Week 5 Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Colts

[moejr]

Pats should have destroyed them...but kept fumbling and bumbling their way thru game!!!

I am sure that will be a point BB focuses on in the coming days

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Just came back home, did not watch the game.

Saw one INT and that was a great play on Gronk.

You probably don't want to watch the other one. Of course Jones had a similar INT in the 4th quarter so it all evened out.

Ah. Maybe preface your comment next time. Haha. Both times the receiver had the ball and delivered it to the defense on a silver platter. The Hogan one was particularly bad. Gronk gets a pass; defender just made a great play.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Good win.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

What's up with all these Brady INTs?

Watch the game before spouting off.

 

[Kontradiction]

Nah. Offense looked pretty average in the second half. Bailed out by turnovers produced by the defense and a long bomb by Brady to Gordon that was a low key pretty questionable decision but showed trust.

There was nothing low key about that. It was very questionable. But if you’re going to make that throw to anyone, Gordon is the guy. He high-pointed it. And it’s also not as if Tom has never made those throws. Even in ‘07 he routinely made those types of throws to Moss.

Sony Michel accelerates into contact. He knocked two starters out of their already short Defense. If he can start being used more like White as a receiver he'll be unstoppable.

 

[Uptown]

Seriously.

 

[Spiral]

My God, McCourty can't cover anyone. He's just running around, chasing 260 lb tight ends. He's going to be targeted by every team from now on.

[Nehalem]

Good: Pats win by 14
Good/Bad: Pats played sloppy in the 2nd half. Gives BB something to hammer them about during the long week before big game against KC. Two consecutive blow outs could have led to them being complacent.

Yeah like I said it showed trust. It was not a panicked prayer into double coverage like to Dorsett a few weeks ago. So it is not like I am critizising it really.

But it was still a throw into double coverage.

Currently in the Cross Pavilion for what was supposed to be free food and drinks for season ticket holders for 75 mins after the game. The idea was you did this, in exchange for leaving later from the lots. Thing is..there is NO food or drinks, people are livid, and police are here. Stingy Bob strikes again.

Nightmare scenario was blowing this tonight then the Sox blowthis ng it to NY Friday night. Thankfully a bounce went the Pats way on that last pick...

Not worried about the O against most teams, but it looks like once teams figure out what the Pats r doing on D, it's up and down the field at will more often than not...anyway, I think we'd all take 3-2 after the Detroit game

GO PATS

 

[Betterthanmost]

I tried this James White's celebration and it is not easy to pull off. I looked more graceful than Brady though. Not by much.

If it wasn't for the strip, it was as bad of game as I can think of him playing, and I already think he's terrible. He does nothing well.

Wow, would love an update on this...very interesting

How do you know that it was Devin?

I just looked at the replay. Gordon didn't get any higher than about 6 inches off the ground at most. It was actually a bit bizarre. He's doubled and he just saunters right between the two DBs and catches it. Maybe they were so focussed on the ball they lost track of where Gordon was?

On both TDs he just got out-leveraged. Would love to hear from @AndyJohnson, @maineman209 or someone else how he was supposed to play that. Those had not much to do with his speed imo.

Something for the rewatch thread.
