The Official Patriots vs Jag's game thread

[fumbrunner]

Who has the tie breaker between Houston and the Donkeys? The Manning bunch as the #1 seed? I think I'm going to be sick:bricks:

We're quite fortunate to be tied at halftime. Let's hope the momentum continues as it's going now.

Is there a reason Cole came in for Talib as someone posted? Talib get hurt? I must have missed it

Talib was injured last week. He was holding his hip early in the game when he played.

Pagano's first game back

Still not worth playing starters if they clinch today.

The Texans do. The Texans beat the Broncos in week 2. The Broncos can only get the #1 seed if they finish with one more win than both the Pats and Texans.

That's why I skip this thread when they are losing. It's bad enough, sometimes, when they are "only" winning by two or three touchdowns (though it's been a while for one of those threads).

Anyway, sure shows why Jax is 2-12. It's not ability to make plays, it's ability to cash in.

It would be one thing if this game was hugely important or involved a strong opponent. It's a longshot game coming off a physical and emotional loss, though, and it's the Jaguars.

Other than Kontra, who's at the game and likely to get really caught up in things, these posters have no excuse for this nonsense today. Combine them with the "Brady's declining (for the 12th year in a row)" troll, and this thread's been terrible today.

Not surprised at all with this 1st half. You knew a major hangover was coming with this team after the last 2 weeks.
They'll be fine.
I actually think it's good for this team to get punched in the mouth once in awhile.
Helps them to refocus and keeps them humble = all good in prepping for the playoffs.

O line played better coming down the stretch. I attribute that half to injuries and a hangover after two big prime time games. I hope they play a solid half that minimizes mistakes.

Talib was injured last week. He was holding his hip early in the game when he played.

Thanks, you mean one injured against Houston though right? I don't remember anything happening last week. Did he fall on it again or was he just nursing it?

 

[DarrylS]

The Pats will win this game, but it is boring as hell..

Difficult to watch when they make a crappy team look good..

 

[Rob0729]

Still not worth playing starters if they clinch today.

Not every team rests their starters after they clinch. Many teams feel they want to win that last game to get momentum in the playoffs.

You are just speculating that they rest their starters. Pagano might feel the Colts need the confidence booster of beating the Texans to show they can win in the playoffs. The Colts haven't beaten an AFC playoff team this year yet.

You are right. Although he might have re-aggravated it last week.

Amazing to play THAT bad in the half and wind up tied AND getting the ball in the first half.

Down after being down 10, being tied seems like being up to me.

We SHOULD see the Pats start to pull away in the 3rd quarter as the Jags seek their true level. The key word here is SHOULD.

Tracy White is our middle LB - MCole is our slot CB, and I've seen Tavon Wilson line up as the deep outside defender way too often

We have seemed to have started to control the Jags run game after a horrid first quarter.

I'm still waiting to see Chandler Jones create some pressure on his own. Its been 3 games

It was a very nice blitz design on that key 3rd down

It would be nice if WE got a turn over

 

[heavyde050]

Lloyd made a great catch on that pass.

 

[heavyde050]

That was another great catch by Lloyd. Good route and throw.

 

[Foxypats]

Llyod is improving every game. Nice to see.

 

[Rob0729]

Ok, the Lloyd bashers can take a break for a little bit now. You guys had a fun first half.

Good Lloyd has shown up so far in the second half.

Great hesitation run by Ridley.

 

[heavyde050]

Wow that was a great defensive play by the DE.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Is that the same hip that Talib was IRed for in years past? Hope not, or at least that they're unrelated.

Where is the dominant oline at? Did it stay in Foxboro?
