We enter yet another season with questions over the O line and it seems to have an annual event at this stage. On a positive note, hopefully any problems the O line might have, can be sorted out when the GOAT returns in week 5.

I'd hope so. The team managed to do that in '14 season and that turned out ok in the end.

This year is different though, we have Scar back.

Will they ever learn???

Reporter: Have you seen the Brady banner outside the stadium?

BB: We are playing the Arizona Cardinals this week.

That's very true and for some reason, don't ask me how? I actually forgot that Scar was back.

Sounds like we'll be without Gronk on Sunday too. Solder missing also.

Though hopefully it's a similar case to Ninkovich @ Miami last year when he stayed behind an extra day to receive treatment and flew out the next day. He ended up playing.

These rumours are based on them supposedly not being on the flight to Arizona today.

I'd hope that's the case, although I would much rather we didn't risk Gronk and give him more time if he's questionable.

Tristram · 10-09-2016 07:06AM

Gronk out now. Will see a lot of Bennett presumably.

TOss Sweep · 10-09-2016 04:07PM

AJ Derby is going to have a huge game

StringerBell · 11-09-2016 11:49AM

Its finally here!

With all the **** in the off season, again, it will be great to get back to competitive football

JaMarcusHustle · 11-09-2016 07:44PM

New deals for Nink and McCourty - the Nink deal is nice especially as it converts some of his salary into a signing bonus meaning the weekly fines he would have faced during his suspension are reduced.

Both deals have also created over $3m extra in cap space - which hopefully means we're working on deals for Collins and/or Hightower and want to front-load some of their inevitable pay increases to this season while we have the room.

Son Of A Vidic · 11-09-2016 10:42PM

I'd like to see Jimmy G doing well for the next four games, but whether he goes 4-0 or 0-4, the season really starts for me when The GOAT returns.

paulie21 · 11-09-2016 11:14PM

No wins for the division today although Miami came closer than expected

StringerBell · 11-09-2016 11:53PM

Hoping Palmer continues his poor pre season form and the D can give Jimmy some short fields to maybe keep this close, but if he managed a win that would be incredible. A good performance in defeat would appease me given the circumstances. I think it will be a low scoring affair

I'm not expecting a win for us tonight, so it's good news that all the AFC East teams lost.

Yeah I think so too, I like him a lot and with no Gronk he should see a lot of the field.

eagle eye · 12-09-2016 12:23AM

So worst case scenario is that we are tied atop the division........at 0-1:P

I honestly think we can do this tonight. I think our D is good enough to give Jimmy G the chance to win it for us. I'm hoping for a big game from Derby, I'm expecting a lot from James White as he tries to prove he is worth a big run in this team even if/when Dion Lewis returns.

No Gronk is a big loss along with Brady being out but I just have this feeling we are going to do it tonight.

Vanolder · 12-09-2016 08:35AM

Will take it. Only watched till halftime where after a good start the Cards looked to be getting the measure of the O... Long looked a nice addition on D. Some stupid penalties and a couple of bad fumbles but to win on the road without a host of starters is great, be unreal to be 4-0 with Brady, Gronk, vollmer and co return.

StringerBell · 12-09-2016 08:41AM

That was a fantastic win.

AbusesToilets · 12-09-2016 08:42AM

Best sporting event I've ever been to. That stadium is phenomenal, unbelievably loud. Fitzgerald is immense, such a stud, damn near won the game by himself.

Have to slap some pics up tomorrow, wrecked tired. What an amazing game.

BKWDR · 12-09-2016 08:53AM

Great game. Minus the fumble I thought Blount was unreal.
Those catches from Amendola made the difference at the end

Son Of A Vidic · 12-09-2016 01:04PM

I gave us no hope of winning that game last night. Tbh, I was expecting a 7 to 10 point margin of defeat. Boy did I underestimate the organisation of the team and their spirit. I thought Jimmy G had an excellent game, he looked calm, composed and completely at ease away from home and in all that noise. The only downer for me was yet again, when it really mattered, our secondary gave up big plays. But it was a great result and Jimmy G will now have his next three games at home.

TOss Sweep · 12-09-2016 02:11PM

Overall Our Offense and Jimmy had a good night. I do think we could have exploited them more short across the middle instead of forcing the ball deep everytime. Surprised we didn't use our tight ends more and our efficiency offensively lack at times. That last drive we settled on a field goal and the play calling wasn't good enough. Good thing is though Jimmy has his first full game under his belt as does that offense so it can only get better one would think.

Our defense started the game so well but finished badly. No pressure on Palmer and our secondary were so soft it was a criminal act against pillows. We got out of dodge with that FG miss. We were lucky but a win is a win.

AbusesToilets · 12-09-2016 04:49PM

I was disappointed that Bennet wasn't used more offensively, especially closer to the end zone. I wish we would focus on running Blount on the outside, seems he nevers gets much up the middle.

AbusesToilets · 13-09-2016 02:22AM

Few pics from the game this weekend, such a blast.

Yea, I was shocked that they were available. 23rd row, center field. $250 on stub hub. Money well spent.

Incredible seats! What was the vibe like amongst the fans? Seem to be lots of Pats in your section.

JaMarcusHustle · 13-09-2016 01:12PM

Did you travel especially for it or were you in Arizona anyway?

JaMarcusHustle · 13-09-2016 01:22PM

Colour Rush uniform confirmed.

It was a really good buzz. Our section was full of Pats fans, as it was right behind the Pats sideline. Lots of cheering when we were doing well, it was great.

The Cardinals fans really get into cheering against the opposing team, especially on 3rd downs. The level of noise was unreal, bone shakingly loud. I was really impressed how well the Pats handled it, especially after the issues at the AFCCG.

I was in Arizona, drove in from Yuma with a mate. Good 2 1/2 hrs, it made for a late night. Traffic was awful getting out of the stadium.
