Brady gets rid of the ball hellishly quick.. you have to put him on his%%$!, i don't understand how the great **** lebeau couldn't get even a single sack on him.. that's just poor scheming.
Steelers offense really craps the bed after crossing the 50... if they were able to convert at a higher rate on opponents side of the field, they'd have a juggernaut of an offense... too bad.
Pats defense showed a lot of energy for a team coming off a short week/close game. Perhaps not as old as people talk?
CBS nut hugs the hell out of the Pats entire roster... and again, I haven't heard anybody on here commenting about Les Moonves (CEO of CBS) sitting in Robert Kraft's box during the game.. how is that not a conflict of interest?
Anthony Smith's comments were not that bad.. his only mistake is in talking to the press at all. What did you expect him to say about his team's chances? "we stand no chance?".. He was confident, he's catching WAY too much heat for this all. He did get beat twice today, but coverage was never his specialty anyways.. he's a run support guy, I don't like how everybody acts like they know all about him now because the media twisted his situation all around... He's a good young (2nd year) player with lots of potential who got bit by the media, I hope he bounces back, he didn't deserve to get played the way he did on or off the field.
Pats NEVER get a bad bounce... EVER. And they don't turn the ball over because of that... Steelers have a HORRIBLE punt by the pats turn into a TO for them somehow... they have a bad pass on a trick play turn into a touchdown pass... It's just ridiculous, they're completely charmed to go along with lots of talent.. no wonder they're undefeated. That's a tough combo to beat.
Pats force you to play a very strict gameplan if you want to beat them - but they are still very beatable if you're disciplined enough. I think a team like the Colts could beat them by 20 points though, because they understand that formula and are built to run it. The Pats run the same type of plays in the same situations time after time, it's not all the confusing what they do, they just do it well... They will have that catch up to them, so I don't expect them to continue doing the same things..
And I still believe somebody takes them down in the last three weeks here... But if they lose regular season, I think they win the superbowl.. if they go 16-0, i think they lose in the playoffs, that's just my gut feeling on the matter.
By the way - this would be the softest team of all time to win a championship.. let it be known, they are much more finesse than any great team i've ever seen in the pro's.. look like a steve spurrier UF team out there most of the time.
I seriously don't know who is a bigger hater, you or DOWNTOWN43.
