Dominating performance against Big Ben and Co.
Slowing down Matt Ryan with all of his weapons
will be their biggest challenge of the season.....

I agree, completely different team than the week before.

Belichick and Brady are some kinda force.  Blunt carrying the whole Steelers defence to the goal line was awesome.  That kid Hogan had a great game.  That flea-flicker play was fun to watch.

We got lucky on that non-fumble call on TB.  It looked like the Refs got the challenge wrong, but they must have figured not enough evidence.

I was concerned Bell was going to run though the defense, but even before he was injured, the Pats kept him in control.  I wonder how much, the results would have been different, if he stayed healthy.

Seems like the whole team was firing on all cylinders.

I'm glad to see McDaniels is staying and with Patricia, their coaching is got to be the best the sport has ever seen.

Atlanta's got a great young team.  Ryan and Jones are tops and their defense is excellent.

Should be a well hyped and played game.

I expected that Steelers to be a lot tougher.  I agree that Atlanta is going to be a big challenge.  That Pats will be prepared as they can be.  Let's hope they prevail.  What an amazing feat it would be for them to win the Superbowl in light of how the season started.  Maybe that would silence the naysayers, but I doubt it.

I thought Brady's forearm / elbow touched before ball appeared to be loose.
You have to adapt to the cards dealt your way; Pitt tried a back-up game plan to use without Bell, but Pats were all over it. Yeah, I think it made it easier for the Pats defense, but still think they would have snuffed Bell and forced them to seek alternative plays.

First 4 games played without Brady, then to lose their biggest offensive pass receiver in Gronk !!
Never would have imagined it Tony....They need just one more flawless performance from everyone.
If anyone can prepare a team, its Coach Bill and his staff.
I would so enjoy watching / listening to NotNearlyGoodEnoughAtAll speak while handing the trophy to Coach Bill, and his perfectly timed words back to RodgerDodger.
