The official Patriots vs Raiders game thread

[Joker]

wh9at the hell is it with this ref??? spots the ball runs back right into Mesko's line of sight and is still moving around as Mesko gets the ball...WTF is THAT??????? Deliberate attempt to distract?????

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Admirable effort by the defense considering the injuries. Lots of room for improvement but I'll take it for this stage of the season/this depleted.

Absolutely hate the run to Edelman on first down. Just pound the freaking ball. Mesko is awesome as well, nice to actually see some punts go inside the 20 after the dreadful Chris Hanson era.

This is Jason Campbell we are talking about...some pretty good QBs coming up in the near future

Bill o brien strikes again with a horrible series

Five out of 7 drives lead to points
Four out of 7 lead to tds
Get of his back

The Pats are up by 17 points with a little over 8 minutes left. Let's not get too excited. Barring some kind of miracle for the Raiders the game is over.

I still would have liked to see a little clock killing with our drive. It was a waste, IMO.

The Raiders offense tore up the Jets last week

Well, thank goodness Campbell's later efforts haven't been quite so on the money.

I agree

It sounds like "Situational Football" 101

 

[E1Downey]

Nice work let's see more of that

 

[thenepatsrule]

nice run by edelman

 

[SVN]

raiders are punting with down 3 scores and 6 mins to play ??

 

[robbomango]

Nice job D, balanced game so far from both sides of the ball.

 

[ausbacker]

Cue AndyJohnson and the Patriots should return to zone coverage.

What I'm looking forward to is having Haynesworth back on the line. That's our pass rush improvement. It's not a debatable point any further.

 

[PatsFanJess]

I'll take it.

Yes, let's not return to the old " it's the Raiders, they suck" line. They clearly do not suck this year.

 

[Simkin]

althought we signed and expend some money and roster space in DL rotation to keep them fresh at the end of the games, on of ours main worries last seasons,we still terrible

 

[Ron Sellers]

How many times have we seen this before:

• Last half of the 4th quarter
• Pats up by two touchdowns
• Opponent racks up some yards but Pats win
• Pats Fans freak out

 

[SVN]

i love how BJGE runs patiently ....

 

[ALP]

lets show mcfadden how smashmouth we can be when we want to close a game out.....

 

[PittPatriot]

Gotta love the clock-killin' style.

 

[E1Downey]

Yes they seem much more comfortable in the zone
