NFL Week 8 - New England Patriots (5-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)

  I think after watching both teams play this season that it's fair to say....at this point....the Steelers are a better football team than the Browns. That's not an overwhelming bias there...that's reality.
  
  But anyways....back to Pittsburgh-New England.

  It's not college football, bozo.
  
  The division record only comes into play if the teams are tied in overall record.
  
  Steelers are 5-2, Browns 3-3
  
  That's not even.

  Agreed.
  
  Big time matchup in the AFC. Actually two big AFC showdowns at Heinz Field in the next two weeks.

  I'm officially the second biggest Pats fan on this board this sunday. Hope they embarrass them in the same fashion that the pats pwned them last season.

  Heading dahn to Heinz Field about 11 am
  
  Final thoughts?
  
  I think in this instance the experts know what they're talking about. Bad matchup for the Steelers. It's even worse now that Timmons had to move to outside linebacker because he's not able to cover as much. I can't see Foote and/or Farrior staying with the Patriots' tight ends.
  
  Steelers best chance is to possess the ball and keep Brady off the field. They need to mix in Redman and Moore and not just run Mendenhall over and over.
  
  Steelers will be amped up for this game, in search of some credibility this season...but emotion won't beat execution.
  
  Patriots 31
  Steelers 24

  Ward out
  
  Farrior out
  
  Ward probably not a big loss at this point. Stevenson Sylvester aka "Sly" will get his chance with Farrior out.

  It's not over.

  If new England has an off day on offense....they are done. They can't rely on that horrible defense for anything. Right now, the steelers may be the best of weak conference.

  That sack hurts.
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Throw the fucking ball away Ben.
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Give them the fucking safety and let's go.

  Phil Simms on the Safety call, continuing to say Troy's punching of the ball was illegal. Once again Phil, you can suck my cock you stupid motherfucker.

  How are you a Phillies and Steelers fan? People in each of those cities hate the other teams.

  I hate Phil, but isn't there some rule where it can't be advanced like that?

  Since PIT didn't recover, it technically wasn't advanced.
  
  I didn't see it, so I don't know if he deliberately hit it or not.

  The rule applies to offensive players. Is my understanding.

  Clowns fans keep chirping.......and losing. :laugh:
