We don't have the talent to play them man to man, and we NEED that talent if we want to beat them. That team won, and that's that. Now on to the draft.

Well lets hope they land a good CB & LB'er in this draft because we need them. Also lets hope Senquez Golson can finally make it onto the field.
 
Steelers need another CB. A big physical one
 
I know it's not his fault but the third year in a row Bell finishes the season on the sidelines. I just don't know what to say.
 
We need at least 2-3 corners. Gay is getting old and Cockrell isn't good enough. I am cutting Burns some slack as he is a rookie

Brandon Wilson out of UH....5'11" 200#s

has scored on kick returns, interceptions, and as a RB he scored both rushing and receiving TDs, plus a 109 yard missed field goal return for 6 against OK.....
 
Did anyone else watch Jarvis Jones in at the end with fresh legs and still run around like a chicken with his head cut off?
Dude needs to go.....as fast as we drafted him.

He ain't coming back.
 
OK enough with the corners. The secondary is 100 times better. You have no choice but to take the best edge rusher available. And if there is a good one available 10 spots ahead, mortgage the future to get him.

200+ lbs is a big one if he can throw around his weight well. Something needs to give
 
We don't have the corners to play man on Hogan and Edlemann? Man...that's a sad statement. How is it that...even with Brown, when we lost Bryant, and we lost DHB, and we lost Coates the sky was falling cause we didn't have a receiver to "spread the field" yet the Pat had like 10 plays of more than 20 years with freaking Edlemann and F'ing HOGAN.

Sad part is...with the exception of DBs and QB (and QB is a pretty tight race) we have more talent, position-for-position, yet we get embarrassed.
 
We don't need better players. We need better coaches. Give Belicheat our team and he would have beaten Brady and the Pats. We will never be to another Super Bowl with Tomlin as coach - chisel that in stone. Might as well trade our best players so the next coach has needed draft picks.

Be nice to see us try to play man to man. Looking at it on paper would tell me they cant cover us man to man.
 
But, what would make this team win a game like today? A close loss, I guess you can magnify a specific area, but today? Suppose they had a few better games defensively/offensively, and finished 12-4? What did we as fans see today that gives promise for next year? Not being negative, just looking and I see a lot of good young talent, but when faced w/a team very well coached, it doesn't seem to matter. I am frustrated, yet blessed to follow a team that has a great tradition, but also a team that (I would hope) wants more than what was on display today. I am saying that NE doesn't have that much more on the field, but they do on the sidelines. Apparent today. I had faith it would change, I was wrong.
 
It appears we don't have the talent to even try to play man to man. Did we even try to play any man? It seemed like we played zone and brought no pressure. Is that how it works?

he is a good tackler....hits hard

he was hurt a bit last season missed three games..but still had good stats

Pretty hard to argue at least the obvious parts of that. We were out-coached in several areas and I don't think it is all on Tomlin. The defensive strategy was never in sync with what the Pats were doing and the offense called some good plays but still cant seem to call up enough yardage when it's tough going.

Well, that's what it seemed like to me. And I'm frankly shocked that the team that BARELY beat the Texans took us the way they did, it is what it is, and we are where we are.

not all Tomlin as Haley and Butler deserve big F grades.

That being said he signed off on ****, and constantly has teams that are viewed as under-performing.

If your team struggles on the road and you don't win enough to have home field advantage

something somewhere needs to change............
 
These coaches need to grow a set of balls when they play the Patriots. Cushions and soft zone with no blitzing is a complete turtle job. Not doing a simple QB sneak at the one foot line was the weakest sauce I've seen all year....unacceptable.
