TD PATS

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Call a cop. Someone stole the Pats and replaced them with NFL players.

Good things happen when you open the playbook. No Thorton running circles around the QB. No dumb as trick plays.

NE screwing up their draft position

 

[BigKen]

Officiating is bad. Every little thing the Patriots do is being called.

ZERO calls against the Steelers for holding, PI, or anything else.

Henry was being interfered with in his first TD and no flag.

Surprised mor offensive calls haven't been called against the Patriots.

 

[BigKen]

Patriots need to blitz when Trubisky is in a sure passing down. Four rushers isn't getting it done with the Steelers being allowed to hookand hold.

Sack Trubisky once and he'll throw at least one more INT.

 

[BigKen]

Zappe has thrown 3 TDs in the first half and doesn't seem to be bothered at all by the rush.

Sending Roberts on the loop blitz caught everyone by surprise and Zappe got a bloody elbow out of it.

I'll take 21-10.

Just shut the door on the Steelers first drive of the second half and score one more TD immediately.

Cause a little stress.

 

[BigKen]

Time to watch the second half.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

There’s our A rated.. going to the pro bowl punter.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

F%#&

 

[SteelersPride]

Pats win. I believe that truly

mitchell is starting. Its happening

Good game folks.

 

[nefansince75]

Good game folks.

Sherman predicted Zappe would have no TD passes with a chuckle. At that point I kinda felt the Pats would win.

Zappe could have easily had a horrible night. The Smith-Schuster grab wasn't a good throw and he led the safety right to Henry on the third TD throw.

Yep. I stand by zappe>mac

Second half was complete flip of the first.

Coaches got conservative and it could have cost them the game.

4th and a yard at midfield and they decide to punt after making a first down on a previous 4th.

Ty Montgomery is a liability on ST playing the edge. Worst case there should be a LB protecting the edge. He looked like a pinwheel letting that punt get blocked.

The defense played well but got just a bit lazy on the TD and two point conversion.

Funny watching Pickens do nothing when his number or the Steelers ran the ball. If he's not the prime receiver he completely takes the play off.

21-18 and they lost the #2.

Huge difference alright.
I’m still wondering how could Zappe could ever be since Jones was just that bad …

I care about nothing other than I got to see a nfl game and the patriots were playing in it!

I dont know. I never saw it with him coming out of school. Throws a nice deep ball though

It looked to be in more favor of the pats especially on that offsides that even the ne players acted like it was against them … possible game changer … although I’m no fan of the antics centers are allowed to do before hiking the dam ball .. that almost always goes against the defense …

Did not watch a single second of this game..... Because I was in bed at 7:30 sick as hell. I was expecting to wake up to a Loss but wow they actually won!

Figures the time I drop Zeke he goes off!

How'd Zappe look? I did see the replay of one of his TD throws to Henry and that had some zip on it

Zappe was world class in the first quarter … seriously … he actually moved in the pocket as needed and in the RIGHT direction …
other notes, Steve Belichick gained some weight and there was a wardrobe malfunction on the entire cheerleading squad but no one noticed cuz it was the Steelers cheerleaders … other than that you didn’t miss more than a real live nfl game

hope you’re feeling better!

Thank you for the re-cap! Was it a good wardrobe malfunction?

I am certainly better than last night but still not feeling that great.. Doubt it covid but it's something for sure. Thank you!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Well, that was better. But hanging on at the end is never fun. At least it was against an inept offence.
