The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

I don't understand the pass on 4th and 8. I can see not kicking in order to run down the clock, but then, that would require a run, no?

Let's get this game over and no injuries.

worst 30-7 win on the road against a winning team I've evere seen...Brady is done...the Pats have holes everywhere...how'm I doin'?...this is the game thread protocol isn't it?

Nice sack Nink!!

Back on track baby

This game would have finished like an hour ago if this ref didn't want to be the centre of attention.

The only starters out for D is Revis & McCourty,. Glad to see they are being careful with them.

They are obviously trying out things and a live game is a good place to do.

A first down ends the game.

**** the flag....god

Another penalty. Refs having a field day

This is getting ******ED.

14 freakin penalties? Pass game and penalties need to be fixed.

C'mon defense, one more flag. there it is, we have a record.

These flags are out of control. Way to kill the game refs

We do have to work out the penalties though, clean things up.

Penalties again... FFS

and a new personal best for BB, 15 flags

That happened in the 4th when the D was gassed. For about 3 Quarters he was 3.3YPA

Nah you were repeating an early stat later in the game, I didn't reach back for that.

That's when the YPC typically DOES increase by the way. You might notice that on games with "UNSTOPPABLE" rushing attacks... they're stopped for 3 quarters all the time.

Malcolm Butler is in for Revis on the final drive. Gronk didn't play on the final 11 offensive snaps. Pats protecting two stars.
