I don't know about the division is ours talk lol but I can say one thing.

Friday is going to be a happy day knowing the Pats already have one in the lose column! :)

 

The severity of which (especially Hightower) will have some serious influence on NE's season it seems. Can't just plug and play forever.

Anyway.. too soon to declare NE's demise but that was one of the rare times I've seen that team start to collapse (as often happens with other teams). Great start to the season!

 

You should regret your post immediately! Watching the Patsies get smacked has put me in a good mood though, so I can't really be annoyed.

It's just ONE game, but it sure looks like we can challenge the Pats for the division. At the very least, that 19-0 foolishness is now over and done. :)

 

Guys here's a cool stat. Brady was 16 of 36 today for a 44.44% completion percentage.

Last time he had a completion percentage lower than that was.. last game of 2005!!

So something was definitely anomalous today with Brady.

 

Jay Ajayi is going to be absolutely critical in our matchups with New England. We saw Kareem Hunt force them to crowd the box, which opened up big plays for Alex Smith and the passing game. This is the blueprint, and if Dont'a Hightower is out for any significant amount of time, it becomes very replicable.

That said, did anyone notice how quickly that stadium cleared out? Spoiled fans don't know how to take a loss! Priceless.

 

I would love that to be true.

 

yeah that was bush league on their part..to leave your team like that, on opening nite coming off a Super Bowl victory, is BS..

if I was a player like Brady id call their asses out

 

Yeah the NFL newtork analysts had them go in 14-2 and blowing clear thru everyone till game 10 or something. I believe the 2 games were Pitt and....someone else in the AFC lol. Raiders maybe. Anyway, good to see them drob the first one that wasn't expected and still have other teams out there with potential to slow them down...god willing we give them two more ourselves.

 

yup..you don't just think your gonna miss the loss of a great player like eddleman without an adjustment period.

 

NE have started seasons slowly before only to turn it around and win it all. A few years ago our DL shredded their OL I think it was in a season opener, but by the season's end their OL was rebuilt.

Anyway its always good to see the Patsies get shredded even if it wasn't by us.

 

A few years back, I remember KC beating NE so badly, the media was asking BB if he was giving any thought to Benching TB12... Brady went on a tear and NE won the SB. Reports of NE's demise are always greatly exaggerated.

In other happy news, my fantasy team dodged a bullet as my opp. had Hunt on the bench haha.

 

Lots of new players still not up to speed with the system, Pats were playing no huddle a lot, Brady is missing a couple of veterans who do know the system, oh yeah and KC are a decent team.

That said, apart from the lack of veteran talent the other things for the Patriots are fixable and if any team can adjust it's them. I'm glad all the perfect season nonsense is over . Amazing the Pats lovefest the media was participating in. They were taking like a bunch of homers who haven't watched for any length of time. Let's just make sure we don't get carried away in reverse and expect the Patriots to completely collapse and instead enjoy the best possible start to a Dolphins fan's season!

:)

 

Very surprised by Brady's play. He didn't look like his old self. Looked rusty. His throws weren't as crisp. Has age finally caught up with him?

 

Then Texans, imagine, just imagine, Patriots starting off 0-3! That would be amazing! I could also see them ending 14-2 so who knows

 

No one loves to hate the Patriots more than me but all of these posts are about how bad the Pats are. There is another possibility that no one is discussing...

The Chiefs may be THAT good.

 

Alex Smith, Chiefs Stun Patriots with Record-Setting Show of Skills and Thrills

""We had it handed to us on our own field," said Tom Brady.

"Bad defense, bad coaching, bad plan, bad football," said Belichick.

Brady said the Patriots lacked urgency. Smith played to score and win like his life depended on it."

"The Patriots did not allow a single catch of 75 yards or more last season. Smith threw two of them Thursday night, the most stunning of which went to Tyreek Hill. With a weapon like Hill, we're going to see more of this from Smith. Last season, Hill had the two fastest times by a ball-carrier, according to the NFL's Next Gen stats, having reached speeds of 23.24 and 22.77 mph. (He may get competition this season from his new teammate, Kareem Hunt, who was fastest Thursday at 20.84 mph.)"





"The Chiefs' 42 points were the most the Patriots have given up in the 307 games of the Belichick era, regular season or playoffs."

"Until Smith's 368-yard, four-touchdown performance, only one player had a game of 300 yards passing, four or more touchdowns and no interceptions against a Belichick defense, according to the NFL. His name is Drew Brees."

 

The stats in this post further prove the pats cheat. There is literally no other explanation.

 

Amusing.

 

Andy Reid is such an underrated coach. God damn

 

Brady's piss poor deep ball was on display last night. Overthrowing receivers badly.

 

Unlike most Patriot games that was fun to watch. Something is clearly not clicking with Brady. Early on he was getting tons of time and still throwing off, normally when he has tons of time its a big completion and another set of downs. He also seemed jumpy, I think the announcers even mentioned it a few times. Maybe its hurting a little more to get hit at his age...

 

Physically he looked exactly the same as he always does. The difference was he didn't seem to know where the open WR was most of the time.

hmmmmm

 

I'm not sure what was different. Brady has always been jumpy when people get within 10 feet of him. His passes were the same as they have always been. This is Brady who doesn't know where the open man will be before the snap of the ball.


Their cheating wasn't up to snuff last night and that was the difference.

 

Could you clarify, not sure how you get there from this result?
