lets face it : they barely beat the eagles 31-28 , and then last week slip past the ravens 28-24 . is that 1st lost possibly against the steelers or some other team maybe . what do you think ?

it will be a great game thats for sure. i firmly believe with the Steelers excellent run and pass defense. They get pressure to the QB in so many different ways. the Ravens did it last week and that affected Brady a good deal. The Steelers however can also score on offense either passing or running . Pats have already shown that their primary focus isnt the run (once again).
The Steelers do it very well and will work the clock with the run and set up the pass. I look forward to seeing this game and watching the Pats finally go down...so i can stop hearing lame *** announcers talking like they are the greatest thing out there.

Are they??? Come on to reality for a bit they may or may not lose.
However let's face it if the Eagles and the Ravens have played they way they played against the Patriots all season long then they would have an amazing record this season. They went into the game giving more then 150 percent which neither team has done all season.
Only time will tell if they lose. However let's also face another little fact if going undefeated all season was such an easy task it wouldn't have been 35 years since the last undefeated season.

I agree. And the funny thing is, the Ravens played like the Steelers during that game, and the Steelers can do it better because they have more of an offensive attack. I think it will be a great game but the Steelers have all of the weapons they need to come out with a win.

I do. Beyond being a very proud "hater", which in Patriot*** speak means someone who doesn't like cheating, I think they have some serious deficiencies as a team which I believe will catch up to them in weather games.
Ever since the Colt game, I have believed that the defense and the running game are the Achilles Heel of this team, especially when the weather turns against their passing game. I think we have seen this belief justified in both of the last two games.
Beyond the weak defense and running game I think the strain of an undefeated season is going to start catching up to them. It has got to be a nightmare with all of the attention it draws.
So yes, I think they are ripe for the picking. A Steeler or Giant win would be wonderful but a Jet or Dolphin win would be priceless! It would be the happiest day in sports history!

This is the week the Patriots get back to running on all cylinders .
The Steelers DB's do not match-up well against the Patriots WR
Palamalu who is not at 100% will blitz and get picked-up by either Kevin Faulk or Heath Evans and that'll leave Randy Moss or Daunte Stallworth in 1 on 1 coverage which Moss will win all day
This will be the best Defense the Steelers have faced all year and the 1st Legit Play-off contender they have faced all year the Steelers did good beating up on weaker opponent with the exceptions of Arizona, Denver , and the Jets only 3 wins vs teams over .500 and 2 of them came from the Browns
This game will not be close Patriots win continue their quest for perfection .
Patriots - 38
Steelers - 13

How can you talk about the Patriots whan your team has lost to some crappy teams? I bet big Ben will choke. I am not really worried about the game because the Pats are going to be pumped up because the Steeleres had to run their mouths. I will be shocked if the Steelers beat us at home. I just don't see it happening. Go Patriots!!

First off, stop about the cheating....your team does it to. Second, great teams win close ballgames no matter who or where they play.
Now with that said, the pats should beat the steelers. The 2 teams that have played them close have CBs that can play man up and are physical. If you leave the steelers CBs on them by themselves, brady will pick them apart. Of course they are ripe for a loss, they havent done it yet. I promise back when the dolphins did this the same questions were asked and the dolphins responded by continuing to win. If they do go 15-0, they will not set their starters, they will try to go undefeated.
Also dont forget about the steelers guarantee from their safety.....like the pats need more incentive to embarass teams, he should look at some of the scores posted by the pats this year.

i think if they can somehow find a way to beat the steelers on sunday they will go 16-0 , i dont think they will sit there starters if they got the unbeat season on the line unless the game is outta reach , but i really dont think they'll make it pass the steelers there a fairly old team and there wearing down which is common in football

They will not be losing, any time soon.... you're reading too much into 2 games... every team has an "off" day or two. Even on an off day, the Patriots still, find a way to win.

If the Steelers can take advantage of the Pats weaknesses on defense and get ahead by 2 touchdowns, they can do it. They are ready to lose, but the rest of their schedule is weak.
