Official Game Day Thread - Week 8....Chargers @ Pats

[Kdo5]

It may not come back to haunt them today or against that high school offense in Denver. Its definitely going to bite them against elite teams like Oakland and Pittsburgh. I'd definitely consider creating a wildcat type offense like Miami years ago.

**** no I want the ball in Brady's hand every time.

 

[PWRxWLF]

No idea how he's doing it with his son back on chemo.

Agreed. Have no idea how he manages to suit it up and play out there everyday. I know it’s what he gets paid to do for a living, but the game is emotional enough as it is. Play good, or play bad, that man has all the respect in the world from me.

 

[BradyFTW!]

So after seeing the Gordon touchdown a few times, I think we can reasonably conclude that it was primarily on Harmon and Marsh. I like Harmon, but he takes inexplicably bad angles sometime, and he went inside even as Gordon was breaking outside. Big mistake that likely cost us 7 points.

This team is garbage in the Red Zone. Has to be one of the worst in the league. Denver might hold us to single digits in two weeks. Keep pretending McDaniels isn't a joke. He's had the talent on the field to make up for his complete lack of ability in the past. Not so much this year with all the injuries and personnel mistakes in the offseason.

I believe we are 16th in TD%

Overreaction. Yeah the red zone scoring hasn't been very good recently but you take it too far.

No love lost for Faulk... he was incredible too. Just love White's receiving skills. But yeah, you could be right, certainly.

Faulk had seasons of being clutch.
White is on that track. Needs to continue.

Faulk was as good a receiver as White, a better runner, and one of the best pass protecting running backs to ever play. White's had a couple good seasons and is a very good player, but Faulk did what he did for a decade. The only specialist RB who's comparable to Faulk in the last two decades is Sproles.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

The Chargers must be dead to Fouts, he's been surprisingly neutral today.

He's trying extra hard to be neutral today. Must post on patsfans or something. I was surprised he took the stand earlier that the Chargers defender got away with PI on Gronk

Honestly have you ever been right about anything?

 

[FourierSeries]

So many suicidal idiots in this thread as a result of NE only having an 8 point lead. Imagine if they were losing...

 

[Betterthanmost]

Hmmm..., they are saying we have solved our kasper problem? By kasper problem, I mean the situation where WRs/RB/TE are left wide opened in a different zip code than our secondary? I don't think so, we have just lucked out. If Hammond was letting the world know that the defense has been stripped to the bare min and that communication could not be any more simply, then I think the problem is still there but just not dressed for the game.
With High out, I am glad BB went with the group that communicates better. We just have to get the right players on D to contain the right side.

 

[NG Pats Fan]

This is where Allen's incompetence and Edelman's absence really hurt our team... another Red Zone Field Goal

I don't care if I get 25 dislikes...Allen is absolute garbage

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Rivers hasn't been touch by our defensive line yet. No pass rush whatsoever.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I guess it takes ones mind off of it but spending 12+ hours at the stadium one day knowing you are going to Dana Farber the next day and having that cut into prep for the game must be emotionally exhausting.

I'm not complaining about Solder again this year.

 

[moejr]

We're winning the game and people are still complaining. To expect a TD every time is not giving the other team any credit. We're not gonna get a TD every time. We're getting points which is good. Could we be better in the RZ? Yes but it isn't like we're sucking wind down there

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Guy has been basically a dead corpse on this team.

 

[BradyFTW!]

1 TD in 3 red zone trips is not a disaster. It's not ideal, but it's not bad and not really worth excessive concern for a team that gets into the red zone so routinely.

 

[Tony2046]

Allen is awesome.

Glug glug glug

Drinking game rules.

Post from the Chargers forum:

Pats are wusses who game the system, flat out cheat and use the refs biases to win games.

This isn't football you're watching.

Our special teams needs to be smarter.

Mike Lombardi mentioned this last week that the Patriots are not capitailizing in the Red zone. They are getting field goal instead of TD. So far they 1 for 3 today.
