Game Day Thread OFFICIAL GAMEDAY: Patriots @ Cardinals Week 1

[stcjones]

In fairness tho....when is the last time Blount fumbled?! Anyone know?!

 

[Guts]

At least we still winning

 

[DOGWARZ]

Win or lose we played well on both sides. Turnovers killed us. We could be up 17-0

 

[English Patriot]

Why go soft D when the pressure was working all game long?

 

[VectorPrime]

So yeah, we should be winning this running away. F.uck

 

[patfanken]

If there was ever a game where the Pats needed to WIN the turnover battle it was this one. But think about this game if it were just even. Both AZ TD's started on the NE side of the football

 

[sambam94]

Yeah he looks terrible. Hah.

sure...go back in the thread a

Our defense has looked unreal this game. The only points Arizona has scored have been with exceptional field position.

that's when a great D has to step it up..at least hold to 3

 

[Foxypats]

I thought our d could come up with a TO but no luck yet

 

[Ring 6]

Okay, but I still don't buy it completely when his biggest games have been against teams that normally struggle against the run. If he were as good as you all say, why did he not receive a single offer on the open market in the offseason and only two the last time he hit FA? His off the field stuff has not been that bad in the NFL? I'm just refusing to be a prisoners of tonight when I've seen many more sub par performances, and I like Blount.

Every running backs best games are against teams that struggle against the run. Duh.

With the Pats? Broncos in 2013 IIRC

I like Blount (fumble notwithstanding). I think he is an average RB, nothing special. I just wanted to point out that he has been better than 2 YPC. He isn't useless, but he is by no means a top-tier starter.

no idea but it is still no excuse for what jsut happened. 10 point lead and you're running it you better hold onto the god damn ball

 

[pwes]

Whats going on with the redzone defense? We can't hold them to 3?

 

[BobDigital]

Helmet on the ball knocked it out. It is hard to blame Blount much for that. That is a forced fumbled that is worthy of the name. It is HARD to hold onto the ball when that happens and usually you don't no matter who you are.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Only reason this is a game is the fumbles at the 30+ and 40+ of AZ....

 

[Marqui]

You will lose if you can't hold onto the ball in you're own territory. That's just football 101.

 

[libra957]

At this rate we'll lose a close one, gotta put it in Jimmy's hand and hope for the best because our backs cannot be trusted.

 

[woolster22]

That was ugly, the fellas better get their **** together. Seems like they've been lackadaisical since the fg.

 

[English Patriot]

Hopefully Palmer will take his punishment very soon

 

[IllegalContact]

Unbelievable whining here given the score
