Official Post Game Day Thread- Pats beat the Raiders!!!!!

[DaBruinz]

Wish I could see a replay of Newton's interception. It looked like he had Asiasi open for a potential big gain. I'd like to see what the rookie can do. If he hits that pass (or is accurate on the pass to Harry in the endzone), the score could have been even more lopsided.

If you listen to the Harry-Haters, Harry sucked again.. His blocking didn't do anything and a light breeze took him down. .

Not true. COVID already nailed ‘em.

The secret to success is in the organization of the non obvious.

Little things like taking a couple center snaps regularly can have big payoffs down the line.

Any organization does that with their back-up center. My high school team did that. But I do agree that it’s necessary. We saw why today.

Oh, also, Harry blocked superbly today and made the biggest catch of the game. And no, Michel doesn't suck. Maybe the boo-birds will finally just shut up on those two.

People just make up negative stuff then it echoes nearly forever here.

Of course but Thuney has not been their backup center all those years but their emergency option. Maybe this year he got upgraded to backup for now but the tweet said he has been doing it for years.

Harry with a tough run to pick up YAC, like to see that effort. So last week he held onto the ball after a viscous helmet to helmet and today he took some guys with him for a ride. I like what I'm seeing

I missed the part when the geniuses on this forum called that lineup.

You miss quite a bit, so that isn’t surprising.

So many bullsh*t memes exposed today: "Sony goes down on the first hit", "Harry isn't physical", "Belichick can't pick 2nd round DBs". Love it when the echo chamber blows up.

Some people did call Thuney starting in the Game Day Thread..

I only got a chance to watch the 1st quarter. How did Cam look? He looked like he was struggling early on...

Cam did struggle early on. Started just 5/13.. Finished 12/15. Had a big run late in the game.

Nice. DI has trained you well. Unlike him, you know a lot about football, but you are becoming as insufferable as he is.

Good for them. I can't stand wading through that cesspool.

I’m only insufferable to asswipes who take themselves too seriously. Everyone else seems to be pretty cool with my “act.” If you aren’t, well, I have bad news.

Very nice games by Michel, Burkhead, and JJ Williams today. Williams, in particular, completely shut Waller’s ass down when he had him in man. Michel ran like a grown ass man for the first time in a very long time, and it took getting threatened by an undrafted rookie to do it. I do worry about what happens when a defense bottles up the RBs and forces Cam and the WRs to beat them in the pocket. I still wouldn’t rule out a move for another wideout. Either that or Keene/Asiasi need to emerge as viable options in the passing game. But I’ll take the dub.

Might be the VT homer in me but I think Keene is going to be an important part of the offense. When he makes it on to the field we'll have an actual receiving threat at TE that hopefully opens up the field for the receivers a bit more. Then maybe...maybe an upgrade at WR won't be such a dire need.

Love the options we have at RB. Running game has been strong and the last two weeks we've been arguably without our best two RBs (White and apparently Harris but we'll see how that goes). They're not far off from having a formidable offense that could get lucky here and there in the playoffs

You can see the replay of it in the highlights on NFL.Com.

However, it's a poor angle. And it shows one Patriots receiver getting slammed to the ground right behind the Interception by a Raider player. Like you, when they showed the angle over Cam's shoulder, it looked like Asiasi likely would have taken it to the house. However the angle on NFL.com (the 57 second mark of the highlight) shows Asiasi getting planted the same time as the interception. Not sure if there was anyone beyond him, but it sure looked like they had someone open deep over there.

My only objection with you is with your pointless recourse to ad homs like this reply of yours. It's uncivil and beneath you and not the way you used to post. Too bad.

It actually wasn't all that bad today.. The Game Day Chat was worse..
