Official Post Game Thread-Pats beat the Cowboys!!!

[Uptown]

Wow

 

[Ring 6]

Better protection. Better running . More time to throw

3rd down was the issue. Too many drives stalled in 3rd down. And too many drops. Overall they ran well, protected Brady ok, had open receivers. Much less to clean up to get it clicking.

 

[Deus Irae]

I’m glad we beat these bums. I did not want to hear skip and Shannon’s noise tomorrow

Thannon will thtill be inthithting that Tom Brady ith done.

Bertrand, Bedard are trashing Meyers on 98.5. Yes, he had a few drops, but I thought he played about as well as anyone should have realistically expected. The guy is an undrafted rookie starting against a very good team in terrible weather. What more can you expect?

 

[Biffins]

Just put biffins on ignore.
my experience here will now be so much better.

I love it when people announce who they are putting on ignore.................. instead of, you know, just putting them on ignore............. since they're trying to ignore them...............

Wow

Actually 26

Yea they had some untimely drops tonight.

don't all drives stall on 3rd down?

Mixed bag. Good job getting open, terrible job catching the football.

What’s your point?

 

[PatsBoy12]

Our OL did a pretty good job pass protecting.

Brady had good time in the pocket in a lot of his dropbacks.

Yeah. WR's struggled to get open on quite a few of those clean pockets. Hopefully, they'll be able to put it all together in the coming weeks.

 

[Biffins]

Ever hear of a block?

They were 100% confident that the clock would run for their play which was longer than 2 seconds left.

Because the biggest chance to lose is a blocked fg attempt

Way too much risk. BB doesn't care about your point spread.

I think it's too much of a risk, if it gets blocked or a bad snap and the Cowboys get a td, not worth the risk.

They were hoping to run the time off so there was no chance for another play. Whereas a fg, leads to a possible kickoff return.

Wet ball. Wet field. Long snap. That was pure playing the percentages of having something potentially go wrong with few/no defenders to stop it (blocked kick) versus eleven defenders to stop it (another "Miami miracle" scenario) with one second on the clock (given the unforeseeable ineptitude of the timekeeper).

The call was the correct one.

The spread was 6 points, right?

Might have been blocked and run back for TD....only reason

Go back to the Miami game last year...the object is to kill the clock in that situation rather than give Dallas the potential for another play

Why risk a block? Why risk a bad snap, scoop, and score?

A blocked FG could end up going the other way for a TD...

Sure. I guess. I was thinking if we knew they would get the ball back after a pass, we might as well get 7 pts ahead but you guys are right, the risk of something going wrong was too great and plus they probably thought clock would run out from the pass attempt.

We can expect him to catch the ball.

growing pains

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Why did Pats not kick a FG on the last play they had the ball instead of throwing it out of bounds. FG should have gotten the lead to 7 pts in case of any shenanigans.

The spread was 6 points, right?

 

[festy1986]

I never thought I'd again see the day where the defense dominated the season and carried the offense but this is the new reality

Great game boys.

 

[Ring 6]

Won't be around for that team but younger Patsfans might...

I’m expecting my clone to be there to witness SB championship #40.

 

[Deus Irae]

No

 

[PatsBoy12]

We can expect him to catch the ball.

Fine, then spread the criticism around because he certainly wasn't the only one dropping passes out there, nor was he the most tenured member of the receiving corp dropping passes.

 

[shmessy]

Won't be around for that team but younger Patsfans might...

And Jordan Richards will be co captain with Ross Ventrone....
