great win, felt like vintage patriots football. got a short week coming up but as today showed, Atlanta is not a good football team.

Hoping Gunner Olszewski can play Thursday, didn't hurt us today but he seems to be the only reliable guy back there.

I'm hoping that they go the protective route with Harris. Let him have the extended time to get 100% healthy..

Only been a season but who else misses Patriots playoff football?

We may not see a better running offense, and better run defense the rest of the season. I thought we held our own against both. Even better, this is now a tie-breaker win against another team in the WC hunt. Awesome game! Really starting to love this team.

Interesting OL snaps today. Stuck with the same starting lineup, except they seemed to platoon Onwenu and Brown at RT. I'll be curious to see the final snap counts, and see if that's a sign of things to come or if it was just the simplest way to ease Brown back into action.

Trent brown is a physical specimen. Hes almost 400 lbs. its hard to get past him

Great win. Not sure there really was a negative today. Our oline dominated the entire game. Stevenson is sneaky good. He is a big back but sneaks through tiny holes better than small JJ Taylor and consistently falls forward. I'm not sure Harris would've been as effective as Stevenson was today.

Mac showed some beautiful throws today. And then Hoyer got in on the action.

I believe our offense flowed so well largely in part because we didn't have Jonnu today. We don't know how to use him and it holds back our offense imo. A lot of those plays that we used Harry to block on are usually handled by Jonnu and Jonnu is a subpar blocker.

Give Harry Jonnu's playbook, and Jonnu gets Harry's. See how it works.

i dunno know what else to say besides...

Great game, they finally put it all together, the team jelled, Mac played great, imo This day was his coming out party even though he only threw for 200 yards

That because the Pats were too busy rushing for 184 yards. Great defense and a balanced offense is the recipe for success in the NFL. Mac was deadly accurate.

Mac passer rating: 142.1
Hoyer passer rating: a perfect 158.3

QB controversy?

super important not to let down because Atlanta's a weak team

A statement win today, but its not worth any more than taking care of business against ATL

Anybody still feel like this is a terrible team?

More craziness. Detroit avoids the loss thanks to Trey Flowers forced fumble and recovery with :08 seconds remaining in OT. Steelers and Lions tie.

Give Harry Jonnu's playbook, and Jonnu gets Harry's. See how it works.

So, exchanging two blank books will accom0lish what?

Happy for Meyers finaly getting his first TD reception

There will be no let down.

This is Patriots football.

Great win, but I'll go to my grave saying Hunter Henry's 19 yard over the shoulder catch in the second wasn't a catch. The ball bounced off the ground. But I simply cannot find the close up slow motion replay.

Bill will point to any stat he can take to get some value...

Almost flawless today. Mac was just imperious. Rham looks as good as i hoped he could be. Trent Brown slotted right in. Meyers finally caught a TD. Just great
