The Official Patriots vs Raiders Game Thread

[DefenseRules]

Hopefully McDaniels wakes up on this drive

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

At least they aren't down 7-0

Chandler Jones is a beast, he got held on the Revis pass int, and now knocked that down.

 

[TBR]

3 straight 3 & outs to start our games so far

 

[SunsOutGunsOut]

If you were reading this thread and not watching the game, you'd think the Pats were down by 14 points.

no no .. 28-0 atleast

 

[English Patriot]

That was the most annoying drive ever by the raiders, long ass delay between plays and taking 2 timeouts? Suprised it's not halftime.

It's Oakland. I don't care what the score is. There is no way they should be able to move the ball so easily. Pats should have had the lead by this point. Denver would have been up by 14.

You don't know that. The Pats would defend their offense different and they usually do a decent job vs. Manning.

Oakland's moving the ball at will has produced 3 points in two drives. The Pats probably are still feeling out what they are trying to do.

Let's exploit that bad Raiders run D.

When casting my predictions, I figured Oakland would go up by 3 on their first possession... the another 3 to make it 6-0.... just to get everyone's panties in a bunch.

Let's see if we can even get a 1st down this drive...

 

[Froob]

Giants-Redskins a big time matchup? Say waht

 

[spo]

Can we get Lafeel out of the game please?

 

[patriot lifer]

Who was the white guy trailing the Oakland receiver that would've given up the 1st down if Chandler didn't knock that down?

I saw the # was forty-something. The only defensive player on the team with that # is Ebner.

No, I mean Denver would have been up by 14 over Oakland.

I understand what you mean. I am saying you don't know that. The Pats would approach Manning different than Carr.

 

[Whitt25]

I'm actually watching this one at home. At least defense held them to a field goal.

 

[Gronkowski123]

ridley just got enough...otherwise, they were going to get booed off the field!

 

[PatsBoy12]

I think runs like that for Ridley will be there all day.

 

[Big-T]

Nice run by Vereen.

 

[Ozymandias]

Keep it simple. Run the ball and play stout defense.

 

[Froob]

I expect Ridley will bail at the end of the year but I wonder if we can get Vereen to stick around.
