Without them, things might be different. I loved the other Gronk too...but the fact that he's still so valuable and contributing should not be overlooked. Even if it's not highlight reel stuff (it really is). Glad they're mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Only good thing about this is I have Edelman and Michel in my fanduel lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're dialed in they know they're going to hear all week about how they won't stand a chance in KC and how a gun slinger like Mahomes will expose them (much like they heard this week how Rivers would throw for 500) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) The Chargers getting curb stopped. They looked nervous from the start and The Patriots just capitalized on their opportunities, games out of reach now. Belichick opting to receive the ball to start was a great call.

He was terrible last week too but got bailed out. All Rivers does is lose big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers and the offense was hyped and warm after pre-game warm ups. Taking the ball and calling a drive that was slow and drained half the quarter while Rivers and the offense stood in 25 degree Fahrenheit weather and got cold was as much of a coaching tactic as the other schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was recovered by Chargers. Belichick is just trying to frustrate rivers even more by halting his momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think also going up a score takes the ball out of Gordon's hands and forces them to throw and then Williams drops a wide up deep ball so you can see how taking Gordon out of the game really shifted things in NE favour.

The emergence of Gilmore into an all pro CB really got us to where we are. He takes away the #1 receiver and we always double the #2 receiver, while the 4 man front is great against the run. The offense is forced to win by having their TE and 3rd receiver play well, or by having their offensive line dominate. The Chargers o line has been dominated today, and their TE's haven't done anything. Outside of Gilmore biting hard on a pump fake, he's kept Allen in check.

Still, I hope some folks will see what PR can do if his O-Line gives him time to throw. I completely agree with your earlier statement that they've been dominated to this point.

RUPERTKBD Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Bolts really missed an opportunity there.... On the miscommunication between Brady and Edelman, the defender was totally focused on JE. Could have been a pick six if he had been watching the ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the best at getting rid of the ball quick? Brady. Who is ranked 2nd last in defense against pass catching running backs? Chargers. Who weaponizes running backs in the passing game the most? The Pats. Both teams have blue prints to beat each other, but the weather is on the Pats side. On 1/7/2019 at 2:17 PM, NucksPatsFan said: Super happy the forecast calls for 5 inches of snow and a high of 27 Fahrenheit for when the south California team comes to town. James White will win or lose this game is my prediction. He'll be key to minimizing the Chargers D line, Chargers were ranked 31st in defense against passes to running backs yardage. James White 14 catches 100 yards Edelman 150 yards receiving Michel 117 rush yards between the tackles The game plan worked perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
