Pats fan. Season ticket holder for 35 years.
They deserved to lose that one. Congrats to the Steelers.
Brady, for whatever reason, looks like a shadow of himself. Yep, he may have a knee or lower leg issue that affects his throwing, but his best asset has been his mental strength, his ability to get others to raise their game, and his complete lack of errors. That was then. This is now. He looks all of 41. And to be honest, he just seems like a much stranger person. I hear many saying it's the influence of Giselle. I am going o snap if I hear him talking about how he stays more hydrated, etc. Pretend it is 10 years ago and learn to throw the ball away. Don't force throws you can't make, don't take dumb sacks. He just looks very mediocre. Sad.
If you hate the Patriots, I get that this is fun.
And Mr. Gronkowski is just not the same, either. I won't get into the speculation as to his injuries and it doesn't matter. He had physical problems when he was drafted. That is why they were able to draft him. Today, he has lost more than a step. He can't elevate to the ball as he used to. He seems like he can be defended one on one, and shut right down two one one. Time ago NO linebacker could defend him. Now? He is a very old and beat up 29.
They just look old in a lot of key positions, like their time has passed. Bound to happen at some point. And of course this will fuel the local fire about the big blow up over Bellichick wanting to trade and move Brady, to be able to sign Jimmy G for the future. And Bob and Jonathan Kraft insisting that that keep their boy Tom, who was all good to play to 45. Well, at 41 he looks a LOT worse than he did a year ago, when he had one of his MVP caliber seasons. He looks OLD, and now he looks demoralized. He looked like he was ready to cry.
We won't get into the defense. They are "adequate." The Pats defense did not lose the game.
Nice win for the whole Steelers organization: Tomlin, Big Ben.....the whole roster.
Not looking for a repeat of this in the playoffs, if that were to work out. Actually, I'm assuming that the Pats will be one and done. They suck on the road. SUCK. And I am thinking they will open on the road.
BTW, the "Cheatriots" shit is pretty old. Everybody in the league looks for every advantage, and in effects cheats. So does every MLB, NBA and NHL team. It's big business. Thinking the Patriots did ANYTHING that really matter is pretty funny. It did end that fat piece of crap Mangini's career, though.
Go Steelers. Actually my new favorites are the Browns.
