To be honest i think our d look pretty decent on the first drive except for Skinner who was just picked on. He needs to be off the field and we are good

That's actually how I felt as well, seemed like the entire drive until the TD was plays made on him while otherwise we probably could have had a 3 and out. the problem though is we're relying on someone like Skinner to be out there anytime a LB gets hurt.

Nice to see Ridley holding on to that ball for dear life as he goes down.

Power team so far, even with limited Gronk.

Are we running so much because our pass game is horrible? or what?

HORRIBLE 8 YARD RUN

EDLEMAN!!!!

Nice tackle by Vikes there saved a bigger run.

Haha, even the Pats are running jet sweeps now?

Nice! Is that a replacement for the old direct snap play?

Edelman with his Corderalle Patterson impression.

Keep running the ball! Balance!

We're lucky we have Develin, he's exactly the type of big slow runningback that would own us.

Julian Edelman or Percy Harvin? Can't tell

Hightower is one of our few guys like tackles like a man.

Hightower, Mayo (most of the time), Revis, and Collins all lay wood. Chandler Jones too.

We did it last week too. Edelman is probably second best in the league at it, after Harvin of course.

How was that NOT a penalty?

Gronk has to get his head turned faster.

Another pass on first down. I thought they always run on first down.

Gronk still looks a little tentative on that knee, but I expect that to improve as the season goes on

dammmit ...holding
