This is the week...

[BSmack]

... that the Steelers get exposed big time. I hope I'm wrong, but I've watched 5 weeks of the Steelers putting in half rate work against a collection of chumps and one decent team, which they lost to. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it. The best chance the Steelers have is to break Brady's leg. In fact, it's the only chance they have.

Look for Antonio Brown to score twice against that cheese Pat D. :wink:

He hasn't scored a TD all year. And that includes games against the Titans, Jags, Texans and Colts. If anybody on the Steelers scores on a reception, it will be Ward, Wallace or Miller. Your dreams of JFFL bargain hunting will die a horrible death.

But you have to love the persistance.

Unless the Steelers think about switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 for this game, I look for NE to score their usual 28-35 pts against this shit defense. I don't know how many times they're going to trot out the same tired scheme on defense, but they really need to adjust their thinking based upon the last 7 years worth of beatdowns (from Brady.) All that said, I could totally see Pitt winning 38-34 as well. I am not sold on NE's D... regardless of how well they've done the last 2 games (against two shitty QBs.)

"Brown received a team-high nine targets, and made a number of nice catches, including a ridiculous one-handed grab on the sidelines at one point. Hines Ward had to leave the game with an undisclosed injury, although Brown was already having a strong game before Ward exited." just sayin

Not sure I'd classify Romo as shitty. I thought the Pats did a great job defensively, exposing a smaller offensive line with a great interior push in Romo's direction. Wolfork will have that affect on small/first year starting centers.

If there's another QB who is less clutch than this loser, by all means, please share his name. To paraphrase an old Chris Berman saying, no one circles the drain like Tony Romo.

[BSmack]

I think you have to go back to the Joe Ferguson era Bills of the early 80s to find a QB who has done less when surrounded by so much talent.

The problem with the Cowsboys is they have two HC's, and you know the ole' saying, when you have two, you really have none.

Flacco at least as gotten to a conference championship game. Ferguson was a 1st round punching bag. Just like Romo.

[poptart]

W. Marshall meets Joe Ferguson.








:twisted:

[BSmack]

I see my strategy of luring the Pats into a sense of complacency worked.

The Steelers have no chance against the Ravens. None at all.

Looks like Pittsburg watched NE's playoffs debacle against teh Jest last year and copy/pasted the gameplan. The way to stop NE is by being physical with their receivers off the line. It's not like any one of them can beat you deep... Saw a whole lot of 9 and 10 men on the line of scrimmage from Pitt.

I forgot...how many playoff games did Kyle Boller win?

Good win for the Squealers.

Absolutely spot on. But also, on offense, they were smart and didn't try to play the 3 yards and a cloud of dust strategy against a defense that was ripe for the picking with short and medium routes. It was a great plan on both sides of the ball. I just can't believe this is the first time I've seen them try it all game long.
