Psh...go for it.

Our D is playing great, punt it.

Vince Wilfork isnt somebody you get many successful sneaks against.



Guys need to relax. Its tied. Almost half time. This has been a suprisingly successful game so far.

Excellent punt Zastadil!

Who is this guy? He ended 2011 shanking everything.

Hes managed the game.


You could say the same about Brady, a HOFr. The Pats have been relying on their running game and screen passes.

I could not agree more.

My take is that the Linebackers are very large and good in pass rush but not so good in coverage, which is leaving Heap open. Clearly this was a matchup Whis wanted to exploit.

The D has us in the game. Other than some dump off passes our QB play has been typically awful.

I was going to let this go but seriously, you're letting your hatred of Kolb blind you. He has not been stellar by any means but if our QB had been typically awful, we'd be down by 3 scores. Today's Kolb would have never lost the starting job and would have added 2 or 3 more wins to our season total. IMO, Kolb has been mediocre and mediocre is a huge step up from our typically awful QB play.

Can't be because heap is a washed shell of a football player.

Kolb is dealing with a matador LT and a nonexistent run game.

The Pats can do whatever it wants when it gets pressure with 4 guys

Exactly

Am I the only one who thinks the reason we punted there is that Floyd didn't know how to line up and we had to call a TO because of it?

My expectations were super low. Kolb has been below average but that is a lot better than terrible.

PAts Secondary is their weakness.

Their Run D is their strength.

Wilfork, Mayo, Spikes, Jones, Hightower. Big friggin guys.

-Throw it-


Get Batiste some help, and throw it to Larry, Andre, etc.

This is BS. He's had great protection for he majority of game.

Exactly, the fumble sucked and missing the TD to Heap sucked but he's not losing the game singlehandedly which is what lots of us probably expected would happen.

If he can calm down a bit and get the throws down there's stuff to exploit.
