This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
IMHO, The Patriots have been trending upwards on defense since bottoming out against Seattle as the tweaked roster started to gel and peaked within the last 2 games.
The post Gronk offense is about to spike and peak on over the championship game and the super bowl.
The Texans game can be interpreted as a setback and reason to be concerned for the non believers but most likely it's a sign of a delayed peak:
1. While looking out of sync and unable to deal with inside pressure they still scored 27 points.
2. Brady had solid production with Edelman and Hogan and struggled when he went elsewhere. Having Mitchell take Floyd's reps and having Amendola able to shake his rust off now gives Brady 4 receivers that he can mind meld with (also white). This will take some heat off of a limited Bennett and allow him to be more productive.
3. Lewis has finally been fully assimilated into the offense. He showed how truly special that he can be against the Texans while having some ball security issues.This was his final dress rehearsal and he'll get that cleaned up.
4. Offensive line was exposed but there isn't another Clowney left and the Patriots have time to scheme adjust.
5. Having all of the pieces back will allow for more creativity and production.
Not sure what the heck this is supposed to mean, but anyone who's ever had this surgery knows damn well that you aren't coming back within 6-8 weeks. That is downright laughable. Seriously, it's completely laughable.
The fact that this is now his THIRD back surgery at a young age drives this point home even more. They've said that they're hoping for him to have a chance at full offseason workouts in the spring, which is basically 3 more full months away. Even that isn't written in stone.
Ive been looking forward to this all week. The reports of steelers fans representing well disgusts me though. #ONEMORE. Those folks in the stadium better be LOUD!
