The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

Perfect pass to Edelman by Brady. The line did a nice job on that drive giving Brady time.

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss 14s
Rookie OT Cameron Fleming, who played in Stanford's pro-style offense & was known for run-blocking, has been on for 9 snaps as extra TE.

No let up. Up 10 was last week's first half too. Pedal to floor now - key.

Great adjustments at the line by Brady. He's been dead accurate so far too.

Funny cause when Manning makes those pre-snap adjustments he gets his D sucked on live TV for it

EDELTRON.

I already like the crew of amendola, Edelman and Dobson at wr.

I am confused now do I rebook my tickets to Phoenix yet? Are we all back on the Super Bowl bandwagon or are we still on the Patriots are doomed to be an 8-8 team at best bandwagon still?

Hey Announcers , Might be time to mention about the wind on kickoffs.

Uh oh, hope Edelman isn't concussed

So far Patterson has been a complete non-factor despite all the pregame talk.

I wonder how many times we are going to have Edelman run. He has done it a lot this year. He is turning into a Harvin time player (with just a tad less pure speed).

Where was this last week?

Might have started slow, but (touch wood) we can keep it up!

We'll let you know next week

Edelman was responsible for 59 of the 61 yards on that drive. #Patriots

Gronk seems to be in on long yardage situations or 3rd down. Must still want to control his snaps. But I want to see a gronk TD.

He can't run without his legs so good idea to go straight for them and take him down before he can get into open space.

Brady has been very good. Keep him on the short and medium passes and we get results

@jeffphowe: Pats might actually be reducing Gronk's role this week. 8 of 22 snaps, 4 of 6 3rd downs, 3 of 5 red zone snaps.

Remains a concern.

Edelman looked legit on that drive. Well done.

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.

Cheers, that's now in my head!

But remember Brady is a Patriot, and f**k the Patriots!
