The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

[PATS16N0]

Really, if we want ANY phase of the game to need to gradually improve over the season, I think it's the offense. I'm much happier about this win than I would be if our offense was destroying 2012 style and our defense couldn't stop a nose bleed.

EASLEY makes it look so EASY!

Where is the Ebner neckroll?

Weird without it.

It appears that he's decided his Samson-like locks are protection enough.

 

[dales804]

No. No need to do that with Brady when you are up by 23. I woulda done a quick hand off to Develin.

That's a play that's been successful at a very high percentage his whole career.

And Easley with his first career INT! Maybe...

Easley making the play! Love seeing that. Easley has not had a sack but he has delivered a few pressures. Silently has had a pretty good game. Better than week year.

 

[VrabelJr]

Hightower is amped up lol he should be though. He's played an incredible game.

Eddie!!!!

He's offensive because he puts so many onions on his hot dogs.

 

[jah]

Never thought Easley's first noticeable play would be a pick.

 

[Brady6]

Who would have thought Easley would have an interception before his first career sack?

i think they should throw another flag on us

I've gotta agree that it's key to be able to dictate pace - so if you're ahead, you are capable of shutting the other team down. The run is key there. Would like to be a more dangerous team on offense but we could see w/the emphasis on defensive acquisitions that was not our direction.

So I'm with you guys, yes please, 2 downfield bombs for TDs every game no exceptions, if they're there. The D and the running game will make this team look special if something does.

We won 3 SBs that way ladies and gents. I am not against having a potent passing attack. We really don't at the moment though. It is nice to see what we can accomplish with just the play action threat.

That is all good, BUT we are not running the ball well Ridley is avg 3.3 yards, and Minnesota is not a top level defense ,so what happens when you meet good Ds in the playoffs.

 

[VrabelJr]

Ridley with the failed ball spin attempt

 

[Brady6]

This was an important game for Ridley. He needed to get his confidence back on track.

Not until they're inside the 20.

 

[PATS16N0]

I really don't think Cassell has played as bad as his numbers will say

 

[Delicate Genius]

I sense another pick coming.

I bet you have been waiting since May to make this joke.

 

[Foxypats]

If they were not playing the Pats. I would feel bad for Cassel.....nice to see him with Brady and Kraft before the game.

 

[moejr]

4 picks for the D today. Gotta dig it.

 

[RayClay]

did he deliver?

I think he fits the bill.
