The Official Patriots vs Raiders Game Thread

[Brady6]

2:57 for another TD.

He cannot until the start of the new league year in 2015.

For all the crap the defense has been getting today in this thread, the Raiders don't even have a 100 yards and only crossed the 50 yard line once in four drives.

Correction, they have 109 yards. Maybe I am wrong, the Raiders moved the ball at will in the first half.

God.. this thread really is a toxic hellstew of idiocy..

I used to troll the gameday threads until I quickly realized how silly they get. Posting in them is just for kicks and giggles.

time for a late dinner! if you smell herring, that's me.

Patricias beard needs it own twitter account.

 

[Froob]

Raiders offense only has 3 pts to show for it despite apparently moving the ball up and down the field.

 

[buile]

Again, I'm stuck to just radio today... is Thompkins in?? He usually comes up with some key 3rd down grabs...

 

[Haley]

God Solder pretty much fell over from 1 push on that last play. Our oline is just scary.

 

[JackBauer]

I love Edelman, but diversifying this passing offense is a top priority.

 

[mikey m]

Brandon LaFell has been targeted 9 times this season, he has 1 catch for 4 yards.

Proof Newton is a top 5 qb?

 

[Archeryaddict12]

There is no wide receiving corps...there is only Edelman...

Their is a receiving core that is good, but when Tom needs 6 OL on the field how can he have faith to go through his progressions to other receivers. Plus I don't know if lafell is always in the right spot, so does Tom take a chance to maybe turn the ball over or end a drive, or keep drives alive. Either way fans are gonna b*tch

 

[Rob0729]

Raiders offense only has 3 pts to show for it despite apparently moving the ball up and down the field.

And only have 109 yards and crossed midfield once this game. Carr and the Raiders' offense have been eating the Pats' alive.

 

[Brady6]

I would like Tom to light a fire under lafells and the olines butt. Because Tom can't just rely on Edelman being in the correct spot

You cannot put it on Brady, the receivers other than Edelman are just not getting open.

Great play call and run by Ridley

 

[PatriotsInGA]

Ridley is a man possessed this year. Runs so hard

 

[BobDigital]

GRONK pushing DBs around. I love it.

 

[Whitt25]

For all the crap the defense has been getting today in this thread, the Raiders don't even have a 100 yards and only crossed the 50 yard line once in four drives.

The complaints were more because -- at least at first -- our offense couldn't stay on the field, while Raiders just kept converting on 3rd downs against our hyped defense. We expected them to go 3 and out much faster than our offense.

Ridley running well today!!!!

 

[Ozymandias]

Dobson being scratched is not that ridiculous if you think about it objectively. Disappointing as it is, the Raiders have two significant weaknesses on defense - their run D and pass D in their secondary. The gameplan called for a more run based attack. For all the flack LaFell gets, he's one heck of a blocker and his prowess in that area was more important for a run-based attack-style gameplan.

Brady to Gronk - awesome

Brady did not miss on that one

Gronk is a beast

 

[English Patriot]

Love Gronk dropping the shoulder there
