Patriots 2018 Season

[Roy H.]

Man, it sucks that the Pats game superseded the Bears / Giants OT game. That one had some epic plays.

I can't believe the Giants won. The Bears D really disappointed me today in fantasy.

For the Pats, great start, scoring on their first possession. The D gave up a big chunk on Minny's first play, but then recovered and Minny missed a FG. Bonus!

Pat's actually stop Minny on a 3 and out when Minnesota had their first possession. That big run wasn't their first play

Ah, okay, thanks. Guess I missed a bit because the Giants/Bears game was in OT.

The PT riots game I can understand, but they also decided to show some of their pre-game show AND another round of commercials when they could have showed the start of OT

Terrible end to the first half for New England: They fail to convert on third and inches, then their D goes into full doofus mode and gives up a quick and easy TD.

Just the worst. How did we not get a half yard? The Pats could be up huge in this game right now with the Edelman non-td (totally pass interference, though) and continuing that drive. How often does Gronk not get any yards after catch?

If you freeze-framed the Gronk catch at the point of the reception and asked if you think Gronk picks up the first, I’d say 99/100 he gets it. I’m not a betting man, but would have bet my eye-teeth he would have fallen forward for the 1st (excellent defensive play).  Also a coaching/Brady mistake to not try to run a quick play before the 2-minute warning (the first one) — I think it was obvious that the spot was generous.

How this game has turned in about 2 minutes of playing time.  From Pats potentially driving to take a dominating lead with the ball coming out of the half, to Vikings potentially taking a lead with drive. This half may tell us a lot about these Pats.

It was an absolutely atrocious final couple of minutes to the first half. Gronk catches a ball within a couple feet of the first down and somehow can't impose his will on a smaller defender, then the Pats fail on third and inches. Then the D, which had shut out Minny to that point, surrenders several big plays and a touchdown in like a minute. And just like that it was a game.

What a catch by Patterson

Sure was!

[Neurotic Guy]

Nicely done Pats! Momentum lost and regained.

[Roy H.]

What a terrible call.  He didn’t even make the line of scrimmage, let alone the first down.

[Neurotic Guy]

Terrible throw.  Wasn't hit till after released.  Just run the ball and take time off the clock.  No need for Vikings to have life right now.
