The Official Patriots vs Falcons Game Thread

They don't hate Ridley they just don't trust him and rightfully so...

Love the run...but the coaches must hate ridley

I never was amazed by Ridley's skillset, although he did amass quite a few yards last season. He doesn't have great breakaway speed, he can't catch the ball, he doesn't pass block well, he doesn't have the greatest balance. Ridley is a competent NFL back with no serious negatives, but he doesn't have the greatest skill set either.

I've always liked Vereen's potential as a complete three down back.

Blount has obvious strengths. Huge body, great balance, hard to bring down.

Brady in the 4th quarter yet again. Big throw and catch to Thompkins, they got **** scared and beat by the run

This has, for the most part, been a terrific job of game-planning and play-calling by McDaniels.

Also, ATL's defense is poop. If/when they face some high-octane offenses, they are going to get set on fire.

Dimitroff's made a lot of great moves. Letting Grimes get away was not one of them, and having Asante out for this game has changed everything for the Patriots. Brady doesn't have to worry about a ballhawk messing with his rookie WRs.

Suddenly I've realized where The Old Man in The Mountain went!

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Patriot teams. This is the winning formula! I can't wat to be fully healthy

Hopefully we don't go to that soft zone on D now. Seems like we don't play that well with double digit leads

ATL is going to go no huddle so thye are going to get their yards now. We need a break or two with all these injuries.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

come on D....

 

[VrabelJr]

Still getting owned on screens.

 

[ausbacker]

Hey, A flag for Atlanta. Funny that.

 

[pherein]

Blount a legit closer?? Well I'd gladly eat crow if that keeps up

He will, used to hate when Blount gets going

 

[English Patriot]

How is that PI?

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

roddy white pushed off....here comes the quick TD

 

[VrabelJr]

Oh my god. Are you kidding me.

 

[WhoaDirty]

Not sure that was a catch by Gonzo, he seemed to bobble it.

 

[Hok]

White pushes off and they throw a flag on Talib

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Why Talib? Unnecessary.

 

[SunsOutGunsOut]

did you guys think the defense wasn't going to give it up ... ha .. already in FG range ..

 

[VrabelJr]

The ball doesn't lie. Lets get an interception here.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

oh god....
