Todd Haley ruined the game. We'll leave it as is.

Having him the entire game would have made a huge difference in the way the Pats play defense. He demands at least double coverage every play. I'm referring to your quote saying AB in the game wouldn't have made any difference. I didn't see you say anything about the last 4 minutes of the game or Todd Haley. AB has an affect on the game every second he's in it.
It's football 101. What are you arguing?
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
Davis catches the ball we win. We actually put someone on Gronk we win. James holds on to the ball we win. Ben doesn't force it we tie.
Ifs and buts.

Had a chance to put the goddamn game away TWICE before that drive, but instead of letting Ben win it, let's run it up the middle on 1st and 20. But yeah, it's all Ben's fault, according to you.
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
It shouldn’t have come down to that final drive. Game should’ve been put away at the point fan is talking about...
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
Catch ball. Go to one knee (football move), reach ball across goal line.
Game set match ... Officials in NY edit game on the fly.
Now we just need to here Brown is not out for the year.

Thank you. That's all I was trying to say.

Point is the Steelers moved the ball just fine without AB. He wasn’t needed. Problem was, and I’ve mentioned it several times, Haley turtled with 4 minutes left and went three and out. Then the defense can’t stop Gronk, which went on all day. Having Brown has no impact on either of those things. Are you trying to say that the Steelers would be winning by more than what they were had they had Brown? On the final drive, again, no need for Brown...
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
Well, at least Butler made them WORK for it for a change. It was nice to see man, even if Haden was out.

Yes Haley's play calling was shit the last 4 minutes but that was a football move and TD.

Steelers jobbed, so Haley is to blame. Got it.
The two drives before the last one. THAT was when we should've been putting the game away but Haley went ultra conservative and just gave the ball back to the Pats.

Man the Outlaw has to be sick right now.
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
The Cheaters are gonna win another Super Bowl this year. If they play a playoff game close, their opponent will just do the stupidest fucking shit to hand the Cheaters the win like the Steelers decided to do. Pats got so god damn lucky without having to play AB in the clutch

I completely agree with you about everything but AB being in there. I don't know how our back and forth just happened.
Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
Outscored 11-0 in the 4th quarter.

You want to blame Davis for not covering Gronk!? He is half his size, all that blame rides on Butler for not double teaming him all game long, especially on that 2 point conversion, Gronk wins that battle 99 times out of 100

Knowing this team's complete lack of ability to beat the Cheaters, they would have managed to fuck it up anyway, even with AB on the field.

Agreed. Gronk killed us the whole second half but we never did anything to adjust to it.

Re: Patriots* @ Steelers 12/17/17
Steelers defense played well. Our offense was unstoppable in the first half. Second half without AB, not so unstoppable. Missed those doubles on AB. Allowed them to spy Bell, keep a safety roaming, and stick a CB on JuJu. It made a big difference. With AB, we win this one by 20.
