The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

[goheels22002]

Jenny Dell asked the same question twice. She's cute, but she should have asked for some help. The second question should have been, "Did you realize that Bill Belichick owns Norv Turner when you hired him?"

 

[Saint Pat]

Defense and special team carrying the offense, like the good old days.

Yeah this is what we have to bite our nails about. I have a picture in my head of Brady yelling "60 minutes" in my head...

Of course, fans hereabouts probably claim he thought he was going to miss the big expose Morely Sefer did on a pharmaceutical company...

 

[Rob0729]

I hope Dobson put some big numbers in the second half to outplay Patterson

He isn't getting as many reps as he should because of the six man o-line.

 

[DarrylS]

Keep on playing hard... all phases light years better than last week...

Bart Scott is an analyst ???

 

[Triumph]

OT Moreno out of the Bills game

 

[Ivan]

Has the special teams rebounded or what.

The team has rebounded, really good showing in the first half, now it's time to put a dagger in them and put up 7. I want to see some killer instinct. I want the Patriots to beat them so badly that Dennis and Callahate cry about them running it up tomorrow morning.

 

[JackBauer]

So far the OL has showed up, and that was my main worry. If they hold up in the second half, it'll go a long way toward addressing the concerns for this team. the run D still looks suspect, but if that's the team's biggest weakness, then that's manageable.

It is against their second stringer, but the Vikes are only putting up 2.7 YPC on the ground.

Yes and thinks rex Ryan is a top 5 hc in the league

 

[Rob0729]

Wow! New Orleans look like they may be heading to 0-2. I thought they were overrated this year and that I thought that the Falcons would be the surprise winners of the NFC South, but I didn't think they would look this bad vs. the Browns.

True, but they seem to be getting good push. I attribute the low YPC primarily to Asiata not being good and also the LBs being excellent in run support so far. Mayo is officially back, he was probably the bright spot on defense last week, and he's been fantastic in the first half.

Anyone who claims that he's not an elite LB, not an impact player, or whatever else, just needs to watch the first half of this game on repeat until they learn the error of their ways.

Don't you mean ANALyst?

Well, he certainly puts the anal in it. . . .

He picked the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this year.

Yes, sir.

 

[Ivan]

I suppose there are certain advantages to playing your starters on special teams.

Lmao, that's exactly what I was thinking during the return.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

AJ Jenkins was still available when BB picked Jones. We could have had a real playmaker.

 

[reflexblue]

its kind of funny reading the comments that were posted during the beginning of the game, then reading the last couple of pages at the end of the thread

its 16-10. Still winnable. Its the browns after all. But no one will call out brees but when brady has a bad Q its his eroding skills.
