Detroit at New England (1 Viewer)

[BobbyLayne]

Drops notwithstanding, Stafford has been brutal today.

Career of coming up small on the road against good teams

Are you people even watching the game? He had two sure touchdowns dropped. He has had other throws on the money dropped. His OL has given him no time today. He has had to throw the ball away many times. Today is not his fault.

 

[rockaction]

So if Prater hits that 53 yard field goal earlier, I'm still in my horrible matchup today. By the way, I'm thrilled Jim Caldwell has kept kicking the ball today. Nice stuff.

/nobody cares, I know

 

[Workhorse]

Not a catch.

 

[jon_mx]

Detroit, down by 21, bravely kicks a long FG.

6 more FGs and it is a tie ballgame.

 

[Run It Up]

Lmfao what a challenge lol.

 

[jon_mx]

11 for 31 and a buck eighty. Horrible, even if there were no drops.

 

[Workhorse]

Lions defense has actually played well in the second half.

 

[Carver]

Back to back weeks New England will have smoked the number one offense and number one defense in the league.

They're so damn balanced it's hard for any team to match up with them right now.

Early season adjustment phase seems like it was an eternity ago.

ryan allen comin' out lookin' all fresh

Look at it this way. Brady has more completions than Stafford has attempts.

 

[Workhorse]

Browner holds on pretty much every play. He manhandles guys.

They are playing the best of anyone at the moment. GB and Denver could pass them.

I believe next week we'll be playing our 5th division leader

put that in the bold predictions thread

They have a very good defense.

4th. Everyone had Green Bay leading the NFC North anyway.

 

[Workhorse]

Stafford getting hot here.

 

[Workhorse]

That would have been a SICK catch by Ross.

 

[jon_mx]

Did he really slide short?

 

[Workhorse]

That was gutless by Stafford. You need one more yard and you SLIDE there????

 

[sho nuff]

Nice slide short of the first on 4th down.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Did he really slide short?

could have made but wanted to avoid contact

 

[SengerCJ]

There's time you just take a hit, did he just forget it was 4th down or something

 

[HughHoney]

Wow that was gutless by stafford.

 

[Mt. Man]

Did he really slide short?

Completely. He had it if he stays upright.

 

[Clorox]

Stafford

 

[joffer]

One of the biggest p###y moves ive ever seen

 

[Spartans Rule]

Was about to defend Stafford (there's been 100+ yards and 3 TDs worth of drops) but after that slide he should be benched, if not waived.

cincy

denver

Yes

I thought it was Indy's, if we're basing it on this week's games and all.

Stafford has a few more minutes before he turns it on.

Wait, if there was no public money in building the stadium, then why court Hartford for land?

Sounds like a deal against the public in there somewhere. <_<

There were a lot of infrastructure costs that the town of Foxborough needed to kick in, particularly for all of the parking lots along Route 1. The state wasn't originally willing to do anything until the Hartford deal was a possibility.

 

[Mario Kart]

14-40

Seriously? What the hell happened to Stafford? He's been more of a detriment than any kind of help this year. UGH!

 

[jon_mx]

This ge's outcome has long been determined, but that is really it.

Gotcha. So no public money is a load of it.

Regarding Blount, I guess if you show up for work and fake like you're following the rules, you're a purveyor of the Patriot Way.

 

[Mt. Man]

Going for it on 4th.

Urge to have Suh piledrive Brady (penalty? who cares?) rising....

 

[Spartans Rule]

14-40

A lot of drops, the league's worst O-line, some bad throws, and the dumbest slide in NFL history.

The Lions offense is just all-around terrible right now.

Wtf does this even mean?

Most stadiums have direct public financing of the stadium construction costs. All stadiums have some sort of infrastructure enhancements.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Saw on the ticker that Lafell was injured. How bad?

 

[Green and Gold]

Doesn't look great. Collarbone or shoulder.

 

[buymeagoat]

I read somewhere that Revis would be on Tate. Looking at the stats and the abysmal performance by Johnson so far, I would guess that prediction was wrong?

No it's been mostly Browner with safety help on Calvin.

For 2015 Megatron drops down to a WR2 for me

He is matchup based the rest of this year.

 

[Run It Up]

Just happened, made a diving catch landed hard - don't think he was hit.

He rolled around for a sec then got up and walked off, looked fine. Doubt it was anything serious - or he broke his collarbone, one or the other.

I wish you were on my league.

According to the Pats beat guys, LaFell is flexing his right hand but the trainers are leaving him alone.

5 of the last 6 games where he played he has put up WR 2/3 stats. Overvalue the name if you like but the writing is on the wall. He is slipping.

 

[Workhorse]

Would love a garbage time Megatron TD here.

It means your team signs dirty-### guys and fakes like it's some sort of charitable, benevolent organization.

That, as you know, is horse####. This guy is dirty and plays his way out of everywhere.

It's like an organization of PTA soccer moms that all get together and gang bang each other behind their husbands' backs. It reeks of PR bull####.

The Patriot Way loves Aaron Hernandez and JumboTron celebrations of their charity work.
