I agree wicked but arians needs to adjust his playcalling to his playing style...ben's always does what he does...I would have a couple ppl in checkdown every time

Useless as tits on a boar.

I agree. This game is not on Ben. It is totally on the coaching on BOTH SIDES of the ball. Did you see Brady flake out totally with an all out blitz? They did it on one play. One freakin' play. I was so sick of seeing Harrison dropping back in coverage when he should be after Brady every time. And Troy is guessing wrong on almost every play these days. What's up with that? Ben passes for 387 yards and his WRs drop 2 td passes and we lose by 13 points. That pick six sucked but that did not lose the game. Bad coaching did.

but to be honnest I dont use excuses but come on.....

Starks,Kemo,Colon are injured from our OL and Smith and Keisel from our DL.

not to say Ward,Timmons who missed significant time....we need to make some changes for next year that is a no-brainer but we have to ask ourselves,do we really have a team that can win it all right now ? The answer is no.Are we going to fight anyway ? Hell yeah

Good teams win with backups... Patriots only had 3 starters on defense... and look what they did, and I think they are missing 2 guys on the offensive line and 2 backup running backs.

Dolphins in 1973 lost starters and backups went out there and played and they won the superbowl. Colts are 6-3 without like 15 starters. Raiders on fire with 3 different quarterbacks and I could name more from the past.

I think that if you watch the tape you will see that he does. Look, I don't like some of Arians' garbage play calling either but Ben has to do his part too. At the very least get rid of the ball and stop taking 10 yards losses to sacks. The O-line is the major issue right now. They can't run block or pass block worth a crap anymore. The offense is letting the D out to dry so many times with these three and outs. I'm not giving a free pass to the D either. Their secondary is atrocious and is getting exposed badly every week. The pass rush isn't what it once was and the QBs are getting time to pick apart the secondary. There needs to be problems fixed on both sides of the ball and in a hurry.

Quit being the friggin"quit whining" police when this is an obvious problem with our team!!! I dont think your a true fan if you are gonna say that shit....this is a problem...you are clueless with no football common sense if you dont see this!!! I have faith in this team but we are only as good as our preparation!!!

now i could say something harsh..like "I guess you were that 2 yr old I was talkin' too," but I won't. That would be rude (see how I did that). I quite know the issues this team is dealing with. I have faith that we will overcome. We didn't win six rings for being a bunch of retards. I waited my entire life for one ring, and dammit, I got blessed with two. I will bitch and complain about certain issues, as all fans do, in the coming days. But I have perspective about these things. I will add it up to you are overly excited, and have drank a bit too much, and thats ok. I do, have, and am, doing the same thing. But please don't pull out the "true fan" card. It just makes you look foolish.

Everything will be ok people. Seriously. Even if they don't make the playoffs (which I know they will)..it'll be ok.

Time to move on to the Raiders.

much love to you too shit happens in a day. I lost my favorite goat and a bottle of Quervo. you'll have that. we lose to the ****ng raiders though, I might burn down a village or 13.

[chizzler]

Why must we give recievers and TE's 8-10 yards breathing room all the time. I watch a lot of football and no other team does this as much as we do. I think we're conceding yardage by playing that way all the time. What ever happened to bumping a guy at the line. 5 yards to hit and slow them. I would think it would slow the recievers down a bit to help in coverage. Teams that do this are more successful in my opinion. Is Smith that valuable?

Sorry, but the only time I am ashamed to be a Steelers fan is when they play New England. I have never seen a team bow down in submission the way they do with the Pats. It's just embarrassing and I refuse to watch. It's not being negative or a sore loser, it really is that bad.

I lost my plasma last night and had to watch that damn debacle on a little screen. Which is good because had I watched it on the big TV I might have destroyed it and then I'd be out a plasma. Or worse, I'd have had to explain why the big TV was destroyed to my better half.

You don't recall our last visit (08) to New England?



I have a feeling the way bellicheat is that last night might have been some payback.
