Official Game Day Thread- Week 2 Pats @ Saints

[WhoaDirty]

I'm finding Romo a bit over-excitable sometimes, but otherwise he is doing really well, conveying excellent knowledge of the game combined with a bit of humour.

Surprised Cooks isn't doing more. I thought this would be his game.

He just got wide open for a TD

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Would like to see them get Cooks involved more but great offense otherwise.

 

[stcjones]

TD PATRIOTS!!!! Gilleslie!!!

 

[VectorPrime]

So the Chiefs offense has reverted back to form and have only scored 3 points in the entire first half.

 

[Froob]

Brees should have gotten out of NOLA if they won't get rid of Loomis, he can't draft or sign defense worth ****.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Solder has regressed this year.

Now let's see if this defense can get a stop before the half

I totally called that Philly upset, it's only fitting to have a let down at home.

I don't love what I've seen from the defense, but I suppose it's fair to ask this. How often do we face a QB as good as Brees? He may be tougher than any QB we faced last year.

Yeah, exactly! We can't expect a shut out every week. One must consider the competition, and this week the competition is Drew Brees and company on their home field which is a dome. Not many tougher tasks defensively than that. 13 points near the half is pretty good.

 

[Tony2046]

Definitely a fair point.

Brees got big plays against the Vikings D as well.

 

[BobDigital]

Anyone else liking Romo a lot in the booth? Just said Do you Job

I think he is doing great.

Also can we take a moment to give Sean Payton props on that call to try to get a jump on 4th and 3 as opposed to taking the 3? I think that was an incredibly smart play.

Basically a 95% chance to make a FG from that spot so you take a 5% chance to lose 3 points for probably higher than that to get more. A very BB like move considering how he can't depend on his D here.

Would have been a TD to Cooks if Solder could protect

Well to be fair the Saints aren't grabbing him left and right either. The Chiefs took their shot and won.

Won't happen that way again.

Reid had 12828474 days to prepare for the Pats, but only 10 to prepare for the Eagles.

Solder has regressed this year.

Solder having a real tough 1st half!!!

 

[patfanken]

Interesting . I was wondering why Coleman was SO wide open. Was it a miscommunication? Was it a bad read? Or what. Well it looks like the Staints have taken the pick play to new heights with the "down field pick". Not a penalty, but simplay a great play design.

It will be interesting to see what the Pats can do to defend it......if they can do anything at all on the fly.

He's good but isn't our secondary supposed to be a strength?

 

[stcjones]

Solder has regressed this year.

Yes sir

 

[BobDigital]

He just got wide open for a TD

I also mean i thought they would feed him more vs his old team. It isn't just him of course.
