Try watching the game next time.

Andrew, a bit harsh. I mean he's at least being a big person and admitting he was incorrect earlier. Cut him some slack, my friend.

Random thought:

Wonder if any media will accuse the Fins of cheating when they punched that fumbled ball and got penalized. Anyone?

 

[PatsWSB47]

so what do ya think, prevent defense?

That penalty call was correct but it seems really harsh... I'd be upset if that were called on the Pats.

After the Pats getting JOBBED last week and the Red Sox getting JOBBED last night, it's about time the Pats got a few 'technical' calls fall in their favor. Just saying. It's gotta balance out sometime.

I have never heard of that Illegal Touch Penalty. It's legit, but I swear that I have never heard of it.

I hear you, Rob, but Ridley has shown that he can be a bruiser too. In fact, I think he is more of bruiser than people give him credit for being. He's shifty too, but he can definitely get it done with power between the tackles.

I like the timeshare approach the Patriots have with their running backs. I just wish it featured Ridley like we all expected coming into the season.

Ridley is a bowling ball. Of course he can wear down a defense, but Blount is 250 LBs. He is a wrecking ball. Ridley is clearly the better back, but Blount running into you will wear you down faster.

I still think Ridley may still have issues with his knee swelling (he was seen icing it a few weeks ago). They probably rather limit his carries than overuse him and lose him the next week.

 

[BAM!]

This second half is the first time this year that really reminds me of the Patriots. Hope the impostors are done for the year and we keep these guys from here on out.

Mental toughness. Team showed it today. Still got a lot of time left though.

 

[Foxypats]

Now keep the pressure on ......

 

[wolverinejoe80]

this team always come through. no wonder why everybody hates this team.

 

[BradyFTW!]

McCourty might have just prevented a 99 yard return TD with that tackle. Great play

But it wasn't, so yay!

The Red Sox call was also correct... The pushing on the FG vs. the Jets was 100% bullsh1t. I don't care what the rule says.

I'm happy right now, but I have to admit that I definitely don't think this is the end of the offensive woes. We're beating a team that is known for blowing second half leads. We still have some really big issues offensively. The good news is that I think quite a few of the questions were injury related, so it stands to reason that they'll be just fine later in the year if/when they become healthier.

 

[PatsWSB47]

this game still isn't over guys

 

[Kontradiction]

Are people still doubting Brady? The OL and WR's pulled their heads out of their asses and Brady looks like Brady again. Let's tack on one more TD and get the hell out of here. The Dolphins' defense is gassed.

i am reporting what is being said..if you don't like the facts then i suggest not joining the internet

Here's something else that was said, about 90 minutes ago....

"i hope the fans start to leave soon...don't deserve this" - Brady_to_moss

"we are the ny jets of last year" - Brady_to_Moss

"game OVAAAA" - Brady_to_Moss (when Patriots were down 14 in the 1st half)

 

[BAM!]

It's amazing what 22 minutes can do, especially when you are drinking.

 

[Foxypats]

OMG....almost another pick !!!

I was watching the game. It's no secret his hands hurt in some way and he's not throwing normal.
