No?

Do you watch Gronk these days?

He’s slowed down significantly and every time he gets up and walks back to the huddle or sidelines he looks like my grandma

You sure your not watching Jason witten?

Well, can't say its been fun tonight. Trolls got their piece of cake they've been looking for the last 9 weeks. Congrats to the fairweather Pats fans as well as Pittsburgh/Jet crossdressers in the game day thread.

Complete mess of a game. Could pin it on so many different things. Miami defense played great for starters. Speaking of starters NE was missing a few. Brady looked off, maybe injured? Who knows?

I think they come back strong next week but must admit, I thought they would win tonight despite Gronkowski's absence/suspension and the other injuries. Too much maybe?

Didnt like the way they moved away from the run game that seemed to be working ok.

meh...this was a tough one. Hopefully everyone is back healthy next week and the game plan and QB are better.

Meh. Maybe a little reminder of their football mortality is a good thing. I think the loss against 2-11 Miami in 2004 provided that in that title run. Watch them smoke Pittsburgh next week.

Regards,
Chris

Solder needs to get replaced, he has to be one of the most flagged linemen on our team, he just can’t seem to be able to do it. Also Thuney has a bad game. Andrews couldn’t match up with Suh.

Anyways the division games are always hard.
We will need to get our run game going. This was Hogan’s first game back after few weeks being off. Cooks had a bad game but you have to credit the guy that covered him all night long.
Brady had a bad game but that’s because the pressure kept coming to his face all night. The interior pocket needs to stay clean.

Xavien Howard is going to be the next Revis in this division. I remember my first game I noticed Revis. I wanted Brady to go at him and he kept making plays.

Both INTs are on more on Cooks not fighting through contact to at least prevent an INT than on Howard making a play but whatever. The fact that he didnt even touch Howard on the second INT and enabled him to run it 30 yards back is a joke.

You should turn off the computer.

Call me crazy, I was honestly impressed by the defense given that historically bad (25+ years) offensive performance on 3rd down.

That legimately could have been a 45-10 game with the 2011 defense. Holy crap what did we just watch.

We can blame injuries or whateva but this team was just awful tonight. That game against the squealers won't be a gimme if number 12 doesn't start looking like the real number 12. That's two weeks now.

 

[Joey007]

I love Tom, but can he please stop hanging his head in defeat??

I understand his emotions, but do I have to hear the "Brady whining, crying" BS all week.?

It was a bad game. By everyone.

Suck it up, kick *** next week. That's all you can do

What do you want him to do? Smile?

Regardless of the injuries going into this game or what not, Miami played a very well executed tactical game on both sides of the ball. Easier said than done, but Gase used his DL to get consistent pressure without blitzing and their defensive backs especially Howard was a beast on Cooks tonight.

On offense, they ran the ball effectively and used Landry's speed against us just like how ATL out sprinted our guys in the first half of the SB. Well played on their part.

 

[Arialgg]

Dion Lewis played well.
The mental penalties the offense committed were super gross.
Brady was very off target. It is an anomaly, so I'm guessing he's hurt/sick.
It will be nice to have a few of our defensive play makers back.
I'm a bit pissed @ Gronk right now. Having him would've been huge.
Pitt will be a whole different game. On to the Squealers.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

What do you want him to do? Smile?

yes

 

[FCB02062]

They just guaranteed themselves a night game in December in Miami next year too

 

[IcyPatriot]

Not going to panic we finish 13-3 or at worse 12-4 with a lot of adversity.

Dude........ what?

Xavien Howard is going to be the next Revis in this division. I remember my first game I noticed Revis. I wanted Brady to go at him and he kept making plays.

He looked good but I don't know about comparing him to Revis. Revis was an all time great.

Also, I wouldn't put Brandin Cooks and Hogan as the measuring sticks. They're good and Brady makes them better, but if Howard shuts down guys like Julio Jones etc. then okay.

Anyone have an opinion on whether that was blatant holding by Xavien Howard on that third down play with Cooks doing the double move? or is that allowed assuming they were within 5 yards? Howard stuck his left arm out and stopped Cooks, but not sure if that's allowed within 5 yards.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

best Pat performance of the night?

Harmon's 3Q speech . no points allowed after

only guy thats awake

 

[RIpats88]

You sure your not watching Jason witten?

wow, people are getting rediculous on this thread. Gronk, who just had 150yards last game looks slow and old now?
