    I just hope they rest some of the players that are playing hurt this week instead of making them play when the game means nothing.

    << <i>I just hope they rest some of the players that are playing hurt this week instead of making them play when the game means nothing. >>



    Totally agree, Belichek is famous for keeping Brady and key players in meaningless games or late in 4th quarter in blowout games that the Pats are winning, and Im talking Brady doing QB sneaks for a 1st down or throwing downfield with a few minutes left with 30+ point leads. Remember Gronk getting hurt on an extra point attempt in a blowout Pats win a few years ago?

    I think its good to get these guys reps and keep them sharp but no need to put out these guys for full game action.


    Either way Im PUMPED and super excited for the playoffs!

    GO PATS!!! image

    Should get to the superbowl if they stay healthy.

    Winning the superbowl will be another matter.

    Im not planning on that just yet, the Patriots have been great at losing big games since '07.

    Even if they do make it to the Super Bowl I will still be stressing

    The pats should start garapalo over brady , sit gronk, sit revis , sit wilfork and definitely edelman but they will all play I bet. Except edelman probably you can see how important he is to Brady. He has to be ready to go for the first playoff game.

    I'm tired of the way they leave brady in when they are way ahead. Idiots image
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,582 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well I'm hearing that Brady will play the first half and Gronk with maybe play a few series. Let's hope we can get through this game without any injuries.

    Nothing more than a preseason game today image

    Jeez, could they have made it more obvious that they just going through the motions yesterday. I haven't seen this much of a half-ass effort since that one game towards the end of 2006 where they were playing to lose.
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    The national media thought so too as I could not get the game even on the radio.

    I totally disagree, why should they take a chance on getting hurt when the game meant absolutely nothing?

    Im not being argumentive with you as I agree it stunk to watch it but really they had everything to lose if guys got hurt, I was actually impressed with BB because I thought he would do what he usually does and keep starters in.

    Looks like the Ravens will be coming to Foxboro.

    it always feels like a team EARNS it when they go through the Ravens. Should be a good game!

    Im STRESSING about this game!

    what is there to stress about? You don't have to block Suggs, knock down passes from Flacco, or try to tackle Jones on a kick return. Coaches should be stressing -- they have to prepare players for every contingency. Fans' job is easy!

    If you are reading what sports "reporters" are writing and worried about the outcome, I recommend stop reading those stories. Amazing how one-sided the stories are. I had no idea about the love affair with Joe Flacco and the media.

    Ravens dominating TOP and are up two touchdowns so far in the 1st Quarter.

    Just looked and the score and saw that the Ravens scored a second TD and that the NE offense has been on the field less than 2 minutes.

    Interesting.

    Joe is now 5-1 in playoff games. That was a great half back pass.image

    Grats to the Pats.

    Talk about a tough game, Im emotionally drained after watching that.

    Thanks guys for being good sports and great game all around from the Ravens. image

    I would like to listen to Kevin Harlan doing the play-by-play on that one.
  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,203 ✭✭✭✭✭


    It was very intense and scary no matter who you were rooting for . The beginning of game 2 brought my pulse rate down to about 4 beats per minute though it started so dismal .







  • BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,490 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I got to watch the first three quarters of the game "live" before I had to take a trip to the airport to pick up Mrs. BD. WOW! It was the best three quarters of a game I can remember seeing in forever. I hated to DVR and then leave, but it's a 75 minute ride to the airport each way...so I just had to go. Just finished watching the fourth quarter...ending with a Hail Mary, yikes! Offenses played great, defenses got picked apart most of the day, but each came up with key stops at important times. Fourth quarter was fitting end to a top quality playoff football game. Had my team lost, I still would be saying what a great game it was. Of course, I hope the next game is so boring because the Patriots score 62 points and the defense pitches a shutout... image
  • thehallmarkthehallmark Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭
    Holy hell, what a game! Can't think of a better example of the B&B connection being more in-synch, using the perfect 2nd half gameplan to outscheme an opponent. Ravens did not have the personnel to defend the short route, quick-fire passing game and Brady executed that about as well as can be expected. Pats defense also made some nice tweaks with linebacker penetration to stifle the Ravens running attack.

    Ravens performed admirably, but Pats in-game adjustments were far stronger. Good luck, Pats fans! image
  • seebelowseebelow Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭
    Looks like some rule changes next year due to pats taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.

    I legitimately could not even gather my thoughts after that game last night because I was mentaly fried, now that I have been able to gather my thoughts and look back at the action I must say it was one of the best games Ive seen in a long time.

    The Pats could not stop Forsett until late in the game- Arrington made a couple of HUGE plays sacrificing himself to stop the runner at key times
    Flacco was masterful to start but those chuck it up and hope for a catch or DPI finally caught up with him.
    I think the Ravens won the penalty game and got more calls there way but not enough to remotely ruin the game
    Brady overeacted in a big way when he said he got kicked and jumped in the refs face


    I feel very lucky that the Pats won this game, I think if they played this 10 more times it would be probably 50/50 for both teams, these Ravens remind me of the Giants and I dont ever feel confident facing them.

    See ya at the Pro Bowl Suggs, to every other Ravens player/fan GREAT GAME image
  • MCMLVToppsMCMLVTopps Posts: 4,831 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Really a great game...the Pats just about handed it over with poor clock management at the end. Why not run one or two very safe running plays to really eat the clock. I thought the knee thing was really poorly planned. The Hail Mary could have gone the other way very easily...what a horror that would have been with no time left !! Gotta hand it to the Ravens and Flacco...great team and superb qb. He made one bad toss that the Pats were very, VERY fortunate to intercept. Game could have gone either way...luckily it went the Pats way.

    Well, the good news is the Pats have beaten both the Colts and Broncos by 22 points earlier this season. Peyton is always tough to beat, but Tom Terrific in Foxborough is up to the task.

    Seattle - Pats in the big game.

    Hey Paul, I hope the Perkies kept you warm...was wondering, was it the game or the Perkies that had you so "drained"? image

  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    Colts coming to Foxboro next week.

    Manning going home!

    Will it be for good?

    I don't know if I ever mentioned this but ever since me and my Bostonian wife got married in 2005, we always have ourselves a Super Bowl party whenever her Patriots make the Super Bowl (sadly for her they just missed last year). Thing is though, they won three big silver trophies out of four years before we got married (2001, 2003, 2004) but since we got hitched they haven't gotten another one since...including 2007 where they let an undefeated season go to waste! I sure hope my Cats don't end up doing that this year!

    I hope this doesn't mean I'm a jinx or something. image Then again she's very much Red Sox first and they won three out of the last ten years so...

    Sounds like you found a pretty good wife to me.

    I too am Red Sox first but still love the Patriots as i grew up in Walpole just a couple of miles from Foxboro raceway which turned into the Patriots home.

    I actually lived in Walpole on Jean road but moved away at age 4. Possibly because my brother the pyro may have started a few firesimage That was 1971 .
