Patriots Pregame Thread Week 4 discussion: Panthers @ Pats

[Real fan 02]

I don’t know what he is getting at. It will all change at WR? They will play more than 90%? Or less? IDK

Matthew Slater is coming out of retirement ?

I think that hit / concussion rocked him a bit. IMO he's a little behind where he probably should be because of it.

Not good for our Pedestrian WR's.

What makes me most nervous is how good they are on kick off coverage. I saw a twitter post that said the were #1 in opponents field position of the kickoff. It was something like the 21 yard line. This is possibly going to set up a lot of long drives for the offense to need to pull off.

Thank you for posting that, I knew I had seen it but could not find it.

Have the returners line up further up field. Once teams start catching on, Panthers will cut that **** out real quick.

I don't think it's a stretch to say the season is essentially over with a loss in this game. Especially with Buffalo on the horizon.

Finally gonna see Gonzo and Davis together, watch the difference itll make

This was obvious to see when they changed up their strategy and played him more against Pittsburgh.

Small sample size from which to draw definitive conclusions; but Tonga really should be on the field at least for most 1st downs in addition to the more-obvious goal-line & other short-yardage downs... I'd also like to see what the Gregory kid can do; he looks like he has a good solid base and is demonstrably stronger than Tyler Durden...

 

[captain stone]

Their PK, Ryan Fitzgerald, is also a rookie; but unlike our entitled PK, he went undrafted and therefore had to actually, like, earn the job.

Yes this should really help our Front 7. We can get more creative now: really hope Gonzo knocks the rust off. IF he comes out alright that Buffo game in a week might be A Game. Bills are due to lose one.

That could be true. I totally forgot about that. Was that the throw Jacoby Dobbs lead him into?

Vrabel mentioned spending several hours looking at their ST. They should have a plan on how to deal with them and not the deer in the headlights look.

Sorry for the post....I see now looking further in the thread it was mentioned several times and linked.
