You guys are forgetting one thing.

The Ravens and Bucs play at 1:00.
Steelers vs. Pats are at 4:30.

If Ravens lose, we will know before kick off and we may not need to win.

[StillerInCT]

Maybe start Dobbs at first just to get an sense of how the game will flow. Then bring Ben in if we need him.

Do the Pats lose 2 in a row often?

Do the Steelers lose 4 in a row often?

2013, 2009 (5 in a row). Not often. But which one would you bet the mortgage on not happening?

I don't know.

What I really want to bet on is that Ben is going to be so disgusted and pissed off about this past month that he going to go utterly bananas next Sunday in a good way.

Yes, NE lost to Miami. So the big bad Pats are going to be smoldering because they lost and of course they always own the Steelers.

On the other hand, the Steelers have gone from a bye hunt to possibly losing the division. Sure, the Steelers have a great chance of losing. I think, I hope, that the honor-love in these insanely competitive athletes and the press clippings they are going to read all week is going to have the entire team wanting to pound NE into a bloody pulp.

Mikey is incapable of outscheming BB, we all know that. But is there a small chance that the Steelers will come out and just physically dominate the Pats out of sheer frustration?

Or its going to be an epic beatdown and an exclamation point on an epic collapse.

[Obviously]

Lit, I truly believe that the Steelers are just not that good.

[FortyThree]

Patriots won't even need to cheat to win by 2 scores.

I like it! They can ease into the game properly that way. Don't wanna get too aggressive.

[StillerInCT]

Fixed that for you. They've had no issue blowing us out when we had better teams.

Of course, the masochist in me is traveling to Pitt for the game (went last year too).

[Legacy User]

There are a poop ton of Pats fans here in CT and they are pissed about Coach Bill having Gronk in there for the last play. Like TannyHill could throw it more than 20 yards. lol

[Legacy User]

Also...Brady is back on the TB 12 water. Had some strength in that old arm that was a noodle just two weeks ago.

God I hate him and Edelman that punk who dumped Adriana Lima. How do you dump Adriana Lima?

As luck would have it Ben has a contusion and the Steel are down to their third string RB. Ugh.

[TTP]

Well, I've officially given up on this season and actually starting to plan stuff on Sundays again. It would be just like this fucking team to win this week and pull me back in.

[bradshaw2ben]

We will win, and then win out. We always lose to Oakland. I think Ben will play big next week, and so will Washington.

Whoa

You’ve crawled out on the limb and are jumping up and down on it

I already called it. I don't know how I feel about anything else from here on out, but there is zero doubt in my mind that the Steelers end up Sunday with at least 1 more point than the Patriots.

[Steel Mike]

Patriots by at least 20.

AVATAR bet?

I think the STD dick shaped lollipop avatar is available

[ironzabo]

This Patriot team can be had up front on both sides of the ball boys.

Its time to put the women and children to bed and go looking for dinner

Steelers circle the wagons and get it done come 4PM at Heinz.

[Jobu]

But they will, and win by 5 scores...

A real win this time? Or one of those wins where a year later we pretend they won because we didn't like a catch rule.

[Legacy User]

Do the Pats lose 2 in a row often?

Do the Steelers lose 4 in a row often?

So...something's gotta give?

I love your post about Ben coming out on fire..etc etc..and he might. I can half see it.

I'm just not hopeful (even if he did) that it would result in a steelers W.

I can picture Ben throwing for 850 the next 2 games. Not sure that means a W in either.

Steeler fans trying to see a win over the next two Sundays:

Avatar betting against your own team is..., well..., If this isn't Rock Bottom I'd say very very close to Rock Bottom. I will continue to root for the Steelers to the very bitter, very sad, very disappointing end....

Agreed. I’d obviously want to lose that bet....

But I also made fun of a poster that suggested we would lose yet again to Oakland....

So there’s that

[Steelafan77]

Yeah, the reason I commented on that post is because I'm where you're at. I want to believe but have been burnt these 3 last times so embarrassingly that while I will still root for them I expect .... well everyone knows. I hope to get an early Christmas present next Sunday but expect a lump of coal in my stocking.

If losing to the Oakland Raiders JV squad isn’t rock bottom...

Pats have lost to Jax, Ten, Mia, and Det. They are not a machine this year. Whole different team on the road these days.

Right. I'm not giving up. Ben can carry this team to 9 wins - if he can't beat NE at home, he can whip out the gray in the dome at NO.

But the depressing thing is the stark reality that this defense, and coaches, can't take us to a SB.

I know, it sucks. Right now this game vs NE is my super bowl. I just want to beat their asses. Get that monkey off our back.

Someone explain to me this gray thing and Ben? Im out of the loop on that one. Just cause hes getting old i assume?

How bizarro world would it be if we did this, and then end up missing the playoffs?

[Legacy User]

Yeah, beat the Pats then lose to NO and Cincy. The icing on this seasons cake.

[Legacy User]

Oh, no, it's much better than that.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think one of the women who accused Ben of sexual assault described his penis as being gray in color. The gray references are about how Ben is going to whip it out and...um...play really well and win.

Thanks for that P. I was too embarrassed to ask and now not proud I know.
