Official Game Day Thread- Week 3 Pats @ Lions

[SVN]

Chandler Jones sucks at the end of the season and Jamie Collins doesn’t care about football anymore.

Are we still griping about jones and collins ? We won a SB, went to another and lost in AFCCG without them already!

 

[bigballas]

i have several Chandler Jones jokes right now but unfortunately defense is no joking matter

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Dumb idea to trade Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins

Gtfo of here with the Collins talk. You keep a player who went rogue on the defensive system because he’s athletic? Just stop posting nonsense because the pats look bad tonight

Tom verse Time Season Two

 

[Redman443]

Oh god they get the ball. Brace for impact

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

How many of you guys are getting set to jump off the nearest bridge over a 10 point deficit right now? Lol

I get it, they've looked like crap most of the first half - but the last ~5 minutes of in-game time has looked a little better on both sides. Hoping for some adjustments after the half.

I like the positive reinforcement.
I need it. TY

 

[ZoisKing]

Come out of the half pumped up, and triggered plz.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Two weeks until Edelman is back!

 

[Vindicate]

I'm using this time of hardship to develop a good tight-5 I could pop off at a comedy club. So if they start doing well, I'm screwed.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Agreed but in his defense I don’t think anyone saw the drop off in athleticism from 54.

He contracted the Jerod Mayo disease.

There is no toughness in Patriots offense. The lines is getting pushed. Running back not breaking tackles

 

[PatsWSB47]

home field advantage????You are not paying attention to what this team is

You are giving up too early. We don't have our team together yet.

I feel strangely optimistic about this contest

Agree. 13-3. That is it. The Pats are still in it but the D has got to play better.

 

[bigballas]

pick one:
a) Matt Slater fly route
2) Sony Michel run

 

[bormio]

So we have to win any way we can. Ugly, lucky I don't care. We will get players back and we be good. But we need wins for home field advantage

HFA???? How about “Playoffs ...... Playoffs???”

 

[Brick27]

Can’t be understated what having Edelman back will do. Not just for what he brings as a WR, but also the way he provides a competitive consciousness and spirit that ignites this team.

That’s because the half hasn’t started yet

 

[LivinLovin&Breathin_Brady]

He only does against defenses with some talent.

Funny how this board makes fun of other teams QB’s but then they shred NE’s D.

True that.

It's about time for people to admit that the team is trash this year, until some improvements in personnel are made. The defense has been garbage for years, so I'm not even going to pretend that I'm shocked about Stafford looking like Marino, while his 'backs are looking Emitt Smith and LaDanian Tomlinson in their prime. What's bugging me is the offense, and it seems that the lack of talent at every position, but QB (and one TE) is catching up with them. WRs can't get open against even mediocre defenses, the undersized RBs are mostly there for Brady to dink and dunk to them, and the O-line is utter garbage, and Josh McDaniels is still incompetent.

I'll wait till Edelman and Gordon gets on the field before I decide to officially accept the fact that we're a one-and-done at best team in the playoffs this year, but right now... it ain't looking too hot. Fortunately for us, Detroit is playing nice and keeping us in the game. The score should be like 24 - 3 right now. I won't blow up yet though, I expected us to suck until about week 5, when Edelman gets back.

Deatrich Wise is the only one who wants to play
