Game Day Thread The Official Patriots vs Chargers game thread - Week 2

[Deus Irae]

So I'm hoping that the reason Gates hasn't been targeted once is because he is getting covered well. That was a big concern for most people coming into the game.

Unfortunately, they don't need him because the WR are getting really good separation on every other play and Rivers is too good a QB to let that happen. That is probably part on our DBs and part is because their WR are good.

They aren't letting him off the line.

Big Vince chugging down the field. They are going to play that slow motion running part a few times in the film session just to give him some #H$%.

 

[Wax Frog]

I guess this is what Elvis meant by a hunka-hunka burning love?

 

[crowell33]

Agreed, completely had enough of mccourty

not covering, not tackling, now the big penalty !

 

[PatsSox363804]

They were so concerned with the bomb that they gave up the easy underneath stuff thinking we wouldnt take it. lol. Great game management right there.

 

[mrscruff]

Patriots get the ball at the start of the 2nd half

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

In retrospect, mccourty might have saved a fumble there. That looked like a strip waiting to happen.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

LOL at that defense by SD. They just gave it right to us, and Ghost nails a long one.

Still worried about McCourty I gave him a pass last week but he needs to get his **** together.

i only wish we were closer to the other side so wilfork could have had a TD


for all thous mccourty bashers, what if he avoided a forced fumble? eh?



that is textbook clock management, the clock guy must have had his finger wavering right above the time button there, lmao

 

[Mountain_Commando]

Calm down fools McCourty just in a slump 2 bad games and you guys want his head WTF

this.

[dex13]

Wilfork has been the best DB we've had out there.

lol...maybe we need to set him up on Vince. One quick jam at the line and VJax is out of the play.

 

[E1Downey]

Lmao I cannot believe how that half just ended

 

[makoute]

This game doesn't feel like a game that the Patriots should be up by this amount.

 

[The Scrizz]

Ghost from long! (Even though he isn't accurate and can't kick long! /)

And that Wilfork play was incredible, designed for him to cover the flat against the RB. Brilliant play.

Did Norv tell them not to cover the sidelines?

Up 3 scores and we get the ball to start the half.

Hope Ras I is okay.

 

[italia44]

I have to say it.....Brady is from another planet...the rest of us are just visitors to his world:youtheman:

That's what I thought too, I wouldn't be too quick to call that a bad play.

 

[Timbo717]

They aren't letting him off the line.

Good to know. Whatever it is I hope he continues to not be a factor.

 

[ALP]

we've given up 1 td in 1 half to a great offensive team, with premier rb's, te's, and wr's, and QB.....

take it easy guys, our D is doing great

props to the offense too

 

[fester]

That was just an awesome sequence right there.

Ridiculous example of situational football on the Patriots part --- although WTF were the Chargers doing in clogging the middle and conceding the sidelines on both plays to Branch.

Very true, but hey the Pats are winning, time for a game ending TD drive to start the 3rd quarter!
