MNF: Patriots @ Jets

NE -10, 43 

 

Brady v. Sam, let’s ride. 

[spystud13 2371]

That’ll get you cut again, Ben. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Let's go Pats, get this.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Beautiful!    8  minute drive and the score.

[ztejas 43266]

If you aren't fucking amazed at this point that Brady is still slinging it down the field at his age then you must live a hollow life full of apathy. 

[spystud13 2371]

That was one helluva drive.

Verbatim was I was going to post, except I would've included "opening."

[Wally Pryor 5244]

That a boy.

[spystud13 2371]

This is trending poorly for NYJ already. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Darnold's head is already spinning.

[spystud13 2371]

Nice hands, Sony. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

More duct tape.  Gunner still returning punts.  

Oh well.  Par for the course.

It was assisted by blatant holding on each 3rd down conversion, all uncalled. The worst was on the wide receiver on 3rd and 10. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

There you go, Ben.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Yes!!!

[spystud13 2371]

Boom! 

[Deej 76568]

Brady is truly unbelievable. 

[tx ind 7000]

That throw just dropped right in, ridiculous.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Hopefully that unbridled scum Michael Bennett is done w/ the team.

[aggie08 21434]

As much as I'd love to give Brady all the credit for making all these fucking spares look good (and he certainly deserves quite a bit), random nobodies step up year after year for New England.  On this drive alone, backup RB makes 30 yard tough back shoulder catch, 40 year old tight end comes right off the street and makes a 4th down catch, and a receiver who wouldn't break most teams' 5-deep gets his feet down in the back of the endzone.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Yes!!!

[spystud13 2371]

Holy fuck.

And you think none of that has to do with Brady?

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Can't wait until the Pats get Mayfield next weekend.  He may complete 12 or so passes.  1/2 of them will be to the wrong team.

[Radical Larry 28529]

How in the hell did Mark Sanchez get on the field in a Darnold jersey?

Is that even close to what I said? I said that he doesn't deserve ALL the credit. I'm more than happy giving him the majority of it given that he's the one constant, but dudes still have to make great plays when given the opportunity.

They just all of the sudden "step up" in Foxboro after getting cut from other teams practice squads?

Okay.

That's fair, I just think it's what great quarterbacks do. Every RB or WR in the NFL is an elite player. It's up to the QB to make them look good. Peyton was incredible in Indy at turning no name WRs into 100 yard per game threats.

Fair enough. I'm not exactly the most unbiased person on this board when it comes to the Pats.

Okay.

I may be an even bigger Pats/Brady homer than you are.  I've been touting Brady as the best QB in football since like 2005, way back when Peyton's counting stats dwarfed his.  I wasn't trying to take anything away from him.  No one makes scrubs look as good as Brady.  Just pointing out how often random castoffs play above themselves in New England.

Jets need to look for next of kin.

[UpperWestside 6136]

Fireman Ed can go fuck a Pogo stick. 

[Nicole44 22027]

This is just a clinic/slaughter/ass beating. 

Lmao...must be nice to be a Pats fan.

Yeah, it's amazing stuff.   When your QB is the greatest to ever play yet he treats himself, and is treated, as just another player on the team, it sort of sets a nice standard and culture from the get go.  One of many reasons I love the team.

[Braff Zacklin 13420]

So the Patriots have been to three-straight Super Bowls (and four of the past five) despite junk defenses that Belicheck cobbled together with unheralded draft picks and waiver wire acquisitions. The unit gradually improved, year over year, until becoming among the league's best by this season.

Meanwhile, the offense doesn't seem to have slowed down by much.

It's uncanny. And in a way, remarkable to watch.

God help us.

On one hand, I'm tired of the Patriots always winning. On the other, can only admire greatness in all its forms.

I hate individual sports but love the team game.  The Pats personify that as well as any team in sports history.   Nothing wrong with admiring and enjoying it.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

a game thread for this game is a waste of bandwidth for everybody with unlimited data

[UpperWestside 6136]

That's roughing the passer? Really?

[Wally Pryor 5244]

As conservative as Belichick is on the surface he's so much more aggressive now with the defense than Flores was.  Probably more stunts and exotic blitzes through this early part of the season than Flores put forth in the entire year in '18.  Doesn't hurt that his corners shut down either side of the field.   Gives you a lot of leeway. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Yes, another pick.

Mayfield may throw 8.

[spystud13 2371]

Nice fucking throw, spare. 

[spystud13 2371]

That was a shit-ass call, but it don’t matter. 

[Deej 76568]

Was there a receiver anywhere close? What a dumbass.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Work 'em Bill.

I think they're the best team in the league so far, but I don't think it's by as large of a margin as it seems.  Their schedule has been Charmin soft; as soon as they beat Pittsburgh, the prevailing wisdom was that they were more likely than not to start out 8-0.  But I think that their lack of anything resembling a deep threat or explosive player could ultimately hurt them.  As great as Brady is, it's tough to put together 5 or 6 12+ play drives against the better defenses in the league--or 7+ similar drives in a shootout--without the occasional 30+ yard gain.  They were dink and dunk last year too, but Gronk still had enough in the tank to open the field up a little bit.

[UpperWestside 6136]

If Sam Darnold played for some backwater franchise in a small market he'd be labeled a bust by now. This guy is atrocious.

[Wally Pryor 5244]

I'm seeing ghosts.

Wow.

Hes been pretty bleh. his whole team has been for 20 years. Your best playmaker is Bell, then Robby Anderson and Jameison Crowder. I also dont think teams with no real future like the Jets, shouldn't pick QB's with a first round pick unless theyre for sure hes the man. Or pick one later on. they need best available.

Gronk will be back. He took off half the season and got to skip training camp. He'll play this season. I was going to go tonight to see this, but the Jets are just not worth paying any amount of money to watch. I'll gladly fork over money for the KC or Dallas game.
