The Patriots vs Chargers POST Game Thread

Think of how good the defense would be if that bust Collins wasn't playing!

The only thing this defense needs is someone to get pressure when we only rush three. Thankfully we have a secondary that forces QBs to hold onto the ball for 8-10 seconds.

I hope that it's snowing next weekend. I want Miami to freeze their butts off.

FYPFY.

Great teams win these kind of games. Tough fight for every yard, far from perfect play (at least on offense), mistakes, let downs, but in the end they played better than the opponent when it counted. GREAT GREAT win!

Tough, gritty road game in primetime, never easy too win.

Defense was GREAT! Return of Siliga was big in the run game, Revis PAY THE MAN, and Browner setting the tone during primetime along with Jamie Collins. This team can HIT.

Arrington was great on Royal.

TB12 erratic in the first half, then got the quick hitters going and got in a flow, without the run game all night.

Beastmode was huge tonight

Edelman is impossible not to love, tough, hard nosed workhorse

DefenseRules said:

The penalty on Browner still mystifies me. Unbelievable. I'm watching that hit again. Honestly I don't know how that is a penalty.

Thats why BB proposed reviewing all plays on the field this offseason and the morons voted it down because coaches dont want to be caught not challenging an obvious play. In a bang bang play the refs err on the side of caution as the league wants it called. Not absolving the refs but there is a solution to this which the competition committee voted down.

The #Patriots made it thru their 6-game "gauntlet" with a 5-1 record. In that stretch, they outscored teams 214-113--an average of 37-19.

DDDDDDDDD
Revis wow just wow pay him please.
Mccourty needs to be retained he will be highly sought after honestly you take the money you were paying Wilfork Mayo and Admendola and you give it to Mccourty and Revis.
I like the athleticism Ayers and Castillas brings to this team.
Collins is a special talent who has the ability to be a top 5 linebacker I love this teams Linebackers.
Edelman did not look hurt and is so scrappy I love his intensity.
Like seeing Brady use his feet to make plays.
Am I the only one who when Blount was struggling to get out of the backfield was thinking let's see Jonas Gray?

Someone should post a list

we finished 5-1 during that brutal 6 game stretch...amazing

He get's it done when it needs to get done. Still the best. Beat an 8-4 on the road 3,000 miles away.

Off with them, to the Hampur!

The D gets the game ball. Namely Mr. Collins and Sir Revis

I understand the excitement the players/coaches are feeling but does anyone else find them way more excited about this win than you'd expect ?

OTOH, 1-4 in the red zone and 2 bad turnovers isn't quite so good. Need to tighten things up for the playoffs.

As soon as i saw that stat abotu Brady being the only Pat to commit a turnover all year i just knew someone lse would fumble it tonight.

One thing i would like to see is Johnas Gray get some carries again. He seems very quick to the hole and shifty in it.

TB had a very uncharacteristic INT again tonight. He looked to be really struggling to step into his throws due to the pressure from SD.

Give SD some credit. Their D can really bring it to you in Man on Man D and Dwight Freeny is still an absolute load to handle at DE.

Deion Sanders just said he wish he got to play for BB.

Deion regarding BB .. " I wish I could have played for him". RESPECT

Defense is legit. Pats offense has struggled lately. Oline specifically has regressed greatly. They need To figure it out because it will cost us games if they can't

Jules had 8 catches for 141 yeards. That's huge output. Glad we kept him.

Deon Sanders on BB: "I wish I could have played for him"

Part of the reason why NFLN>>>ESPN. You get legends talking off the top of their heads vs a bunch of nobody talking heads over-analyzing everything.

many saying not a pretty win, but I will take a win with the defense playimg like this any day over a 38-28 type of game. Defense needs to play like this to win a SB.
