Hogan with a nice catch!

 

[Ross12]

Hogan confused. "I did that in Buffalo all the time and no one ever said anything!"

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Good pocket awarness by Jimmy. Great pass.

 

[Kdo5]

Garropolo is playing damn well.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Fantastic presence and mobility by Garoppolo. Not a great throw, but hard to ding him for it when his presence is what made it possible to begin with. Plus Hogan bailed him out anyway.

 

[Joey007]

"He's always open"

 

[AtomicDawg]

Hogan circus catch!!! 7/11 is open!

 

[patsinthesnow]

That was great pocket movement in the Hogan throw.

 

[Foxypats]

Great catch by Hogan while nearly falling.....

 

[manxman2601]

Jimmy looked just like Brady on that pass to Hogan.

 

[BobDigital]

Hogan with a nice catch!

A tad too far on that lead by Jimmy. But close enough for Hogan to make it.

 

[Saint Pat]

Hulkamania is turnt!

First half thoughts

1. I don't think we have to worry about RB - Blount looked as good as I've seen him, and Gafney looks for real. BTW- I haven't said a nice thing about James White since he was drafted, it's kind of ironic that the thing he did so well tonight was block. He still can';t run the ball though

2. The OL looked much improved. Great protection, good run blocking except for those 3 runs on the GL.

3. It is ironic that the same guys who trashed JG last week, will probably anoint him "the next great thing" this week. It was a great job by him. Most important is that he made good decisions, and it was clear that for the most part he was seeing his options beyond the first one.

4. Chris Long is going to be a plus on this defense. I'm a lot less worried about the DE's this year.

Negatives are more individual play oriented than just bad performances.

1. Dobson has to make that catch

2 I want Brown to make more of an impact at DT. He was OK, but I want more from him

 

[Ross12]

Hogan reminds me of a bigger, slightly slower Edelman.

 

[AtomicDawg]

The play action after a run heavy 1st half is paying dividends here...

 

[sevengables_2207]

Hogan confused. "I did that in Buffalo all the time and no one ever said anything!"

They mouths were too stuffed with g*d*mned snacks to talk up there.

 

[PatriotSpy]

UM guys. um...it goes without saying I love Brady but.....

what do we got here?

 

[Kdo5]

Lucked out there.

 

[BobDigital]

IDK what Jimmy was doing there. OL having a good day besides a few misses.

We need to allow Jimmy 1 bad pass a game. He is no Brady. You can live with 1 bad pick or almost pick a game. It is pretty common for starting QBs to do at least that.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Sliced his thumb cutting tape on his cleat, apparently.

Prime Brady never would have done that. Clearly he's slipping, way past his prime.
