    I had a conversation with a Pats fan at work. I was surprised they left Brady in. He also didn’t like they fact they were still throwing downfield late in the game.

    We had had a nice talk. He’s paranoid about AB. LOL

      Belichick is apparently a genius because he left his starters in the game until the very end in order to pour it on, embarrass us, get inside our heads, and establish a sense fear for when we see them again.

      Tomlin is apparently a moron because he left his starters in the game until the very end, exposing his best players to unnecessary injury risks.

      Sounds like AB level logic at work...
      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.

        Joe Haden has a sprained ACL. I don't think he's playing this week against the Seahawks. Secondary is officially open now. Like a 7-11 store.

          So I guess it’s Artie Burns week.

            A sprained ACL would be a knee injury. If he indeed had a knee sprain, then yeah, he wouldn't be able to play next week. Corners need to able to run.

            However, the correct injury is actually a sprained AC joint, which is in his shoulder. Depending on the severity of the shoulder sprain, he might miss some practice time during the week, but might be able to play next Sunday. We'll see.

                  Preseason games and cancelled practices or giving Ben practices off would be good times to get some reps too.
                  Kicking the fg was giving up much earlier than the last 5 minutes.
                  How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

                    pretty obvious to me they needed the reps in the pre season

                      It was an AC joint. Sounds like he’ll play Sunday.

                        The safest place in the stadium for Brady last night was in the pocket.

                            Not expecting Joe Haden (sprained AC joint) to be out long, with a chance to play Sunday vs. Seattle depending how he responds Tuesday. He's played through the injury before and he re-entered game in New England.

                              I accidently put in the "L". It's an AC joint in the shoulder.

                                Sounds like Nix will be out for a few games. Knee injury per Tomlin.
