PostGame Thread OFFICIAL: Romo Strikes Back - Pats Squeak Past Falcons w/ Win, 24-23

[patfanken]

Amazing what ONE week can do. Last week KC was odds on favorite to not only win their division but get the bye. This week that are "old, fading, and flawed team", just because they lost a one score game, against a top 5 team, ON the road.

Didn't last week teach you ANYTHING. ANY team can beat another if things break right. We could have very easily lost that game against the Falcons. The Packers lost at home to the Panthers. Hell, the Jets won a game. That's what makes the playoffs so exciting. They are one and done.

In a 7-game series the better teams USUALLY rise to the top. One play, one bad bounce, one bad game and your DONE. IIRC, I think it was 2001 (or one of the early superbowls) we caught a HUGE break when the Jags upset the Broncos, and instead of going to fly to a hostile Mile High and struggle for oxygen playing a far better Bronco team, we play the surprising Jags who we struggled to beat at home.

And we paid good $$$$$$ for Davis he's been ok: but will that be good enough in January??

No. Spillane have more INTS then our 2 best CBs . ..

He came back this week and my FF team was thankful.
127 yds and 3 tds!

Sounds like the best TE in the game to me

He is, and it’s not particularly close.
Warren is up and coming for sure.
Kraft was great, too bad about his injury

you mean power rankings doesnt matter?

cue herm edwards… plus didnt they have all their timeouts?

Actually, they didn't have any of them left.

 

[captain stone]

Tony Massaroti said he wasn't impressed with Maye yesterday. Thought Maye was past throwing stupid picks and fumbling.

So did I; but it appears we'll just have to learn to live with an Error Repeater at QB.

 

[captain stone]

Sure, Vrabel should get us an upgrade to Ponder or Jennings if he can at a reasonable price.

Are you suggesting that this is a HIGH priority for Vrabel?

Guess it ain't.

Perhaps he has not made calls regarding RB, FB, TE, WR, OG, DE, CB, NB and S.

Not enough of them. Obviously.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I'm going to say the bills get us the second game.. I had us splitting with them anyway..

So weak. Dude, grow a pair.

ok but still enough time at least for a fg

I see your Hims package came... you very overconfident now.

I love Hims. The Asians love Hims too. I am cleared by a medical Dr. so everything is OK.

Yeah, sometimes that's what you get with a young QB. I think it's going to be two steps forward one step back sometimes.

Well.. your Asian GF refers to you " I love hims"..

Gilmore rarely had INT's. Did that make him not good?

 

[signbabybrady]

No. Spillane have more INTS then our 2 best CBs . ..

Clarification: Marcus has 2. Spillane has more than our best and tied with our 2nd best.

Atlanta was a tough opponent with many playmakers on both sides of the ball, who I expected to lose to prior to our recent run. They also had lost 2 straight while we had won 5 straight. This was a recipe for an upset or at least a nailbiter. Surprisingly we were in the process of kicking their ass when Maye's fumble flipped the game around and unleashed the Falcons offense. This was at best a 50-50 game going in, and the fact it was so close should not be a criticism. We still have a good chance Sunday.
