This defense continues to bail the offense out until TB & McD figure it out. Love that Jakob Johnson allowed Michel to finally get some open runs in. Bailey continues to be a weapon.
It's Game Ball Time!
It's Game Ball Time!
It's game 5 and only gave up 2 TDs, none via air. That's incredible.The defense.
Bailey.
Coaches for second half adjustments to get the offense looking much better in the run and pass game.
Yeah, it is insane. The defense has been nothing short of amazing.It's game 5 and only gave up 2 TDs, none via air. That's incredible.
Ended up with 16 carries for 91 yards.Michel with the best receiving game of his career
I wasn't following the game thread, but it seemed that there was a focus on throwing the ball to Sony today. Much like was requested in the pre-game thread.Josh McDaniels for finally throwing the ball to Sony. If they can just make him a little bit of a threat to catch the ball it’ll open up the run D big time.
They missed several tackles on a reverse. Aberration.I was unable to watch the game today, what happened on that Redskins TD?
We got picked (legally) to give up a first, then as 4 DBs coverged on the runner, Devin McCourty of all people flubbed an easy tackle, as did someone else back there, and meanwhile the two others slowed down and took themselves out of the play, assuming it would be made. Runner got free and went down the sideline for 65.I was unable to watch the game today, what happened on that Redskins TD?
Mentioned this in the game thread, but I'd pay to hear BB's unvarnished film breakdown of that play in the defensive meetingThey missed several tackles on a reverse. Aberration.
There was zero varnish on anything in the room after.Mentioned this in the game thread, but I'd pay to hear BB's unvarnished film breakdown of that play in the defensive meeting

So it went up today?Or of all the amazing defensive stats, this is my favorite:

+1He doesn't deserve a game ball for his overall performance but Gordon should get one for that stiff-arm alone. He is a beast.
KVN was also obviously held at the point of attack as well, but no call.We got picked (legally) to give up a first, then as 4 DBs coverged on the runner, Devin McCourty of all people flubbed an easy tackle, as did someone else back there, and meanwhile the two others slowed down and took themselves out of the play, assuming it would be made.

It was a great play by him, but a total freak aberration from our rock of reliability in the secondary.
Who was the Pat a few years back who was the king of the stiff arm? Not Gronkowski who got in a few good ones. I’m remembering a smaller guy, maybe a WR, maybe a RBHe doesn't deserve a game ball for his overall performance but Gordon should get one for that stiff-arm alone. He is a beast.
From the clip I saw (I haven’t watched the whole game yet), it looked like KVN jumped inside and gave up the edge. A very rare failure to set the edge from this year’s D.KVN was also obviously held at the point of attack as well, but no call.
Did you miss the last XP that clanged the upright before going in?I'll throw Nugent a bone with an honorable mention. He nailed the rest of his kicks after the initial miss.
I’m not sure Nugent makes it to Halloween if he keeps that up.Did you miss the last XP that clanged the upright before going in?
I did. Twas ugly. However, he got the bounce, so it counts. Even with the miss, his PAT percentage is better than Gost's.Did you miss the last XP that clanged the upright before going in?

I was in attendance, and during warmups coming out for the second half, he was SHORT from 45. Wind was minimal.I’m not sure Nugent makes it to Halloween if he keeps that up.
Day two of the thread seems like the time to talk just a little more about Edelman. Eight catches for 110 yards. Four first downs and a TD plus one almost spectacular first down on 3d and 17 and one very savvy first down drawn on the Patriot’s longest play of the day. Wearing a protective jacket. With the secondary only having to key on two WRs. This fucking guy.High, Edelman, the no name DL.
DL was obscene.
