Week 1 Steelers at Patriots

I figured it was another Steelers fan with a Patriots obsession.

 

Used the collective and possessive pronouns in the responses to much to be an obsessed Steelers fan. We're naught but simple pirates here and Yinzers to boot.

 

What's a pronoun?

 

In todays practice they actually were rotating hilton and Kelly in and out.

 

I am perhaps one of the few fans that think we can beat the Pats and it does not even have to be a perfect game. If the Dline can apply the pressure that I think they can we can keep Brady rattled. He does not need a lot of time to dink and dunk. Play man and no freakin zone and match up with the right personnel and we win. Play zone and be prepared to die..

 

That is what I took away from Kelly's interview that "Mike" was getting the majority of reps with the first team at FS.

Is Hilton going to be Week 1's starting FS?

Last year; I could never figure out why Hilton didn't get s shot at the starting CB position with how bad everyone else was playing when Burns imploded.

 

OK WE'LL GO THRU THE ABC'S

SONY MICHEL & WATCH OUT FOR PATS RUN GAME

Some basics:
Tom 4 or 5 games a year sucks, sometimes the team pulls him out. In a SB, Tom generally has to warm up.
Tom generally sucks the first game, 4th, and around 12, to 14th.

Josh McDaniels, makes some nice calls and then is a dumb ass and the world is seeing what he doesn't. Example. Much of the Pariots problems against Atlanta is Tom starting slow and dumb ass McDaniels keeps throwing deep balls versus runs, Or running up the middle 2 or 3 downs on 6 consecutive series. Pats need 2 yards and McDaniels the dumb ass, has Brady throwing deep balls when he can't even throw a decent 7 yd pass. AFTER halftime, but not before, I figure Billy B tells McDaniels to smarten up and change the game plan for Brady is playing like ****. But get Tommy warmed up and he's light's out.

Brady deep in his own zone is great for tip balls or a pass into the defenses linebackers hands. OR Tommy is off, his receiver or running back goes for the ball and tips the ball into a linebackers hands.

So as mentioned by your fellow fan, Pats if smart and have a rush coming thru their new offensive line, Tom best start passing to the running backs for a 2 second toss, or hand it off. We all know Tom will do a receiver swing around for they have been doing that play for years nearly twice every game including the playoffs.

However, as good as Sony is, Harris may be better or as good and a better receiver so I'm hoping Harris gets a good amount of carries too.

I've been a member of several Steeler Boards since Ben was drafted. Like Ben but not the Steelers, Yet during Bradshaw days I was a Steelers fan for no-one was a Boston Patriots fan. I also did a lot of traveling thru Penns , Gettysburg many times and would chat with many Steeler fans in an eatery in ben's early days and back with Cordell Stewart days.

I probably watch more Steeler and Greenbay games than Steeler and Greenbay fans. Rogers so overrated tho, can run and throw Hail Marys but it is what it is. Love Ben. Ben plays football and he sure must be happy that at least AB is the F out. And AB just can't shut up in Raider land.

 

My feelings is Brady doesn't need to be rattled this time a year. He is good only 1 of 4 games. My concern is the offensive line, McDaniels being a dumb ass when Brady is having a bad game and keep throwing deep balls when Tom can hardly even hand a ball off. Then Goskowski has sucked since he started missing his kicks in every Superbowl Good enough to keep but not much more. For Steelers to win a turnover and two missed kicks can do it. Pats played like crap first game after last banner and it was because Brady suc-s for no reason some games but with the O line, Steelers have a potential opportunity to rattle Tommy into many bad plays. Personally if Pats don't turn it over and at least one missed kick i like their chances for The secondary has been great all pre season and MOST seasons the Pats defense is the worst in the league for the first 5 or 6 games. Pats finally have a defense that makes good tackles. That didn't happen last Steelers game, but a few were out. I'll be there and it will be lots of fun. Not much more fun than Steelers except smoking' the colts or Raven's.

 

Go back to Boston cheater

 

Thomas with hamstring trouble. Lacrosse the te is injured too both may play.

 

yeah, I'm gonna have to call bull**** on that one...

 

No kidding. Steelers fans don’t miss Steelers games. And we also tend to rewatch.

 

Here is me at a Buffalo Wild Wings surrounded by 50 tvs showing every football game on Sunday and one in front of me showing the Steelers.

 

yeah, you're right there. Steeler fans have been passionate for decades. I don't re watch but have seen most Steeler games and preseason games since 72.
Been pretty consistent. Cordell period was lacking a QB but bet the overall record is right up there

 

Not so, I have liked our chances from the get go. Ravens and Giants know how to beat Pats
Be more physical, attack all the time. Get ready for the dink and dunk and be able to tackle.

 

A win that the rules took away.

 

While that is accurate, it's really a win that Al Riveron took away. He's the one who made the call to overturn it even though there was not indisputable visual evidence that it was an incomplete pass. Riveron clearly forgot that part of the rule in 2017 and it led to multiple overturned calls that shouldn't have happened.

 

I would assume based on what I have heard that Kelly would be starting and Mike would sub on different packages. I agree that Burns should not have even been on the field.

 

This team with many new parts in different places on both sides of the ball is going to be hard for hoodie to get a game plan for.

 

On offense his plan will be what he always does which is take away what he believes are your best two offensive weapons and make you beat them with the rest. First they will double JuJu. Second will be??? TE? RB?

 

Exactly. Many question marks for hoodie in this one.

 

QB first, no?
