Yeah, not sure if they got desperate because of the yards to gain or what, but damn just have faith in your offense. If you don't get it, fine, but don't be dumb and put yourself in worse FP.

There was no need to get desperate. It was 1st down and they were literally averaging over 10 yards per play up until that point.

And of course they just miss the FG. All thanks to that drive wrecking, idiotic play call.

It was a 1st and 10.

Absolutely no excuse to call that play there.

I agree. Just calling it how I saw it. Why else would they panic and call a double pass on 1st and like 18?

I agree.

Did my post come off as agreeing with the playcall? If so, not sure how.

 

[1bigfan13]

Yup.

I'll never understand why teams call dumb shit like that when they are moving the ball with ease.

Steelers ruined their own drive.

Todd Haley.

Need I say more.

 

[1bigfan13]

I agree.

You do come off as a Steelers apologist.

I will fucking kill you and your entire family!

 

[Texas Ace]

I agree.

I didn't think you agreed with the call, but you suggested that they may have gotten desperate because of the distance, but that doesn't apply because it was a 1st and 10.

Oh, I thought it was after the penalty. Didn't realize it was 1st and 10.

Everyone keeps talking about Brady and the Patriots playing with a chip on their shoulder and going on a 2007 type run. I don't see that happening at all.

First of all their division will be better. The Dolphins are probably a 10 win team and the Bills can probably put up close to 8 wins.

Second, that 2007 Pats team had more talent across the board.

That's what happens when you're already two PBR 6 packs in.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Deangelo Williams running surprisingly well.

The Patriots defense isn't very talented. Their offense is basically 2 guys. I just don't see it. They will make the playoffs because of Brady, but as a team they aren't that talented.

Al Michaels reporting that they just got word that the Steeler's coaches headsets are malfunctioning. They are picking up the Pats radio broadcast.

Shocking I tell you.

Other than Gronk they have no one on offense who scares you.

The big play threat isn't their like it was 8 years ago. It's going to be a lot of dinking and dunking. Which they're great at, of course. But I think it's pretty obvious that the more plays you have to run to score the greater the odds of you making a mistake.

It's like the boy who cried wolf. Now anything goes wrong like that in the Patriots favor and I'm going to automatically assume they are cheating.

I have had 3 beers, thank you very much.

Yeah I heard that. I kind of thought he was half-joking.

Their offense is solid. Their defense, not so much. Especially without Wilfork.

Unreal. After everything, still just going to give the league the middle finger.
