The Official Patriots vs Falcons Game Thread

[Harrisoned!]

Would it be asking too much to have one of our guys in the tv screen when a receiver catches the ball. ?i don't care if it's 5 yards behind the first down marker.

Pretty clear they are going to play a shell to prevent the WRs from getting shots deep down the field. Make Ryan convert 3rd down a bunch (which, of course, he is capable of doing).

The Falcons will move their RT over to LT and put a rookie in at RT weakening both positions. At least that is what they did last week.

Baker's down. Their line has been decimated. Time for CJ to take over.

Problems is that you can hold for 5 consecutive plays they wont keep calling it.

Imagine if TB asked for a penalty like that and was awarded it. The internet would blow up with all the indignation of 31 other football fans.

Kind of like that Suggs penalty on Manuel at the end of their game today.

the rush hasnt gotten to him , that is the problem so far.

 

[Bella*chick]

Turnover, pls?

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

they want to stop the big play. old BB style defense.

]I just thought that was 3rd and long. Let's not go for the bend but don't break D. But, maybe we have the personnel finally to make it work.

 

[Big-T]

Who was that who just pushed the interior OL back right into Ryan with ease? Nice push.

 

[Harrisoned!]

Damn, Talib had a shot at that to pick it.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Why didn't Talib make a play on that ball?

 

[stcjones]

I feel teary eyed watching the defense without Wilfork out there.

Wilfork has been sketchy this year in all honesty .....

 

[English Patriot]

Aqib is shutting it down. (touch wood)

 

[juny]

Talib!!! We need to keep the beast

 

[Foxypats]

Come on D....please stop them here

 

[Ozymandias]

Run D has been shaky so far tonight. Tackling has been subpar as well.

 

[Harrisoned!]

the rush hasnt gotten to him , that is the problem so far.

Yep, also this. Nink and Jones should be pinning it back - Ryan is no threat to run.

 

[Wax Frog]

Ack, so close!

 

[DefenseRules]

Where was the coverage on that side of the field

 

[Harrisoned!]

Arrington has to wrap Douglas up there.

Talib said to pass on this message – you try making a play on the ball while covering Julio Jones...
