Game Thread W8 - New England at Minnesota (1 Viewer)

[Statorama]

It's sad that the story tomorrow might be about the refs - the Patriots have DOMINATED this game, and most of it has had nothing to do with the refs.

Now that the Vikings are out of it, this is where they're going to get tons of calls to "even things out". In tomorrows box score, the Patriots might even be more penalized than the Vikings.Seen it happen way too many times in the NFL.

It's sad that the story tomorrow might be about the refs - the Patriots have DOMINATED this game, and most of it has had nothing to do with the refs.

Even if the Vikes get those calls, very few of them were really "game changing" blown calls. The catch by Wiggins is a first down, sure but it's not like the Vikes were even in field goal range. Face it folks, this team is getting manhandled by a FAR better team.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Did I just read that the Giants signed Liz Clairborne?

Jeff, my question is why not San Diego??? With what they have sustained, couldn't they use a body like Claiborne for a few weeks? I don't get it

:whoosh:

 

[PatsWillWin]

I almost wish this game wasn't so close so I didn't have to listen to all the Brady ball-washing. He's "PAUL RIVERE?" Yes, my friends and I often discuss how Tom Brady has ascended to Paul Rivere status in NE.

Yes - it even gets old for Pats fans (although unlike outside fans, we don't get bitter towards Brady as it really is nothing Brady can help).

 

[Statorama]

It's a little sad to see Rodney Harrison post injury, with the memory of pre-injury Rodney still fresh in my mind. It's like they're making him wear 20 pound ankle weights on each leg.

No ####... and water is wet. That doesn't change the fact that the Vikings have been getting reamed by the refs.

 

[dickey moe]

The refs could have spotted Minnesota 20 pts -- the Vikings were still going to lose this game.

at the sensitive NE fan. No one is disagreeing with you. Doesnt mean Minnesota have not had the worst called game of the season.

 

[Statorama]

"Helmet to the back of the.....back"

 

[Green and Gold]

The refs are like brass knuckles on a 250 pound boxer, vs. some 98 pound nerd. Really not necessary, but the outcome will look more brutal.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Brad Johnson is a game manager.

 

[Statorama]

absolutely. When Tom Brady is zoned in like this, he's hard to stop.

 

[Lauryn]

GET TARVARIS UP!

 

[Big Score]

Roughing the QB with a helmet to the back of the back.

Isn't that stating the obvious?

Is there anyway possible, to have a helmet to the front of the back?

 

[snorlax]

I sense a reverse to Chad Jackson upcoming--a really poorly designed reverse.

YES BUT THE PATRIOTS WOULDVE WON ANYWAY. NOBODY RESPECTS US. NO RESPECT. TOM BRADY. 3 OUT OF 4. BELICHICK. NO RESPECT.

 

[bbuster]

Is Minnesota run defense that good, or is their pass defense so bad no one bothers to run?

I haven't seen too many Vikings games this year, but I did see K. Jones get completely shut down by them in week 5...it was ugly.

You are so write!! I was thinking the same thing myself!

You guys are almost as bad as Steelers fans.

 

[Statorama]

GET TARVARIS UP!

Brad Johnson isn't built for this type of comeback. He's the kind of guy that is supposed to keep your team in the game, not the kind that's going to electrify the base.

respects Brady.

 

[Statorama]

Hmm...imagine that. They decided to blitz a team that was passing the ball at a 4 to 1 ratio, and....it worked! Brilliant!

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Brooks Bollinger baby.

Can't be worse.

 

[cyberrat]

Just tuned in, haven't had a chance to read the whole thread. Man it looks like NE is getting reamed by the officials? What's with a helmet to the back then a ticky tack holding call on a nice 3rd down play???????

I'd put a number of games ahead of this one in terms of worst officiated. Hell, this isn't even the worst officiated game this weekend. This just in: The NFL refs are awful. Film at eleven.

 

[Courtjester]

You know when you are up by 4 scores against a team that hasn't done anything on offense and you are still chucking the ball down the field 30-40 yards---karma might have a little lesson in store for you.

Brady needs to not see another minute in this game if they are smart....

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Bollinger just got crushed.

You're not helping yourself here.

Again.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Where is the facemask penalty!!!

 

[Statorama]

Is Art Shell calling these plays?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

"If they keep him in for 2 more minutes, they'll be outside"

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Tarvaris should be in.

[Cowboys#1]
