Steelers vs *Pats - AFC Championship Game Thread

[wig]

And THIS is why you don't run Bell 30 times a ******* game just cause you can. He WILL wear out.

**** it we win this game as it goes right now.. tom is throwing a pick...

That would be a first...literally.

If we continue the 3 man rush, this game is over. Houston pressured up the middle and created a ton of problems, we have not blitzed up the middle once and Harrison has been in coverage more than he's rushed the passer. It's the same ******* thing every time Brady just steps up into a clean pocket, one of their ******* WR's runs 10 yards down field and turns around and makes a simple catch, the only reason we are in this game is that O has possessed the ball si long

We blitzed up the middle on Brady's first touchdown pass to Hogan.

5 points left on the field....you cannot do that in NE. I know they would never expect a QB sneak and that is exactly why you run it. I'm gonna freak if they D still plays with cushions and zone in the second half.

 

[scstillerfan]

Thank God for Ben in this game. He is the primary reason the Steelers are still in it.

 

[Troglodyte]

Idiots started saying it after the Pats 1st TD for Christ sake.

Brady is 19/24 for 222. Something will need to drastically change.

 

[slashsteel]

I didn't say the game is over, but if we keep rushing 3 guys it might as well be.

not you it was a few other sky is falling asshats

 

[Stainless]

How many times have we hit Brady. I remember one.

Exactly, and this is why you don't shut the passing game down for long periods of time

Tomlin did it to Willie Parker, doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[Cras108er]

Gotta do something to get pressure on Brady. They do that, and I think we're in this. If they don't...

Strip sack fumble TD was my pre game prediction but we haven't got enough pressure.

Yeah, I agree. Seems when we get some pressure, we make things happen. When we don't, well, Hogan runs wide open for TD's.

 

[warriors42]

So far this **** storm is on our receivers and Butler. Ben really picked up his game.

 

[Coryea]

This is honestly what I don't get, we tried to rush 3 and cover and it's obviously not working, yet we continue to try it

They absolutely need to get some hard hits on Brady and to do that, they have to blitz. Leave him clean, and game is over.

 

[str8liner]

Offense needs to come right out in this first possession of the second have and kick a field goal.........

 

[SteveA]

Unless it's torn get a shot in that ***** and roll

Really disappointing.....I get it that it is a groin. But at least try to get back out there. there is no tomorrow

 

[Chicoman]

If you go back and watch the play Bell got hurt on a cheats LBrt comes from back side......Maybe he was trying to knock ball out but it looked like he threw a punch and it hit Bell near the groin and his left leg proceeds to go out on him. That's Bush league IMO. The Bellicheat way!

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I think they need to run another 15-20 commercials here....can't have enough commercials.

Or, why you don't just line up and run it in the red zone. Have to have something else there to keep the defense honest. Those D-Will runs never stood a chance.

So far the scheme on D isn't cutting it.

It never has, that's why we've only beated Br*dy twice in 17 years.

And on O they need to stop with the drops....

Seriously.

 

[Sarge]

We blitzed up the middle on Brady's first touchdown pass to Hogan.

Blitz didn't come close to getting home.

 

[Slash#10]

As fans we are hoping that Steelers can overcome 8 pt. Pats lead this second half, when they've dropped TDS and couldn't score from 1st and goal! Enjoy your adult beverages your gonna need'em! And the secondary is doing a swell job containing Brady passing game.

If it's not working, keep doing it.
