    If we are going to win the division and go anywhere in the playoff's, it will all depend on how well Ben plays. Bad Ben has shown up too many times in the past five years for my liking.

    Ben seems to have mental breakdowns at times and we've seen some of them in times past prove to be fatal in big, late season or post season games. I know this is probably not unequivocally true, but it seems to me that Brady, even in defeat, doesn't throw the stupid picks that cost his team points or leads to points for the other team. I know he had the bad pick in the endzone last night but he also threw for over 400 yards and 3 TDs so those are an anomaly for Brady. I just hope he gets over his bad case of brain flatulence before it ends up costing us big time at a crucial spot.

    Last night I watched NE make the same stupid plays/penalties we do and as you mentioned Bradys pick. And for ****s and giggles, I went and peaked at their board, and sure enough, youd think you were on our message board. They even have their own Real Steel :lolol:

    The only difference is NE managed to pull that game out but as people like to complain about here, it was much closer than it should have been.

    No team is perfect but yes, Ben needs to be on his game and make as few as mistakes as possible, along with the rest of the team.

    Ben's passer rating was 37.6 on Sunday and you have to go back 10 years to see a passer rating for Brady that low. In Ben's defense though, this was his worst passer rating in 10 years as well. He had two sub 40 passer ratings in 2006 the year Brady had his. Must have been something in the water that year, lol.

    Let's chalk it up to a bad game and make our run. Positive vibes from here on out (or at least until something bad happens)! :lolol:

    You know as well as I do, those two mistakes by their special teams made that game close, it had nothing to do with mistakes by brady or their offense, when they needed points brady got em 7 with a beautiful play to hogan when brady froze weddle with his eyes and popped a big one when they needed it and thats how the great QBs win games in crunch time, and the rats offense stunk the place up but we will make them look great when they play us, hope not but we cringe when we play them and ben falls apart....

    We keep trying to run against them and the patient style will not work against them ....This puts us in obvious passing downs with long yardage that won't work either ...We need to use the quick passing game as the running game, we need to pass on early downs,force them to guard Bell 1 on 1 ,this is the recipe we need ,but it seems we always try and line up and play smash mouth , but patient style doesn't work against them.....

    I blame Ben's road struggles on Tomlin for the simple fact of the matter that blaming Tomlin solves everything. :roflmao:

    Yes, I do know that but why do they get a pass for poor ST play but not us? And Brady threw a costly interception in the end zone when he should have thrown it away while under pressure, a TD there and the game isn't close, so I don't know how you make that claim that his mistake had nothing to do with it being close.

    NE makes less of those mistakes, evident by their consistent 12 win seasons, but that doesn't change some awful football played by them yesterday. All fans complain about the same exact :poopy: because all teams make the same exact mistakes. Some just make them more/less than others.

    I'm a little worried about Ben, O line protected him the best they ever did vs Bills, and he stunk to high heaven.

    Do you think Ben would've did as well with that many starters missing from the offense?

    That's the problem.....when we make mistakes more than others it seems to really set us back and unfortunately most games we don't recover from the early mistakes especially the ones that bog down our O. Combine that with the " obvious ""fact that we have to beat the refs as well every week and they don't .....by the way the" Real Steel" on the pats board does he go by the name Real Cheater"......

    Want a team that makes mistakes and can't recover from them? Look at the Browns.

    Who? Gronk? Who else was missing from the offense? And of course Ben could and he has. Ben has had great games with no line in frot of him for years. But the gist of my post has nothing to do with this.

    Thats because we make more of them.

    I'm not sure who it was. I rarely ever do that but I wanted to test a theory and I was right, melt down.

    I didn't catch the posters name, only that he wrote something idiotic and someone responded, please stop posting. :lolol:
