and Brady looks ready to retire

hasn't been completely fit for the past couple of weeks, and relies on running plays for 90% of the time. don't have a good feeling about this, but I could very well be wrong of course.

So Gronks probably getting suspended for that dumb dirty hit.

The only Qb who can’t have 1 “bad” game without people thinking the sky is falling.

[shyheimz]

I regret my post - condider it non existant

Anyhow, I always fear Brady getting injured on big hits, dunno. Doesn't help having him as my QB in Fantasy either, since he's LP until gameday

But I guess you're all right. He's of course entitled to bad games, must just be me.

At least I'm not into soccer... Right?

Brady did not have a bad game. He just was not up to his usually GOD like standards.

He missed 2 open receivers when he popped at McD but that was more frustration at himself I think.

The INT was not on Brady either, it was holding, then PI on Gronk. No wonder Gronk was frustrated but what he did as a reaction is not befitting any professional player.

BB always attacks the weakness of the opposing team. Bills run defence is bad, so you run it down their throats. Simple.

Get a division win in December and get out. Keep it simple, play them again in a weeks time so can't open up the playbook too much.

Buffalo play nickle most of the game daring NE to beat them on the ground (which they did).

The holding on Gronk was so consistently outrageous and repeatedly not called, that the referees should be forced to watch the tape and be disciplined, in my opinion.

Nice to see the Pats getting better and better each week. Nice to see Gilmore finally playing up what he's getting paid. I think he's a much better corner than Butler at this point.

[TAWS6]

Looking good. Gronk taking the hit against the dirtiest team in the league. He cant get hurt if hes suspended lol

Hopefully we can get Dorsett more involve in the passing game. He has the speed and he seems to have good hands so I think it is going to work out great for us at the end.

Stealers are going to be all beat up and the Pats should be "Fresher" for that game.

Everybody's heart rates back to normal?




Just caught the finish of the 49er game, Jimmy learned well from the master...

[drbaig]

Nah, Brady always had it. He's the best after all.

My ball hawk Harmon though. Coming down the the INT.

Game was way too close for comfort. Pats got lucky at the end. Thought the huge play with Juju was going to end it.

[midcoastking33]

D is an absolute tragedy and won't get better even if van noy gets back. All comes down to the O line

[KilaByte]

Checking in, nobody knows me.

He got me some monies, I really want him to do well...

[HoganIsGOAT]

Big win. It wasn't pretty but a win's a win. The offensive line and defense are going to make or break us.

agree 100% bro. But I would also like to add that the qb play, the ground game and receiving corp will be part of the equation in making or breaking us

[AlBHappy]

I could not believe the horrible angle McCourty took on that run, and why are the safeties 15 yards off the line of scrimmage all the time?

What a play by Eric Rowe!

Great win, Steelers did get hosed on the TD.

[HoganIsGOAT]

No, they didn't. You may not like the rule, but that did not meet the criteria of a catch.

[AlBHappy]

Don't like the rule. However, am happy the Patriots won.

Tony Romo explained it pretty well why they were playing two safeties like that.

Our WRs need to get better. They've gotten exposed pretty bad the last two weeks. Teams are playing physical off the line and they can't get open in man coverage. Makes life so much tougher for Brady and the O-line when he's having to hold the ball longer. Fortunately for us yesterday, Gronk is such a beast and had a huge mismatch all day that he was able to pretty much single handily win us that game.

Defense has to get better on 3rd down. I forget what Pittsburgh ended at but at one point they were 10 of 14 on 3rd downs. That's terrible. Pittsburgh has a strong offense with a lot of weapons, but we have to get better. I'm hoping New England makes adjustments and comes out ready to play next week to secure the #1 seed.

[camaleom]

D - we have too many injuries up front...
O - we missing Edelman but late in the game we can always go with Gronk (If healthy)

[brighamw]

Sounds weird but I'm definitely a little disappointed in today's game (I say sounds weird because PATS doubled them up) just didn't seem in to the game, but whatever they took care of business and stayed healthy...

GO PATS!

Side note: watching Jimmy carve up the Jags, feel like a proud papa, can't imagine how Tommy feels

[GarthVader]

I was at the game today. My first game at Gillette. Brady did seem off today. Overthrew Cooks. Missed an open Gronk a couple times. But they got the job done. Awesome time at the game though!

I stand by my belief that he is injured and playing through it. He has been off lately.

yep, something is going on with him... also, there are some throws that are not just tommy throws... last fwe weeks he has been throwing into double and triple cover like wtf?!?!?!

[iamgenus]

The picks and off games started piling up ever since that injury popped up in the reports. Hopefully the bye week helps get him right because he can't be throwing picks in the playoffs.

Agreed.

old players always think they can play until they are 50 cause they feel good but when u are old things don't heal as quickly as they used to...

tommy is the patriots but i wouldn't got mad if they release him or trade him at the end of the season and then move forward with jimmy GQ, kid is a baller!
