Jace, Extat Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not reallyI understand that fans should stay to the bitter end, but when the Pats just swing the game by, what? 28 points - on like 4 plays? I can't blame anyone for leaving that shitty game. Pats played well for like 6 minutes. Terrible special teams play, highly questionable play-calling, Brady throwing 2 picks, and then three straight plays with three straight drops to end it. Brady cannot count on the O the way it sits right now. Need guys to get healthy and hope to sneak into the AFc Championship game which, as of this moment, is being played in Denver. I know he's never been anything more than a curb to step over, but I bet you've never been praying to see Manning before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickster Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I know he's never been anything more than a curb to step over, but I bet you've never been praying to see Manning before. Brock did not look good today. So there is a chance that Manning comes back. Peyton will be on a very short leash. Any sign of trouble, he will be benched his injury will flare up.

Jaime L Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 As of now, the Benglas are the number 1 seed. But, if the Broncos win out (they play the Bengals), Denver will be number 1 seed.Getting the #1 seed in the AFC will be huge. Means you only have to beat 1 of the other monster teams. #2 and #3 seeds will have to run the gauntlet. I mean sure the Chiefs are hot right now but each of these teams would be delighted if Andy Reid came to town. Same if it's Ben-the-perpetually-injured or Andrew the Giant. Bengals and Broncos both play the Steelers so it's still a bit unclear. But definitely looking like that game will decide who gets relegated to having to deal with the Patriots. Brock did not look good today. So there is a chance that Manning comes back. Peyton will be on a very short leash. Any sign of trouble, he will be benched his injury will flare up.True though the one big advantage the Brockstar brings is that he can take snaps under center. Makes CJA and Hillman more valuable. They can have a normal Kubiak run game which compliments and helps the defense. I mean they didn't need Brock to do anything at all to beat the Chargers. But presumably he'll have to show something against the Raiders next week or rumblings will be getting louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockroi Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 As of now, the Benglas are the number 1 seed. But, if the Broncos win out (they play the Bengals), Denver will be number 1 seed.Solid point. Yeah, Pats are almost locked into the #3 slot right now. @Jace: Manning is not coming back as a Bronco; Brock is playing great well enough now and not as bad as Manning was earlier and Denver will not have Manning back barring an injury, and I don't root for injuries. Unless its Rothlesberger or Incognito. I dream that one day they will have a douche-bag-on-douche-bag collision. The major problem I have with this loss was that it was a breakdown at every level. Coaching disaster with that on-sides pooch kick in the 2nd quarter, when you are up by 14. Then the special teams gave up 14 points with the Eagles O running three whole plays for 1 yard. After that, Brady threw two horrifying picks. The D eventually got into the act with a shitty late TD, before redeeming themselves with a late fumble. The Pats are a team that PRIDES itself on special teams play. To have THAT kind of swing (after that fumble on the punt last week) shows how far they have fallen. The Pats have to just get back out there, play football and get healthy. If Gronk and Edleman come back on O and Hightower rejoins Collins on D, I think they can compete in the playoffs. On the road. That SUCKS. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Pats are almost locked into the #3 slot right now. <snip> If NE wins out, they cannot be any lower than the number two seed. Either the Broncos or the Bengals will have at least three losses as htey play each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm having an argument with Aaron Schatz on Twitter. He still thinks Brady is mvp. The performance of the pats in the last two weeks makes me think Gronk is a good candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance of the pats in the last two weeks makes me think Gronk is a good candidate.Well, there is a counter to that, namely EVEN WITH Gronk on the field for 58 of the 60 min of football, Pats still lost. Everything in the NFL goes through the QB, so on O if your QB is not very good, you have no long-term chance in the NFL. Gronk is amazing (and if you want to vote for him for MVP- be my guess), but the Pats have won some games this season when Gronk has been an after thought (though drawing double-coverage and then some helps). Hence, Pats can win with Gronk not having a good game; Pats CANNOT win if Brady does not have a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thank god for that, I almost felt the poisonous bite of hope for a second. I can't lose tonight. If the Colts win, FUCK YEAH! But when they lose, I get to listen to the fucking morons who actually think Hasselbeck should start out the season backtrack or (potentially more hilariously) double-down.

Jace, Extat Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 When I left Indy to move to Texas in my little '99 Honda Civic my dad told me three things.1) I love you, no matter what.2) Call me if you need anything. 3) Never trust a man with a goatee.

He might not have had a lot of catches, but I suspect he was doing other things. And he plays a lot on special teams too, and that has been an issue. Mostly, Brady has looked pretty mortal since he was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
