Go!

Bourne missed a TD

Seems like hitting another player after a whistle should be a penalty.

I have no idea how there wasn't a flag there. Seems like every other player on the field was able to stop play on the whistle...

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Nice for some old lady to lend her glasses to Phil Simms.

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Seems like Herbert has a few too many of these middling games for my liking in fantasy. He's had 2 good games and one great game, and 3 less than stellar fantasy performances. So far he's killing me again today.

 

[Blackbear]

Of course a fumble. ***********

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Are the Chargers ever going to have the ball again this half? 

 

[Blackbear]

Ekeler doesn’t look hurt to me. 

 

[GregR]

What a weird challenge. Hold was 3-4 yards from the end zone.

Edit: ah, is it ball postion? Didn't realize if so, thought it was the foul spot.

 

[Insein]

Nice throw by Jones there on the 2

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Yeah I'm done with Herbert. WTF was that?

 

[Blackbear]

Adrian Phillips with a pick six. Mac to Jakobi for two point conversion. Pats up 24-17.

He was way off on that one. Don’t see that often from him.

He's overrated. Looked lost last game against Baltimore too. If Mike Williams can't get open or get deep, he sucks.

 

[trader jake]

Remember earlier when the Pats went for it on 4th down and threw a fade to a wideout that's never scored an NFL TD?  Ah, good times.

 

[Blackbear]

Herbert td toss to Palmer, who jump balled it. 27-24 Pats

onside kick time

 

[GregR]

FWIW in rule understanding, what I see in the casebook confirms my original thought on the challenge. It is the location of the hold that makes it a safety or not. Not the location of the ball. The case examples include a safety if the hold is in the end zone but the ball isn't.

I think NE felt / thought the edge rusher was held. He was right near the goal line. But they called the hold on the interior defender, not the edge defender.

Nice effort by the Pats...if they can play like this consistently they have an opportunity to be a wildcard team...next week on the road against the Panthers is a must win as is the Falcons, Jags and Dolphins...win those and that gets you to 8...gotta get two wins between the Browns, Colts, Titans and Bills x2...not easy but doable if they play like they did today.

Watching the offense play...or more specifically attempt a pass....gives me angina.

The receiving core of the Pats is weak. They need a solid veteran (sorry, Nelson) out there. But overall I think the Pats are a team in development and I like what I'm seeing from Mac. 

Judon putting together an all-pro season.

FWIW, PFF has a much different opinion. They have Judon only rated at 61.3 on the season. But they haven’t ever really scored him all that high.

That's a counter-intuitive rating....is it because of some sort of deficiency covering in space?  Cuz in terms of creating pressure and disrupting plays he is THE guy.

Agreed...love what I see from him...great composure...if they can add another legit weapon or two this offseason the offense could take a big leap next year.
