The Official Patriots vs Vikings Game Thread

[Froob]

I can only imagine if AD had been able to play...

 

[Mikla]

I think it is time for Patricia to move along. It's early, but I see no difference so far in the way the D plays or performs. Same old thing...

I missed the season opener because of work, and haven't really had much time this year to keep up with the forum and news.....can someone fill me in on what the hell is going on with our D? I thought we were supposed to be pretty good this year.

They have one elite player, a couple of good ones and a bunch JAGS. They are also extremely slow. Other than that, they're great.

 

[Mack Herron]

Why are we not covering anyone?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Again, Belichick has horribly mismanaged this personnel. Deonte Skinner shouldn't be one injury from playing, let alone starting.

 

[farn]

I truly feel (felt) that the talent on this D was the best since 2004... hopefully they show it soonish. Otherwise, it seems like I'll be frustrated again...

 

[JoeShmoe]

Front 7 is so slow, cant defend the flats, every team is going to expose that

 

[IcyPatriot]

I think Belichick needs to scrap that My Surface Face toy.

 

[Froob]

Why do we get owned by big slow runningback/fullbacks? Peyton Hillis, Kuhn, this ****ing guy.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

why the hell are we running a 3-4?

That might be a better question.

 

[supafly]

Hard to watch receiving targets that wide open.

Lots of out scheming on that drive IMO

 

[Keyser Söze]

LOL pathetic defense.

 

[mikey m]

LB play is abysmal. Looks like they're shocked every time they see a TE/back running by them. About 3 seconds late to react.

 

[PatriotSeven]

Cassell is a solid QB and he has some weapons, I have no clue why people are shocked, this offense is way better than MIA.

Well then we should consider ourselves lucky AP is not playing if they're this good without him.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Alright. I'm not blaming the players. I'm blaming the coach. Matt Patricia, i'm looking at you. Smart guy, don't get me wrong, but crappy FOOTBALL coach.

 

[Midship]

Hahahahaha we literally run the ball on 1st and 10 EVERY TIME

 

[JoeShmoe]

wow, a first down run, who'd have guessed

 

[DaBruinz]

WTF was up with the defense. Seriously. leaving the RB wide open like that??

 

[spo]

Ridley is not working bring back Maroney . Bill logic,after all he bring Chung back

 

[condon84]

Who would have thought a Norv Turner offense features TEs and play-action. SMH. I thought everybody knew that.
