Also, I hate to say it, but decker needs to get his mind right. Dropped some easy passes.
Adoree needs to get his mind right and fair catch.
Why? Pitt is better than NE in basically every way this year and should have beat NE if not for a BS call that should have been a TD. Pitt has better play makers on offense and a much better defense. NE has been pretty susceptible to teams like the Titans in the past. Teams that run the ball well and have a mobile QB. Our type of offense (when running well) takes the ball out of Brady's hands.
It's been a pretty weak year for QBs though. That isn't to say that Brady hasn't been great, but compared to previous seasons, it's definitely a notch below. Also, since week 12 this year, Brady has struggled a little bit.

Our offense matches up better with NEs defense (theyre closer to KCs run defense statistically - 20th against the run - and are just as bad of a pass defense - ranked 30th in the league), as opposed to Pittsburgh (which is a top 10 run defense and a top 5 passing defense).
People seem worried about the idea of playing Tom Brady, but unless Roethlisberger, Bell, and Brown accidentally get on a plane to Aruba that Sunday, the Steelers pretty much showed that theyre also a terrible matchup for TEN (to the tune of 40-17). Theyre about even statistically as far as passing offenses go (#2 and #3), with the Steelers probably having more quick-score weapons than the Pats.
Mariota to mariota excluded, what was your play of the game?
So many big plays.
