The Official Patriots vs Raiders Game Thread

[Foxypats]

Not pretty but a win is a win. I am sure the media will still be talking about the offense, however this is how we won in 2001 !!

 

[KamikazeKnight]

Sorry, but this is a 7-9 football team.

What a dumbass.

I need a xanax

 

[JMC00]

I thought this is what some people wanted the defense being as big a reason for a W as the offense?

 

[condon84]

I'll take a hard fought win like this. It'll get us ready for the playoffs more so than blowouts.

 

[DefenseRules]

Ugly win, but it's always good when the defense can win one for the team.

This team is a lot closer to the 2013 team than it is to the 2001 team.

Yay!! First place!!! We're rolling now!!! :bricks:

A win is a win, I will definitely take it. Hope we improve by next week

 

[Guts]

Winning is winning

This isn't the Olympics. There are no style points.

2001 was a long time ago. This is a new era in the NFL.

Tobin Bridge ledge is >>>>> that way.

People need to realise that was the Raiders season. This team is going to need the D to step up while the OL is sorted out. Going to be plenty of close games until that happens

If we put another 16 point effort in a championship playoff game like in our last 3 playoff losses, we won't be holding the lombardi trophy. Our offense has a long way to go.

2001 defense was exponentially better than current D. I think this defense against a legimate good offense it will be exposed.

This team is a lot closer to the 2013 team than it is to the 2001 team.

This game reminded me of the first Jets game last year. Playing at home, neither team doing much of anything in the way of TDs, and the Pats winning due to the incompetence of the opposing QB and the D making enough plays to bail out the deficiencies on O.

 

[PATS16N0]

We just survived our trap game with a W. The Raiders were going to give us their best shot. The Patriots inspire the best game of the season out of bad desperate teams annually.

Solder needs to get his #^%@ together though.

 

[PatsSox363804]

Solder has been pure crap all season and it's the biggest problem right now. When Brady actually had time for 2-3 plays the offense looked fine. They need to figure something out quickly with this offensive line, they're just terrible.

People need to remember that Revis is coming back from injury and it has only been 3 weeks. Lets reserve judgement till the halfway mark.
