Patriots Pregame Thread Week 11 TNF discussion: Beat The Jete

[50-yard-line]

4 days off a statement win...a short vacation right ahead of them...young team...lots of beat up players...

If Vrabel gets them to take care of business tonight in convincing order, that's another feather in his cap.

Will it really just be Henry & Westover at TE?
And just Hendo and Johnson at RB?
*They already signed Jennings, so they'd have to release him to waivers if they want to make room for Johnson for a callup again, right? That's not good.

Also, did we already cut Rice from the PS? What happened there? I thought he was the new WR savior for next year

I saw that, guess we needed rb insurance

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Interesting, since he was a Did Not Practice.

And whenever you hear 'knee', it's rarely a 3-day injury. If he's actually good to go, then that's a good thing.

He did get upgraded to limited yesterday, but that is still a bit of a suprise for just one lp on a recent knee injury. Especially when they went and added more rbs to the ps

Last time we played the Jete on a Thursday...

 

[Uptown]

Gronk would be proud..

Gronk would be proud..

We have got to get our Oline better at run blocking.

 

[Uptown]

It’s wild how we could literally be 10-0 if Geno played like “Geno” Week 1 & we didn’t turn it over 5 times vs Pittsburgh. 10-0…

We have got to get our Oline better at run blocking.

Conversely, Vita Vea is good.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Conversely, Vita Vea is good.

Agreed, but our short run game has been bad and seeming to get worse all season.

 

[Uptown]

This is their offense…gotta come correct on ST tonight.

Kick it out of bounds. Take the penalty. Stop the run. Four day weekend.

I mean, don't be shocked if Vrabel just has Borg kick it out of the end zone, instead of doing the usual cutesy kicks.

Did you see the last one against Tampa after they went up 12? He damn near put it in the 10th row.

 

[Uptown]

How many trips?

 

[TommyD4207]

How many trips?

23

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

yeah just boot that **** out the end zone and make them drive 65 yards. The qb doesn’t even throw for that many in a whole game

 

[Uptown]

Random stat:


The Jete are 17-5 when Breece Hall scores a TD…

 

[farn]

I'm expecting a tough game. We have the QB advantage.

I mean, I chuckled at the reading of "We have the QB advantage"...

 

[Sciz]

Fields has passed for 54 yards or less in 3 of his last 4 games. Oh dear...

At least he had positive air yards in those first two. His average completion against the Browns was 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage, followed by an average of almost 11 yards of YAC (mostly on the one screen TD).
