Patterson as running back

[primetime]

I still think he has issues with cutting back into a hole or to create extra yards - namely, he doesn't do it, and I don't think he has the feet to do it - and that's always going to limit him out of the backfield. But, boy, when he gets a lane and can get to top speed, it's something.

Really??? Nice call...

Posted a mea culpa above bruh

Patterson an RB?

Allen caught a pass??

Cats and dogs sleeping together??!!

I was surprised by Allen's wheels when he caught that pass in space. Plodder he is not. Disappointing that he's never been able to be anything more than a blocker for the Patriots.

Good for you.

I have a feeling we may see him getting a couple more targets in the second half of the season.

It’s really to our benefit that we do. Two pass catching tight ends makes us better.

Two pass-catching TEs - who can actually block.

Plus Hollister, if he ever gets healthy again.

Detroit is apparently in fire sale mode. Wonder if we could bring back LG Blount back for one last ride...

Don’t think it would cost much.

Except the trade deadline is passed.

My mistake

If we had Patterson and James White in the backfield together and then quickly shifted out to a five wide, it'd be hell on a defense, wouldn't it? With Edelman, Gordon, and Hogan at WR, Patterson is the worst of the five receivers, but do you really feel comfortable with an LB on him?

Yeah you getting creative like mcD should be with the variety and versatility of these guys.. used to be dual threat run pass, but now you have triple threat , run,pass , over the top. Just dominating... And fun to watch..

So bump city,. Patterson the real deal. Dis crowd can diss my asz.

Yup.. the dis crowd must be put off by the hairdo. Really a perfect role player with versatility that can be utilized by creative play design. This is actually a requirement in the NFL that belichick usually exploits by adding different looks and formations. Especially when it's needed. Um like watching 3 RBS go down injured. The cool thing is when you try something that is caused by injury and then you find success. I think this is called addition by subtraction. We shall see..

Yup .. major addition. Math wizardry...

Another wrinkle down the stretch. Adding pages to the book, Many Ways To Die.

Hopefully this was his breakout game...

He wasn't terrible - he did what they asked him to do. I still think it was a stop-gap experiment based on the opponent. No way they are trotting out Patterson against Green Bay (or if they are, we are in big trouble). Did anyone else have visions of Laurence Maroney while watching Patterson? Standing too tall with dreadlocks flying. LOL.

There's a reason I am not the head coach of the NE Patriots...

Patterson at running back is like cowbell to me right now, I gotta have more of it.

Looked a lot better this week.
