It's my opinion that the Pats miss Jamie Collins more than Gronk. But neither will matter in this matchup. Pats should cruise.

They absolutely miss Collins, and it took them a handful of games to really adjust to not having him IMO.

 

Even still the defense has been the most undervalued in the league IMO. They aren't elite, but they're in the next tier, and they get overlooked by so many because they have no stars on that unit. Outside of Logan Ryan (worst cover DB in football), they're legit all across the field.

Dupree and Harrison will have Brady running for his life.

 

Maybe a little, nothing like Houston did. If Pittsburgh was smart they would change their defensive plan very closely to how Houston played them.

I think Butler is a stud.

Antonio Brown screwed up. I won't call him an idiot or dumb, but he screwed up. Big time. He has managed to upset the Patriots and the Steelers with his boneheaded move. WHY ANTONIO????? WHYYYYYY????

 

And then deleted it this morning? Dumb decision. If the Steelers win this will be a huge upset at this point. We all know what happens when you make Brady angry.

 

For a game of this magnitude, bulletin board material means nothing. If there is one person in either locker room that isn't totally focused and needs bulletin board material to focus or get energized, it is time to get out.

As to the games, I don't care who wins either conference championship game. But I do know I will be rooting for the NFC in the Super Bowl no matter who is playing.

I think Bell rushes for 150 yards, but Belichek schemes Brown out of the game. Pats win 20-17.

The worst cover corner in the NFL wears #36 for the Pack. Good God

Hold on, if we are gonna go worst ever, I'll fly the banner for Antwon Blake, who literally graded out as the worst corner in the league. Yet the Steelers continued to trot his sorry behind out there. I'll never complain too loudly about their secondary now that he's gone. I'll gladly accept rookie growing pains vs. being Blaked.

New England 27-20.

The Steelers are a very talented team but lack discipline on a multitude of levels on and off the field. The Patriots will expose that come Sunday. Pats by 2 scores

This isn't worst ever. This is worst now. Dallas threw at 36 when he was one on one with Dez, then realized it was so easy they threw at him when Dez was taking breathers.

He had a bad day.:lol2:

Just wait til GB has to walk a safety down into the box to stop the run game and he has no help against Julio. Atlanta won't wait a half to exploit that like Dallas did
