The Patriots play their ninth regular season game on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday, November 14th at 8:20 PM
We're doomed. DOOMED!
I was afraid last week would be a trap game. Even Admiral Ackbar couldn't have saved us.
Now we're going to Pittsburgh. Then we've got the Colts next week.
Before you know it, we're going to be looking at 6 - 4.
Ugh.
Here's five things I'll be watching for this week.
1) Tom Brady - How bad is the foot? Bad? Or bad bad? We're not going to be able to run on the Steelers, so we're going to have to air it out. If I'm the offensive coordinator, I bring back the game plan from this 2006 gem vs. the Vikings.
2) Shayne Graham - Gostkowski has been quietly excellent over the last few years. Not only on field goals, but on kickoffs, too. I don't think anyone is expecting too much from Shayne Graham. He just has to come in and not suck.
3) Run Defense - Peyton Hillis KILLED us last week. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think he ran for something like 384 yards. That's gotta get better.
4) Aaron Hernandez - I've been pimping this guy all season. He catches passes that aren't even intended for him.
5) Tony Dungy - Easily the worst thing about Sunday Night Football. Let's see if he says something anti-Belichick at halftime!
My prediction: Pats 14, Steelers 28
Now... Let's go eat a goddamn snack.
We're doomed. DOOMED!
