Official Game Day Thread-Week 11 Pats vs Raiders in Mexico

Raiders defense lul.

I thought the extra point was bad. I need to get my eyes checked.

9/9 61 yard. Pretty low YPA. Some of that is cause of that competion for a 4 yard loss.

I wonder if either they are worried about challenging the Raiders deep or just don't feel they need to. Is the preference for today the short pass or is it just how it has worked out so far?

Yes I know they went deep but I think Brady tried that cause he knew he had the holding call.

That drive accomplished two tasks:

1. Scored 7.
2. D was off the field for 10 plus minutes. Gets them more accustomed to the thin air.

 

[Marqui]

Lewis is such a stud.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Let's try and get a nice lead.

Dweyne Allen starting to make his presence felt. Good catch to give us a third and short. Better fumble recovery

Brady literally played with the Raiders defense there.

 

[Guts]

Mexico loves the Pats you all heard those Brady chants?

People calling for Lewis being gone after this year!

BB saved Lewis for the first part of the season to keep him fresh until it came down to facing these teams.

Also happy to see Allen playing well, already a catch and a fumble recovery.

Good start.. very lucky on the fumble.

Happy that a hold on Gronk was called for once.

 

[nabwong]

That drive was pure delight.

"Brady! Brady! Brady!" chant erupts here in Mexico after Dion Lewis takes the Brady pass on opening drive and is in for the TD.

Ted Karras is lining up as the Patriots' starting center in warmups, as expected.

He looks a little bigger than Andrews. Are his feet quick?

A sentence I bet you never thought you'd write.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Lewis is such a stud.

Gotta find a way and resign him.

 

[BobDigital]

I think Rex Burkhead is too good to sit.. I mean if you get up a lot okay but IMO he is your most dynamic RB.

I make him sit the half to send a message. No excuse for that non-contact fumble.

Looks like the Pats defense wants to go light today.

My guess is that it's by design. They have no answer at all for this attack, unless they clog the short range stuff, and that will open up deep shots to Cooks and Dorsett. If the Raiders don't adjust, then this is what every single drive will look like.

Everyone knows how I coach em'! Cat like quickness!

The Bills QB today has now thrown as many picks in the first half as Tyrod did all season.
