    A bit of a strange one to see a team that loves their TE's, cutting one and having only two left on the roster. Now I think Fleming can play at TE or maybe even Develin, but it's still not ideal to have only two TE's for the rest of the season.

    Was Derby cut entirely or sent to the PS?

    Big game in the AFC east today.

    Pats win, we go 3 games ahead probably ending the division.

    Bills win, they go one game behind the Pats and they will hold the tie breaker so it's less than one game behind

    What is Dan Fouts ranting on about, Hightower started the tackle well within bounds. Shut up you fool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,510 ✭✭✭Hazys


    Big drive...4x 3rd down conversions


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,719 ✭✭✭JaMarcusHustle


    Chris Hogan get in! :D

    Hell of a start by the offence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    Hogan has settled in well with the offense and as we've all seen in the past, that's not an easy thing to do in NE.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,719 ✭✭✭JaMarcusHustle


    Fouts is quite annoying. He really seems to have a chip on his shoulder towards us.

    Bills are covering receivers well, Brady holding onto the ball for ages. Sack city so far.

    Gronk's 69th TD

    Way to go Ghost, hopefully that gives his confidence a much needed boost.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,719 ✭✭✭JaMarcusHustle


    Our tackling is off again today - last few weeks we've been failing to wrap up players and opposition players are breaking a lot of tackles. It's very frustrating, but one of only a couple of things going wrong today. Impressive performance for the most part.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,232 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    What a ridiculous drive there, capped off by letting Taylor waltz into the endzone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    A thing of beauty watching Tom Clydesdale Brady running with the ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    Some poor play from Solder today at times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    A bad drop from White cost us another TD, still, shouldn't be greedy I suppose.

    Way to many poor plays for a highly paid left tackle. Beaten three times in a row last week kinda sums up a lot of his protection play.

    I wouldn't lose any sleep if we picked up a replacement and moved him on.

    Overall it was an excellent performance today, the offense was on fire. The D had some trouble but the Bills are very awkward to deal with due to their running game.

    Solder wasn't great but hopefully he improves as the season goes on. I wonder is he fully healthy now?

    Brady was just awesome today, he did it all, zipped the ball a couple of times, floated a couple of beauties too and that first down run was something to behold! :D It's great to watch a master at work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,232 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Hope Bennett can get over the ankle niggle he's carrying. We really haven't even used the 2 TE set to its full potential yet.

    Just as long as we have him, Gronk and key parts of the offense healthy for the postseason I'll be happy.

    Rex Ryan said after the game he's never seen Brady as hot as he is right now. I don't know how the rest of ye feel, but just looking at Brady yesterday is almost surreal. He's 39 and his mobility is getting better, his deep ball is getting better, fecking everything is getting better. He also reminds of how tough he is, he took some big hits yesterday and never missed a beat. After one smash of a hit on him, he gets up and on the next snap he threw that beautiful 53 yard pass. Four games back and he's thrown for 1319 Yards, 12 TDs with a 73% CR and 0 Ints. Long may he stay healthy and long may it continue.

    I was pretty unhappy with the hole up the middle on that one, untill I saw the replay.
    Collins was coming right through the A gap and got his head pulled back by a massive facecaging from the center. Not sure how the officials missed it, but that play would have been a sack.
    Aside from that the DT (cant remember who it was) did a poor job filling the gap. He overshot it and ended up in the same gap Collins was in.

    I was more upset with the coverage team on the dropped punt at the start of that drive, they all turned backs before the kick. If we do that often enough we'll start getting caught out by planned fakes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,232 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    This team is definitely still a work in progress. The D has not been consistent enough for my liking, despite how the stats might rank them.

    Am I alone I hoping we make a push for one of the OL GAs that are being bandied about? Felt badly for Jimmy, first series and he's getting body slammed.

    Jamie Collins traded to the Browns for a third rounder.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭TOss Sweep


    As I said in the wacky thread. That is ****ing insane. Best player defensively this year.
