We were at the game…despite being 13-0 in the fourth it felt much worse because of how inept the Falcons offense was. Falcons fan behind me (23ish year old dude) was loud, and mouthy saying “deflategate, cheaters blah blah” I can’t tell you how pissed he got when I said “28-3 bro”.

Fun game.

Don’t know what was funnier, Agholor walking in from 20 yards out or the 4 picks.

The stats say 1 pick for Mac and 2 for Ryan.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Pats seem to always struggle against Dean Pees so great win..

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Those

The stats say 1 pick for Mac and 2 for Ryan.

The stats also say you didn’t watch the end of the game…..

Josh Rosen came in and threw a pick 6. Then the 3rd stringer came in and threw a pick on his first play.

Falcons need to be sold, moved out of Atlanta, and renamed. Only a sports exorcism can salvage this franchise.

the game against TEN is going to be an interesting one. Vrabel had BBs number last time they played. They dont have henry this time around

I disagree. Vrabel had BRADY'S number in the 2 games they've played. This is a different team than 2019 team that Vrabel beat twice.

Vrabel had the benefit of having practiced against Brady every day for 8 years as well as lining up on he offensive side of the ball in Goal Line situations. I guarantee you that Vrabel knew Brady's tendencies as well or even better than Brady himself. Vrabel doesn't have that benefit anymore.

This year's Titans Defense looks very beatable.

Rushing Yards allowed: 986 (10th) on 223 carries (4.42 YPC)
Passing Yards Allowed: 2679 (2nd most in the league)

The Pats will have the benefit of a mini-bye week (10 days prep). The Pats in general, are healthy. They have a 2

Jete South?

On the Mac Jones interception, did anyone else think that Jonnu Smith misplayed it and made it easier for Terrell to make the interception. It seemed to me that Smith didn't attack the ball which allowed Terrell to make the play on the ball for the interception.

In case people missed it. It was MAC JONES who put a shoulder in on Terrell to help bring him down..

Pats could have beaten Falcons without offense.

Pats D 6
Falcons 0

I will take the win. The Pats defense won this game. The Pats offense was just so so, nothing impressive, this was the Falcons.

The offense was resting for the Titans game, I hope.

Go Pats

Go Pats

TNF struggles and sloppiness are a real thing. The fact that we emerged with a 25-0 victory with some people whispering trap game is a pretty good outcome if you ask me.

Team continues to impress and surprise me, and I'm loving every minute of it.

A

Another plus is look how Mac reacts after a pick? He doesn't let it get to him - just goes back out for the next series and slings it.

Actually, after Mac throws a pick, he tackles the guy who intercepted him.

No. I thought Mac made a very ill advised throw.

but I think it‘s impressive how many posters are trying to shift the blame to Jonnu instead of just admitting rookie phenom made a bad decision. He’s not perfect, don’t deny his imperfections.

Definitely not bragging because this isn't exactly how I pictured it playing out, but this is basically what I meant when I said pregame that I didn't fear this as a trap game. We're too strong on both sides of the ball and physical in the trenches to lose to a bad team like Atl at this point. Earlier in the season would have been a different story, but things are coming together and It. Is. Beautiful.

Pitts had three catches for 25 yards...5 targets...with THIS depleted WR offense? I don't think he's the next Kelce quite yet.

Mac shouldn't have made the throw, but I agree that Jonnu could have done more to prevent the int.
