Game

[JohnR]

Almost forgot what it feels like to be a regular NFL fan

[beamie]

hey hey remember down 28-3 a few years back,,,,,,,it's early!!!!

[PaulS]

Try being a Jet fan.

[Clammer]

it was just a matter of time ><>

[nightfighter]

Bruins-Canadiens was a better take!

[Got Stripers]

Offensive is lame when the defense takes Edelman and White out of the picture and there is no run-pass balance, KC and Buffalo are going to be real tough to win with what we have for O output.

The SuperBowl Champs played yesterday.

Who were they?

9'ers
Ravens
Pats
Chiefs

Pains me to say it, but Lamar and his Ravens seem to be riding the wave all the way to Atlanta.



Disclaimer: I'm not saying Brady is done (as I've read on many networks), I think he's just lost so much confidence in his receivers that it's in his head. He doesn't trust many outside of Jules. Would have been awesome if Bolden recovered that tip yesterday (he's a beast!). Not sure if there was anyone in the way of the endzone, didn't look like it?
Pats need to dig deep into that playbook, the other teams have realized we're no longer that deep in the O... Bill has to know that, I just don't know how he's going to counter it. Guessing we'll be seeing more of those fleafluckers...?? I don't care how they win, as long as they do.

You know, if I remember correctly the pats lost 5 games last year and still they came out on top. Chill

Tools in the offensive box last year were so much deeper, but don’t just blame the receivers, Brady missed a lot of throws and the play calling was questionable when they could have tied the game. Not counting them out, but the road they need to travel now to get to the big game is so much harder. Assuming the Ravens don’t loose the QB due to injury, they would be my bet on going all the way.

After SuperBowl 51 ......and even now with a much different set of characters), how can one lose hope? I haven't...I'm just putting aside some of my optimism, and thinking with no bias. Brady has been struggling, Offense has been struggling, and not just now, the entire season.
Defense, the Epitome .......but they're tired, and injuries continue which open up areas of weakness. I don't see Jackson being a 20 year Al-Star like Brady...he'll be lucky to be in the league 10 years, but he's hot right now and the rest of the Ravens are "Doing their job" and drinking his cool-aid, and yes...in the words of Chris Berman, they "could go all the way!".... but I still say, "Go Pats!".

Playoffs should be interesting.

[afterhours]

As far as TB's lack of familiarity with new young receivers maybe not going to OTA's didn't help. Still can't believe BB went into season with these TE's. Running game killed thru injuries to Devlin, Andrews, Wynn and Gronks retirement. If they go ANYWHERE this will be BB's best coaching job ever imo.

Oh, we have a shot, it is just an average shot, not a Patriots level shot ; )

[bobber]

remember that the first half-season was against the many of the weakest teams in the league..... so the undefeated record was kinda milseading

[bloocrab]

The Chiefs always make it a contest, and I'm sure they've watched last week's films to find the holes... curious to see how the Pats adjusted, or not.

Go Pats!

[Raider Ronnie]

Oh you poor Patriots fans.
You got it so bad 🤣
You don’t even know where bad begins.
I’ll give you a hint.
It starts with giving a POS like Jon Gruden 100 million

I never post anything about the Pats. Just go with the flow. Now, the Bs and the Cs are a different story. Like the way both of those teams are stepping up and playing well. Would love for the Celtics to go all the way this year.

I'm concerned about the Ravens as well. They have some momentum.

We lived through the tough years Ron......it was great the last 20 were gravy! We have been spoiled! Now everyone panics when we go down by a touchdown!

Panic? Who said anything about panic... Just asking at this point in the season, who you think the Champs are going to be?
I bleed red, blue and silver too Larry... but an apple is an apple, regardless of how I feel.
I lived through the Grogan/Eason era and so on, I think we had half-dozen QB's in 87, what a joke...so I understand losing seasons, do you remember Rod Rust back in 1990??
Season stats don't mean everything though, just look at 2007 when they went undefeated for the season...so yeah, not only you and "Pepperidge Farms Remembers"...I do too.

With only 4 weeks left of RS, what's you prediction?
Just curious where everyones' reality is...

..and Ron, we need no sympathy. We've broken so many records that it'll be beyond my life-time before the Greatest Team of All-Time gets forgotten.

[Clammer]

gILLY . try the Red Sox in the late 50,s & 60,s ...except for pumpsie green ….……...It was a WHITE wash team

see where that will get ya in this era of sports

[Got Stripers]

Ref’s need to find a new job, but first they need an eye exam. To miss a call which slows a drive, which may or may not turn into points is one thing, to blow calls that would have been touchdowns is so bad.

Look, say what you want but Brady really has a lack of talent around him. O line sucks most of the time. Aside from Julie, their offensive weapons are mediocre at best. Sony, CAN'T run! Sanu is just OK. James White is 38 and slow. Who else????

[Got Stripers]

Won’t argue that Paul, but the first challenge shouldn’t have been lost, scoop and score call blown, the Harry TD call and throw in the none call on clear pass interference on Dorsett; add them up and that’s probably 14 points and a big momentum shift. The refs screwed us big time.

Worst called game I can remember....the refs definitely cost points. Maybe the crew in NY should be reviewing all questionable calls behind the scenes and call Booger when his crew gets it wrong. Patriots had nothing in first half and were deservedly booed off field. O line sucked beyond belief, and lack of team speed once again showed up.

[JohnR]

Pretty bad. They fought at the end but couldn't beat the Chiefs and the Refs

[Got Stripers]

Post game suggested that all owners except two have expressed the need for a sky judge, who can within an acceptable time, call down for a further review. I can’t even imagine how two owners would even object, but fing Roger will want a bigger paycheck to evaluate. The tech today is so good, you could eliminate almost all teams from this type of screwing.

Yes, poor officiating for sure, but regardless... with receivers dropping passes, poor O-line adding to Brady's issues?? Seems the only things that worked yesterday were the fleaflickers??? Defense is doing all they can, but again... tired and injured, this ain't gonna end well.
The bulk of the blame for yesterday's game falls on the team, not the officials. Sure, they got robbed points...possibly costing them the game, but they're not playing at a level to win a championship, never mind the SuperBowl.

Buffalo looked solid yesterday.
Loved the SF game too... thinking they may be wearing the crown if they meet up with the Ravens.
