Steelers/Pats Game Thread

But yet they say Ben is better then Romo

Yah you can bet your rear that Romo would have got analyzed to death with that throw. But of course Ben has the hardware, so he will get a little verbal slap or two and thats it.

I mean that was such a terrible throw, the Safety was full on sprinting to the left by the time here threw that pass. That is a pass you make down two scores under two minutes, not with about 10 minutes.

Yea that was an awful awful throw and I'm sure on Pittsburg radio tomorrow he will be blasted for it

Steelers didnt convert. That has been their MO for several years. The Pats were the better team

 

[T-RO]

So the headset issues for PIT and the simulated snap count that pushed them back 5 yds are questions that need answered.

Yup. Only there isn't much to asked that we don't already know.

The Patriots are serial cheaters and the league protects them from the consequences. Again and again and again.

There's been a continual pattern of opposing teams not having functional headsets in Foxborough. And improperly inflated balls. And having their plays memorized by Belicheat's bunch through illegal videotaping.

Tomlin has every right to go ballistic, but it's just business as usual from the National Fraudulent League.

Yeah its funny how everyone else's backup rbs are so awesome but somehow our stable of runners all stink

I agree it certainly feels that way regardless of who is running the football Sunday night against the Giants will be successful be it Randle, McFadden, Michael, or even Dunbar, it's getting really tiresome about how the running game will "struggle" without Murray mark it down the Cowboys will run the ball and be very effective doing it.

Ya but it's funny Ben's recievers won MVP every time. ......not him

I totally agree with you, plus he stared down his reciever from the snap. Terrible read, terrible play, terrible pass.

Steelers don't look like a contenter and damn sure not better then the Cowboys

Their offense will be pretty fun to watch (especially if you are a fantasy guy). But with the division as tough as it is, the D will be their undoing. You can also argue their Special teams as well lol

 

[Craig]

As far as the be. Romo discussion, i dont think there is a huge difference. Ill take either one. Steelers are awful this year though.

Agreed. Regardless of the Steelers crappy defense they had plenty of opportunities to score. They were terrible near the goal line.

 

[DallasEast]

No? 6 more points and Pit can go for 2 to tie.

Ya it would. Only need a two point conversion with td had he made both of them. Game would have been tied

Both of you are 100% correct. I'm literal by nature. The thing I look at is how failed execution of actual events during games affects final scores. Sometimes I do not consider what if variables like a two-point try, which would have been logically attempted if both Scobee kicks had gone through the uprights. Of course, the conversion attempt, that was never attempted during the game, could have succeeded or failed. So, the results could have been either a tie, as correctly pointed out by both of you, to possibly force overtime, or similar defeat if the conversion attempt had failed. The score would have been closer though. Scobee might have then thought he had done everything he could have to win the game unlike what actually happened, namely the two misses.

Side note: I also don't play fantasy football. The what ifs drive me nuts.

 

[khiladi]

Patriots offense, like Denver, is predicated on running picks, especially off the snap. You need good man corners to defend it without being allowed that much contact. It's just the way the league is now in how it caters to offense. WRs can do what they want the very first yard of the snap EVEN IF THE BALL IS IN THE AIR.

That being said, there is a lot of subjectivity around picking after the one yard line, which gives referees an excuse to fall back on as far if they want to spin advantage towards one team.

 

[Longboysfan]

Brady is a smug cheat.

 

[MRV52]

The CheatRIots defense is horrible and against a good offense and decent defensive team the cheatriots will have their hands full. I really think we will knock them off when we play them. We can run the ball down there throat and shred that secondary that has holes. Brady had all day to throw against that horrible Pittsburgh defense, It will be different when he plays us.

The important thing is that the steelers lost!!!! Every loss for the steelers is great !!!

Steelers did go for two in the game and got it. Tomlin is around 74 percent conversion rate when going for two which is best in the league. It's highly possible they make it.

But if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their *** when they jumped

That was the steelers fault !!!!! The steelers are filled with too much hot gas !!!

 

[dallasdave]

Cheaters vs Cheaters. Can there please be a tie?

I have to say Gronk is one of the best TE's of all time. He really made my day kicking the hated steelers butts all over the field.
