Jones playing his way out of a role tonight...

 

[DaBruinz]

I wonder who decided on the "Bionic Woman" Jumpsuit Color Rush outfits for the Cheer leaders

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Take Jones off punts for now. Needs to calm down.

 

[Uptown]

holy crap....BB wont be happy with jones. put danny back there .

Jones was down. Should have held onto the ball, but he didn't fumble.

 

[pctronics0072]

Bill looked pissed, rightfully so, about the fumble.

 

[The Gr8est]

Jones might not be returning punts anymore tonight

He was down though.

 

[primetime]

Ball security? Jones got slammed into by his own guy (which was hilariously called kick catch interference) while trying to make a catch and then had a ground caused fumble. Neither was a fumble or his fault.

Solder dominated Watt on that play

Solder is a monster, he was their biggest loss last year I think. He doesn't get the cred other top-tier LTs do but he handles his business.

Can't believe anyone is complaining about anything NE is doing - they are beating a playoff-caliber team that has a lot of good really good players (including the best WR and best DLineman in the league) with a rookie QB who wasn't supposed to play until 4 years from now, if ever. They are controlling field position, playing smart, and holding a solid lead. This is how they won games for years before we started expecting 40-pt routs every week. Don't do anything stupid, outlast the other team. Need long plays by Brissett? Seriously? We need him to not turn the ball over and complete some short passes. Instead of beating them by 20 or 30, we beat 'em by 10. Win's a win, especially given circumstances.

have to get the running game going. wont win without that

 

[mikey m]

pisses me off that Hopkins was whining for a call when there was no contact at ALL

Logan grabbed his hand pretty good, veteran play by him I'd say tho. As Richard Sherman has said "when u grab hand/wrist it just looks like hand fighting", vs grabbing/turning their body which will almost certainly draw a flag

 

[stcjones]

Jones gives me a stroke every time!!

He is a bit unsteady out there....when he clean catches it and has a little room dude can be really good....but just don't feel comfortable with him back there....

 

[AtomicDawg]

MINGO! Thanks, Mingo!

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

I am not liking the looks of these at all. Doesn't even resemble our team.

My thoughts exactly since 1993!!!

 

[Betterthanmost]

Damn, Chris Harper wannabe did not help us after all.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

what the **** do they challenge?

 

[ashley]

dumb challenge

 

[SVN]

challenge ?

 

[DaBruinz]

Give Mingo some reps on defense. He deserves it. He's done well on special team.

Mingo can't be any worse than Freeny
