Game Day Thread Official pregame TNF thread: Pats @ Falcons

[libra957]

Another winnable game, gotta keep the train moving. Mac is exceeding expectations.

 

[Patsfan1958]

Hopefully the Patriots will take Atlanta seriously. I'm pretty sure the Pats will win but any given Sunday......

I expect another convincing win. BB will have this team prepared. At the end of the day, this group has won 6 games together, no way he's going to let them start feeling themselves over that. With the physical brand of football we are playing, I can't imagine losing to Atl right now. I'd be more concerned over potential trap games if we were winning through a high flying passing game where success and failure is especially a matter of inches. Let's impose our will once again.

No fumbles, no picks via bounced off the hands passes or throwing into a crowd. Keep Mac from being killed in the pocket.
Set the edge. Communicate well on D. Keep your lanes on STs. Go home with a W.

The Falcons are sooo bad. I have to watch them because I have family that stills supports them. I stream the Patriots and my phone and pretend to watch the Falcons. I hear the moans, groans, and cussing out of them and know how bad this team really is.

Pats need to take them seriously, because like we all know, any given Sunday. If they do and they come ready to play, they will have early Thanksgiving feast.
Pitts is a beast, no doubt, but when Matt has 1-2 seconds to get the ball out, what good is that? The OL is horrific! And I am not kidding, Mayfield shouldn't be on a NFL team or even a college directional team, he is that bad. Honestly, he doesn't just get beat, he wiffs!
There is 1 CB, Terrell, that has a right to start for a NFL team. The team has a total of 11 sacks.
The RB picked up to jump start the running game is a joke. Patterson has been excellent, but can only play so many downs.

It should be a beat down IF the Pats should up really to play.

Crazy. Pats getting break after break.

Are the stars aligning?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Cordarrelle Patterson was a fav of mine. Too bad he was offered ludicrous money elsewhere.

 

[Sciz]

Might as well just go with the old Tony Gonzalez gameplan at this point. Two linebackers jam Pitts at the line, with a safety behind them for when (if) he ever makes it through the jam.

 

[Guts]

Let's get the W. Ugly or stylish doesn't matter a W here and we get a mini bye

NFL Week 11: Patriots - Falcons Injury Report

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

I wonder if we’ll give Harris another week off since it’s such a short turnaround.

Pats catch another break...

Patterson out.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Pats 6 point road favorites.

This game is as trap as games get, and it’s on the road. I will be very impressed if they can win convincingly here like they did yesterday.

Classic setup for a let down coming off of a gigantic win, anticipating a showdown next week, and having a short week. Thrusday games are usually sloppy. Have faith BB will have them ready though , and a win would set up a huge battle with Tennessee.

I would put this difficulty around the same as the Panthers game, but instead of a good defense and crap qb we are facing a good QB and crap defense (2nd worse in PPG). They were building some momentum , but that was struck down pretty good yesterday lol This is one we have to win with TEN , IND, and BUF 2x on the horizon.

Am I the only one having playoff game type jitters every week now? I am having trouble sleeping saturday nights

2001 Redux.


Ryan is a good QB. This team has no reason to like us. They're at home and underdogs.


My advice to Pats: Have whatever you had for breakfast yesterday again Thursday morning.

I think (or rather hope) that he got Sunday off because he's going to play on Thursday. Rham will get a breather. Same with Jonnu.

The way he ran yesterday It would be difficult for me to make Rham a healthy scratch from now on.

Inquiring minds want to know if Mac Jones was anywhere near Patterson?

 

[BostonWolverine]

I will be there! Can’t wait.

I think it would be the wise choice- to have him rest up and get ready for the back half of the season. Atlanta's D is one of the worst in the league, anyone's grandma could run against them.

Pats have the luxury of 2 premier power backs. They can sub out for each other and keep them both fresh for the playoffs.
This is one big advantage Pats have over most of the other playoff teams. And JJ and now even Bolden are capable. I think this is what most of us envisioned prior to the season.( Minus the Bolden being productive part )
