Malcolm Butler and the Patriots seem eager to make a statement tonight

[Soul_Survivor88]

Still doubting us, it's like they never learn. Ready to rep the #Patriots Red, White and Blue tonight in, primetime… https://t.co/yI9DZtKKtw



Can't wait...going tp watch these boys play.

GO PATS!!!

Love Butler, plays with a great attitude. Defense wins football games (as he proved!). Here's hoping he gets a pick-six!

I'm fully expecting them to slap the faces off the Texans tonight. Don't care who's starting at QB.

 

[Saint Pat]

They better show up after letting Tannehill get almost 400 yards passing last week. That second half was just atrocious. I don't put the blame entirely on the secondary because Patricia was calling all the soft zone coverages with little pass rush, but the game is 60 minutes long you have to compete all 60 mins.

I now believe part of it was complacency, and also wearing down like the Phins D did in the first half. If the O can't stay on the field, then the D will get destroyed.

Totally agreed. Jimmy was shredding the Dolphins D and the Tannehill was making mistakes early on.

Here's my point about tonight: Steve G. needs to make kicks that he should be making. I love the guy, but within a span of 3 games, he missed an extra point that was the difference in the AFCCG and he missed a routine FG in the 4th quarter which could have iced the game and rendered Miami's last drive meaninglessness.

And he hit the game winner in Arizona after the cards had come all the way back to take the lead.

High percentages make them easy to take for granted, but I never see any kick as "routine", esp. beyond the 20

Don't misunderstand me. I love the guy and I don't want anyone else kicking for us. But, at $4m per year he needs to make all 3 of those kicks, not 1 of 3.

For an NFL kicker? A 21 yarder isn't routine? Wow, you and I have different expectations.

Misses happen sometimes. Players go through funks. Gost is the least of my worries at least.

I meant from the 20 yard line out (37+), which the Mia miss was.

For a very long time he was the least of mine, as well. Nothing would please me more than to see him reel off 20 in a row again and become automatic once again.

...sometimes miss."

 

[Pats-Phan]

Statement made!

 

[AtomicDawg]

27-0. I'd say the D showed a thing or two.

 

[woolster22]

Ryan Allen's 7 punts for 333 yards accounted for more field position yardage than the Patriots offense by 30ish yards. STs was huge. Cyrus Jones will get some ball security work after this one.

he was so close

Well smarty pants, how do feel now after making such a STUPID prediction?

The Pats didn't slap their faces off, they ripped their heads off and pooped down their necks and made them say "we like it"
