Do you have faith in Jacoby Brissett winning us at least one of the next 2 games?

[VectorPrime]

Everything is in the thread title.

We already have 2 wins which is what most of us had hoped we'd have after 4 weeks. Well now we are in position to do even better but Jimmy getting hurt throws everything off. I really would love for us to get at least a third win before Brady comes back, and against the Texans and Bills at home I think we should be able to do it.

The defense is gonna have to play better than they did today, full stop.

 

[Kontradiction]

I like their chances against the Bills more than I do against the Texans.

 

[Dr Pain]

Yes better chance against the Bills with a longer period to prepare. Jacoby was not bad other than the fumble. The two Edleman drops were because the ball was thrown so hard. He was 6 for 9 so if they were handled he would have been 8 for 9. He had a 100.2 rating. The Defense cracked today and this is the concerning issue.

We have specualted the defense might have to win a game or two in Brady's absence-Not likely if they play like they did today again.

If Gronk is back and the Patriots chip the Texans DEs, I believe they can win. Mind you, the D will need to put up a much better performance than the rubbish they presented in the second half.

 

[yukon cornelius]

do i think the new england patriots, with the current roster that is in place and healthy, are capable of winning one of the next two games?

yes

 

[saspack]

There is a reason JB is on the team. I think he can do it. Obviously it not gonna be easy. But in BB we trust.

 

[RobertWeathers]

We're winning both.

F the world.

 

[Wheelman]

Yes

I'm down.

 

[Family]

I think he's good.

Yes maybe both.

They were good in the 1st half. They seemed to get psyched out when Garropolo went down and it became apparent that they were going to have to carry the game.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I think we win the Bills game with either Brissett or Garoppolo at QB. They're ****ing terrible.

And I think the Texans game is plenty winnable with Brissett. We'll probably be underdogs, and rightly so, but we'll have a good shot. The defense will have to play a whole hell of a lot better than it did today, but if they do their part and Butler can shut down Hopkins (which I think is in play, physically it should be a good matchup for him), there's no reason why the Pats can't win it on Thursday. Brock's been very turnover-prone so far, we'll need to capitalize on that.

 

[JMC00]

They'll run the ball down the Texans throats on Thursday, just like they were doing with Blount last year (10 car, 53 yards thru the first quarter before he got injured)

Allowed 119 yards on 19 carries to the Chiefs today

 

[SHOWTIME15]

That, and HT was out. Do you remember what the D was like when he was out last year? They seemed to lose a step.

 

[IllegalContact]

I'm still going with 4-0

Train keeps a rollin

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm down.

The D will come out pissed and embarrassed vs HOU. It'll be a tough game but they'll pull it out.

BUF sucks

 

[Peachhead]

Yes. Or more accurately I have faith in Josh McD to get him ready and to call plays that Brissett can handle. And I have faith in everyone else and all the coaches to pick up the slack.

The way the playcalling changed on a dime, and the skill the O handled everything when JimmyG went down was impressive IMO.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

This Thursday will be TOUGH...the D will have to win it IMO. But the Buffalo game he will have time to prepare.

They finish 3-1 when Brady comes back IMO

 

[RobertWeathers]

Useless fact of the year. Pats haven't had 3 different starting QBs since 1992.
