It's all about planning. The Pats looked unbeatable until the end of the season. Then *****s in the armor arose and more teams began to figure it out. Same goes with the Steelers. You can't always stick with what is working now because someone is eventually going to figure a way to the weakness.Yeah...once they learn that running it up the middle every other play just doesn't really work. *sigh*
The defense was best in the league but the offense wasn't keeping up.
I don't get how that team looked SO GOOD the first half of the season this year...and SO AWFUL the second half.

where are the Patriot fans? Why aren't they posting?
Well, they used to have this tall receiver named Plaxico Burress...
Who got pissed and left because they never passed to him.![]()
And, I never heard about that with Hines Ward, how recent was that? I don't keep up with the steelers much after the regular season if they aren't in the playoffs.
HE has matured and is themain reciver and that is what he needs. Yeah...once they learn that running it up the middle every other play just doesn't really work. *sigh*

Well, I suppose there's always next season. Two good RB's, Ward will still be around, and Tomlin is definitely gonna be a great coach.

FOR THE RECORD...THE PATRIOTS DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT CHOKE. THEY WERE BEATEN BY A SUPERIOR TEAM PLAYING RELENTLESS DEFENSE AND AN OFFENSE THAT MADE PLAYS WHEN THEY NEEDED TO
Thank you and peace and love and all that.
while I do agree with you to some extent; Gates has a confirmed broken toe & LT's injury was bad enough to keep him outta the championship game...so I can cut them slack...
But Brady's "alleged" ankle injury, and Moss...who knows. We all know they're just nursing their wounds, while not necessarily crying along with TO, I'm sure their pissed.
Me, I don't see any point in the pro-bowl anyway; just make some guys that don't like each other play on the same team; do any of you guys even watch it or is it just an excuse to squeeze in 1 last week of football until next year?
and im the same way.. I'm not the person to say this team sucks, that team sucks... I'm a football fan, i love it! A team can stink for a season but i dont really "hate" a team.. just strongly dislike![]()
I was humble this entire season. And after the giants won i still didn't go around bragging how "the giants are the best patriots suck horrayy!" Its any given sunday![]()
Yea he needs to come in an get a tast of pwnage.. I'll make sure its addressed in August don't you all worry![]()

Injuries dude. Ya loose Aaron Smith for the year, Parker for the year, Troy was banged up real bad all year. . .do I need to go on?
... I love watching that guy play, he's so dang quick and powerful
