The Official Patriots vs Bengals Game Thread

Christ. Anyone who thinks that Gronk is magically fixing this mess is delusional. Denver is going to blow us off the field by 4 touchdowns. Brady looks awful.

Game thread gems.

Amendola amazes me.

ughhhh .. remove yourself please

I wish we had this defense during our 2011 season.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

He's a body catcher. He makes great catches because when he has to do that it means he has to extend his arms out to make the catch.

An offseason of a JUGS machine will do him wonders.

I recommended that Brady buy him one last week. Maybe do with the nerf ball method that Law (or was it Assante) used as well.

ahhh here are the trolls!

You really can't ask for more from a defense. I'm proud of our boys on D. This is going to come down to one position for either team.

 

[PATRlOT]

That TD streak better continue.

Winning streak too of course.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Nice to get 3 on the board before the half. So far a woeful first half for the offenses. Defense has been their strength so far. Hopefully they make some adjustments after the half.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

Defense has played great so far.

Offense is playing very spotty.

He will not magically fix it, but I do not think Denver will blow out the pats by 4 touchdowns.

The Broncos do not have that great of a defense and the pats defense seems to be legit.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

S-go Sawks! 3-3 tie and into extra innings we go!

Ahem, I mean, hope we can get something started in the second half.

Gotta love game day threads. Posts like these remind me why posting in these threads are as enjoyable as hammering a nail into your temple.

I wish we had this defense during our 2011 season.

If it was the 2011 defense Dalton would have 220+ passing yards by now, easy. And a pair of TDs.

 

[manxman2601]

Given Mayo's ability to shed blocks and make a tackle I wonder if the "he's no good group" actually watch him play?

All the LB have stepped up to cover the DT hole. But outstanding leadership by Mayo.

 

[PATRlOT]

Christ. Anyone who thinks that Gronk is magically fixing this mess is delusional. Denver is going to blow us off the field by 4 touchdowns. Brady looks like Blaine Gabbert right now.

He's got 2 5'11 slot receivers (1 of which is new this year), a backup 3rd & 4th RB, no Gronk or Hernandez, and 2 rookie WRs who juggle the ball like clowns.

 

[Kdo5]

More than that

Actually it will help a lot. It will make our run blocking significantly better and give us back our #1 receiving threat.

The defense is, surprisingly, the strength of our team and it looks really good. The LB's have played lights out in the first half.

I wish we had this defense during our 2011 season.

I wish we had them in 2007

One could say that hammering a nail into your head is more enjoyable than watching this offense

 

[Ozymandias]

Folks gotta stop whining about style points and gotta get used to this brand of struggle defensive football. I love it!

Even when the O is struggling mightily the defense has kept them very much in the game. How often could we as fans say that in past seasons?

3-3 at halftime. I'll take it, given the circumstances. The team that makes the best halftime adjustments will be the one that wins this game. I like the Patriots' in that regard.

Let's GO!!
