This game is ours second half.

 

[English Patriot]

Tom has had a brilliant half negated by crappy penalties and the fumble.

 

[Crononaut]

Within a score now, good drive that got stalled by yet another stupid penalty. For all the love being shown to the Panthers D, the true hero for Carolina so far has been the gun the Patriots had pointed directly at their own foot that half.

 

[A man named Brady]

I honestly wish Mankins would just go away and never come back.

 

[DOGWARZ]

Like Rodgers would be flying coach much less grill class in real life.

 

[Timbo717]

I'm glad they went that direction. Would've been nice to see them get 7 but only down 10 and getting the ball to start the second half I think it was the best call. But, I have no idea how bad the wind is so it's hard for me to really judge that situation.

Great hold by Allen. Terrible snap, short and into Allen's body. A stop here and the ball back after the half would be as much as we can ask after the way the offense began this game. Disappointed we didn't see the mankins replay...

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Full commercial at the two minute warning. Full timeout two plays later. Full time out after the field goal. Three plays in ten minutes.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

At least we get the ball to start the second half. Patriots have shot themselves this game.

And Gruden annoys me!

I'm taking the earphones off. No sound until 3rd QTR. Blood pressure will be lower.

That's a 42 yard FG into a stiff wind.

SP has done few 4th conversions because its hard to kick in that stadium sometimes. Good kick

 

[deters]

Pats could easily be winning atm if not for several bonehead plays. A stop before the half and a score on the first drive in the 3rd would be most excellent.

 

[TomPatriot]

No huddle to open the second half.

Carolina playing at its best. Pats not quite. Only down by 7.

 

[bostonia3333]

Gronk just cant get open as often like he used to...he used to destroy great defenses...the burst just isn't there....

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Full half, and we got 3 points.... wow, just wow.

I am just glad we are only down by 7. We could be in a much worse position the way the team has been playing and acting. Just got to get it together for the second half.

 

[andrewgarrr]

I'd like to see them lock CAR into a favorable defense and go no huddle with Vereen and Amendola/Edelman on the field. I don't think they can match up with those guys.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Gotta call timeouts here and try to get another FG.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Finally, do something Tavon.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

cherchez la gost

 

[BAM!]

Alright Bill you have punished Ridley... he is by far better than Blount. Put him back on the field in the second half!

 

[reflexblue]

Would love to say we have a whole half left. But I have seen this movie before against this type of team

It use to be different, but that was back in the day when the pats didn't have jags playing two or three spots on the O-line. Especially at center.
