Game Thread: Steelers v. Patriots week 1.

How was Heyward and Tuitt not bigger factors in this game?

 

Yea i heard that too,, made me laugh

 

So reading ESPN. The Pats do not have to shut their headsets down even though ours not working.

Wow. Why do the Cheatriots get to handle anything.

They cheat at everything they do!

 

I am thinking for the same old reasons in stead of attacking those three and ripping holes in the middle, they used the 3-4 scheme the way they always have

 

I don't think so. I watched Heyward get handled alot tonight

 

Wow i can't believe they called hands to the face when the other guy was coming down and his helmet fell off. BS call

 

If DHB knew that the green stuff was where he's supposed to keep his feet it probably would have been. Garbage td's make me so mad I wish they wouldn't even count on the stat sheet.

 

was he trying to crash inside or outside? You have three rookies at eh center of your line you make them chose who to block. I thought they were still trying to allow the LB's to get clean looks and make plays. Undrafted rookie center I'd had Big Mac in there right over him and crash him into the RG, have Tuitt crash into the LG and then bring Shazier right up the gut.

 

Don't forget the NE defense trying to mimic snap calls... Cheaters!

 

Need the win next week bad. If we lose then panic

 

Did Boykin play?

 

The fact that they

That line looks great compared to what we did aginst gronk. Of course with no one covering him there is no one to blame

 

Didnt see him but was distracted by directv outage for first half. Was surprised to see Golden so much

 

not gona be fun at wrk tmrw, its gona be kinda expensive too...lol

 

Let's see here:
Ben had 351 yards, Brady had 288
Williams rushed for 127 yards, Lewis had 69
We made them punt 4 times (50%), they made us punt 2 times
Time of Possession 32.05 Steelers, 27:55 Pats

We were 2/4 of FGA
We were 1/2 in goal to go, they were 3/3

Overall our defense while looking crappy did stop them 50% of the time (I am not counting the recovered on side kick with no time left a possession). I thought if our offense could have started out with a TD on that opening drive it would have really changed things, instead we stall go backwards then miss a FG and give them good field position.

Our offense needs to score TDs. Missing 2 FGs and having an INT (and a toe on the chalk) killed our chances. Also settling for a FG when they gave us a new set of downs at the 1 on a penalty hurt. And on the one play - Spaeth was wide open to the right side.

In today's league you need to outscore the better teams. Also we need to get a lead in a game.

Oh, and the absolutely piss poor clock management - basically played for a FG at the end of the first have and blew any chance at the end of the game by mismanaging the clock. Only the Eagles (under Reid) compared as poorly in this aspect of the game.

But how do you not account for Gronk so many times? What is the plan there?

 

Yeah, WTF... where was Boykin? Sure could have used him....

 

Don't get too drunk guys... We can get better

 

haha I'm from Lima, also where Roethlisberger was born

 

That's easy! He was the one running back and forth between coaches with the messages!

 

NICE!! I missed this some how.

 

boykin he run
