Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted December 28, 2015 Didn't the Patriots blow out the steelers opening night? Don't they always? Sorry steelers fans, it's the Ravens the patriots have had the most trouble with. And of course, the NY Foootball Giants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted December 28, 2015 Rumors are swirling the Pats threw the game to help get the steelers eliminated from playoffs. "Rumors are swirling..." lol, that belongs right there with "some people say..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC 9 Posted January 1, 2016 It may have indeed been another stroke of genius!! They knew Steelers already lost so why not roll the dice and if Jets win oh well works out good for Pats. Who would rather have in Playoffs....Steelers or Jets? right now the more dangerous team is the Jets. By a country mile. If Belicheat wanted the Jets out, then why play Gronk all 4 quarters? BB hates the Jets. He wanted to win. He outsmarted himself there. He figured the best the Jets would do is a field goal or punt. If punt, then his team wouldn't need a TD, just a long FG from Gostkowski. If the Jets managed a field goal, Belicheats figured he could match with a FG if a TD wasn't in the cards. He never dreamed the Jets would march down the field and score so easily. Same old arrogant a-hole. This damaged Pats team isn't all that good. They ain't going far in the playoffs beyond their bye week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Ain't going far besides their bye week". So maybe they only win like one game? Which would take them to the frigging conference championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which would take them to the frigging conference championship Right on Worms. Belichick drives people nuts, its hilarious. Belichick didn't outsmart himself and the move does not make him an arrogant a-hole. He made an unconventional decision, that was made based on the O playing poorly, and the D playing great, and it didn't work out. The conspiracies for the meaning of the move are amazing. The Pats are damaged right now though, and if they don't get some players back, mainly Edelman and Vollmer, they are going to need some luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course, the NY Foootball Giants. Patriots would never shy away from playing the Steelers, they own them.. However their first meeting week one at Pats was a 7 pt win by the Pats, Steelers crappy kicker missed 2 FGs in that game and for some unknown reason their game plan was to uncover Gronk and make Gronk beat them. Hardly a blowout, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,032 Posted January 2, 2016 To he fair, it was a 7 point game because of a last minute garbage TD by the Steelers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murf74 461 Posted January 3, 2016 Thank you. That game was never in doubt.a team being in control does not equal a blowout There is no such thing as garbage time in a 2 score game BTW it was a 7 pt game with 12 minutes left in game. Steelers outgained NE 464 to 361 yds Steelers time of possession advantage over 4 minutes You guys are revising history not even close to a blowout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,302 Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah they're limping into the playoffs. Should have a lot of guys back on the field after the BYE but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PATSSOX 22 Posted January 4, 2016 After the first few drives i kept asking what the hell are they doing? They would run a draw on 3 and 8 while Brady only threw the ball 5 times in first half. And its not like they were running the ball successfully either. It was odd No way they were throwing the game but did look like it and the loss may have ended up helping them. If Pitt goes into Cincy and wins they will go to Denver and Pats get winning of Houston and Kansas City. However it wont matter who they get in the second round cause if Pats dont play better than they have in last 6 games they will lose quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think their desire to win the game was not super strong. So they weren't throwing it but they also weren't willing to risk injury to win it either. As it was Brady hurt his ankle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
