The official Patriots vs Cowboys game thread

You defense haters are amazing. They play lights out most of the game and one bad drive and you act like the defense has been playing with 10 men on the field all game.

I'm not a defense hater, by a long shot. You have the wrong guy.

But I am very disappointed that with a chance potentially to pu the game close to out of reach they came up small. A seven minute drive sucks. Have we had one all year? Maybe a couple around 6:30.

Way to use those timeouts earlier

 

[ausbacker]

Just because Woodhead is back DOES not mean we should use him. Unless Green-Ellis' toe is considerably worse than we're being lead to believe, I cannot understand the lack of Law Firm use in the first half.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Good choice on running out the clock. More bad than good can happen there, let's grab the momentum back on the first possession after halftime

 

[PatsFan24]

I like to see a hail mary there

 

[Observer]

LOL! I bet you hope he gives up the game losing TD. That would be awesome for you.

I don't think he would hope for it but he probably wouldn't be surprised. And neither would I.

 

[patfanken]

Well...he definately hasn't been the same as he was by the end of last year.

THis only shows how little you know about football. Please name a SINGLE play where McCourty played his position other than what he was coached.

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

LOL! The Pats have been pressuring Romo most of the game. They have touched him because Carter has a sack unless they had Felix Jones at QB one play I didn't realize.

Must have been the first series before Fox gave me the game.

 

[Imperator]

Patriots get the ball at the start of the 3rd. An opening half, clock killing scoring drive could be just what the Defense needs to restore them to their early first half form.

 

[thenepatsrule]

not a high scoring game after all

Don't listen to that guy.Mccourty is currently playing awful it is plain to any objective person.He is the most targeted corner by opposing offenses , and there are doing this because they know their receiver will beat him.

So the Pats have one of the best offense in the league and now you are bashing them for that. It sucks that the defense gave up a seven minute TD drive, but they have been great most of the game. Let's not kill them for that when they have shutdown a very good offense for most of the first half. If they play like they did on the last drive for the rest of the game, then I will change my mind.

 

[patfanken]

I think putting Fletcher in for more reps other then Goal line would help our tackling. Man how the hell did Guyton and Chung miss Dez on the sideline.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[PatriotFan77]

yet another frustrating game to watch.

Then why bother ... do you just watch to see them win?

 

[DaBruinz]

Very lack-luster 1st half..

Defense had a couple of good stops to start the game. That last drive, though, they looked tired.. They weren't getting much push either..

Kyle Love needs to do a better job of getting his hands up..

Spikes almost had a great run blitz.. but he was in the wrong gap, again..

It was a long drive, but give to Dallas. The defense is playing really well minus tackling. We've got to clean that up in the second half.

 

[Hael]

It doesn't surprise me that Guyton wiffed, that should be Chung's tackle.

Still, thats just a great playmaker making a play. It happens!

The more troubling play was the next reception by Bryant, where he put the hurt on like 3 of our secondary before he was finally dragged down. Gotta hit him a little harder next time to at least make him ask questions about going through the middle.

not sure what you mean.

Because they used Ridley to start with.. Which wasn't a bad plan... Ridley did well running the ball.. The Pats just couldn't capitalize...
