'Thursday Night Football' preview: What to watch for in Patriots-Falcons

Tonight the Falcons play the Patriots. Also tonight there is a partial lunar eclipse that will last 3 hours and 28 minutes. You can’t even make this stuff up anymore.

The next time Earth will see a partial lunar eclipse as lengthy as tonight’s will be in 648 years.

Patriots vs. Falcons preview: 4 matchups that could decide Thursday’s game

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Should be a good night for the NE RBs.

Anyone rolling with Bourne this week?

Week 11 Inactives: Patriots at Falcons

 

[fatness]

Cordarrelle Patterson inactive

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Anyone rolling with Bourne this week?

i am, but i'm a poster child for desperation at receiver. that aside, Bourne looks to have become a safe floor play over the last few weeks. second in targets over last four on the team and total of 238 yds in that span is 16th overall in the league across skill positions. He's a td or two away from being a legit start each week if this keeps up.

Bill Belichick: Everything about Kyle Pitts is a problem for defenses

 

[Goooals]

Harris in for a big night or will it be Stevenson? Could it be both?

 

[Rubi]

Everything points to a Pats victory going into this game,normally I would make a contrarian pick,but I just don't see it tonight,so....

Pats- 31

Falcons- 13

I think Atlanta keeps it closer than that. They were kind of coming on before getting crushed by Dallas, but the Cowboys might be the NFL's best team. 

I'll say:

Patriots-27

Falcons-20

I think the Falcons surprise a little bit on offense, and Belichick isn't able to take Pitts away, as Arthur Smith gets extra creative with him. Also think NE is a little more pass heavy than expected, at least early, to try and get the deep game going.

I hope you’re right. Rolling with Mac Jones in a game I need to win (Stafford on bye). Also wise and mills on defense, so go Pats!

Kristina vs. Erin 

...And tonight goes to...

Erin! In a shocker. That's Kristina 10, Erin 1, for those keeping score at home.

That field turf looks awful

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Nothing has filled me with such incandescent rage this season quite like an unshaven Joe Buck.

Look, nepotism happens. I get it. But at least dress the part. Showing up to a 1 day a week job looking like you slept at a friggin waffle house is simply inexcusable.

Looks like Joe Buck’s facial hair, tbh.

Cut Buck some slack, its 2 days a week. 

 

[Mister CIA]

That Patriot RT is huge!

 

[The General]

That Patriot RT is huge!

And he’s wearing shorts

 

[Mister CIA]

My Amazon stream was terrible.  YouTube TV much better.

It looks like the roads and sidewalks after a winter of salt trucks.

I thought it was his no-shave-November look

I like going with the 2-4 day scruff look all the time, so.......

Odd thing for anyone straight to care about

Just….c’mon son.

It helps that I’m not a big Joe Buck fan to begin with.  We all have our pet peeves. Disheveled play by play guys who suck at play by play is apparently one of mine.

 

[The Frankman]

Cannot be understated how atrocious the Atlanta run blocking is. There's a guy in the backfield just as the RB gets the ball every other play.

I'd like to introduce you to my old bosses.

Think you want overstated. 

 

[rockaction]

Nice play by Dugger. He closed on that one. 

 

[Mister CIA]

I contemplated overpaying for Mike Davis in the off-season thinking he was an ideal rental to put me in win-now mode.  Bullet dodged.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

So Pitts has been on the sideline the 1st two plays & Ollison touched the rock before he did. Got it.  

 

[travdogg]

Nice play by Dugger. He closed on that one. 

Yep, kind of a meh throw by Ryan though, possible its a completion with a better throw. 

 

[Penguin]

Nice run by Rhomndre

 

[Mister CIA]

Rhamondre rumbling.

 

[Penguin]

Looks like Harris & Stevenson are splitting series

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Stevenson tough to tackle. 

 

[joffer]

Rummondreigh is good

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rummondreigh is good

Every time I read people saying his name I thought, “I’m never gonna be able to spell that name” so this especially made me laugh hard. 

 

[Insein]

So wait... The Atlanta DC is named Dean Pees. Man. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

After this season, I’m not an Arthur Smith fan. 

 

[The Frankman]

I don't know what Gallman Jr. is supposed to do there...

 

[travdogg]

Atlanta should probably be passing to set up the run

 

[Desert_Power]

I still can't believe the Ravens let Judon walk. So good.

 

[renesauz]

After this season, I’m not an Arthur Smith fan. 

NOt sure what he could do better with what he's got. Good as Pitts is, that O-line is hideous...THAT's where they should have invested more heavily

 

[rockaction]

You'd like to see Tajae go back for that, really. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

One more catch than gauge gave me last week.  

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This secondary is tough.
