Apart from the myriad of other random things that happen during a football game, The Steelers got real lucky when the Patriots dropped passes on multiple 3rd downs that would've converted if they caught the ball. That's my 1st half summary.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that the team was falling apart that entire season and over-performed during the playoffs, which led to higher expectations than should have been realistic.

Man the niners are just bad. Once it gets past half time, scoring gets...difficult.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
Probably the biggest surprise so far has been Belichick not going for it on 4th and 3 on the 50. Going for it on 4th down is really out of vogue.

Really the team has been leaking talent for like five years, Baalke can only add good players when they fall in his lap, like when the Raiders passed on Crabtree for DHB or the Ravens sold Anquan Boldin for a 7th, so when some key players retired/left and we fired really good coach Jim Harbaugh because he was mean to Jed York, it all fell apart.

yeah it's hard to run an offense all game when you're only calling five plays.

Tight end with a great college career until he was yanked up by the ankle and repeatedly slammed into his quarterback like a club, leaving him with two torn ligaments, a broken back, and a one-inch divot in his forehead.

"He's a project, but one with amazing upside," says Baalke.

They were good for most of two seasons but had some obvious flaws and weaknesses that weren't addressed before the entire house of cards collapsed.

they were a good team but all the good players left and none have been added and a good coaching staff was gutted in favor of Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly.

kaepernick is total trash though, harbaugh was doing a lot to cover his weaknesses and he's completely fallen apart without him.
