Patriots Pregame Thread Patriots Chargers Sunday @ 8pm - pregame thread

[Thelonious]

For a guy who says he struggles with memes and gifs, traveling to Brazil for a "rebuttal" seems pretty topical. I'm starting to call BS on the whole clueless old man schtick.


@irishfanatic I got you, fam.

Well, it's a handy ruse from time to time.

 

[Thelonious]

Sounds like your ass is already traveling to Brazil

But my heart remains in New England.

Playoff experience is overrated. I think we win by at least 9

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Breer makes the point that Derwin James allows them to play nickel vs a heavy set - and Diggs or Douglas in the slot won't be able block him in the run game (Mack Hollins could have). He's absolutely the key to the Chargers defense,

Another thing here to mention.. was listening to some talk on ESPN leading up to this game.. analyst points out how by LAC sitting Herbert was a sign of how they view the match up against the patiots.... he also pointed out how he knows thet Vrabel is using that and the 40-7 blow out last season for added fuel..

I believe this team is hungry and wants some redemption for that beat down last year.

If the team is playing for vengeance for the defeat of the Mayo team last year, then we deserve to lose.

Vrabel is much, much more focused on this game.

I assume MJD hates the Patriots for beating the Jags in 2017 and Rams in 2018?
Key is to run the ball and dink n dunk. Don't force it

Maye lighting it up vs this Chargers D would go a long way in getting even more recognition.

 

[FCB02062]

We're at the point of analysis paralysis now. If the Patriots play their best game, they win. If they turn it over, if Maye sucks, if the defense is a sieve, if they can't run.... they'll lose. San Diego is a good team but they're not beating the Pats if the Patriots play their A game.

A half bottle of magnesium citrate will do the trick..

Maye’d for this - 113.5 passer rating (1st)
Chargers defense - 75.0 passer rating allowed (1st)


Let the games begin..

 

[Uptown]

C’mon Boutte…

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Wind is really picking up on the forecast. Hopefully we can run the ball the way we should. I feel like that matchup favors us on both sides since we’re almost full strength now on D.

They also have a kicker whos been in a dome mostly

 

[Uptown]

Hopefully we’re able to take advantage of the Chargers’ poor coverage unit on ST..

I’ve been there a few times. Let me put it this way: the quality of the food there can have the same effect as ex lax.

Vrabel is much, much more focused on this game.

Agreed. But chargers are getting all the praise. The team as added motivation should want to use that ass whooping for fuel. One of the worst loses in franchise history.

 

[FCB02062]

So if there's no Boutte they're ****ed

 

[ViperGTS]

So if there's no Boutte they're ****ed

No, they aren't. Stop.

 

[irishfanatic]

So if there's no Boutte they're ****ed

You be you
