Pats 2011 Season Thread

[B Luc]

I don't acknowledge anything VT says about sports that isn't related to horse racing.

Rex Grossman does not frighten me,

He doesn't frighten me either. I'm just correcting your assertion that the Patriots are not facing a QB that was the starter in Week 1.

nor does Tebow. Denver has a good defense but TT just can't keep finding ways to pull games out of his ass.

If Brady Quinn was back there, I would predict a Patriots loss in Denver. That place is a house of horrors for New England, save for Lonie Paxton's snap off the goalpost.

In case some missed it New England kicked the shit out of Philly, essentially ending their season in a game Philly had to have.

Yeah, we beat up on a team led by Vince Young and without a healthy Asomugha. That's nice. And they're getting better. But they won't win in Denver. 12-4.

VT, Injuries are not acceptable excuses for what the Patriots did to Philly in their house yesterday. The Patriots don't make them and don't use them as a crutch. If you want to use one slowed down CB (He DID play after all) as the reason the Patriots were able to dismantle the entire Philly defensive scheme then why couldn't Philly do the same to the banged up Patriots secondary, who are being forced to play Julian Edelman extensively because everybody else is hurt? NE has had guys hurt all year (Mayo, Chung, Spikes + McCourty to name just a few) and despite being last in defense (yardage) and constantly playing the Ventrone's and Adamses and Molden's of the world they are still 10th in the NFL in points allowed. The jury is still out but when they get some guys back healthy and able to play together consistently they could do some damage, especially if they continue to get pressure from up front. Also and plus, I like what Vereen brings to the team. He's big and fast and exactly what they need to establish the running game when it gets colder... Just my $.02.

They are when the Eagles, unlike the Patriots, do not have the coaching talent to get the most out of their substitutes.

He's established himself as a good closer so far.

good for obrien calling tb out ... if was awful decision and he was going at a young wr.. o left lot of points out there and still got 40 .. only problem is they wont get 40 against pitt or balt ... then what?

last year the d got better each week not so much this year.. these are bad teams putting up points on the d now ..

afc title game looks like end of the line from these eyes

[tballa55]

Even if they do put up 40 on Pitt or Balt, the D is gonna let up 50

I just can't believe that a major market news operation spent two and a half minutes on a story.

Big surprise that she didn't get the joke.

I was at a Bs presser and when she had her hand raised to ask a question, the cameramen behind me started laughing, saying "What the hell's she gonna ask today?". This was well before the Belichick thing.

DA drops charges against Patriots receiver Julian Edelman
