But the talking heads on my TV just said our defense can't stop their passing attack. I guess one of their guys is in the habit of breaking Randy Moss' receiving records this year, and the other, well, everything sticks to his hands. We're doooooomed!

Oh, one more thing... You Like That!!!

You know you do.

Interesting that the best 3rd down defenses are all AFC teams except MIN & CHI.

I think this is one of those season-defining games. This and the Steelers game are going to determine our destiny as far as the playoffs (barring a meltdown in any of the other games).

Vikings are better than their record. They might havce a crappy OL and Cousins makes more than his share of boneheaded mistakes, but his weapons are legit.

We realllly need to improve our RZ offense. That’s gonna be the key to our season. Creativity & execution. I believe Da Burkmeister will help in this area.

Fauria had a stat today that the RZ offense is 2% better this year than last. 62 vs 64%.

I’m interested in the WR matchups. I think Gilmore will handle Thielen as well as he can. Sure it’ll be competitive.

I’m more concerned about Diggs. I don’t think we have anyone to match up with him.

Diggs? Is Eric Rowe able to suit up?!

I’ll give Bradley Fletcher a call

Interesting stat, would be interested to see where we are.

FWiW I just read in the minniapolis star that x rhodes hamstring pull is minor and that he'll be able to play this week. That dr choa's assesment that rhodes rupured his hamstring was in-correct.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Obviously we need better playcalling than 2 straight fade routes to Gronk against the jets best player.

better execution helps too. one was almost picked, other one wasn’t really catchable

Not sure what he meant, maybe overall points. Meant to look it up but got bogged down with work.

Pats OL should have their hands full against a very solid DL with Hunter, Griffen, and Richardson.

Big plus having all five Pats starters going, another week of continuity helps.

It reminded me of throwing to Moss vs Revis for WHY???? in 2009.

What??? A doctor making a diagnosis based off tv footage is incorrect?
