****** Patriots v. Jaguars Pre Game Thread ******

I'm running out of walls to run through, with all of these hype videos.

I think the gloves they have now are so good that it will make little difference, it could possibly even improve his grip.

I think the concern is just that Brady's ostensibly been going in raw (as it were) for his entire career, so it could throw him off just to have that small difference every play.

This is the same guy who lit up the 15-1 Steelers in the AFCCG with a severe flu, so he should be fine.

That was awesome

All the Patriot haters still have their hopes up...I'm guessing only Patriots fans will be around watching the second half of the Jags beat down.

BFL..

One plus on moving past this opponent is to no longer hear people refer to them as the “jagwires”

...the "Jag-yoo-aaahs"

Not that these are unique insights, but my take:

Jags might be one of those defense that come in all amped up and flying to start, and the GDT will be like “whoa what are we in for?” But Nobody lets teams wear themselves down like the Patriots do. At the same time, I Wouldn’t be shocked if Pats try deep on first snap; either way I expect RBs to be key, with a long TD or two between Cooks and Hogan.

Defense: patriots historically have contained QBs that they know have ability and inclination to run. Their discipline across the LOS willl frustrate the Jags.

LFG Defense!!!! Also, PatsNation wouldn’t mind 2 or 3...or 4 INTs this game . Make Blake Bortles look like Blake Bortles. They’ve been doubting you guys ALL SEASON.

Did they also bring in a left handed QB because Brady can beat them with his other hand, if necessary.

I'm not going to be seeing the game in real time. I've told all my family not to text or call me, but my phone will be locked away regardless.

I think he should wear the equivalent of a thong glove. Just enough to cover the cracks but not too much to ruin the feel.

So Drew Bledsoe called Kraft to update him on Tom's hand??

With all these media reports and hand wringing about the Jags D you would think we are playing the 85 Bears..,

Well the nerves are okay at the moment.. I imagine in the next 2 hours it will start kicking in.

Brady will do Brady things, all we have to do is limit the turnovers and we win. Our Defence will be a big factor

I'm getting so nervous. 3pm seems like forever.
