Steelers rookie DBs expect Tom Brady to pick on them

They fired their last two head coaches, Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly, after one season each. They trust that they’re going to be prepared to play their best.

Yawn. It’s not like Brady hasn’t been here before.

This season, the Falcons are 11-5 and the Packers are 10-6.

There are but four teams left in the postseason now, and they are indisputably four of the best teams from this year.

Even without the New Orleans Saints participating, the 2017 NFL Playoffs have started to get entertaining.

That means Brady is more likely to be in the conference title game than Brees is to complete a pass.

Together they form a quarterbacking “Fab Four” in the NFL’s Final Four. A win would give Roethlisberger a shot at his third Super Bowl win, which would put him in a group with only Brady, Bradshaw, Montana and Aikman. In other words, he’s among the most powerful players in football. Aaron Rodgers is now playing at a level that is well beyond comprehension. They play on the edge, and even moves like Antonio Brown’s locker room foray into social media kind of seems in step with who the Steelers always have been, a total opposite to the Navy-like squad of discipline like the Patriots are. Brady is 21-2 in the playoffs when the Pats score at least 20 points. Pittsburgh is also just the sixth team to win a playoff game without scoring any touchdowns. A chance at a seventh Super Bowl. Atlanta’s only loss in its past seven games was a one-point setback to the Chiefs when Kansas City returned a two-point convert try 99 yards for the 29-28 winning score. Of the two teams heading on the road Sunday, the Steelers have the tougher task since New England has made it an old habit to represent the AFC in the big game. The two teams that will square off in Super Bowl 51. Garnett, who said he received death threats from angry fans who claimed he jinxed the team, went back to the tattoo shop to add another “I” for next season.

For New England, quarterback Tom Brady will lead the offense. I think the guys are very hungry, which maybe we didn’t have at times in the past when we tried to make runs. He deserves all the credit that he gets. Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots (-6, 51)Knowing what I know now, my “out there” number of New England -9 would have been tempered with the lower opinions and I would have released no lower than New England -7.

“This is two teams that have won championships that are going against each other”. No one in National Football League history has caught more balls over four years than Brown has over the last four.

Setting the scene: Has any quarterback ever looked more composed than Rodgers against the Cowboys?

ESPN favors the Falcons to win by six points. As good as Rodgers is, he’s not keeping up with the Falcons in a shootout based on the relative defenses involved. Together, they accounted for 46 of the 100 starting quarterback assignments in the Super Bowl. They’re more balanced, they’re better.

The quarterback said the team has been plagued by a bug that is spreading around the locker room. Not only was he unable to play in the Super Bowl against Green Bay after suffering a sprained ankle in the AFC Championship win over the New York Jets, the Steelers haven’t been back to this point in the years since.

An argument can be made that the Patriots have not been tested on defense, as they have gone up against quarterbacks like Brock Osweiler, Matt Moore, Bryce Petty, Trevor Siemian, and Jared Goff.

Before the season, there had been talk of the Steelers averaging 30 points per game and that Roethlisberger could challenge Peyton Manning’s single-season passing record, but due to a spate of injuries and suspensions, that never quite materialized. Linebacker James Harrison (shouder/pectoral) did not practice Thursday after practicing Wednesday, and running back Le’Veon Bell was excused for personal reasons.
