I guess you haven't watched the Pats this preseason. Brady doesn't look good at all. He looks like he did to start last season. You know before his season mysteriously turned around in October.

 

the way this defense is playing We will make any 3rd string QB look like an all pro

 

Well that is true but hopefully they just aren't showing a lot of what they are going to do. Getting Timmons, Tuitt, and Mitchell healthy will go a long way.

 

i'd opt for timmons first.

 

nobody has faith here lol. 4 games in the season we look this bad, THEN say "the sky is falling". Because it will be

 

It sounds like the judge is going to rule completely one way or another. So either he gets 4 games or none. Right now I would bet none, as much as that would suck!!!

 

Well I rather let Brady play. Either way we will get smoked by either qb, I rather there be a chance our D can rattle him up, even though unlikely. It would be embarrassing to read Jimmy lights up Steelers 45-38. lol

 

I still have faith ,but that faith is in the Offense , we will need to play from ahead and get Teams away from the quick passing game as much as we can . We will also need to be able to milk a clock and pound out long drives to close out games .

 

I'll be honest, playing against us is an insignificant point for me.

The guy cheated. He should be penalised. That's the bottom line. If he gets off, it will be on technicalities of process, not a clear-cut case that he didn't cheat.

For me, that fact shouldn't get in the way of any Steeler-specific bravado. One game is insignificant next to the seriousness of what a pro-Brady verdict would do to the integrity of the NFL.

 

agreed. Kinda how cowboys did it last year, just milk as much as you can on offense, makes your D look better. Thing is our D might actually be worse, and our O line isn't as good as theirs.

I would insert Holliman in there. Sure, he doesn't tackle but his main focus would be ballhawk. Just tell all the defensive players to go for the strip, D line to keep putting hands up for the tip, and corners to eye the ball. Our D will get scorched but at least increase odds for getting the ball back.

 

Brady will be playing write it down We will get slaughtered . No Bell No Bryant too much to overcome

 

Yep why keep playing soft and just let Teams march up and down the field . As you stated be aggressive and look for turnovers. With the level of talent the D has that is the best approach. The problem is I don't think the staff thinks the skill level is that bad. Our DB'S are a joke really only 1 of them should play and that's Gay he should be the dime CB , which means we need at least 5 more better than him...

 

I think the Offense will be fine as I stated. Bell nor Bryant could help the play of our Defense . We still have a lot of fire power Williams is a good RB ,AB,Wheaton,Coates, Miller we have enough on that side of the ball.

 

Have you already got your post-game thread drafted?

 

Regardless, at least we all know how it's gonna start....

 

I'm OK with Brady playing and I think that is the way it will go. After watching the pre season games and considering the players not available for the game, I decided no matter who plays QB for them I am placing a good size bet on New England and giving the Steelers the points. Depending on the over/under I might bet the over too.

 

He will be suspended the 4 games,, i have no doubt abt it

 

A loss week 1 means nothing if the Steelers win the Superbowl

 

This is an honest question. Have ANY of Real Steel's predictions EVER came true? I mean literally just one.

 

I agree. I think there's no way they reverse it.

 

Look at his avatar and his user name. That should answer the question.
Huge fail.

 

Well, he expresses sentiments of meaninglessness in order to make a broader point, which by definition gives the meaninglessness meaning. So given all of his predictions are paradoxes, he's off to a bad start.
