This team is consistent with its red zone (non) production.

i thought DeAngelo Williams had a superb game. he and Antonio Brown were the only bright spots IMO.
the defense, play-calling, and coaching were all bush-league. there is no excuse for a professional football team to be as unprepared as the Steelers have been week in and week out for the last several years. the coaching staff and the front office have to go if they want any real hope of winning another Super Bowl with their current stars.
It's more of the same, the team hasn't gotten any better.
The gimmick play on the first drive was in my opinion, the turning point of the game. We were gashing them (we gashed them all night really), and that play stopped the drive. You always want to get on top of a team like NE early if you have the chance. That just wasn't the time and place for a trick play.
You have to take advantage of your chances when you're playing a team like NE on the road. Could have had 7 on the first drive, and should have had 7 more on the play where DHB's foot slid out of bounds. This was a winnable game.
Gronk is an incredible weapon. I don't know that there's ever been anything like him before. Big as hell, yet fast and athletic. How the hell do you defend against him? The guys his size can't cover him, and he just overpowers the small guys who can stay with him.
Was wondering the same about Boykin, but honestly not covering gronk at all on those 3 plays was huge, how do you EVER leave gronk completely uncovered?
