Patriots Pregame Thread Week 6: Pats @ Saints

[patriotsdynasty12189]

If you want me to get excited for this season, win this game by at least two scores.

34-13 Pats

 

[State]

The Saints also don’t turn the ball over. I think I saw something that said they’ve only given up 3 times all season, but they’re pretty good at causing turnovers. I believe they’re plus 5 in turnover differential (causing 8..) Regardless of their record, we must play mistake free football.

Doesn’t help as much when their special teams play is the worst in the league.

Spencer Rattler is a little wiener with a cannon for an arm. But he’s not going to be able to see over Barmore.

The same was said of the Bills heading into the Pats game. Look what happened there.


I agree that the Pats must play well. There will always be mistakes. They overcame them against Buffalo. They just need to make fewer than the Saints do.

I think the point was that there have been 2 practice squad elevations for every game this year, so elevating 2 today is the same as the first 5 games. With Gibson on IR we have 52 on the game day roster, so there is 1 less person to make inactive, so Chism is more likely. But we had a 52 man roster previously waiting for Tavai, so I am not sure tomorrow is much different than the previous games.

You are right, if 0 or 1 players were elevated from the practice squad that would make it more likely that Chism would be elevated, but the Pats seem to elevate the max of 2 every game.

The Pats didn't elevate anyone for the Buffalo game.

The Pats also have 3 guys of that 54 who have been downgraded to "OUT" already. The 3rd QB is Devito. So, that leaves 2 guys who won't be playing.

I expect that Caeden Wallace and one of either Durden or Gregory or Pharms to be the the inactives.

Interesting that my MSN feed fed me a Pats article that mentioned our only draft disappointment, Braydon Swinson, who is currently on the PS. In it his position coach stated that Swinson has recently made great strides in his game and is showing in practice the potential they thought he had when they drafted him in the 5th and thought they go a steal.

So maybe it's him and not Ponder that will get the call up? At any rate it was nice to see something positive about what looked to be our only miss of this 2025 draft class

@patfanken - Ponder is on the 53 already. The choices for elevation were Truman Jones or Swinson. The Pats elevated Jones. It was announced Friday.

Seems like people get their wires crossed on what an 'elevation' is. Some seem to think this means being 'elevated' to the 46-man game day roster when that player is usually a game day inactive, but in reality it means literally being elevated from the practice squad temporarily for the game.

Wish this was still a late game. Would have been better for my schedule. We have an event today during the 2nd half. Ugh

 

[Wozzy]

We just need the Pats to play better, more mistake free than last week.

That should be plenty to beat the Saints.

Too bad Milton Williams is unlikely to play today. Barmore may have a big game and this is an opportunity for Keion White to have a good game. And on the Saints rushing defense, they are 20th in yards allowed and 19th in rushing TDs allowed. Nothing special there.

Keion’s inactive.

Pop better hope Chism doesn’t see snaps on offense

 

[goheels22002]

Great! Both Milton Williams and Christian Gonzalez are active today.

 

[Ross12]

Jennings and White both being out, and Chaisson maybe still being a little hurt, could end up being an issue

On the other hand, I hope the Chiz gets lots of snaps...
