Official Game Day Thread- AFC Championship..Jags @ Pats

[Deus Irae]

Yep. As are Grissom, Grigsby and Branch is not

Your issue was the WR, not Branch. I'm trying to be nice about it, so let's just note it and move on.

Someone needs to explain to me why this guy has never won an Oscar.

Ian Rapoport‏Verified account @RapSheet 1h1 hour ago
#Patriots owner Robert Kraft, on @nflnetwork, saying that he believes he can keep Tom Brady and Bill Belichick together for the foreseeable future: "Everyone has to get their egos checked in and get it together."

Sometimes I wish Bob would just keep his mouth shut. No one needs to read this kind of stuff a few hours before the championship game.

Anyways I feel pretty confident about this game. Brady will be fine. Dion, James White, Rex "thumbbreaker" Burkhead and Gronk will have big days. Patriots defense will confound Bortles. Jags will make one or two nice plays early and we'll wring hands... by the fourth quarter Pats will lead by double digits. Cheers.

Yea I don't like those comments either. No need.

Branch is gone next season.

That 500 bucks could have netted you 5 half and halfs at your local brothel house. You never cease to disappoint me.

Legal brothels are hella expensive, dude. HELLA.

Was hoping Waddle would play

Wow I thought he was. That’s it then.

Looks like my alma mater. Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory.

Why not see it as man has RJF stepped up..

Here's just some of BB praise for Dunkin' Ricky:

Agree RJF has. Seems to bring more pressure on the passer.

not watching any pre game crap..will turn tv on at 3:00. Listening to people who think they know
what they are talking about is non productive

Most of these guys know what they're talking about, like 80% of these people are former players.

Where you're getting confused is that they have a script to follow. Ever notice how NFLN almost always has someone picking each team? Especially today when it's 4 teams left. Kinda makes ya go hmmm, right?

JC, you’re a Debbie Downer.

The game is over already? “That’s it then,” because LaAdrian Waddle is out? My goodness.

 

[Ring 6]

Making homemade tomato sauce for pasta to watch the game now. Tomatoes are roasting, garlic is peeled, basil is ready.

That said I just don’t see the Pats pulling this one off. This article about how the Jags bought in a left handed punter to prepare, it really worries me. Not for the punting for the level of preparation and smarts. And if the Pats lose, with the coords gone...could be the end.

Why oh why couldn’t we have Tomlin matching wits with Belichick across from us today? What a joy that would have been.

The hand thing. Clete.

Also I thought Brady looked annoyed or tense in his walk with hand in pocket. Not as relaxed as usual imho

Joke is on them it’s a left FOOTED punter they needed to prepare for not a left handed one.

ST. Enjoy the game.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Fleming makes me nervous. Hopefully we have someone else blocking and helping him. Need to keep brady upright.

 

[fnordcircle]

ST.

Sexy thong?

 

[fnordcircle]

makes me nervous.

Odd, you're normally so even-keeled and unflappable.

Per sources, Patriots QB Tom Brady suffered a collateral ligament sprain in his right thumb, in addition to the cut. Threw well on Friday, expected to be good to go today. But that's where the concern over his functionality would've been.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Just really appreciate this team being in the AFC championship game once again. Hope all the fans just sit back and take stock in what an unbelievable ride this has been/is/will continue to be going forward.

 

[Deus Irae]

Some additional context/information: On Tom Brady, he required more than 10 stitches after sustaining a cut on the inside part of his right throwing hand near the thumb Wednesday, per source. Those at practice described a bloody scene.
