New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers. Moving on

New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sunday November 14th. 8:20 PM.
TV: NBC. Radio: 98.5 Sports Hub.

Game of the week on NBC against a rival and playoff contender. It's time to move on from anything and everything Brown (although it would be nice to see them upset the Jets) and put all our attention towards Pittsburgh. This is a huge game, had they won last week I would have been more optimistic, I just don't know right now. I hope they can pull it off and show that they're contenders. Even with Pitts stacked run defense I still would be more hopeful if Fred Taylor plays. I was pleased to see he practiced this week, with him in the line-up our offense can run like it did in pre-season, and in the beginning of the season.

Go Pats!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would hope we get on track here. The Pitt passing game has not been that great (well of course, neither has the Pats) but the D needs to do a better job on Mendenhall than on Hillis. BenJarvus was been horrible the last game, I hope Woodhead gets more work.

tough game against a tough opponent on the road. Pats historically in the last decade have come into Pittsburgh and had success even as underdogs (two AFC championship games come to mind). But this one won't be easy. If the offense can't turn it around I don't think we have a chance. This Patriots team is similar to the one in 2001. Not a great running game, solid enough passing game, a bend but not break defense and a great load of intangibles and talent on special teams. This will probably be a very low scoring dogfight that will be won in the trenches. I think Pittsburgh edges it out on a goal line stand at the end of the 4th. Pittsburgh 20, Patriots 16

Talk about an impact.

Great win against a tough team.

-Brady was amazing. He found branch, he found welker, he found tate, he found gronk, he kept hitting different receivers multiple times, he looked like his prime self.
-Gronkowski, well, talk about redemption. Career game.
-Law-Firm ran well.
-Our defense played great up until that 4th quarter. I consider that garbage though.
-Like said, Chung really makes a difference. He set up that sanders touchdown. Hopefully he is alright, he left late holding his knee.

You could tell just by Brady that this team really wanted this victory. They got it and showed they are up there with the elite teams. **** awesome!

Brady was amazing. Never doubt this guy, EVER after a bad week.

Heard Hernandez was playin himself up after last week with the 2 TDs in the loss and BB was not happy, hence the playing time for Gronk. Or Maybe we just needed a more physical TE against the Steelers and Hernandez is too much of a finesse type.

Seriously, whenever you start doubting this team they always bounce back in a huge way. This offense will be fine. Even though most of Pittsburghs points were in garbage time and Pats were in prevent, it's still a little bit of concern. Pittsburgh had some chances to score earlier and had some dropped passes. Still well played defensively, but I wouldn't call it dominating. Everyone played solid imo.

All in all, HUGE win and will only help us down the road with tie-breakers.
