The Official Patriots vs Falcons Game Thread

Defense still having issues with TEs. Double 88.

In fairness to them, this was a bit by design. They wanted to take away Jones and White which left Gonzalez open. It worked fairly well until the last drive where they went into that soft two minute at the end of the half crap defense.

It's been awhile since I felt good about a 10-10 halftime time, still liking the Pats chances, sorry negative nancy's...:rocker:

You really need to take your head out from between your legs and get a clue. That was NOT a gutless kneel down. That was SMART football, particularly with only ONE time out left.

The Pats front office let only ONE "reliable" weapon go. That was Welker. They had no control over Hernandez. They had no control over Gronkowski's injury and re-injury. And there was no way to know that Amendola would get a groin injury (different than the 2 catastrophic injuries he's suffered). So, please stop with the whole doom and gloom, the FO sucks garbage rants already. YOU should be better than that since you claim to be an intelligent Pats fan.

Free country buddy. I can say what I want when I want and you have the right dislike it. End of discussion. You don't even know me and you are questioning my intelligence? Whatever.

Is Gregory physical enough in your opinion to handle the top tier TE's?

Gonzalez is probably the best receiving TE to ever play the game and you are complaining? He's still potent, but they are better off doubling Jones since Jones will KILL them..

BTW, the only issue was that Gregory's shoe slipped. Not sure why it did. But it did. If it hadn't, Gregory knocks Gonzalez down at that point and more time comes off the clock with no TD.

Aside from That Game in Sept 2008, I wonder when the last time was that Brady only had 9 attempts in the first half.

So it's a second half game. I think we are in a good position to win.

except the team hasn't scored a TD in the second half this season. I guess it's time to break that streak.

The defense still having issues with TEs. They need to Double 88 in the second half.

You score TDs instead of FGs and ATL will automatically start throwing it deep out of panick.

 

[Rob0729]

The Falcons' defense isn't that good. They need to be a bit more aggressive on offense.

 

[SVN]

We really need to sack ryan especially going against the offensive line.

Woodhead was damn reliable for us and a very underrated player. We could use him right now

Right? A year ago it would have been doom and gloom to be tied at halftime.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Ridley needs more touches, why is Blount carrying the ball?

I'm still trying to figure this out, my only major gripe with that half. The run game was masterful with Ridley/Bolden and all Blount has done is kill the momentum after Thompkins amazing catch. Just inexcusable for him to get carries over Ridley or Bolden in meaningful action.

 

[SVN]

expect pats to rush and falcons to load up the box.

Yeah, I was startled to hear that stat. Yikes.

 

[PATRlOT]

Gregory should be embarrassed about that brutal missed tackle.

How are we letting a geezer at TE beat us?

 

[DaBruinz]

So it is. And just like you have the right to whine and show your lack of intelligence by doing so, i have the right to call you out on it for what it is. It's you NOT being an intelligent fan. Deal with it.

 

[English Patriot]

Can't afford Turnovers in this half at all.

 

[SVN]

start with a hold...this could kill the drive

Anyone else get dizy watching Michelle Tafora talk. Her head bobbles everywhere.
