Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Second string. And the importance of who your quarterback is would be one of those things that's VASTLY overstated. But your point still holds.

P.S. I smell a little bit of a rope-a-dope going on. Your Pats will have a strong second half, and I'll probably be depressed by 11:00 pm (central).

You were saying?? ;)
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

In their defense, Kuhn is incredibly slow...
Yeah, I don't get it either. But I'm not complaining.

And incredibly hard to tackle. Although they did stuff him twice earlier this quarter, the moment he gets past the line of scrimmage they whiff on him like I do at softball.


Yes, I suck at softball.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

I'll be more than happy to eat those words.

To be fair, there's still an hour to go before I was expecting to be depressed. And I respect the Patriots enough to assume that they can turn it on at will.

I keep forgetting you're an hour behind.

Had the game won, oops, Nice job Banta Cain
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Helluva game by Green Bay . Ugly ugly win
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Fletcher's sack was huge, and then the tackle by Chung was so technically sound that he prevented the first down. If Driver is at least able to slip out of Chung's tackle, Mayo probably makes the tackle but it's likely a first down. They'd probably have gotten the spike at about 0:14, which means they'd have 2-3 shots at the endzone following a clock stoppage. Very big play.

There's lots to work on, but they're 12-2 and one win away from the AFC's No. 1 seed.

EDIT: I guess the tackle was made by Arrington, not Chung.

Post game conference... Belichick sounds and looks like his dog just died. :D

He should, that was one poor performance and he is in charge...with all due respect to the Packers, who could have rolled over on this game, that game shouldn't have been as close; it seemed like the recent run of 'nothing ever goes wrong' made the Pats complacent. When your victory is sparked by a 71 yd ko return by an O lineman (why couldn't he have scored...would have been a play for the ages) then you need to A) thank your lucky stars B) have a little talk with the team about the first round of the playoffs last year. They are getting near 1 and done time and against a level 1 QB in the playoffs that might have been 'done'. He also probably didn't wnat anybody to show the bolts, steelers, ravens or dolts a way to move the ball on the D.

It wasn't a very pretty game, I can see why Bill would be POed. The team clearly took the Packers lightly and with the Bills coming up it may happen again
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Is it just me or is Brandon Merriweather the worst free safety in the league? The one thing you absolutely have to be able to do when you are FS is play the angles and game in and game out he continues to show a complete lack of expertise in this area, as he takes out his own players more often than the other teams'. If the guy hasn't got it by now he never will. Where's Fred Marion when you need him...
Yup - tcbg and I say this every single week (at least once). He does make a good play here and there, but the number of bad plays and penalties far outweighs any of his positive attributes.
It's not just you. I'd be shocked if he's playing for NE next September.
I hope you're right.
Fletcher's sack was huge,
*giggle*

What a game!! Way too close for comfort for New England. Nothing to add that hasn't already been said, other than to reiterate how awesome the runback by Connolly was.

Yeah, he takes awful routes to tackle people and he basically goes for the kill shot instead of the tackle. Hence the penalties and fines.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Good game, especially for the intrinsic value of getting the Patriots' heads readjusted back to reality.

Couldn't Flynn have spiked the ball and still had time for an end zone pass?

Was that Brady that bumped into Flynn and banged his helmet? Classy :D

If you're talking about the last play, I believe it was 4th down, so he couldn't spike.
