Pats vs Lions SNF game thread (1 Viewer)

[conlilnew]

Every tackle is debated now. 

 

[Hilts]

For as much as Detroit has dominated New England, it's still only a 10 point lead.

 

[GoBirds]

WR1

Think he’s top WR on team next year if one of other two are gone?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

What was that?!?!?

 

[Mt. Man]

Think he’s top WR on team next year if one of other two are gone?

He might be even if both are around. But I wouldn't be surprised if Tate was elsewhere next year.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Think he’s top WR on team next year if one of other two are gone?

Yeah, absolutely. He has a shot to finish this season as their top WR from a target share standpoint although I imagine Tate will still beat him out.

 

[Bossman]

Sony Michel 7 for 10 yards.

Last week was 10 for 34 ... take away the one run for 15 yards in garbage time and he was 9 for 19.

Not sure why they keep giving him the ball. Trying to justify using a 1st rd pick on him?

 

[Bossman]

Lions yet to punt.

Patriots defense was not good last year, couldn't get off the field on 3rd down, and they seem to have taken a step backwards this year.

The only way Pats win tonight is if they take the reigns off Brady and let him do his thing.

The runs on 1st and 2nd down aren't working and wont unless DET is playing the pass.

 

[brun]

This playcalling by Patriots is a bit confounding. 

Not to Matt Patricia 

 

[Buffaloes]

I have a hard time seeing ne losing to the worst hc in the NFL since josh McDaniels was walking a sideline in denver

 

[Joe Mammy]

Is this a 10 minute half time break? Seems like an eternity.

 

[Bossman]

This playcalling by Patriots is a bit confounding. 

that last 3rd down handoff was telling.

They haven't been able to run the entire game. They don't trust Brady to throw for it?

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Tate is a free agent and wont be back

 

[Bossman]

I see what you did there. 

 

[Buffaloes]

I see what you did there. 

?

 

[conlilnew]

Blount looks like he's running in place compared to Johnson

 

[Bossman]

?

Pats lost to DEN / McDaniels his first season

 

[The Captain]

Here we go

 

[conlilnew]

You just know NE is gonna win this game.

 

[Buffaloes]

Pats lost to DEN / McDaniels his first season

Sho nuff but I really mean I don't see them losing tonight. And Matt Patricia is the worst hc in the NFL since josh McDaniels was fired

 

[Mt. Man]

Oof. Sidearm by stafford where the WR had 'em beat deep.

 

[GoBirds]

You just know NE is goona win this game.

It would be so cool if they didn’t though. 

 

[voiceofunreason]

Definitely don't run it more with Johnson, it's working so well it's too obvious.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

That's what the Pats need, more Michel

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

There’s the Matt Stafford we’ve come to know...lol

 

[Mt. Man]

INT, BIg run, face mask.  The sound you hear is Detroit falling apart in the 3rd quarter.Again.

 

[Buffaloes]

INT, BIg run, face mask.  The sound you hear is Detroit falling apart in the 3rd quarter.Again.

They never had a chance to begin with. Ne did the TV network a solid turtling for a half

 

[Bossman]

That's what the Pats need, more Michel

Like we need more Salmon Sisters.

 

[BoltNlava]

This Sony stuff is to set up play action...has to be.. right?

 

[Ilov80s]

This Sony stuff is to set up play action...has to be.. right?

Patriots run blocking has been pretty awful.

 

[Mt. Man]

Jarrod Davis misses a tackle and Collinsworth praises him for it >.>

Oh, look, NE TD. You knew it was coming.

 

[Bossman]

White couldn't have been covered any better. Just a perfect pass.

 

[Buffaloes]

Ne could've started Steve grogan tonight and still won

 

[Bossman]

Ne could've started Steve grogan tonight and still won

Grogan would be throwing bombs all night on DET

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Never count the Pats out that easy. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

White couldn't have been covered any better. Just a perfect pass.

WOOHOO! 

 

[Bossman]

.... and DET still hasn't punted tonight.

 

[Buffaloes]

Never count the Pats out that easy. 

And conversely never count on former ne coordinators

 

[ProstheticRGK]

This Pats Defense is pretty uncharacteristically awful.

 

[conlilnew]

Dink and dunk Stafford

 

[Bossman]

This Pats Defense is pretty uncharacteristically awful.

... so you missed the SB last year?

 

[Mt. Man]

TD Marvin!

Great drive by the lions, especially picking up 3rd-and-short twice.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Ha - I just turned to my friend & said, “just throw a damn TD to Marvin Jones”

boom.

i feel psychic. 

 

[Bossman]

DET must be 18 for 20 on 3rd down? Anyone able to find this stat?

 

[voiceofunreason]

This Pats Defense is pretty uncharacteristically awful.

They've been winning with offense for years. Been over 10 years since they were good.

 

[Bossman]

Sony effing Michel!

White would still be running.

 

[Mt. Man]

Michel drop... Michel drop...

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

When you have James White, why do you throw to Michele twice in a row? 

 

[Hilts]

3rd and 10...they should run it with Michel, he might finally pick up some yards.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Sony effing Michel!

White would still be running.

Insanity.
