The Official Patriots vs 49'ers game thread

We need a punt returner with Edelman out. Can Woodhead field punts I wonder?

We lost it on the Ridley fumble. He was 10 yards away from a 17-10 game, instead it went to a 24-3 game.

I'm a little wary on Ridley's ability to hang on to the ball. When the playoffs roll around, other teams are going to be trying to make him fumble. Plus he might now be thinking about holding on to the ball too much and that might affect his running.

Woodhead on the other hand showed tonight why he's a stud.

Gost better not miss.

Get the FG and then the onside kick.

 

[PittPatriot]

good pressure practice for Steven.

 

[Haley]

Now ST has the chance to redeem themselves with an onside kick/recovery

 

[Froob]

YES!!! Now for the onside kick

 

[buile]

There ya go, Gost.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Well, Gost did what he had to there. Now let's see his onside kick ...

Re: Patriots still can't deal with a more physical team! Ravens, Giants, Seahawks, Ca

Good observation on Welker running back punts. Team really misses Edelman.

You could have guessed that Ridley would rediscover his fumbalitis on a night like this. I was actually surprised that they did not keep Woodhead in the game longer as he is their most dependable back holding onto the football.

Those holding calls on teams were brutal though....worse even than watching Welker look like his feet were stuck in the mud.

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Boy, it would be fun to get this.

 

[PP2]

Look for a trick play. The new rule is that you cannot overload, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I think Collinsworth may be right and the Pats spent too much energy on the comeback that they were just spent at the end.

It's almost impossible to maintain an advantage for that long against such a good team. That's one of the reasons I was hopeful but still expecting a loss, just need to be flawless pretty much. That's why the KR was so huge, the switch was flipped and it's just asking too much to keep up.

I'm spent just watching this on my couch!

Pretty bad onside attempt.

 

[Bhelmet]

What the hell was that?

 

[Haley]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[jnug]

Pretty miserable onside kick.....sort of reflective of the rest of "teams" play tonight.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Patriots now the #3 seed

The last two games will basically not even matter now with Denver's schedule...

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Bummer. Hope we see them again.
