6'0 + 250 lb = bruiser.

He's right. Blount is far from a bruising RB.

 

[SVN]

ooo..that was very bad run defense

 

[DefenseRules]

Come on D. Keep them out of the endzone. A sack or a pick would be nice.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Man, we really need to keep them out of the EZ.

We need to allow no or 3 points. Maybe a int for dennard would be nice.

 

[Foxypats]

a third TO would be nice right now!!

 

[PATRlOT]

This garbage offensive play calling will end up costing us in the playoffs.

Re: Re: The Official Patriots vs Steelers game thread

And why is that?

A FG is worth very little win equity especially when behind or ahead by a lot. The conversion rate from 4th and goal on short yardage and the fact that ~80% of the time you get the ball back in FG territory again if you fail to convert makes it correct to always go for it there especially when the score is wider.

BUT THATS NOT THE WAY ITS ALWAYS BEEN DONE!

 

[patsinthesnow]

Does that happen with Talib? Nope

 

[PatsBoy12]

This is the first time all season that Dennard seems a bit over-matched. He's been so good all season, but Brown is giving him fits right now.

 

[oldskool138]

Same play they didn't connect on on the previous drive.

 

[wolverinejoe80]

[Archeryaddict12]

So the gronk returns, and the defense goes back to old UGH.

That's because that's idiotic.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

That was terrible...

 

[DefenseRules]

Great. Defense has cracked. No pass rush to speak of on that drive. Disgusting.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Hey look, Ben reached one of Natz's talking points.

He was overmatched by the Idaho police. Which hasn't happened to anyone ever.

 

[Foxypats]

damn......Why oh why did that happen Sometimes the D plays so well and sometimes they are so .....

 

[PatsBoy12]

You could really see it at the end of that last run. No next gear. Tough dude though.

Yeah, he's extremely tough. I wanted to see what he could do in this offense, but we may not get a clear picture this season because, unfortunately, I think the type of injury he has will limit him. It'll never actually get better because he'll continue to play and put stress on it.
