Wow, if you told me on Oct 1 that the Pats would have a 2 game cushion for getting a bye on Dec 1...
Yes. When I saw it live I thought he hit the net but the replay showed someone catch it just out of the end zone. Still impressive.
Hail Mary? Gannon predicted that exact throw and catch before the play.
lol Tomlin talking up not only the Week 15 Pats matchup but a potential rematch in the playoffs.
Wonder why his team perennially loses games against inferior opponents.

Agreed. They're much more talented and GB is coached by fucking Mike McCarthy, himself a dolt.
Sure, they're one of the few contenders in the AFC with a QB worth a shit, they have two of the best skill players in the NFL and they have a high-performing, talented defense.
Yes. They are a good team and have weapons all over the field along with an improved defense.
1. I hope this is one of those magical 3 TO days for Ben.
2. I hope McCarthy and Hundley can not McCarthy and Hundley this lead away.

Time of Possession stats are silly in this game. Keep it up Green Bay. Just stomp the life out of them.
they also have a bad coach with a penchant for terrible passing defense for years ongoing now.
This PIT team has basically been the Celtics of the NFL this season: they look like they are going to lose to a mediocre team every week, but always find a way to come back and win.
That's the thing with the Steelers defense---and it hasn't changed with Butler---they attack, and that leads to some impressive performances when they are on, and especially against mediocre or very predictable offenses. But against teams who can counter, or surprise them, they are not at all good at adjusting.
Supposedly they played a ton more man this year primarily to be ready to play the Pats. We'll see---tonight looks like more of the same to me, a talented group but one which you can fool and get to overcommit.
Big Ben still has it, though.
Well, even the Celtics lost a game or three. Pittsburgh also beat the Vikings and Chiefs (although that second one isn't looking so great now).
There's no use doing the "they beat team X so they are good, but they lost to Team Y so they aren't good" thing. You can do the same thing with the Patriots. They are 8-2 and will probably be 9-2 after tonight and are probably the only thing (other than injuries) standing between the Pats and another trip to the Super Bowl.
