[UGAPatsfan]

3rd down D has been brutal

 

[RobertWeathers]

We need a TD here.... otherwise this game thread is in danger of a meltdown.

What's changed?

 

[Ross12]

Nothing about the defense aside from Butler’s struggles have suggested that they have looked poor, at least in my opinion.

They have been closer to good than to bad, I think.

Seems like 90% or more of their offense all night has been Sanders burning Butler over and over. They’ve barely done anything otherwise.

 

[MoreBellhorn]

Really not trying to be an *******, but how is that catch any different than Gronk's? I know they were ruled differently on the field, but seriously?

 

[Kdo5]

Butler can't cover Sanders. Who use to cover Sanders? Was it Logan? Put Butler on 88 instead.

Logan Ryan covered DT if I recall.

Pats have this game sealed.

It's over.

Done deal

More than Atlanta over the pats

Cause if the pats give up over 30 points to the Broncos while not scoring in the second half than kiss Superbowl hopes good bye

Run D was not very good during that drive

 

[WhoaDirty]

How is that a completed catch and Gronks wasn't.

Because it was originally called a TD.

 

[PatriotReign]

That lucky tip catch is the only reason these damn donkeys are still hanging around. Pass rush has been disappointing though.

 

[TBR]

That was a ****ty defensive series. Only good news is that it took them 7 minutes to score.

And a fluke catch. Although that doesn't excuse the rest of the drive.

 

[supafly]

Butler can't cover Sanders. Who use to cover Sanders? Was it Logan? Put Butler on 88 instead.

I’m guessing that Butler has more speed and shiftiness than Gilmore, which is why he’s matched up on Sanders and Gilmore is on DT.

 

[Ring 6]

Cause he is too small to take a big pounding and when healthy he changes the Patriots offense.

He’s an nfl rb. If he needs 25 touches for us to win he should get them.
But his role is minor so he wouldn’t getvtjem any way.
But he would be the guy in there tonight running out the clock if we are up 3 scores in the 4th.

 

[deroc5050]

We are alright even just a FG should seal the win.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Defense is making Brock Osweiler look like a good quarterback. Let that sink in for a second.

Well it reassurected cam newton from the dead, made Alex Smith look like joe Montana, and allowed Winston and mcknown career days.

This defense gives up a lot of yardage...

What makes or breaks this defense is the amount of points they give up.

One day, I would love for BB to adopt a more playmaking style of aggressive D...especially upfront. No pressure on the qb. But what works works.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Not sure I can agree with that.

If not for the fluke catch on the deflected pass on 3rd and long to open this half that's a 3 and out.

I actually think the defense has been pretty good tonight save for a few too many big plays as a result of getting beat man to man..primarily by Sanders on Butler. That and CJ Anderson getting some good yardage on the ground have been the primary areas that need to be shored up.

Yeah they got a fluke play but then we couldn't do anything to stop them. That's on us

 

[fnordcircle]

I was pretty annoyed with that floater because that had dagger written all over it and when they caught it I felt like it might give them some life.

Obviously up by 2 scores we're still in great shape but I really don't want to see a 3 and out here. I'd prefer this not turn into an actual game. I'm not asking for a score but let's change field position at least.

 

[Pats2000]

Yeah, he was a high round draft pick that we traded up for in 2006, but he was cut after ‘07, and finished his career as a Bronco in ‘08. We’re getting old, dude.

That's crazy, I thought he was going to be something too, when his first professional completion was for a 30 yard TD

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Broncos big WRs making good individual plays. Butler with a couple of tricked out of his shoes moments but otherwise Bronco WRs making great individual efforts.

 

[Ring 6]

I’m guessing that Butler has more speed and shiftiness than Gilmore, which is why he’s matched up on Sanders and Gilmore is on DT.

Butler is too small for Thomas. That’s why Gilmore has to be on Thomas and can’t be on sanders.
