Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

[Gumby]

With the Steelers winning Monday night it's probably a slim chance Baltimore makes it anyway? What are they 6-7?

Exactly, that is the PROBLEM: Refs were in the bag for Jills cause GotoHell wants games that decide things in week 17. Ratbirds lose to us and there is no suspense left in AFCN. I fully expect 11-on-14 football again this weekend.

But they will have to man-up and beat them down so refs can’t make it close. We’ll see ….

Great points.. 11-14.. that's a great statement.. as we goes hosed last game for sure.. we will be down Spillane wich is huge.. I'm thinking it's gonna be on the offense..

Agreed .But no one will remember if we can go on the run in the playoffs. similar thing in 2018-pats just won last two vs poor bills and jets and no one gave us a chance to beat SD at home .They figured out what worked for them and went on a run. They need to be flexible to adapt to their personnel and move forward.

2018 Patriots beat the good teams and lost to five non playoff teams. I thought that was bizarre.

That defense was much better than this one though.

This defense is good but they lack elements that 2018 team had.. pass rush and forcing TOs..

Once Vrabel gets another off season this roster will be even better especially on defense.

I didn't mean literally they don't score. But don't you notice in general they are a different team. In the 4th? It's been going on for awhile.

Btw, that TD wasn't a product of the QB/OC. It was the RB scoring on a broken play.

We have the 3rd highest average win margin in the league and ripped off 10 strait. Winning and killing the clock has been going on for a while. Did you not notice? We have not been in many 4th quarter shootouts.

Ok fellas, fair warning. Tomorrow is my last day at work until 1/5. I will have that much time to F with @FCB02062 for being a Pats hater and overthink upcoming games. Please bear with me.

Yes.

As a depth veteran player.. the depth at edge is a problem he'd be just a depth option to spell Chaisson or Landry..

No, let Ponder and Swinson gain the experience. They are going to have to develop their pass rush, they won't be able to improve it enough in free agency, and rookies take time to develop. Sitting one down to play an old ineffective Mathew Judon is a bad idea.

Use pass to set up run.

 

[PatsfanTN]

Use pass to set up run.

Agreed.

Having watched a lot of Henry when he was down here, he went nowhere when touched at the line or inside the LOS. Once he got beyond the line into the secondary or so and a head of steam, tough to take down.

That would be hard to imagine

Ted Johnson summed it up perfectly.. stopping the run is a mentality and an attitude.. we NEED to bring it. Let's go D-line.!!!
