Looks pretty decent. I think they will surprise if Brady throws accurate passes.

 

[libra957]

As long as the creativity team for the offense is active we should get by.

 

[SBLIII]

Evidently, yes.

Stunning.

 

[Patstastic]

To me this is a game you absolutely must win. Especially with what's ahead the next two weeks. Lose today and there's a very good possibility we are playing on WC Weekend. Win and we can afford losses to Texans and Chiefs. At worst the 2 seed.

 

[Ross12]

Been hoping for more White for quite some time.

White and Burkhead in the backfield adjacent to Brady with Edelman and Harry wide and Watson at TE. They can run it or split the RBs out and pass it. It’s not the greatest group ever but not the worst. If they can catch Dallas in a bad personnel group and lock them into it, maybe it works well.

 

[DaBruinz]

Jackson, Jones and Williams will have their hands full with Cobb, Gallup, etc..

On offense, Need huge games from Michel, White, Burkhead. Vander Esch and Wilson being out will help this

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Well darn. Let’s still get it done boys.

Newhouse is active!
YoooHoooo

He's gonna be our blocking tightend

Don't see that however there is a good chance we need to win this game for homefield advantage. Don't see a worse seed than #2 either way.

 

[Ross12]

That Damien Harris pick looking more awesome with every Sunday...and every Sony Michel 14 carry for 34 yards effort

I expected Harris to be active today since I thought it would be a run-heavy game and the lack of active WRs would seemingly clear a spot for him, but he’s still out. Not sure if that’s an issue with him or if their gameplan isn’t as run-heavy as expected.

Pats Offense trending in wrong direction last 5 games in scoring:

NYG 35
NYJ 33
CLE 27
BAL 20
PHI 17
DAL ??

Is it possible they only score 14? Can D keep Dallas under 14?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So joejuan should see some action?

Weather-wise, it was a wild morning and early afternoon here at Gillette but the conditions have settled some. There is a lighter rain but the wind isn't impacted the flag atop the goalpost.

triple team JE and leave everyone else single covered or uncovered should be the Dallas plan.

the offense scored only 21 against NYG and 20 against CLE I believe.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Looks like our defense will have to create turnovers for this offense. Ughhh. Think about it they have 3 active wideouts and two of them are rookies. I’m doubling edelman. They better try and get a running game going.

I don't see this team (How they are currently playing) beating Houston and KC. Those teams put up points in a hurry. This team isn't built to win shootouts imo.

with Dallas having cooper, Gallup, Cobb, Zeke

 

[Ring 6]

This game is a character game for the Pats. This game is going to look more like one of those early dynasty low scoring wins (kind of like last week) than the new era Pats. I'm sure that's going to drive people nuts in this thread and we'll get a bunch of ridiculous threads during the week, especially if they lose, but I'm looking forward to a grind it out game.

Win 2-0, 79-0 or 79-78 it’s all the same to me.
