Post Game Thread- Pats @ Jets

[SVN]

i thought this team needed a mentally tough defining win this season. i hope this is the one which spurts this team

 

[Bradyking12]

I think we are in good hands for a Lombardi this year, Brady will get better and Gronk's back injury is not serious and not expected to miss any time even tho we should sit him out against the Rams, too many close calls

 

[Jlaff]

Cant decide who I want to win this other game, Raiders or Panthers...I cant stand Newton and Keeping the Raiders ahead of the Broncos is fulfilling as well.

It's tough, but the Pats would hold essentially a 2-game lead against Oak if they lose

 

[long distance]

And welcome turnovers! Oooouuu yeeeaaah!
(whos gonna do it in the locker room though?)

It's games like this that make me realize how great TB is. He was hurt and off most of the day. But when we needed him to make a play and get us the lead he did it. Then the D stepped up

Dont forget the oline. maybe they shouldve gone to the no huddle earlier.

Looking forward to the salt from PatriotstPimp and Jangles after a win from their most hated football team today.

Actually Pimp was pretty level headed compared to some of the other idiots. TBSB5 is a disgrace along with some of the other clowns on here.

We want the Panthers cmon

I am sure you will proclaim this defense to be top 5 after today

I've never put any kind of ranking on the defense. It's a good enough D to win given the level of talent on the offense (assuming health.) That's all that matters to me.

I am really impressed with what they did without a healthy TE in the second half.

Brady' 200th win was always gonna be a 4th quarter comeback vs the Pats most hated rival

 

[Bruins29]

Some people do have to relax in the gameday thread.. like holy **** the phrase over reactionary doesn't even add up to how bad people are freakin out.

Ironic coming from you.

Our 5 top guys on offense are banged up: Brady, Gronk, Bennett, Hogan, Edelman. Seemingly in that order.

This is a day when I think it would have been reasonable to sit Brady.

The coaching staff knows more about his injury than we do, but Brady will never say when he is too hurt to play.

Hopefully it was just a case of pain management and no undue risk of worsening the injury.

It's almost like people really want their favorite team to win.

Makes you wonder how some actually get any enjoyment out of watching the team play.

I think that's 16 winning seasons in a row.

On to the Rams.

 

[deroc5050]

Ironic coming from you.

When did I over react? When I said there will be a key 4th down on the final drive.. which there was btw.

 

[JMC00]

Oh look another game where the Pats defense held the opponent to 17 or less.

 

[luuked]

We are taking steps into the right direction. Even if it was far from perfect at the very least the team showed a ****ton of mental toughness today. Baby steps into the right direction for the D, finally getting some turnovers and more pressure.

With everything that was going on (Brady clearly injured, Gronk early out, Marty still affected by the ankle) it was good enough and at that point of the season that's all what is needed. Survive and move on.

It will be interesting to follow how BB will deal with Ghost. While I get that many are losing their patience with him, the reality is that it if you look around the league where is the guarantee that his replacement would be a significant improvement ? Also even if for the sake of argument we'd decide to move on his contract would be a hard pill to swallow.

Fortunately there is still time.. lets just enjoy a win against the Jets..

Seems more like psychological torture lol
