2012 Patriots Football

[Eja117]

I just saw a Pats DE beat a left tackle to destroy a team's offensive ability two plays in row. I don't think I've seen that since about 2005

Ridley seems sliiiiggghhhtttlly better than the Law Firm, but not enough to compensate from the lost security of knowing the RB won't fumble

Too early to tell, but I see Ridley gaining big chunks of yards in ways BJGE couldn't/didn't.  Law firm was a load and reliable in short yardage, and obviously had a vice grip on the ball, but Ridley looks more than slightly better than BJGE to me.  Defenses will have to account/plan for Ridley.

Wow. I'm starting to think Tavon Wilson is just charmed

These commentators are guys I can totally live with

I always liked Dick Stockton.  He was a Celtics television broadcaster way back in the day -- 40 years ago.  Also called for the Red Sox.

Waaaiiittt a second. The strength of the team is the defense? And the best player on offense is Ridley? What is going on?

[Eja117]

The tv coverage is a little different. They used to show replays from every angle, and now they're really deferring to the refs.

Also post ACL Brady is a different QB than pre ACL.  He just doesn't take off any more. You could give him an embossed and sealed invitation and he just won't go

[Rondo2287]

I really a question some of this play calling today

[Neurotic Guy]

Defense must win this one.  Offense is stagnant -- Brady feeling the heat.

Need a big play by the new D.

Kolb is keeping plays alive and Brady is ending them. I think we're in the final 2 years of the Brady ride. Next stop is sorta Brett Farveville if Brett hadn't been a total moron.

I don't think Brady has been the problem.  Play calling has been terrible on offense and the blocked punt.  Those are the reasons we are losing

So far this is like one of those arm wrestling match where one guy slowly but surely pulls ahead. At this point the Cards are not afraid at all of the Pats and if they win nobody else will be either. They walked into the Pat's house and took it to em.  They are clearly the victors of the first 3rd quarters.

Play calling doesn't explain dropped passes, overthrown balls, the QB holding onto the ball too long, and losing the battle on the line of scrimmage.
