Players of the Game - Patrick Chung and Rob Ninkovich

[DropKickFlutie]

Patrick Chung, big time difference maker on special teams with 1 blocked punt and 1 blocked field goal. Also an INT for TD, which gives him 3 big plays that all led to TD's.

Rob Ninkovich, breakout game for him with 2 interceptions and 1 sack. The naysayers are quiet tonight..

[updated after Chung int for TD].

Nope all Chung Baby!!!!!!!!

Holy sh**, Patrick Chung with an INT for TD.

Chung's 3 big plays have now led to 3 TD's. You can't impact a game as a non-offensive player more than Patrick Chung has tonight.

Nope all Chung Baby!!!!!!!!

Ninkovich didn't get 2 int's and a sack?

Ninkovich prevented the Fish from getting momentum though. Chung still had a hell of a game though.

CHUNG had a better day. He had a greater impact.

Just goes to show, theres alot more to the season to come!!!

Sure but isn't it great to get that kind of production from a former 5th round FA pick up?

Yes but Chung is barely a 2nd year player. I love that kid.

Can we just agree that both players kicked a*s tonight, and that it will be great that for the rest of this week Felger will be in absolute misery with nothing to say?

Possibly the most foolish post in HISTORY.

Ninkovich ran WILD during the 1st Half, genius.

We certainly can!! :rocker:

Great effort and tremendous execution by the ENTIRE team.

 

[jsull87]

loved the play from both. Ninko saved us on 2 drives in the 1st half and chung brought down the hammer in the second half

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I can't remember this many huge plays from the defense or special teams in a long, long, long time : )

 

[italian pat patriot]

i have seen now the game and, yes, Chung was simply awesome (also Nincovich but Chung impressed me a lot)

 

[RxJock1120]

Not to take away anything from Ninkovich BUT there is no doubt who the player of the game was CHUNG!!!!!

Well let's see GENIUS,

Plays Ninkovich made resulted in 3 points and perphaps prevented another 7.

Plays Chung made resulted in 21 points and prevented another 3.

WOW how could I not see it Chung 24 - Ninkovich 10, great post keep the gold coming!!!

Hah!! Everybody knows that Chung gets the Game Ball, but those of us with at least a rudimentary knowledge of the game understand that Ninkovich's plays ~ all TEAM plays, much like Chung's!! ~ kept us from falling 10 or 14 points behind, early, and changed the entire character of a game that the Fish had early command of.

But nobody's expecting you to grasp that concept, pal.

And how about Brandon Tate?

How often do you expect to see a win with 41 points, where Brady does not even factor into the player of the game discussion? I'm sure that is totally fine with Tom. Sit back and watch the Fins implode.

There is one way in which this game was like the good old days of dominating Patriots -- they did not just beat teams, they demoralized them and crushed their spirits.
