Pats vs Steelers

[riverside sluggers]

best come from behind win, they put their shotty first half in the closet and just peformed like champs. tom brady, what else can you say about him really? he is the joe montana of this generation. Tonight he was 31 for 41 (75.6%) for 372 yards!!

 

Adam Vinatieri enough said he is the best clutch kicker in all of the NFL history, i will be shocked if he does not make it to the hall of fame. Its now to focus on next game, home game against San Diego

 

Pats will be unstoppable when their bout with penalties diminishes and dillon gets back to his form, tonight was 22 for 61 yards, did have 2 touchdowns. start running to the left and right, they tried to much to rush him up the middle but got stopped at scrimmage line.

We also have one of the most unbelievably underrated recieving groups as well. Branch is probably one of the most, if not the most underrated reciever in the game. Givens has amazing blend of size and speed. Brown is one of the most sure handed guys you can find. Add in the tight ends with Watson and Graham, and Faulk out of the backfield, you have 5 legitimate targets for Brady to go for.

Yeah big ups to Givens today, he had a career high in receiving yards today which may have been overshadowed a little bit. I just looked up and on the stat screen it said Givens had over 100 yards and I was like where the f*** did that come from. I think everything I have to say about Brady and Vinatieri have been said already, just players doing their jobs. Defensive line was huge today as well, Seymour had 2 sacks and Roethlisberger had pressure on him all day, which accounted for his dreadful numbers. Without that 85 yard pass to Ward the Steelers have under 200 yards of offense. I was also glad about the improvement of the penalties in Pittsburgh, they showed today that the crowd was not a factor to them and limited the false starts.

Clock error added 52 seconds to Steelers-Pats game

 

From ESPN.

 

Tom Brady, among the league's best in late-game drives, led the Patriots down field for the winning score against the Steelers in 1:21 on Sunday.

 

But could he have done it in 29 seconds?

 

The NFL confirmed Monday that the game clock was improperly set early in the fourth quarter, adding 52 seconds to the game.

 

The error occurred at the beginning of the fourth quarter. With 14:51 remaining, Steelers receiver Cedric Wilson ran a reverse and was held to no gain; the play ran the clock down to 13:59.

 

A false start was called on Steelers guard Kendall Simmons on the next play, but instead of resetting the clock to 13:59, the clock operator set it back to 14:51 -- the time before Wilson's running play began. No one noticed the error, including the officiating crew.

Yeah I saw that. Makes you kinda feel guilty about the win, but hey, s*** happens.

[schillingouttheks]

Give Brady f***ing 29 seconds, you still give him too much time. Pats for the win.

The error was so early in the quarter it really doesn't matter. Things would have gone a lot differently. Time outs would have been taken differently no doubt. I don't feel guilty I feel lucky to be a Pats Fan!
