1996 was the beginning of the wait list for Patriot season tickets. Had a lot to do with Parcells being here.

sorry to hear about your grandma, but sit back and just enjoy the game . Both games this weekend should be an offensive clinic going on. (Now that i said that watch it be 2 defensive show downs lol) I see Atlanta v GB being whoever has the ball last wins type game. While the Pats V Steelers game I expect the Ds to play better than expected and stop eachother a few times, but I could see both Brady and Ben being clutch as well and winning the game on the last drive. (And seem a lot of Bills fans hate Whaley)

I expect stopping Bell will be Priority one.

Bell is a mismatch advantage for the Steelers vs Anyone. Man is IMO the best RB in the NFL.

Pump the breaks he is light years better than "pick 6" Eli. Also seemed for a long time it was literally Brady, Manning then Big Ben then Back to Brady....

Same is true for Lewis on Pitt LBers. (Read I think on bleacher report where McCoy actually said Lewis was the most talented RB he ever saw maybe even more talented than him. Was said during training camp w the eagles. ) Both these Os are scary good and should be a fun game I just see Big Ben throwing a couple of picks as he has not been as careful this year with the football. (He killed me in fantasy this year.) be interesting to see for sure. The Pats Run D has been very good this year. I thought the biggest miss match were the young Pitt corners on Edelman and Amondola and Hogan.

The NFL loves the Pats going deep into the A playoffs and wee hoping for a Pats V Cowboys SB. The two teams whose prime time games actually exceeded last years. It is easy you to see why though. Everyone HATES the Pats out of NE so they watch to cheer for the other team, and the Cowboys had 2 exciting rookies to watch.

Since 2003 with but 1 exception. (Flacco and Ravens SB) It has been Brady,Peyton, Big Ben every year.

I agree, I just don't see Brady having another Bad game for two reasons. One, the Steelers S front is not half as scary as the Texans D front and their secondary is young. The second reason is it is beyond rare for Brady have 2 bad games in a row. Also a big difference this year is Big Ben has had more than one game where he has been bad, the reason they win isn't him but rather Bell. IMO you stop Bell you stop the Steelers.

Yup was the Cowboys and 49ers before is with that fan base. I am hopeful this long run has increased our fan base from before 1996.

THIS YEAR insay all 4 are easily in top 5. Over their careers I say Big Ben has a solid argument to be in there and Matty Ice is probably 7-8... still damn impressive list for the final 4.

Did you see that grab by Cook!? One of the best catches I have ever seen. (Keeping his feet in and making that grab was more WOW for me than OBJ one handed grabs)

Maybe he feels if the Pats win it proves why it is so hard for Buffalo to make the Playoffs. If your in the divisionnwhere the AFC SB Rep comes from 50% of the time it makes your division the toughest in the AFC. OR more likely he feels if Brady wins another ring maybe he gets bored and retires so the Bills have a better chance.

Loo Evans made the scape GOAT but I seem remember a FG kicker BADLY shanking the game tying FG. The football goads were with the Pats that day. Also the Pats D (outside of when we had Revis) was always inferior and unable hold leads. I don't know about this years version yet but we will see on Sunday.

That we do, but we also bhave a lot of young fans who have never seen a bad year. They were losing their collective minds when KC crushed NE a few years ago...

And let's see the QBs that the tough Steeler D faced against the same QBS: Ravens: 24 (average) pats: 23 Bengals: 18 (average) Pats: 17 Dolphins: 21 (average) Pats: 19 (average) Bills: 20 pats: 20.5 (average) The one top tier QB they faced in DAX they gave up 35 points. The worst game for NE D was 31. I took out the Jets because they really stopped trying when the Pats played them last and IMO skew the numbers. I also took out Cleveland because the Steelers were resting players and also would skew the numbers. So NE against common opponents their D has out performed Pitt D. So with the Os being roughly equal in potency I give the D edge to NE.

Translation "ya your a dumpster fire and have changed coaches like underwear and I have a good thing here so Thanks but no thanks!" That's taking out all the nice PC stuff loo

Steelers D plays a lot of zone which is great againsta team like KC, but a team like NE where the players run to open holes in zones and a WB who throws to spots is a killer for that style of D. Which is one reason the Pats are successful against them. I was a lot more worried about KC and their D than Pitt and that D. I mean there is not a scary D left in the race.

They had a hard time scoring on the #7 scoring O, this week the killer BS face the #1 scoring D. Also their D faces the toughest O they have seen since well the last time they faced the Pats. Add in the fact the Pats played awful on Saturday. I see Pitt losing in double digits. But hey I am a fan. As for cheating? You sound like Tomlin the whiner that he is. "Oh the Pats D line moved at the last second (whine) that is illegal" nope you dope it isn't.. sad that Big Ben said the same thing.

Saw a bleacher report saying he declined the SF job. He has more than once said he will not leave unless it is the perfect job in his mind. He is rather happy up here (what OC wouldnt be)

as my dad would say Tomlin has more excuses than a hooker in church! Lol

QB driven as 2 of the 4 eliminated SUCK as a QB...

IF McDaniels takes the SF job then Jimmy G. Will go there for their 2nd and 4th. With Watson to Cleveland, Broncos start Lynch next year. You don't spend a 1st round pick and make him sit unless you have a Farve like QB in front of him.

The refs were horrid in that game! But they also came within 1 hold call not being made to going to OT. Bills O is top 10, but IDK Hill may be on the same level as Watkins... to early to tell. But the Chiefs have a top 5 D unlike Buffalo.

Dallas shot themselves repearedly in the foot in yesterday's game! They spotted GB a 18 point lead from said mistakes otherwise insay be Dax instead of Rogers next week. Also the old adage of defense wins championships is out the window. I think only 1 top 10 D is left in the final 4? (Not even sure of that. Lol) Brady NEVER goes to the Pro Bowl even if he could. So potentially have all 3 slots open
