Game Day Thread The Official Patriots vs Chargers Game Thread

Solder was lucky to have Mankins to cover for his inadequacy and mistakes......as SOON AS Mankins left.....solder has been exposed......his days here are prob numbered

Not completely fair. Solder did have hiccups at the beginning of the season, but he surpassed as the season went on (much like the O-line in general). He isn't our best lineman, but i wouldn't classify him as our worst (talking starter only, of course).

Today, however, he's awful. He's being bullrushed and finesse'd over every single play

That is why there were more sacks last year than this year... stop listening to Felger et al.

 

[DaBruinz]

Brady's throw was awful, yes.

But i'm very worried about that o-line. Very poor performance, specially Solder and Wendell

Solder's performance hasn't been nearly as bad as you claim unless you chose to blindly ignore the fact that he had his head jacked back twice by Ingram on Illegal hands to the face that didn't get called..

Freeney's spin move looks good, but it actually took Freeney out of the play two out of 3 times..

We are out playing them so I think we win

LeGarrette Blount had 7 rushes on the first drive, 4 since.

So unlike Josh.

 

[kudzif]

Just different game plans. They certainly can rush the passer if the QB is not Mobil

I meant pressure on our o line.

 

[PatsWSB47]

we're gonna take the lead pretty soon

 

[Patradomous]

Tom Brady shows his age on the road.Plain and simple.
He makes mistakes and bad throws on the road he never made in his career.

 

[Ian]

brady has a noodle arm!! time for the JAG

I'll let that slide because I'd have to assume you're joking.

 

[JFK]

can we see more #29 and #34 please....Brady is getting killed out there and his throws are reflecting that...

I prefer more of 29 & 35

This is the problem. They are in love with the passing game. If they wanted to pass so much, they should have built a better O-line.

OL needs to tighten the f up.

and why aren't we running it more? Geez.

Because we are behind and McDipstick automatically abandons the run in that situation.

 

[Crononaut]

The rush caused it. It wasn't Tom forcing it. Gronk was open. Rush caused Tom to abandon mechanics, and led to int.

I agree, but I think Tom had time to get it out - it would have been a fantastic throw.

Tom seems to be more aggressive this year. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but in previous years he would have thrown that away.

 

[Kdo5]

Down one, we should reestablish the running game. I understood the need to pass once we went down 11 but we need to start running again.

Glad to see the troll back.

That's why this game is a must-win. Can't go back into Denver in January.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

He had Gronk again and just under-threw it. Crazy. Just a weak throw by Brady.

I'm just a simple lurker here. I'm following the game thread to get some other folks' perspective, but I have to say, the attitude by a lot of posters here is ridiculous. True, the Pats are not having their best game, but to hear some folks here, it's the end of the world.

Bah.

It's a game thread with a lot on the line. Emotions are high. It's a release. Not an excuse, just a reason. IMO

 

[Foxypats]

1 TD in 4 attempts in the red zone....that is bad, not Patriot football at all !

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

make a statement..now
