The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

Starting to see the tide turn for this D also

No one said Gronk was going to be a 100% now, remember the important thing was that other receivers stepped up and helped Brady out this year and that Gronk is healthy for the PLAYOFFS. Remember that's the only thing that matters - a 100% and on form Gronk when we need him. What he does/doesn't do now doesn't concern me apart from fantasy points.

been lights out after that first drive.

Credit to Ryan, he's putting himself in position to make plays and tackling well

Logan Ryan had on bad play (although it was just a really good play by Patterson to block him out) and two really good plays on this drive.

I like that Ryan seems to be trying to show Patterson that he was worth the trade of the first round pick.

Good tackle. Almost a helmet contact. Thank god.

Finally getting some 3rd down stops today. Loving this.

Ryan being physical this game. I;ll take that all season even if it draws a few penalties.

Don't the Vikings now have whatever wind the Patriots had in the first quarter?

Patriots' nickel front on that play was Nink and Jones on the edge, Chris Jones at 1-tech and Easley at three-tech. Solid.

Ryan is playing like a guy who wants to keep a starting job.

Textbook tackle by Ryan there, D is looking like it`s sorted out the kinks from earlier.

Here's an interesting thought: can you imagine how differently the last five years would have turned out if Edelman hadn't broken his arm against the Titans as a rookie? He was already leading all rookies in receptions, and the Pats were working on a 2-WR set that was just him and Welkah.

Make this a separate thread during the week. This is an interesting thing to discuss outside the heat of the moment during the game.

Ryan's ballin his ass off today

Call me crazy, but I still think Ryan would pair well with McCourty at safety. Maybe we'll see it at some point.

 

[BradyFTW!]

That's what it should be, hope they stick with it

Possibly. Winds can be fickle things, as Cassel well remembers.

Almost got his hand on the first patterson pass too.
