Patriots Pregame Thread Week 4 discussion: Pats @ Niners

[sb1]

The lines right now seem to have Pats as 9.5 - 12 point underdogs in this one. Guessing it will go up as an overreaction to last night.

Our first look at Purdy. No C-Mac, Bosa banged up and there are questions about Deebo's availability right now but I guess we'll learn more Sunday.

Not expecting a W but expecting a better performance than last night. Shouldn't be too much to ask.

I would replace the second "expecting" with "would at least like to see". Even then nothing is guaranteed.

We'll maybe have a couple of Bengals type wins here and there but I doubt this is one of them. If nothing else, we need to be competitive because we weren't close to that on Thursday night.

still don’t see a w but they have to turn in a better performance or you could start seeing guys start to mail it in.

D needs to bounce back, very bad outing last night. May have been reeling from the loss of Bentley and the short week. OL obviously needs to do better , hopefully will be healthier for this one.

I hope theyre not actually planning to start maye here. Too much uncertainty. Id stick with the garbage time plan, personally would have brought him in a drive or 2 earlier in a 21-3 type game.

1-3

I expect us to cover the spread.

Purdy isn't Rodgers. It really is that simple.

3-30

I want Aiyuk to have an 0-fer, which means prepare to have him go 8rec 146yds 2TDs, although on second thought, I think Gonzo by his standards had his 1st horrendous game as a pro (30 routes, 4rec, 25yds, 1TD), which means he's gonna play with extra fire to atone for his sins.

Deebo I believe is out for a few games. He has a calf strain. Ayuik, the RB and Kittle are thier play makers. Also Jennings is pretty good too. The DBs are going to have to step up play like I know they can.. stop giving up plays over the middle.. if Purdy carves us up.then this defense isn't what I thought they were.

Extra rest will help. Not expecting a win, just want to see a bit more fight. Also, if Stevenson could go the entire game without dropping the ball, I'd appreciate it.

SF is down some big pieces on offense. A hard fought win wouldn't be off the table.

He hasn't been putting up much lately.. I'm also am starting to think is the SF defense overrated? I mean Sam darnaold was torching that defense. ..

Good chance to see what purdy can do without an all star cast ( he does still have aiyuk and jennings i believe unless hes injured too).

I trust gonzo to limit aiyuk but hopefully the rest dont get carved up like last night

Might want to have an ambulance locked and loaded for the qb. There may be a casualty of the o line maintains either level of suckitude.

Yes.. Wilson made a few plays but gonzo kept him at bay mainly.. yeah.. it's becoming hard to see Marcus and Jon struggle with teams #2 and #3 I mean are some point make a play on the ball. They need to pressure Purdy and force him into mistakes.

After seeing this state of this OL we should be carrying 4 qbs. Sign Zappe off the KC practice squad.

 

[signbabybrady]

I'd say we have about a %25 chance at best.

If the game plays out like Cincy or Sea it's probably 50/50 that we could wind up on the winning side.

However it's probably 50/50 wether the game plays out like that or more like NYJ.

Purdy is not Rogers so hopefully our D keeps us in this one.

49ers pass rush should be able to pad their stats and rack up sacks.

Pats have historically struggled against the Shanahan run scheme.
