Jarvis Green down as the Pats give up a short field goal attempt on the opening drive. That could be big
Having LT throw to Antonio Gates has had a 100% success rate as well, but Gates will need to wash that grease off his hands first.

Yes, Tomlinson ran squarely into the pile after lining up six yards deep in the backfield.

Cassel looks so much better after the bye than he did before it.

Gotta challenge that. He trapped it on the ground at the end.

Ellis Hobbs (leg) and Jarvis Green (ankle) in the locker room, both questionable to return.
Two drives, three rushes by Tomlinson, all for two yards. Nothing much so far.

I revise my prediction to 14/37 and 2/12. He's clearly not healthy.

Not the best pass to Watson, but he has to catch that.
Nick Kaczur down. Patriots are dropping like flies.

The time to sell high on him was this offseason. He's done, and many people on here were fortunate enough to get rid of him.

There's a stiffarm! Not a great one but it seems like there hasn;t been any big stiffarms this season. I'm used to seeing SJax and LT and a few others knock defenders helmets nearly off.

I traded him away today, so he will have a huge game tonight...and a huge season thereafter...

People are so fast to write off one of the best runners of our generation. He's not that old. He may not have a great year this year, but he could be back.....BIG TIME. I still look for a nice second half of the season this year. He may not be worth the #1 pick in your draft, but he should be a top 15-20 back this year. I wouldn't throw him away.

Top 15-20 RB? That's a low end RB2. We're saying the same thing with different words.He's done. Next year, he turns 30. That workload, combined with his recent injuries and his age, spell disaster.

Did anyone place any bets on this game?

Good to see Hobbs back in, and in time to break up that pass. The Chargers sure are testing the Patriots deep. Interesting that Norv told Al Michaels that that was the gameplan.

I would have expected the shotgun draw to Faulk there. That is such an effective play for them.

Cassel doesnt feel the pressure at all. He stepped up about 2 seconds too late.

Cassel is not a good quarterback.
It's amazing that the Patriots haven't looked for a trade partner, free agent--something. There are a couple of good QBs on awful teams that come to mind.

Who are you thinking of? And dont say Jon Kitna.
NagurskiToKarr
Footballguy
Kitna would be miles better than Cassel, but not who I'm thinking of.
Maybe they'll finally put in Kevin O'Connell at the half to find a spark.

Throw the ball short of the line of scrimmage on first and second downs. Stop running from the I on first and ten or third and short, or throwing the ball short on third and long.
Pat Patriot
Footballguy
Bad playcall. You dont run Faulk behind a FB especially when that FB is a Halfback (Morris). That should have been a run out of shotgun to faulk.
Pat Patriot
Footballguy
What should he be happy about right now. Every play is a struggle with an inadequate backup QB.i've just never seen anyone look as unhappy as Belichek does on the sidelines

How did Matt Cassel convince someone that he can be an NFL Quarterback?
bostonfred
Footballguy
Maybe the coaches overemphasized the "bend" part of their bend but don't break defensive philosophy...

Cassel really has no pocket presence at all. Any pattern past 10 yards, and he's gonna get hit, because he doesn't feel the pressure at all. Of course, the O line looks like a seive, too. Just because Cassel doesn't see it coming, the fact fo the matter is the rush is collapsing the pocket pretty quickly.

It seems he takes way too long to go through his reads

Little spark to start the second half as Cassel completes back to back passes to Morris, then runs for eight or so on first down. Now let's take a shot deep.

The NFL decided this offseason that they were going to start calling facemask penalties on offensive players that stiffarm into a defensive player's facemask. So you won't see nearly as many stiffarms anymore.
bostonfred
Footballguy
Well lookie here.
Only if they grab and pull. They can still have an open hand on a defender's facemask, just like the defense can do the same to the offense.
bostonfred

Love the call to go for it, but that was a terrible run by Cassel.
