Suck axxx, when are you going to get our of the zone? Dumb azz.

4th quarter we will play more man

Phil Sims correctly diagnosing our problems schematically against NE historically...

if it's that damned obvious, why can't we change the game plan?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Any reason not to fire Butler for this game plan?

The problem was a lack of pass rush. The teams that have been able to slow down Brady were generally able to apply consistent pressure on him. The Steelers tried man coverage in the game and still got burned because they couldn't get pressure on Brady. Give Brady enough time and he will find someone open regardless of scheme.

For all intents and purposes for this defense today it was nothing more than a preseason meaningless game. They knew it going in.

Because Tomlin OK'd it

when did we try man? I saw zone all night. Seems like the only time we try man is Timmons on a WR.

Gay played a soft man over the middle and let up a big gainer.
Most of the time it was a zone.
Terrible, just terrible watching Harrison drop into coverage..SMH

and we brought very little pressure.
