Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots, Nov 30, 2008 4:15 PM EST



Pats-vs-steelers_medium

Here we go!!  Pittsburgh rolls into town with their killer D and revenge on their mind.  If you recall, we managed a 34-13 win over Pitt and their memory is long.  Matt Cassel has progressed nicely and this will be a good test for him.  Can he continue to hit Moss like the Miami trouncing?  Will Pitt be able to apply a strong pass rush AND shutdown starts Randy and Wes?  Welcome to Foxborough, MA.

They couldn't convert short yardage runs without Saturday

and Peyton made one really bad decision.

Gary Brackett left on a cart, that’s the only thing that worries me about the game.

Broncos forget to tackle Thomas Jones

he got knocked over, rolled over the defenders back without anything but his feet touching the ground then hopped off and ran for the TD.

It’s a big conspiracy. the league is rigging it so Pittsburgh plays the jets in the AFC championship game because they’re in league with the ROoney’s and Brett Favre’s wife.

That’s how it works, right?

Uncalled. I told you it was a conspiracy

So, does anyone know if there are any good CB’s in the draft of available in free agency? ‘Cause everyone who needs to make a play against us goes to O’Neal.

When they write the stories tomorrow,

they’ll talk about the Pittsburgh rush, because it’s convenient and it matches the received storyline. But the truth is that we a) can’t cover and b) failed to catch. After that, the turnovers made it academic. Bu they were more the insurance than the winning run.
