The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

Slater makes those plans so often the reality of how great a play it is goes widely unrecognized.

I hate those play calls, just get the first down.

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?"

I noticed something twice, didn't realize it was a question.

Why a deep ball when you only needed a couple of yards for a first down? What a waste.

I actually don't mind the shot their. Closer game and I say try and just pick up the first but when the defense is playing you short taking a shot isn't a bad idea considering the score.

 

[JackBauer]

This line is doing better, although Minn def line isn't as good. Wendell seems to be a weak link

Seems to be?

 

[Rob0729]

Bad play call. Go for a first down.

Nah! Edelman was open. A slightly better pass or Edelman being a bit faster and that would have been a big gain. You can't blame the play call when the receiver has a jump on the defender it should have been a catch.

 

[Brady6]

Was that Edelman or Brandon Lloyd on that deep pass?

What do you mean?

 

[Mack Herron]

don't like a low % pass on 3rd.

 

[English Patriot]

Matthew 'The Beast' Slater!

Not when he's playing receiver, as a ST'er yes that nickname is appropriate.

Take the shot on second down, not third.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Nice catch by Reiss:

Mike Reiss ?@MikeReiss 1m
Vikings had 9 players on the field for that last punt return, if I counted correctly. Patriots initially kept o personnel on before switch.

 

[Saint Pat]

People wondering the play call on third down, Josh McDaniels says hi.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

I actually don't mind the shot their. Closer game and I say try and just pick up the first but when the defense is playing you short taking a shot isn't a bad idea considering the score.

And that pass was just barely off. About 2-4" off the finger tips

Could be brady called it.

 

[juny]

Seems to be?

Trying to be nice. Yeah no more Wendell or devey once stork catches up

 

[Rob0729]

Why a deep ball when you only needed a couple of yards for a first down? What a waste.

No. You are up by three scores. You got the defense expecting a short pass. The play almost worked.

 

[SVN]

Have to get a stop from this field position.

 

[English Patriot]

What do you mean?

The way Edelman dived for that looked almost like a copy of Lloyd.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Why a deep ball when you only needed a couple of yards for a first down? What a waste.

Because that's typically when they're least prepared for it. Back-breaker when it works.

 

[DefenseRules]

Come on Patricia...NO PASSIVE DEFENSE PLEASE...DIAL UP THE PASS RUSH.
