Let's here it for all the doom and gloomers in the game day thread.

Let's hear it for all the people slamming the O-line and not talking about receivers getting open..

Let's hear it for all the people whining about the Defense and how they never come up big..


Everyone else, feel free to post your constructive criticisms, your positive thoughts, and the legitimate gripes!!!

GO PATRIOTS!

 

[Nunchucks]

Bill is in rare press conference form, the noises he makes, my lord, get that guy a halls or something.

 

[Gronkowski123]

2nd half performance so much better.

tom/gronk ripped right through the bungles defense.

 

[Marqui]

Really excited about Eric Rowe's performance. He's going to help a ton matching up with bigger WRs. This will allow them to play more tight man coverage and win on 3rd down.

 

[long distance]

Win .. 5-1 .. no injuries .. drink now analyse later ..

Edit: guess I made mine a bit late haha

First the negatives.

OL in the first half was shaky
WRs could nto get seperation early
White seemed to have regressed in his running and couldn't power through shoe string contact this game.
Ryan looked so-so but considering he was against AJ Green who is a top 5 WR it is hard to be too negative.
D seemed to have lapses and seems to go from dominate to soft so quickly for no reason.
Gost has me concerned a bit.
No turnovers was disappointing.

Positives

STs was big today. The only bad play was the Gost extra point miss.
Gronk/Bennett got it done and look near impossible to stop.
White catching the ball is really good.
The OL really stepped up in the 2nd half and gave Brady a clean pocket and lots of time usually.
Run game with Blount was pretty consistently good.
The D made key plays usually in the key spots. The goal line stand and the safety were big.

Studs

Hightower
Branch
Butler
Roberts
Long
Gronk
Brady

Duds

Gost (wasn't horrible but not sharp)
Ryan (against Green he did okay but still)
Mason (came on well in the 2nd half but he was a lot of the problem in the first)
Andrews (same as Mason i think)

Fav plays?

King STs tackle was great.
Rowe with a key pass break up
Long with a huge play on 4th and inches
Brady pass to Gronk early on that was on the move and a soft drop in the bucket

Anytime we can win a conference game, I'm happy!!!! Thought we didn't play our best game, but a win is a win. Was happy with Blount, Rowe, Hightower, Gronk and Tom!!!!

This says all that needs to be said.

1. Start Rowe across Butler
2. Play more aggressive on D
3. Have Hightower rush the passer more with Roberts emerging at LB.

This D has so much potential. It's frustrating when they play conservative.

Offense is nearly unstoppable when Tom has time. James White has improved from last year and been a pleasant surprise. We are a few tweaks away from having a heck of a complete team.

In other news.......

Vontaze Burfict is still a piece of excrement.

 

[juny]

Crazy how NE lead at halftime even though it seemed like Cincy was clicking. The team's play came together in the 2nd half and ran away it.

+ Hightower, Roberts, Brady, Gronk
- spotty secondary, shaky OL, Gost

dirty Burfict taking out Bennett's knees, hope karma gets him later this season

 

[Marqui]

Elandon Roberts is also a revelation at LB. In Belichick's read and react scheme you need smart aggressive players, Roberts is 100% that.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Just waiting for Belichick to present Kraft with some balls.

 

[ensoul]

Second half was much better especially the offense. Defense was a mixed bag all game though.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Can't wait until Gronk feels it's time to give TFB his fashion advice!

 

[AtomicDawg]

Hmmm...

GO PATRIOTS!

You sound like you enjoy rubbing it in people's faces more than you enjoy the actual win

A true fan in every sense of the word!
