The OFFICIAL Patriots vs. Saints Post-Game Thread

[Sfpat]

And again, you're wrong. He had two outright drops that I can recall off the top of my head. One on the first drive, another on 4th and 6. May have had more that I don't immediately recall.

Dropsies for a rookie is not uncommon (witness one Jerry Rice amongst many). Dobson also made some impressive catches throughout the game. Give the guy a break. If he still has the dropsies at the end of next year, then start complaining.

The best game since the Snow Bowl? Is the magic back?

I see flashes. The team is growing with lost of kids. A win like this is a huge boost to all of them.

They just pulled off a great win with a ton of injuries and you're still kvetching about something?

I haven't seen anyone claim that he should be replaced. Even right now, he's playing top-10 QB football. He absolutely needs to be better if this team has any chance of playing in a Super Bowl, but he's got a long way to fall before replacing him becomes a discussion worth entertaining

I saw 7 or 8 say he should be replaced, people calling for Mallet. Heck there's even a thread about his demise.

suspect torn/seperated shoulder. will be out a few weeks.

Torn Labrum/Bicep = done for the year.
Separated Shoulder = out 4-6 weeks.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I think the coaching staff rates Bolden and Blount better at pass catching and pass blocking, respectively, than Ridley.

Ridley did miss at least one block that led directly to a Brady sack. It seemed like he was seen a lot less after that, as I assume that play was the reason why.

That said, I'm a little confused why he's on such a short leash. Seems like he gets pulled the instant he makes a mistake. Which sucks because he's so much better than Blount and Bolden.

Back in 2009 the local Fox affiliate started doing dancing "X-0" graphics around the time the Saints were 8-0. They started it this year at 5-0. I'm looking forward to seeing my first "5-1" dancing graphic this week.

Separated Shoulder = out 4-6 weeks.

Not if he borrows some of Ray Lewis' magic antler spray

Those in the crowd that left early should be ashamed of themselves. What a joke our home crowd is...

It's embarrassing. They don't deserve this team.

can't believe how many left at that time

trying to watch csnne for post game interviews and such but all i hear is felger ranting about what brady said to aikman about gronk being best player in practice on national tv and on and on and on....

 

[BradyFTW!]

Uhh... yes? They won, and it was a great win. Dobson also continues to drop what should be easy catches. Both points warrant discussion.

 

[Coach42]

Most satisfying team win I can remember in a while. Great job all three phases

 

[DaBruinz]

Must suck to start a thread of impending doom for your team. Way to show what a fan you are. Game day threads are sucky enough because people generally get too emotional to make rational comments during them. But you beat all starting a Debbie down/ woe is me/ lets blame whoever for the loss thread before the game is actually over. Let me state this. YOU HAVE TOM FREAKING BRADY AS YOUR QB, IT'S NEVER OVER! I said this to fellow Colts fans for years during Manning years. lol

Must suck to have no brain and not know what you are talking about. First post of the thread said nothing about doom and gloom. Neither did the 2nd. Only pointed out issues in the game. I suggest you take your head out of your own arse and realize how pathetically arrogant you sound attempting to say that my initial post was doom and gloom. People like yourself who can't be bothered with reading comprehension and have to react like total jerks are the issue.

I suggest you don't say anything to anyone going forward because you only make a fool of yourself when you do.

Blount might be better as a pass blocker, but Ridley is definitely a better pass catcher than Bolden. Bolden only seems to be able to catch colds and hamstring injuries (yes, that's an exaggeration). Guy has more drops per target than either Dobson or Thompkins.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Frusterating to watch, these wides out seem to never be on the same page as Brady.

Except last minute TD catch by Thompkins huh?!

You expect anything less from Felger?

 

[Foxypats]

I haven't read the entire thread, but wasn't it premature to start this considering they won.

Fans also need to chill a little bit, Brady might not be playing at his elite level, but considering what he has to play with and the injuries, I am willing to give him a pass from time to time.

Ridley is unquestionably the best RB we have. I don't know how people question that.
