This game was horrible.  I mean that in all senses of the word.  It was cold, rainy, sloppy and generally miserable.  Oh, and the Patriots lost to Pittsburgh, 33-10.  Chris and I discussed  whether this game or the Jets game in '07 was the worst ever weather game we've attended.  I said it was the Jets game last year.  Chris says it's this one.  We'll have to agree to disagree.   As always, however, we managed to have a good time.

Can't you just tell how crappy it was out.  Blek.

Chris and Steve don't seem to be letting the weather get them down.

Lenny, Chris and Josh brace against the chilly wind.

I'm really hoping Steve isn't giving Dave the thumbs-up
on that rain gear.  That's just hideous.

More Patriots v. Steelers action.
