OFFICIAL GAMEDAY: Patriots @ Cardinals Week 1

[NashuaPats]

Far from perfect, but Flemming/Cannon combo didn't cost them as much as I thought.

Props to Scarnecchia for that.

To cause panic for the other team.

Why didnt the cards rush down and spike the ball giving the FG a full clock?

Totally agree on the panic. BB waited to see whether AZ could get set in time for the FG.

On the spiking...4th down probably had a lot to do with it.

 

[Triumph]

I think it was 4th down.

I thought they made the 1st. My bad

I'll try and do an Idle thoughts later on tonight. An insomniac edition. But right now I am going to just luxuriate in all the post game stuff. Such a great win for this franchise. I'm so very proud to be a Pats fan right now'

[Joker]

Huge win...this one is LEGENDARY...NEVER EVER diss Bill Belichick again...NEVER

 

[patchick]

Btw, I love the Patriots but I can't help but give a huge man crush nod to Fitzgerald. Guy is a gamer and has been amazing to watch over his career.

Yep, I'll remember this game as the New England Patriots squeaking past the Arizona Fitzgeralds.

Pats lost the turnover battle badly but still won the game. Wow.

 

[long distance]

Let's hear it also for the unexpected beast (at least upon signing...) - Chris Long!

You didn't hear that from me!

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Man it feels good to finally get that missed field goal break, usually we never get that luck.

 

[Danger Zone]

Totally agree on the panic. BB waited to see whether AZ could get set in time for the FG.

On the spiking...4th down probably had a lot to do with it.

Things looked very hectic for AZ trying to get in for that field goal. Don't blame BB in the least for waiting to see how it played out.

 

[Gronk]

Far from perfect, but Flemming/Cannon combo didn't cost them as much as I thought.

with some credit to Martellus Bennett for murdering the edge rushers on frequent occasions. but watching Fleming upend Jones was fun too.

it seemed like through scheme as well as execution they were able to minimize any negative from their T play. there were a lot of runs and several pass plays destroyed by it, but they played through it well. it wasn't "good", but it was good enough to win, and i think it's reasonable to believe it will get better.

 

[Ring 6]

Well, I'm glad I threw caution to the wind and started Jimmy G in a couple fantasy leagues.

I hate fantasy but I'm playing because my brother in law started a league and he has a lot of fun with it.
I have Brady and jimmy g ( plus Gronk, minitrin and pats d). The team in playing had all their players done by end of 4:00 games.
I was close to being ahead before the pats game started and u was going to leave Brady as my starter.
Turned out I was down like 20 points so I needed to put jimmy g in and won with him.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Imagine what Jimmy will do with Gronk!!!!

 

[The Gr8est]

So. The Jets, Bills, Fins, AND Dolts all lost today, and we won?

Think I'm gonna go jam out to Today was a good day by Ice Cube for a while.

Karma Cowboys too.

Only the Ravens won.
