I have NO CLUE. As a retired lawyer, that will no way deter me from offering an opinion. I’ll take the Steelers and the seven points (monopoly money, only). Satan’s Horde 31-Steelers 27.

Like Krusty, he’s all business when it comes to investing in laundry…..and the guys with the black and gold laundry haven’t shown the ability to stop a first string offense in any pre-season action. Yes, we know it’s pre-season, but you still have to block, tackle, cover, and hit people.

Homer can’t see NE scoring less than 34 points….and thinks 42 is more like it.

The fact that so many guys were let go the last week – including draft picks you expected to stick around – is unsettling, to say the least. We were looking for answers on D, and the didn’t find them with the draft choices. AND, just as important, there was no time to wait to see if they might develop. Unsettling as hell. Tomlin and Butler haven’t pushed the panic button just yet, but they’ve pushed the one next to it. The one that says, “uh-oh. If this doesn’t work, try to red one next to this one.”

42-24, Patriots. (Hope I’m wrong)

The cheating issues add substance to the aura, but it diverts attention from how the team is actually run. It is absolutely all a system in New England…one that is buoyed by having an elite QB.
Even had the Patriots not cheated, I think fans would dislike Belichick and the Pats simply for how players are treated. For most fan bases, casually tossing aside core players is usually only called for by the fringe elements (ie. those wanting BR traded 3 years ago). In New England, that’s the expected MO. It’s a strange dichotomy that in a sport filled with so much emotion, passion, and attachment…there’s one rogue team cutting through all that on a regular basis.

And as for not mentioning the cheating, I figured, whatever they may or may not have done in the past (and may or may not figure out how to do in the future,) the Steelers’ problem this week is to play them as they are at the moment. Anything else is not really germane.

Swallow the pill that makes you ill, yea or something like that:) We got some people with the sickness too, both on offense and defense. Hello Mr. Harrison. Deebo has a whole medicine cabinet full of stuff to treat his “sickness”.

Fit trumps talent. Yes, because success is all about “going deep”. I really dislike the Pat’s but I am glad to see a story not related to cheating. Thanks.

The question is, does Keith Butler have anything up his sleeve to counter it? My sole hope for the D is Lawrence Timmons supposedly being healthy. It seems that a lot of the problems have been communication, and having Timmons back (and Will Allen, the wily and experienced vet, instead of the inexperienced Shamarko Thomas) has, in my mind, the chance to make the D look a lot better than they did in the preseason. Of course, they weren’t playing Tom Brady, either. If they can somehow, some way, rattle Brady early, I think there’s a chance…
