no, it hasn't. We are up 9 points on a team we should be annihilating. And 7 of those came from a pick.

And you want them to pass more in a torrential downpour with no TEs and only 2 established (and small) WR's.

Maybe football isn't your thing.

I have news for you: Moss, Welker, Gronkowski and Hernandez are not walking through that door tonight.

Hell Dobson and Boyce aren't even going to play tonight.

The punter did the right move by picking up the ball to throw, it didn't work since he fumbled but if he managed to toss an incompletion to his running back that would of moved that ball back to the line of scrimmage. Unfortunate but that's what you are taught to do when a ball rolls back that far and you have time to pick it up

And gosts kick was good but with very little hang time it will hurt us later in the game as they will likely get good returns on his punts. Luckily we have slater though

I would rather have gronk

MORE ADVERSITY - do we continue to overcome or has it finally become insurmountable? Gonna be a FUN 2nd half.

I wish we could have finished that half as strong as we started.

So many frigging lost opportunities in first half....hope it does not come back to bite us....and long snapper should be fired...u just can NOT DO THAT SH! T!....Lastly...will we EVER develop a pass rush in the post Romeo Crennel era here under Belichick ...? Luck has all day....

@Tunescribe - does this make the Patriots the priests of the temple of scoreboard?

I know you said this in jest, but I agree with it. If we're winning, good. What's your problem with winning?

The offense scored 21 points.. Blount has 3 TD. I see I'm arguing with someone who thinks stats and logic aren't important. I'm done here

Some good stats and logic going on here

True dat but watching the big man breaking Donald Jones in half is amazing

Running the ball is definitely a big part of the gameplan tonight but we can't be too reliant on it. That last series was a perfect example. Just terrible playcalling there.

So on hindsight, the safety was a good outcome when considering that being downed at the 2 might have resulted in at least 3 or 7 points.

without special teams screwups, like the blocks in the back and of course the safety. we'd be up A LOT more

Like is there not ONE person on this board who knows basic logical reasoning?

My post that just because we are winning does not mean we are playing well or anywhere near as well as we should be somehow translates into me not liking winning? Google necessary and sufficient conditions.

Why wasn't that a touchback???

A Colt player clearly knocked the ball from the field of play through the endzone - that's a touch back!!!!!!!!

I think the board consensus is that's not even a matter of hindsight. It's fairly obvious to everyone but Dumbledorf.

The Colts are PLYING for their football lives as well - AND THEY ARE DOING SO ADMIRABLY - Good for them, but this is OUR house - time to put it away and worry about next week.
