Postgame thread: Patriots defeat Panthers 10 - 3

[Deus Irae]

1. I think one question worth asking is whether or not anyone changed their minds on any specific players making the roster.
2. I think another question worth asking is whether or not there were any specific players people thought were on the bubble and played their way off their projected team.

Does anybody miss Trey Flowers?

Not really.

 

[mosey threetupu]

He’s in his way to The Head and The Heart concert.

There's something about a punishing run game and brutal defense that has me feeling all warm and fuzzy.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I think that there's a clear group at WR, and the question is going to be how deep BB decides to go at the position. I don't think there's any question about which 4 receivers are the best right now (Edelman, Gordon, Thomas (if), Dorsett), but Harry's a lock as a first rounder, and Meyers has impressed against the backups.

If they go with 6 WRs, Meyers is in. If they go with 5, I'd have to be guessing at BB's mindset about youth and potential with regards to Thomas/Dorsett/Meyers.

I see six wrs. But who is going to field punts?

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Burkhead traded to the cowboys?

 

[TheRainMaker]

So after 3 games does Mike Pennel make the team?

My opinion is no

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Did berrios play tonight?

 

[patriot1136]

Whats the injury report? King's didn't look good. I guess Ebner is ok? I couldn't fully tell what happened to D. Harris.

 

[TheRainMaker]

My opinion is no

If true, some of us would owe @Brady6 an apology for bashing his/her thread a couple of weeks ago.

Edelman has returned punts every year he's been in the league (except his lost season, of course, per an earlier respondent). I don't see anyone who's in a position to be taking that job from him, at this time.

Just listened to Brady's post game, kept on repeating "experience, decisiveness, trust." When you think of those 3 words, Jarrett is nowhere near ready to be a QB#2!

 

[robbomango]

BB's pressers always good for a laugh, his shut down demeanor, that grim death stare chiseled into his face. He definitely sends out invisible sonic shock waves to media members. I'm sure some of them would rather stick there finger in a light socked than ask a tough question...

Honestly all these reactions are typically knee jerk after one game. Myers is a great example of this. All week we'll be hearing he's too slow

Does anyone know when Edelman was a rookie how many wrs did they carry week 1?

 

[jah]

Anyone else notice a play or two where Stidham forced it to Izzo with multiple defenders covering him? Why stare that guy down specifically? I'm sure I'm nitpicking because he mostly threw it to Meyers after all.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

What is it with you people this year? It's as if agendas are all that matter

Only this year??

 

[Deus Irae]

Some good news:

Patriots WR Gunner Olszewski (head) should be good to play next week.

 

[Wheelman]

I know this is a terrible thing to say, but...a couple of times the tv showed a shot of Stidham's face in his helmet and I gave a start, certain it was Mark Sanchez. <shudder>

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. But cool that you're getting flashbacks of the Sanchize!
