The last time I remembered a pickem like that for a home Pats game was Pats v Colts 2005. Damn thats disrespect.

I think with gronk and Ridley, the offense will be alot better. Hopefully blounts fumble means not alot of him.

Dont think ridley plays according to reiss. He had icebags on his knees today in the locker room and has been limited.

Hey at least he fumbled after a 9-10 yard gain on a day when we had a hard time moving the ball. We were also in that nether region of too long for a field goal and too short for a punt. To me, that kind of turnover is the kind I can almost live with--something like an intercepted long pass on 3rd down.

There are turnovers and then there are TURNOVERS.

The Sunday night game where we got our asses handed to us? I can't remember if that was the worst loss points wise since Brady took over or if it was the last time we played the Saints.

I don't know, I think the defense keeps us in this. If the offense shows up I like our chances at home vs a team playing their second straight on the road. All depends on which version of the offense shows up.

Tom Jackson picked NO?!?!?!?

Tom Jackson picked NO?!?!?!?

Of course. He hates our coach.

 

[PlainOldEd]

Well, Adam Schefter is one of the smahtest people on that board.

And I'm going to the game, so they'll win.. :thumb:

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

not surprised...I feel a saints W as well...just too good

 

[ausbacker]

There's a reason most people are picking the Saints in the lead up to this game. I happen to be one of them and would desperately love for the Patriots O to find its mojo.

Eh, that 2005 team had a lot of injuries and they weren't that good anyway.

Now how about the 2002 opener when not one expert anywhere picked the Super Bowl Champions at home to open their new stadium to win against the Steelers....

Wendell not 100%, No Ridley, a Rusty Gronk, (IF he plays), a Gimpy Ninkovitch, Kelly a ???? = Trouble for Pats

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Wendell not 100%, No Ridley, a Rusty Gronk, (IF he plays), a Gimpy Ninkovitch, Kelly a ???? = Trouble for Pats

no ridley really hurts the pats..they have no speed in backfield

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Our offense is just a shell of its former self form last year, plus Gronk is at his best when a certain hybrid jailed TE is also on the field. That 4-1 record is misleading and this is the week where we get exposed. Anyone miss Alge Crumpler?

Ridley's been practicing all week. When was he ruled as out?

Been limited. Reiss said in his chat yesterday that he doesnt expect him to play-saw him with his knees heavily iced.

 

[dannydyn]

They also picked the Falcons....

Personally, I have no problem being underdog.

 

[Rob0729]

Been limited. Reiss said in his chat yesterday that he doesnt expect him to play-saw him with his knees heavily iced.

So in other words, he may not play. Reiss has no idea for sure and frequently gets who will play and won't wrong.

 

[patsfan-1982]

the offense needs the huddle that's what makes it special the way Brady runs it is second to none even with Gronk with out the no huddle they are not the same
