To be honest,I don't care if he plays another down of football this year.I just hope and pray he makes a full recovery for the game of life.

Shazier may never play another down again. Being able to go through life is more important. Just like former Bengal David Pollock. Pollock retired after 2 years not wanting to further injury himself. He has gone on to work hard and have his job at ESPN.

I hope he makes full recovery too, but frankly I am surprised he didn't get seriously hurt before this the way he always would lower his head and go spearing into the ball carrier's body to make a tackle.

The hole at Middle LB really stood out vs a poor Baltimore offense. Not the speed to get there on outside runs as well as out of place on inside runs. This will really hurt if the players can not step up. One possibility is moving Watt inside. Like what the Packers did before with Clay Mathews.

Pittsburgh will win! Their defense looks a little vulnerable, but with an offense like that you don't need it. As long as BR or LB don't get injured they will be fine and rolling to the SB.

Not double teaming Gronk hurt in the second half. The injury to Brown needs to rest as much as possible. Even then he can reinjure it at anytime. The WR's need to do more even if Brown comes back.The loss the way they lost hopefully the attitudes do not come back. Even though after the game Ben mentioned Coach meaning Haley wanted to run the pass play and Ben wanted to spike the ball. Having Connor get hurt effects the team if Bell gets hurt or has to rest some.

Ooops I jinxed the steelers :lol: What a game this was! The call at the end was correct the way they got the rules set up. I personally hate that rule. If you got control of the ball and it crosses the plane it should be a touchdown, like if you got two feet in with control it should also be a touchdown. Tough loss for Pitts! I thought for sure Pats blew the game giving up that long pass play.

Jmo the ball broke the plane ? Right ? Why do they say the ground can't cause a fumble ? May be wrong ?

well that was a debacle at the end. I thought it was a td, he crossed the plain with the ball in his hands. granted he bobbled it some. but that was after he hit the ground. but he still maintained possession and the ground can't cause a fumble. which never actually happened.i haven't read any other comments yet, so I'm curious as to what others thought. dumb pass by ben to lose it. but you cain't hit home runs if you ain't swingin for em. should have thrown it away, kicked the field goal, and went to ot. but it truly is the agony and defeat aspect of sports. it happens in a blink of the eye in every sport.did you all think it was a td. he crossed the goal line with the ball never hitting the ground. but the ball moved some. but never hit the ground. that is totally confusing to me.

One thing is James had one hand secure on the ball at all times. Where Bryant in the playoffs before changed hands and kept control while flipping over. This case James had one hand come off when he hit the ground. James is a big guy who probably can palm the football with 1 hand easily. I thought he controlled the ball with his right hand.

This catch rule needs to be changed anyway.

Eli Rogers comes out saying that Pittsburg will win the next time they play the Pats. Which coming from a player who doesn't make many plays on the field himself. Just play the game instead of insert excuse here.
One of the Best things about the Pats they do not run their mouths to the press.

His left hand definitely lost control when he hit the ground causing it to move a little which would make it the right call with the rules they got, but like I said I hate that catch follow through all the way to the ground rule they conjured up a few years ago.
