Official Game Day Thread- Week 7....Falcons @ Pats

[mosi]

Run the rock. Punish the small/speedy LBs. Play keep away. Protect the D?

I think that would be a good plan but Josh gets impatient and abandons the run.

Still think the Falcons will fill the middle and force Brady to throw out routes. The O-line needs to give him time.

A few OT thoughts...

OMG we need to be able to do 4 or so straight goal line stands like the Giants early on. That was inspirational if you watched that game. But after doing that we should probably not lose the game 24-7 like the Giants did.

Secondly: I might be calling the Falcons "The Saviors" tonight by mistake. Let he who has ears to hear understand, as the "last" button on my remote gets a work-out.

Regarding to playing well in the box: Was it Sasha that they locked in and she took the pill, then burst out all Zombified at their destination (but to no effect?) That's playing well in the box. Just couldn't convert.

Ditto any O-line description having to do with "playing in a phone booth." Do millennials actually know what a phone booth is? Just asking. Like Dr. Who, but not bigger on the inside.

Nobody's a world-beater right now. All we want to be right now is Atlanta-beaters. We're flawed, they're flawed, etc. Let's see a first 3 quarters a little more Patriots-like than the beginning of that SB!

Nah. I think we spread the field, throw to set up the run.
Staying in the field is useless if it doesn't produce points because it cuts down our possession too.

I expect more aggressive d tonight even if just on 3td down.
Predict 12 falcon drives 2 end by sack 1 by turnover 4 scores (2 TD 2 Fg).

Oh f**k off with that Brady just throws it up to Gronk hoping for PI. That's horseshit

For the second straight week, Johnson Bademosi (Johnny B. Bad), not Jonathan Jones, is lining up with the Patriots' starting defense

I like it!!!

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Johnny B. Bad should stick

Yeah, I've been impressed with what i've seen so far, I know it's a small sampling, but I think he has some good potential.

Patriots' starting D in warmups: Hightower, Flowers, Brown, Guy, Wise, Harris, Van Noy, Chung, McCourty, Butler, Bademosi

Wow, Harris starting is a surprise

 

[bormio]

Jordan Richards on Julio Jones - hold me.

Will be interesting to follow. The more tape of him is out there the more weaknesses will be found. If he can be competent even we picked on it would be a success already.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

If the falcons win the coin toss i expect them to receive. Same for the pats.

Well I mean if you go into a game with depleted DBs you gotta let the emergency backups have some practice snaps.

I just meant the name

That's if we play 43 which won't be a lot I suspect.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Anyone watching this Julio interview, did I hear them keep in the part of interview where he said “smear the queer”? Man, nowadays I wouldn’t expect that to make it live.

 

[Froob]

Lol who said that? There’s no excuse for a defender not holding Gronk all the way. Coaches should legit be pissed if they don’t. It’s so rarely called you’d be silly not to.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

btw on the subject of the secondary - random pre-game hopeful thought: "Scrap" remembers why/that he's special (after the shot of "controversial" confidence), and plays consistently at a high level tonight. Fingers crossed for that. That, and no more freaking injuries.

Yeah I'm sure we will put a safety playing as the 5th corner mtm on the best wr in the NFL with no help.
Sounds like belichick.
