How do the Pats bounce back against the Eagles?

Tough emotional game against the Broncos. Interesting test to see how they perform against a team that is scuffling. Past Patriots teams took care off business against weaker opponents, good gauge of mental toughness if they can win convincingly against Philly while being short-handed.

Go Pats

40-17

Philly is awful and the Pats are pissed.

Don't see a score in the 40's, but do see a good old fashioned ass whipping..

The Iggles have allowed 45 points two consecutive weeks and NE has a better offense than DET and TB.

Just an opinion based on our lack of available options.. but we will see, the most important thing is a win.

Actually you may be right. If they hold out Gronk and DA then they will not score in the 40s and maybe not even the 30s.

We could see a desperate eagles team. They control their own destiny. Have to be ready. Would be nice to get an early lead.

There may be a few things that could make this a more stressful game than we expect. It would take a miracle for Philly to win, but an ugly, close game early on may happen if Amendola doesn't play (removing Brady's last remaining security blanket) or the combination of Hightower (hobbled) and Collins (rusty) isn't as effective stopping the Eagles running game.

I expect we'll play well, but I can see a few chinks possibly giving me some heartburn.

I have a feeling this will end the same way the Bengals game ended last year, after the Pats laid an egg in KC.

With the fury of a thousand suns

Fixed it for you

We had a lead early on in Denver too. Wasn't enough...

Chip Kelly plays so fast and his offense has been so bad that they are 3-and-out faster than any team I've ever seen.

Need a big effort out of our defense to execute on 3rd down. Against Philly, you can get the ball back in like 40 seconds of game clock time.

Home crowd should help. I hope they are loud.

Offense needs to keep working to stay on the field and score points consistently which will be even harder without Gronk.

We need a dominant game from the defense and a ball control, heavy focus on ball security game from the offense, and special teams needs to help out preventing the big play and winning the battle of field position.

Looking for the first great offensive performance since Miami.

When Tom Brady is pissed he kicks your team's ***. He's pissed.

How do they win? By getting out of bed in the morning . Seriously tho, BB doest overlook any opponents. Any given Sunday and such.

Given the time of year. I'll say bounce back like a toothless Bumble or my name isn't Yukon Cornelius.

Just win baby!

Get as healthy as possible. That's all that is needed.

So rob you know something that the rest of the board don't know like Scott Chandler having a breakout game?

Will be more like the washington game or maybe even closer . Somehow need win thats all.
