Who Can Beat The Patriots

steelcity83 · November 17th, 2007, 07:51 PM

Alright guys or gals I have a question to pose to you all who will be the team to beat the Patriots in Regular or Post Season. Obvisioulsy My choice falls within the AFC North thinking that the Steelers will be the ones to beat Brady And Company. Yes, I am a Steelers fan but that is not the only reason as to why I am picking the Steelers. First Off, DEFENSE, The Steelers have the top rated D in every major catergory. Secondly the Steelers are not a bad team on offense being rated fifth in the league in total offense and second in rushing offense. One more reason quarterback play. I will admit Tom Brady is an excellent qb as much as it pains me to say so, but don't forget about number 7 who has won games making plays happen out of the pocket. Brady is not as good outside of the pocket as roethlisberger but, he doesn't have to be because he is barely rushed. Now if the Steelers D can get Brady off rythym, I honestly feel the Steelers have a legitimate shot at beating the Patriots. Because the Steelers have the pass coverage to cover Moss and Welker, and even Stallworth whether or not Brady is on or not. And if that happens the Patriots have no running game to begin with and Definitely not against a Steeler D that is only giving up 72 yds a game. So if that can happen, let Big Ben and Company come in and play there game. Just a prediction, and unbias at that just stating the Facts.

unbiased? Seriously, if you weren't a Steelers fan you wouldn't have posted this.

Reasons the Steelers won't beat the Pats? They lost to Denver and Arizona. The reason their defense is ranked so well? Have you seen the offenses they have played? Buffalo, Baltimore, San Fran, Arizona... those teams can't get out of their own way.

Sure, on any given sunday... but the Steelers beating the Pats would be a huge upset. Oh and comparing Big Ben to Brady, at all, is rather funny.

I have to agree, while I do think that the steelers are great team, the Pats are on another level. They are by FAR the best team in the league and have beaten perennial winners in the league this year. The steelers have not played the same caliber teams

Good Luck Steelcity83, I look forward to your post game breakdown.

BtownJay · November 18th, 2007, 04:27 PM

They are sure showing the world they can hang with the Pats at half time so far. 13-7 Jets. OUCH.

ssigmanstinks · November 18th, 2007, 05:42 PM

looks better now, 16-13 with 4 minutes left, those steelers sure are dominant....

Also, I completely can see a comparison between big ben and old dented chin..... Big Ben runs reckless on a motorcycle without a helmet, big Tommy runs up inside models sans helmet.....

ssigmanstinks · November 18th, 2007, 05:59 PM

i hope your right about the steelers beating the pats, but uh....... we're 23 seconds from overtime and one decent brad smith catch away from you guys losing to Denver, Arizona, and the Jets.....

ssigmanstinks · November 18th, 2007, 06:15 PM

oh boy did you pick the wrong weekend to post this thread....... well ssigs, you kept saying your boys were only winning one more this season, maybe your prediction came 4 days early?

BtownJay · November 18th, 2007, 06:31 PM

are we taking bets on whether or not SteelCity comes back?

steelcity83 · November 18th, 2007, 09:15 PM

Alright, Yes tonight we lost to the jets, we were shutdown on offense and just downright sloppy, all night. I will admit that one, I am a Steelers fan yes, ok Big Ben might not be Tom Brady, but he is a hell of a qb, in my opinion and I think he deserves some respect for his ability. I am a fan of the NFL in general and watch most games. So were played horrible but I am not the only person in this world who thinks the Steelers can beat the Patriots, Tom Brady is a hell of a qb i won't deny that, but yes i will return again. But the question still remains unanswered who will beat the Patriots?

JGAC · November 18th, 2007, 10:03 PM

I'm not sure if anyone can with the way we're playing.

BtownJay · November 19th, 2007, 07:47 AM

Wow... way to man up to the loss Steel! Much respect for that.

But i'm sorry, i'd favor the Pats by 14 over the Steelers. Again, the NFL is wacky, so anyone can upset anyone. If the Steelers beat the Pats, it won't be because they are a better team, thats for sure.

No one is beating them this season. Unless Brady gets hurt that is. If there was ever a better team in the NFL, let me know, i'd like to get a video of their season. This team isn't fair.

Agreed, ben is a hell of a qb.

Who beats the pats? The fins.

I know, you all think that I am still loopy off of my 'Boys beating the skins, but this is the NFL and not only is it damned hard to go undefeated, it is just as difficult to go winless. The fins beat the pats and keep Shula from jumping off a ledge.

BtownBeers · November 19th, 2007, 08:22 AM

It certainly doesn't look like any team can beat this Pats team...IF they were to lose a game it is not becuase that team is even anywhere close to the level of this Pats team its just a fluke game. The Steelers have been exposed and while they are a pretty good team in the AFC they aren't anything special.

ssigman · November 19th, 2007, 08:59 AM

damn..maybe my spider senses were off.....dallas will win by 50 now

pats did beat the jets but it was only be 14 i believe..which is alot better than the bills and redskins did..granted we lost to both of them..i tried to help ya steel..its just not working
