Patriots Pregame Thread We're on to Baltimore

[goheels22002]

The Ravens have won four of their last five, including the Steelers, Bengals and Dolpins. They look nasty and efficient. Time to cowboy up.

Flacco had his way with the Dolphins today, and is playing his best football of 2016.

Baltimore just behind the Pats in scoring defense. Dogfight coming up.

Tuff game, nail biter next monday

Tough matchup for our offense down Gronk and now Amendola.

Hoping Bennett is ready to play next week. He looked less hobbled today so probably a good sign that he's getting past his ankle issues.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

We absolutely have to be at our best when we play Baltimore.

Flacco is on fire but if we play our game and execute, we should be ok.

On to win 202.

Tough game, it will be a nice statement to take care of them next week. Particularly after their abuse of their Dolphins today.

doom-and-gloomers gonna be ****ting themselves all week. I'm staying clear of this place

 

[JMC00]

I'm sure them putting 38 on the lolphins is gonna be continually brought up. Yet they'll forget Garoppolo was on his way to putting 42 on them before he got injured

Ravens are mediocre. Pats should roll. On to Denver.

Balty at The Razor.....edge..Pats

If the fishies and squealers lose, and the Patriots win/ratbirds lose we can win the division and clinch a 1st round bye.

The local mediots will be on fire with the, "do not know how the Pats are going to beat Baltimore next Monday nite because _________________________(insert reason)". Or the predictable how flawed this team "really" is...

BB has an extra day to formulate a good game plan at home..

Not really. Points allowed through 12 games: 207. Patriots? 207. The Ravens have a much better than average defense. Both New England and Baltimore are +5 in takeaways. However, the Ravens have forced 22 turnovers through 12 games to the Patriots 13.

They struggle to score points, notwithstanding the 38 they hung on Miami was set up by three interceptions thrown by Tannehill. I expect a low scoring affair next Monday night.

I have a feeling the Pats' D is going to make some plays in this coming game.

I hope so too, but I am not optimistic. He gave us 2 receptions for 4 yards and missed a catchable TD. He wasn't much more effective in the running game. To me, he looks like a shell of the player that was so impressive at the start the season. Thanks to injuries, the TE position seems to have gone from one of our great strengths, to a real liability.

Bennett is not on IR so a shell of Bennett is better than no Bennett at all a Bye-Week can cure alot of ailments.

So my thoughts on the missed TD are that I think he catches that 8 or 9 times out of 10. And that yesterday was the best I've seen him move in a few weeks although he still looks like he's lumbering.

We'll see but I'm betting he'll start showing up more in games pretty soon.

Wait. I'm being told the patriots defense sucks because it gave up 207 points and you are telling me that's why the ravens defense is good? Me confused.

Quite honestly I thought that he was in a bad position to make the catch because he allowed the receiver to be right in between himself and the ball. It's not like it was a straight drop.
