The Official Patriots vs Lions Game Thread

Dobson. Not a surprise.

 

[pwes]

This is going to be a very good game kinda suprised it did not get flexed to a 4oclcok game.

I'm glad it wasnt. I hate having to wait

 

[Gronkowski123]

drew stanton threw for 300 yards against this lions defense

sucks that dobson is inactive yet again. so much for developing young wr's.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Is this implying the refs will secure the win for us?

No. This is implying the Lions have no chance.

To people who keep asking for Dobson : ugh... why do you keep hoping it's going to happen ? Who is the last player to have this much time, has basically nothing positive to show, and actually becomes a somebody ?

We waited for Bequette, Ras-I, Jermaine Cunningham, Taylor Price, Shawn Crable......... Chad Jackson > Dobson

 

[TBR]

Ughhhh the 2 things I wanted to happen today: Dobson active and Revis on Megatron, don't seem likely.

As long as we get the win though, I'll care less.

Alan Branch could play an important role today with Easley out. Looking forward to seeing what he can offer.

Why are you ignoring his rookie year?

Tony Corrente Is today head refree.

 

[farn]

Ignoring his rookie year ?!!??? List the accomplishments last year. Go.

 

[Patjew]

5 catches, 130 yards and 2 TDs against Pittsburgh? It's a shame he broke his foot at this point.

Most successful rookie WR of the Belichick era?

 

[farn]

The rookie year accomplishments are "one amazing game". Chad Jackson had more than one amazing game.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Disagree with the reported gameplan at CB. I'd prefer Revis on Megatron and Arrington on Tate.

 

[farn]

I think Revis is often going to be watching someone he can guarantee to lock down - while double teaming the top threat.

It's more about watching him play (you know, in actual games that mattered last year, as apposed to assuming he plays like sh*t in practice which we don't even see). He ran solid routes, showed great speed, picked up lots of 15-30 yard chunks, and was statistically the best rookie WR Brady has ever had.

Boyce is a WR who's played like crap. Not Dobson. And the fact Bill chooses to keep him on the roster and not just stash him on IR, says something.

Just wanted to give you your 1,000th like. Congrats.

Most successful rookie WR of the BB era isn't an especially high benchmark now is it?

 

[ashley]

Let's go Pat's!!! If we can give Tom time to throw, I think we should be able to shred their secondary.

Thanks!

It isn't at all but it's still an achievement, even if it is a low bar that has been set.
