OT: NFL/Patriots 2016 Thread - Patriots #1 seed in AFC - 14-2

[13Hockey]

Let's go!!

Basically guaranteed a Bye need 2 more wins to clinch that 1 seed

 

[Johnnyduke]

Pleasantly surprised by the defense tonight. If THAT is the defense we see the rest of the way, good luck beating this team.

Brady/Belichick: 91-0 at home when leading into the 4th.

That's absolutely ****ing insane.

I believe he's unbeaten at home when leading into the 3rd as well...at least I know he is at Gillette.

Yeah they are.

You see those numbers in print and they jump out at you. Like, that's just insanity when you think about it.

I thought it was 86-0.

400+ yards 3 TD against the #1 defense in the league and no Gronk, Brady is just getting better with age.

There was a dude who needed the Pats to cover -7 to win $100k on a $5 ties-lose 15-leg parlay.

I can't even imagine. Cyrus should watch his back.

86 at halftimw, 91 while leading heading into the 4th

Ouch.

Ryan Succop cost me 5k on a $50 3 team parlay a couple years ago.

Did't read your post properly, that's another crazy stat, wow.


Gruden is seriously the best, love listening to him.

He's definitely grown on me. Is act can be annoying, but he knows his stuff no doubt.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

On a side note, great game by McClellin, made a big play on special teams and looked good on defense, good on him.

 

[Fossy21]

The fact that we came so close to beating Seattle despite playing terribly, and now this without Gronk and Amendola, plus pretty much gift-wrapping 14 points, even if both games were at home (Baltimore sure doesn't typically seem to care) tells you a lot. Hope they cut down on the stupid mistakes from next week on.

 

[ashnathan]

Please never put Cyrus Jones on the field ever again.

 

[CDJ]

Ouch.

Would that happen to be the same game succop missed a kick where he would have sent the steelers to the playoffs?


Because my roommate was a steelers fan at the time. And he got very mad online about it

 

[GabeTravels]

Alright, who else thinks Goucher sounds like McDonough?

 

[TP]

Is Jones gone yet?


Big Win. I was really worried about last night.


What Brady is doing at his age is simply remarkable. GOAT!

He played most of the game on defense and gave up one completion.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I'd really like to see this team win in Denver. I feel like it would be a test to see where they are at going into the playoffs and prove to them they can win in a hostile environment, kinda as a confidence booster after last years AFCCG.

 

[JRull86]

He played most of the game on defense and gave up one completion.

Granted that completion was a long one, but he did look pretty decent in coverage. Even on the completion he stioll almost got back into position after getting turned around at the beginning.

The punt/kick return stuff has got to stop though or he just won't get the chance to show what kind of player he is on this team. As we all know, if there's one thing Bill doesn't stand for it's stupid mistakes with the football. He's made way too many.

Yeah, he'll get the rest of the year off from returning. But the people saying we should cut him are ridiculous. I think he played better defense than Logan Ryan.

Definitely was an overreaction on my part last night for sure regarding that. As a fan though, it's unfuriating to see the same player make the same stupid mistakes over and over.

I mean he almost messed up the first punt when he was running away from it and almost got hit in the foot, then later in the game managed to get hit in the foot. Like, what the hell are you doing.

Understandable considering he is showing nothing in the kick return game, and is down right awful at it.

I think he's fumbled 5 of 12 chances..

He did look good on defense though, just keep him out of the return game.

I get that. And I wasn't sure if you were one of the people saying that, so I wasn't trying to call you out specifically. More the sentiment in case people actually still think it should happen.

I just don't understand how you can be THAT bad at a specific aspect of the game, and it was an aspect he was good at in college. it's not like he's never fielded punts until the NFL.

I know you weren't, just needed to be said.
