Three home games, three iffy offenses that suddenly looked like world beaters. By all rights they should be 1-3 right now and winless at home.

belichik is a genius trading away collins and jones, 2 of his best defenders.
gunna go 16-0 this year. wicked pisssaa -
There was a lot of discussion about how smart Belichick was to allot so many resources to the secondary and that would ensure another great defensive year; and how the Steelers were so foolish not to spend their second, third and maybe fourth draft picks on defensive backs and instead wasted a pick on Ju Ju. Not working out well on those fronts. NEs defense is getting lit up even with Stephon Gilmore. The genius even had Mike Hilton in camp a little while but didn't retain him and the dumb HC of the Steelers makes him a big part of the defense, and Hilton is looking very good..
Pressure is a big part of the Steelers success on defense on NE's defense doesn't have that. It's not all about the secondary.Comment

I live in Maine, not a Patriot's fan at all (always a fan of who they are playing, haha), but I see them play a lot (I'll watch any football game that's on). Going into the season their front seven seemed pretty suspect, and I think that's what you're seeing. Their secondary is good, could be great, but when your front seven is pretty weak (think Cam Heyward in with all our second string DL and LBs--wouldn't really want to see that) it's going to look that bad. Matt Patricia is a great D-coordinator, but he's got a hard job with that front seven. When Hightower is hurt the only other baller they have in the front seven is Flowers.Comment

Knowing the Pats and Belichik, they'll rectify this. This team put a WR at corner and won an SB.Comment

Nope...
Seems that old hoody has been reading his own press clippings into thinking he can turn water into wine. His defense has gave p the most points in the NFL and he can't stop the bleed out.
Their in trouble. I thought Brady was so great that he was suppose to be their answer for everthing.

They are awful. They may not make the playoffs this year.
This is why it's foolish to get rid of good players for OK players. They are due for a slide and I hope this is the year it happens.
LOL at folks saying the Pats always get better in the off season. Doesn't look like it so far. They really should be 1-3 right now.Steelers 27

They might have a bad defense but I bet you the Steelers offense will have much trouble scoring enough points when they play them on 12-17.Comment

I just hope we haven't spent too much time focusing on the Pats. Looks like KC and Texans could be a problem this year.
and even though the Pats D sucks Brady can still put up 30 so we need to put us 40 just in case.Steelers 27

Stephon Gilmore started the second half of that game on the bench.Comment

15 times brady was sacked all year last year through the superbowl.
this year he's been sacked 15 times through 4 gamesComment

Our defense also has 15 sacks through 4 games.
Which means that our defense is on pace for a 60 sack season right now, and Tom Brady is on pace to be sacked 60 times this season...if his 40 year old bones can hold up that long.
I guess the folks who said (a decade or so ago) that Brady would never be able to do what Ben does behind a crappy OL will get to see how that turns out this year.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
