Game Day Thread Official pregame TNF thread: Pats @ Falcons

[PScottman]

This speaks to Belichick's ability to gameplan and prepare a team efficiently compared to most NFL head coaches

Good post. I'll go further that the vanilla, fundamentally sound early season conservatism can also help on a short week - cant install a full "new" gameplan or scheme so you concentrate on fundamentally sound techniques with a lot fewer new installs. Don't overfill the mental aspect adding stress.

Pick out what you do well and instead of trying to out-scheme you preach out-fundamental because the likelihood is your opponent doesnt have the ability to fully game plan/practice/walkthrough you like normal either.

Pitts is going to be a really tough matchup for us.

With Ridley and Patterson out, I think that Pitts draws JC Jackson most of the game. Mills and Bryant should be able to handle Gage/Zaccheus/Sharpe/Darby. Dugger/Phillips/DMac will see Hurst, Gallman, Davis.

I think that the Pats D-lines should have a field day with the Falcons' O-line. Dallas got plenty of pressure on Ryan/Rosen leading to 3 interceptions.

 

[PScottman]

He is a rookie so I doubt it, but do they try to use JJ Williams or Phillips or Duggar on an island?

They've been alternating with zone looks over/under and man with safety help when they double and then other times whacking TEs and good WRs with the LB before dropping into the zone. I don't see that changing and when they've gone single man, it's either McCourty or Phillips who both are good man coverage against TEs.

 

[DaBruinz]

Hopefully the Patriots will take Atlanta seriously. I'm pretty sure the Pats will win but any given Sunday......

I don't think that is going to be an issue based on BB's Locker-room speech. By the sounds of it, he had assignments for the players for that night.

For week 12

This has the makings of a tragic trap game.

we must play up to our potential and be the more physical team.

Lol the NFL not flexing the Titans Pats game in two weeks. Instead, they want to roll with Browns Ravens on SNF which is fine. But MNF with Seattle and Washington?

Former player vs Coach. Two winning teams. This is why MNF has sucked for years. Get it together NFL!

People are going to be traveling home that day from Thanksgiving weekend...they think more people will watch during the Sunday early slot.
