Nice 24 points in the half

 

[DefenseRules]

NICE!!! This is a nice way to end the half. Could have been 7 if not for the stupid penalties, but I will take the 3 points.

 

[Saint Pat]

Penalty took away TD.

 

[Mark12]

Surprised they didn't target Gronk's knees on the last two catches.

Not everyone is a dirty piece of **** like Ward

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

LOL @ this jets fan.....you mad?

Cheatriots are jersey tackling, not blocking... Its a travesty what they get away with. Fahq the Kraft/Goodell relationship and how it effects the league.
They aren't the best team in football. They aren't the most talented. They get away with more AND they're smug about it. They act like assh°|es when they know they just got away with something.
I hate em... I fahqn hate em

We need to clean up the penalties ASAP.

I say keep playing the way theyre playing. They can think about penalties after the game... except for that LaFell false start... :-/ no excuse for that.

The flags have all gone against the Pats. Nothing is being thrown against the Lions.

after what ive seen that seems incomprehensible.

 

[patriot lifer]

usually you don't have to worry about an opposing team scoring points with 40 seconds left, lol. a testament to the Pats (although they did have some crappy plays), as well as the NFL rules today. hey i'm not complaining

 

[TBR]

Another safety takes a shot at Gronk's knee. He's getting super adept at jumping/spinning out of these

Honestly, it didn't look nearly as blatant as TJ Ward's attempts, or that one guy on the Bengals

 

[Galeb]

If the refs weren't calling ticky tack crap on the Pats while letting the Lions get away with much worse, the Pats would be up by 30+ right now.

 

[English Patriot]

Seriously if you are Brady, why the hell would you even think about retiring? You get to do all this, play with Gronk, you got a guy on the other side of the ball as elite as you are in Revis and not to mention BB.

Jimmy G is going to be sitting and waiting for a LONG time IMO

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Gronk...

 

[Brewskies]

Who would have thought Pats 24-6 at half time.

I had the pats at 27 total, I don't know what I am doing.

 

[patchick]

The most impressive thing about that half of football is that I don't think the Lions are "frauds." They have a quality team, and a ferocious DL. The Patriots were just that much better.

 

[TomPatriot]

Lions are confused and tired and reeling. But they are a good second half team, especially on O. They might make it a game yet.

 

[TBR]

Refs were trying so hard to keep this a close game

Hopefully they lay off in the 2nd half

 

[SVN]

Felger : Stafford shouldve had 2 TDs. His analysis .

 

[patsinthesnow]

This type of defense would've stopped the 2010-2012 offenses. This group is special

 

[reflexblue]

DO the refs have $$$$ on Detroit?

maybe the commish wants to bring them back to the pack to give pay-a-ton a chance

 

[jays52]

Got a feeling he's practising them.

Bones posted a pic of his brother and Gronk on his IG this summer at Jackson-Winklejohn. It wouldn't surpise me at all if Gronk is getting some coaching from MMA guys on defending singles.
