"Steelers record of 11-2 is overrated"

Nice trolling.

 

I agree with most of your points, however this one I might be a little more optimistic about. It seems like a lot of our sacks and pressure are coming from the interior of our DL this year thanks to Cam. Interior pressure has always been Brady’s weakness. If we can bring it early and often we have a chance.

 

If we win landry jones and backups will probably play our last two games, even if we lose we will rest the team in cleveland.........

 

Landry Jones can beat the Browns. You heard it here first.

 

Coaches and players know what they have to do to win this game, problem is can they do it??

Brady has a losing record in Miami and Denver. He seems to suck in those places. So using the "they lost" in Miami means nothing.

Steelers have to pressure Brady all game and knock him out. If they do that, Steelers win. That's all that matters. Steelers do not have the talent to stop back up QBs and Joe Flacco. If Brady does his quick pass thing, and doesn't get pressured, he will drop 40 points which means the Steelers will have problems because Belichick will let Bell run and stop AB so the Steelers can't go down the field fast.

I'm just a guy on the coach watching football.

 

Sounds about right

 

We're a SB caliber team. As long as Ben's playing we are a SB favorite. I didn't come into this season with any specific regular season win/loss record in mind. I came into this season thinking we better be winning playoff games. If we went 16-0 or 10-6 ...and don't win a playoff game the season is a failure IMO. We need to get into the big dance. Talent wise were' the best team in the AFC - period.

 

I doubt Roethlisberger and the offense will be able to keep up with the Patriots. Steelers offense will try to do too much too quick and turn the ball over. The Patriots D... no matter how bad they look on paper or how many good players they have on IR, seem to always disrupt the Steelers offense and cause too many 3 and outs. This is the usual recipe for disaster in Patriots vs. Steelers matchups.

This...have seen it happen too many times over the years. Steelers lack the discipline to hang with the Patriots. I see no reason for that to suddenly change.

 

I agree with some of your comments, but it's challenging to beat a team that doesn't make too many mistakes. There are only 3 things that they can do this Sunday:

1. Pass Rush/Blitzing
2. Our offense and defense needs to play like they did in the 4th quarter against the Ravens.
3. Another comeback win is possible, but would it be as easy against the Patriots?

Overall, this game will show us if we can compete against the stiff competition in the NFL. So far at 11-2, I think if the defense has a good night, then we just might win this Sunday.

 

Listen guys and gals. We all know the secret to beating the Pats. Have them wear Bengal jerseys.. lol

 

If Brady is the GOAT Belincheat could be the GOAT coach. Who do you think will have a better game plan, him or Tomlin. Belincheat gets the most out of his players. One goes down another steps in to take his place and they don't miss a lick. I can't name any player on the Patriots defense and besides Brady and Gronk, know only a few on offense. Do you think Belincheat would put up with Mat Bryant's nonsense? Butler stands on the sidelines with that stupid look on his face, wondering what to do. Our defense will get raped. Its up to Ben to outscore Brady plain and simple. No interceptions, fumbles or drive killing holding penalties and we have a chance.

 

Bottom line if Pittsburgh can work the red zone in their favor as to scoring (6) each visit they win. Historically Belichick has snuffed that scenario. Tomlin best come up with a game plan to finally kick the monkey's ass that rides them shoulders.

 

With Shazier and Haden... maybe. Without them we'll have to score a lot because the Pats won't punt more than twice.

 

To me, this game has more implications can just grabbing the top seed (which is obviously very viable and important). But, this game is more about proving to the team that they can indeed beat the Pats.

I can sure as hell tell you that I doubt anyone in the NFL wants to face a completely confident and motivated Steelers team -- that'll happen if we win.

 

After Brady runs our defense 80 yards to the end zone. Ben needs to do the same.. Move the chains and get the first downs. Our defense will die if Ben is throwing 50 yard incomplete passes on 3rd and 1... Keep Brady on the bench.. Keep our defense fresh... and ready for their next 80 yard drive to the end zone.
We need to score last and win.

 

I agree. Only hope we have is home field advantage and crowd is so loud Brady can't hear and our DL, LBs gets a jump and their OL get's a lot of false starts and put them in long distance 3rd downs.

 

If I'm an NFL team no way am I letting Savage back on the field with how that twitching looked. They want to preach safety then be safe and keep the guy that suffered some sort of episode off the field.

 

Wow, I'm not at all surprised by some of the "fans" around these boards who are already counting a loss tomorrow. I honestly hope they stay away from the forums and keep their negativity somewhere else.

This year's team is very different than we've seen the past few years. It's got heart and doesn't quit. Thinking about that Ravens game. In the past few years, losing a 14 and then going down 31-20 in the 3rd would have been enough to pack it in, but this team just doesn't quit.

 

Actually, he/she seemed like they fit right in here?

 

Send that o the Steelers front office, I'm sure they do not know that information.
