Today In Patriots History Fun Pats Thanksgiving game in 2010

[sb1]

Vs Lions in 2010

Full game :


Pats trailed 14-3 with 2 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. 17-10 at the half. Tied 24-24 at the end of 3 quarters. Final: Pats 45 Lions 24.

Alphonso Smith finger wagged Brady after a pick then things went very badly for him after that. Lol

 

[sb1]

Sigh.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

That was a fun team. Straight up destroyed everyone in their path in the 2nd half of the season. They beat each of the teams that wound up in the final 4. Just unfortunate they pulled a stinker rd 2

I thought I remembered Smith being released after the game but that was a Dolphins corner that took a bad route to Welker and let him take it 99 yards for a TD in a different game.

The first half was awful, Pats had no energy.
Stafford was hurt, I believe it was Shaun Hill who played QB for the Leos and they were definitely the better team for a good chunk of the game, then the Pats turned it on and ran away with it.
It was a weird, ugly game.

I remember Calvin Johnson was doing Calvin Johnson things in that game.

I had more than a few adult beverages, so I don't remember the specifics of the game near as well as when I watch on tv.
My sister got us tix for my bday (she's a Lions fan).
We got down there very early for the tailgate, rest is somewhat blurry

Long haired Tom Brady struggled in the postseason. As soon as he went back to his normal cut, things began to change.

Yeah, the poor sap who got punked by Welkah was Benny Sapp.

Smith didn't get cut after that game, but he did get benched IIRC.

Belichick traded for Branch just a few weeks before this game. Branch had 2 second half touchdowns to help us turn this one into a blowout.

I guess Vrabel did learn a few things from Bill about coaching. Like getting your players backs.

PS: be careful NAPOLian might revoke your mod card for putting Bill on the main page.

Suh was such a piece of garbage, dirty player. Lucky he was able to ride Brady’s coattails to a championship with the Bucs before he retired. He was the only reason for me to root against the Lions in those days. Glad the Pats beat them, I remember that Thanksgiving game. Deion Branch’s touchdown. Honestly that whole Pats season was fun, aside from how it ended of course.
