Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Falcons

[Rob0729]

No Patterson is big. Back to back weeks of the opposing team's arguably best offensive weapon out. Have to take advantage.

Good luck tonight boys in blue... silver and red.

That just speaks to how mediocre the Falcons are when a gadget player who spent most of his career as a back up is your best offensive weapon. Patterson is have one of the best seasons of his career if not the best, but I don't think he would even start on a lot of teams.

Sitting out a year is rarely a good sign. Let’s hope for another Harris.

Maybe I’m wrong, but wasn’t he drafted knowing he’d be out or is that another dude ?

And then 3 in a row a week from Sunday with no Derrick Henry

The way the Pats have been playing the pass in recent weeks, that might be the game where the loss of Henry really hurts the Titans.

Man, Fox is crushing the Falcons on the 28-3 hangover. These things make me nervous.

Yeah, it's an anomaly. He's never excelled at anything outside returning kicks, and somehow this year he's been tremendous for them doing... everything.

Never heard that. Healthy and inactive. Can’t climb the depth chart.

With whom was Bill talking I wonder...?

You're thinking of McGrone.

[captain stone]

Or Harry is playing some tight end.

Jake Johnson can also take some snaps there, similar to Develin before him.

So nice to have both a QB and a defense this season. Everyone knows how inept the QB play was last year and it was but it's easy to forget the defense was almost equally as bad.

 

[long distance]

With no practice - that at least in BB NE determines much of the roster, game plan, plays etc decisions - it will be interesting to see how much of the CLE game plan spills over and how much opportunity will the new additions get.

OL - wo practice id expect going with the same 5 + Onwenu. After this game they will have plenty of time/practice to determine best OL composition going into the key/hardest 4 game stretch. Hopefully its not injuries that determine.

DL - Matty is experienced QB who understands the game but is relatively easily startled esp. w inside pressure.
Im interested to see how they distribute inside pressure and blitz calls.

TE - Jonnu travelled which should mean he will be active. But Id expect a lighter workload, instead leaving blocking to Henry (who had best blocking game on Sunday) and Harry.

RB - Harris could be a bigger factor and could start the game but id expect Mondre to take heavier workload.

yep

Dirty Sanchez just called Patricia the DC.

 

[sb1]

Man they're really hyping the Pats up.

 

[Joker]

Hi everyone!!!......Bye everyone....

 

[DaBruinz]

One of the idiots on the TV just claimed Patricia is the Pats DC... Umm.. NO. Patricia isn't the DC.

 

[Sicilian]

Dirty Sanchez just called Patricia the DC.

Can the NFL force a player who's no longer playing to enter the concussion protocol?

 

[kmac14]

Mark Sánchez just referred to Matt Patrricia as the Patriots defensive coordinator twice in a 3 minute span.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

yep

We've heard from a few #Patriots this week about what Ted Karras brings to the team from a physicality and leadership perspective. Essentially, he gives them two centers with a rookie QB and an experienced LG is stabilizing Wynn's play. Plus, he's a good player.

Onwenu is going to rotate in at right tackle and the #Patriots will likely go six OL in certain situations/matchups. He's still an ascending young player on their roster. But the coaching staff obviously feels the line is better with Karras in there at LG.

I don't like how the media is now on our side. Feels like a massive jinx.
