New England Patriots Thread Mod Warning Post #253

Bus Boy

It was great @Hazys. And was my first one too.

Jakobi Myers made a couple of good catches. I've been impressed with him so far. He's going to have to step it up if Gordon is out for a while.

Hazys

The Pats had to stay in one formation for the entire 2nd half due to injuries: 3 WR 1 TE, 1 RB. Brady said it was the first time in his career this had happened.

I think Bolden was the only skill play available if another injury occurred.

You thought that tailgating last night was cold??!?! Wait till you tailgate in -20C and you can't drink beer because it freezes too quickly! :pac:

I'll be over for the Chiefs game, is that what I'm looking at....!?

Technically we'd still have Slater....

I wonder if he even pretends to be a WR any more and does any route running in practice...

el Fenomeno

I wonder has a wide receiver ever taken so long to score his first TD for a team.

12 years nearly :pac:

Nah, it doesn't get that cold until January but do wear more layers than you think you'll need as you don't want to be stuck in an open stadium for 3 hours freezing as there is no heating anywhere in the stadium except for the bathrooms so you don't want to spend the entire game in there

You can bet he does, he is coached by Bill Belichick.

Looks like the offence will be without Gordon, Izzo and now Burkhead for tomorrow.
Could be a long night.....

I see Chandler Jones got 4 sacks last night for the Cards. Would he be a trade you'd undo if you could? He's been great for Arizona since landing there.

Pats got:
Jonathan Cooper (never really played due to injury, never done much since that)
Malcolm Mitchell (only got 1 year out of him, but he was big in the Atlanta superbowl comeback)
Joe Thuney (ever present since he was drafted)

I suppose Pats were unlucky that 2 of those got injured.

Also, mightn't have got Van Noy if we still had Jones

We couldn't afford to keep him really, him, Hightower and DMac were all due contracts at the time and we couldn't pay all 3.

Only 3.5 point favourites tonight...would have expected a tiny bit more but with the injuries and the confidence the Jets will have going into this, its going to be a close one.

I'd gobble that 3.5 up if you tell me where that's quoted. Could be a dogfight again but that's low

lol just ignore me, its 9.5 not 3.5 :rolleyes:

Start the car. A Watson TD and healthy bodies will top a perfect night

Hazys

A 2nd round pick for Sanu seems incredibly expensive (I’m sure there is more to the trade)

BaronVon

Yeah, and I'd prefer a new LT than WR. I would have thought Harry coming back off IR would have been enough at WR, unless Flash is out for longer term.

I thought Ben Watson looked decent last night, so he might be able to help with the TE issues.

Hazys

Sanu is a Rutgers player so a 2nd rounder makes sense

Wynn should be back of IR in a couple of weeks so that will help

Just posted something similar on the other thread, maybe Bill is looking at the perfect season again. It's not like him to give up a second rounder for a receiver like Sanu.

Shedite27

Shur why would ya care about draft picks if you're planning on retiring before that draft

I don't think Bill is retiring anytime soon. I'm sure he wants to beat Shula's record.

BizzyC

2nd round pick is very expensive IMO.
That's what you'd pay for a top talent 30 year old WR, not a guy who has never posted 1,000 yards in his 7 years.

I like him as an addition, but not at that price...

Flash gone to IR for season

Hazys

Horrible news hopefully he doesn’t go off the rails without the structure of the team

eagle eye

Now the trade makes sense.

Hmm, I hope he hasn't messed up again.

Earleybird

Dissapointing for him and the team. Was really rooting for the guy. Immense talent.

Convert a 4&7 only to end up kicking a field goal. Bright moments but not a confident start.
