Patriots 2010 Regular Season

[Brendan]

Probably the right measure of D is points allowed, regressed for the team you are playing. Except 16 games and things change so much, its hard to generate these stats as a PER quickly.

Yardage is not that important. The main thing the offense does is run up the time of possession, the D doesn't have to be on the field too much.

[Donoghus]

The defense has been coming around of late and has certainly adopted the "bend don't break" image that Pats defenses of the past had as their staple.  They're certainly not at the same level of the '03 & '04 defenses but they've made significant leaps and bounds as the season has progressed.  Wilfork might be playing the best football of his career right now. 

I could care less about the yardage amounts they're giving up.  Its all about the points and, recently, they've been doing fairly solid in that department.

Should be a good one ... and another test to see if this team's "for real". Any predictions?

[Bahku]

The Pats need to keep the pressure on and not underestimate or let up on this Green Bay team ... I'm not in the mood for any "Surprise Upsets". Thankfully, Bill is not the kind of coach to allow for that ... let's hope for another blowout. The Pats' Offensive Line will be the key ... gotta give Tom time to throw.

[Bahku]

Wow ... that play took some cajones ... expect a bunch of trick plays from Green Bay tonight.

[Fafnir]

Great call on the onside kick, perfect execution too.

[Bahku]

Already within FG range ... Pats need to end this with a turnover, I don't think we'll see a lot of passing from the Pack tonight, though.

[Bahku]

Don't like the score, but I'll take the FG and the nice pressure on Flynn ... keep at him.

Lucky to keep it at a field goal.

If the Packers do an onside kick to open the game and then score a touchdown...that's HUGE momentum for them.

And is it just me or does it seem like teams more and more are doing surprise onside kicks?  You would think teams would actually prepare for it now

[Bahku]

I'd love to see some successful running tonight ... open up the field for Tom.

[Bahku]

Gotta love the Gronkster ... such a big target!

[Bahku]

Deion ... sweet!

[Bahku]

Yeah, Baby ... BG-E with a TD ... love it! Beautiful drive!! The momentum is ours again ... nice block by Deion!

[Donoghus]

That was a sick block by Branch.
