE offense...keep running and don't forget about miller.

[Malakai432]

Yeah that's definitely a flag.

[PeterBowman]

Yeah that's definitely a flag.

Is it bad that Im actually surprised it was called?

[Bluefire4]

Guess who has Edleman and Brown in the same league.. now if I only had Gronk.

[dgambill]

Do we realize Pittsburg would be winning this game if they hadn't missed those fgs....and had some really dumb penalties/play calls....really missed some excellent opportunities.

[Malakai432]

Is it bad that Im actually surprised it was called?

, no not at all.

[Malakai432]

I expect the Patriots to shut this game down now. It was a good comeback though, Steelers have a chance still but getting stopped there was huge.
