Of course Belichick could qualify for creative writing awards with his injury reports over the years
All of those questionable for the Patriots will play, guaranteed! Bellicheck is a master at deception and will lull you in a sense of confidence. That has always been the element of his coaching

About 20 years ago, the NFL fined Mike Shannahan for not correctly listing a player as injured.
The following week, Shannahan listed his entire team as doubtful.

Typical Pats fan smugness from Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe - but as the saying goes, "it ain't bragging if it's true" (at least as of this morning)
The Steelers can talk a big game, but they're not going to win it
Beating the Steelers is always more fun than beating the Falcons, Seahawks, Eagles, Panthers or Rams. It’s almost as much fun as beating the Jets. Part of it is because of the abject insecurity of Steelers fans. Pittsburgh is a terrific NFL city and Heinz Field is one of the league’s great venues. The Steelers have won more Super Bowls than any franchise. Western Pennsylvania football fans are knowledgeable, tough, and bleed black and gold.
All that said, those folks are wildly insecure when it comes to the Patriots. They’re still crying about Deflategate and Spygate. And let’s not forget the 2015 September matchup in Foxborough when Tomlin and the Steelers accused the Patriots of cheating by putting the voice of Scott Zolak into Pittsburgh’s headsets during the first quarter....
The Steelers are different from the Patriots.
But deep down, we all know the Steelers can’t beat them.

This is why I hate Boston sports(Pats, Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox), their fans/media are awful.
I truly hope they win today.

Kenny Britt will play. Britt has not lived up to his billing, but he is still big, fast, and can catch a football. Hogan out is good news, still have to cover Cooks, Britt, Gronk, and Lewis. Should be a good test for our secondary. Front 7 needs to get quick pressure on Brady. I don't see them stopping our offense consistently.
And Boston Sports fans wonder why everyone else hates them (hint: It's not because we're "ZOMG JELLUS HATERZZZZ!!!!)
Well......Hogan, King, and Van Noy are out.
Damn, Haden inactive. But JuJu active.

Looks like the offense will have to surpass 40 just to have any sort of chance today.
mid 30's for a decent chance, to be sure.

Both teams are down some good players. It's a game of attrition. If the Pats win it's because they're better. No excuses.

3 Reel Treasure Slots Champion!I agree. May the best team win. Hopefully the Pittsburgh area suicide hotline is quiet today.
Fixed game. James broke the plane.
Played their best and couldn't beat them even if it was BS.
Just wasn't meant to happen.
What a cheap call. Crap like that makes me really hate the direction the game is going. Thats a freaking catch. Unbelievable.

Unfortunately that hasn’t been a catch in the end zone in the NFL for two years. It is a nonsensical rule.

They're calling in extra staff right now to handle the call volume!!
What on God's Green Earth was Ben thinking, throwing that pass on the fake spike into Triple (or Quadruple?) coverage?
Also a big letdown by the defense on the last possession of the Cheats, why didn't they double Gronk? And on the two-point conversion everyone could see the pass to Gronk coming, yet they put only one CB at him... no chance from the start.
The defensive playcalling at the end was marvelous. Went right back to zone coverage with Hilton blitzing and left Gronk wide open in the middle of the field, just an amazing play call.
Bravo Keith Butler.
My concern is AB. Hit looked like it could be damage to fibula. I hope not.

Brown suffered a partially torn calf muscle. Should be back for the post

You need to watch the highlights and see the bullshit touchdown they gave to the Panthers in the back of the end zone.
Hopefully we can win out and get a by.....give him a little more rehab.
I’ll try and fInd it. My point is that end zone reviews are all over the map and no one really knows what’s what anymore.

Dear rest of the NFL
If you plan on gift-wrapping the Pats another Super Bowl, just hand them the Lombardi trophy now and cancel the rest of the season.
