Post Game Thread - Pats beat Vikings

[Patjew]

I thought the D was really interesting. Often just one down lineman and a bunch of guys milling around the LOS. It looked unpredictable and pretty quick.

Probably to tell him he's a great player who he respects. This is Bill Belichick. The man's an unfathomable machine. His respect for Thielen probably grew after that exchange.

I was thinking he (bb) will trade for him or sign him as a FA

Did Gronk have a catch?

Yes. One. Where he utterly failed to gain the final 1.5 feet needed for a first down and let the safety push him back.

Next up Miami ! Brady's house of horrors after Denver.

I have 0 fear of Miami in the month of December. Then again ... stupid global warming might mean it's still 98 degrees there next week

I think thiu\s year's winner is, without a doubt, our own favorite octogenarian (at least he looks 88), Tony Dungheap...er...Dungy. Congrats "coach", you earned it the hard way!

✔ @MikeGiardi
"I just thought the play was cheap..." - Adam Thielen on what led to his exchange with Belichick. Questioned the timing of Pat Chung's injury in that short yardage situation. #Vikings #Patriots

What crap is Thielen spouting ?

BB told him SFU! SitFDown! lol

Yes. One. Where he utterly failed to gain the final 1.5 feet needed for a first down and let the safety push him back.

It was an odd angle though. Was getting tackled from his side. Not easy to push through someone like that

Most unlikely combination before the season or even not long ago (with slot battles between Rowe, JJ, Dawson, Cyrus..) but I agree this trio looks like the best combo. Huge game for JC. Hopefully he can build on it. Hard to expect consistency from him but improvement is visible each game. He does bring some flag risks but like said before could be another butler in the making..

He’s a much better athlete than Butler. His Combine numbers are much better than Butlers Pro Day numbers. Usually the Pro Day numbers are a bit inflated.

Anyone else notice how Brady tried to kneel going forward to keep the 1000 yards?

A sign that he is retiring

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Solid effort. This was a good team we beat. Defense showed up. I did pop on to the Game thread during the game. I got one word for most posters PROZAC. Lol I do know they mean well

Yeah. Only Flowers had his hand on the dirt. It was interesting and good

lol, classic BB when Mike Reiss asked about brady1k

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

He should have taken bills advice. He did nothing.

 

[Wax Frog]

Someone needs to kick Thielen in the nutz on way out of stadium...what a POS..!!!

We have just the man for the job too!

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Two holding penalties for the best blocking tight end in football. Plus a false start if I recall correctly.
He's pretty clearly injured and hasn't yet quite adapted his playing style to his new physical limitations.

This is funny:

Great win today! Love the way the defense played.

Hard to figure out why, but we are such a different team at home versus in the road.
