Who's actually gonna watch the Patriots*** game?

I'm curious to see Keith Butlers gameplan. Lebeau got it right one year and played tight man to man and blitz...then forgot about it after that. Brady torches our zone...every time

I'll watch, I always support my team. We get into blowout territory though, then I'll probably change it. Hoping our guys show up Sunday and tear apart the Patsies even without Ben. If we could beat the Patriots* with our back up QB, that'd put the rest of the NFL on notice that the Steelers are far from done. We're at two losses, with a litany of injuries, a lot of times in the NFL it's just getting healthy and playing well at the right time that makes all the difference.

Of course I will be watching! I've watched every game I could during the 85', 86', 88', 91', 98', 99', and 2003' seasons. What did those years have in common? The Steelers had losing records. I am far from a bandwagon, fair weather fan and I am not going to start being one now! I still have much faith in our Steelers! Its not like the 80's or early 90's when everything was lopsided. The parity in the NFL has increased ever since the salary cap was implemented in 1994.

Oh I did too (at least from 91' on), but there hasn't ever been a team/player in the history of the NFL that I hate more than NE and Brady. It's gotten to the point where I didn't watch the last 2 SB's the Patriots*** were in. I did watch the replay of the one they lost though, just because I knew I'd take pleasure from seeing that.

That stretch in the 80's was particularly bad, but I watched all the games. I will watch this one. These games build the enjoyment for when they do win against teams that they've had a bad run against...and they will kick cheater ass where it counts in the future. It just may not be this week.

I remember some bad runs against the Bengals and Browns in the 80's, losing games and their idiots fans. I still remember that every time they beat the Browns or Bengals. It doesn't matter if the Browns are 2-14....I don't forget how I felt then, the idiots in the Dawg Pound, the bungles cleaning their cleats with Terrible Towels...the bungles stupid blaring 'Welcome to the Jungle'....

Watch the game...you'll enjoy the wins that will come all the more.

I couldn't agree more @LambertWardSteel! Most recently, I remember the 2003 season when we went 6-10 under Cowher and I watched every game to the very end thanks to the Sunday Ticket. Then the next 2004 season ended up being just what you mentioned. Pittsburgh went 15-1 during Ben's rookie season after he filled in for Maddox who got hurt. What's even funnier is how some folks at the time were saying that Ben was a lousy 1st round pick and wouldn't be any good. It's similar to all the shit I had to listen to about Shazier these last  couple of years. Anyway, my point is our Steelers built off those two seasons and won Super Bowl XL in 05'-06' season. That victory felt so damn great mainly because Pittsburgh hadn't brought the Lombardi Trophy back to Pittsburgh for 25 years up until that point.

I watch as much of every game I can because:

1. I love the Steelers
   
2. The offseason is so long that I need to get more than my fill to get through it.
   

I'll watch every bit of this game even if the Cheaters are winning big. You never know when someone like Tuitt or Hargraves pulls a Von Oelhoffen and rolls across Brady's knees, turning them into sausage. I would hate to miss that.

why should the fans always be loyal to a team that isnt always loyal to the fans?

"A team that isn't always loyal to the fans"

What are you talking about? Please explain how this team is disloyal to us.

YOU ARE PURE EVIL!!!! Don't forget Blount. I'd like to see some go Burfict on him out of bounds.

Great. Kaboly wrote on Twitter that Hargrove and Tuitt were injured at practice today; saw them laying on the ground and said it doesn't look good.

Have to see how / if this develops.

It's the live game here in the UK. 9pm so I have lots of time to drink myself into a stupor to mumb the pain.

Oh, it will be on unanimously in all 50 states across the country, except for the city of Atlanta.

For future reference, below I posted a link which is a great source for if you don't have the Sunday Ticket. It tells you what games will be shown in your local area every week.

That sucks! Sorry to hear that.

Heres a game plan thought to start with-maybe they should cover Gronk this time?

Nothing came through on my Bleacher Report and that usually seems to be pretty accurate and fast to the jump so maybe it was actually a non-issue? Maybe they were playing tickle monster with each other? (That REALLY wouldn't look good but maybe would do something for moral)

Ok I guess I'll watch the game, I was angry while posting this. I did pick the wrong week to quit drinking ugh lol

Really just hope the Steelers can pull it off. Now that Big Ben is out for 2-6 weeks. Hope he gets better!

the players dont give their best effort on the field every game. they smoke dope and get suspended. they fake injuries so they dont have to play. hold out. etc.
ownership sold out to ticketmaster instead of allowing season ticket waiting list fans first shot at single game tickets. etc.

Sorry he won't be able to watch the game or sorry he lives in Atlanta?

No watch for me. Will have a house full of kids.

Honestly I was upset when the station moved to a more competitive game during both the Eagles and Dolphins broadcast...I'll probably watch every game I can as long as i'm earth. Love my Steelers even when they're getting pounded
