New England @ Arizona

[dgambill]

Tom who? Jimmy looks great so far. Edelman will have double digit receptions.

[PeterBowman]

No Brady or Gronk and Pat's up 10-0....hmmmmmmmm

[jvan1973]

I hate to say it,   But the hoodie is the best ever.   It doesn't matter who plays,   they will be prepared and will produce

[Jules]

Only adding insult to today if somehow the Pats do win without Brady and Gronk and a few others.

 

Sigh.

 

 

 

We can't win.

 

Coaching.......omg........their coaching is fantastic.

 

 

But, still a long ways to go in this game but I have been down a bit on Arians/Palmer since the NFCCG. Hope they can bounce back in this game.

[BloodyChamp]

Palmer looks off. But if he wasn't then the Pats would still be prepared.

 

The SNF intro was atrocious. The mid 90s alternative secondary hit intros and outros to the commercials are barely better.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Andrew Luck throws for 385 Yards, 4 TD's, no INT's, no Fumbles and puts 35 up and we lose. Bill Belichick rolls out a Highschool team (No Brady, No Gronk, etc.) against a team in the Cards that many think can win the SB and he is up 10-0 with Jimmy G. This league is comical sometimes.

[buffalo34]

So yeah, it's the system in the Patriots, right?

[jvan1973]

Who the F is chris hogan?

[teganslaw]

No Gronk, no Brady, no problem. And they're playing on the road.

 

I didn't like the SNF into, either. It just didn't seem to work.

There aren't many great coaches anymore.    Bill is head and shoulders above the rest.   And I hate the the guy

[Gramz]

Palmer looks off tonight.    And what the heck,  you're not allowed to be happy about recovering a fumble?

Yep. I agree. Not sure what his magic is or what he does different compared to other Coaches but he always seems to win. He went 11-5 with Cassel

[Fx Stryker]

Watching the Patriots just further proves that Belichick is the best head coach, if not over of the best ever.

 

He makes good players great, and great players HoF material. Without him I wonder where Tom would be.

[BloodyChamp]

It was a dumb penalty but Al and Cris are all WOOOWWWWWWW THEY'RE ALL THE WAY OUT OF PATS TERRITORY!!!!!!!!! Then rush for 4 yards into Pats territory. 

[buffalo34]

Just finally had the chance to watch the game with audio (was at a restaurant). Was Malcolm Butler called the Super Bowl hero the first time his name was mentioned?

I didn't see anything wrong with that celebration either. He wasn't  taunting the Pats sideline.

Didn't he play in Hogan's Hero's?

Cards not out of this yet. If today showed us anything teams are coming back into games left and right.

Hope they don't celebrate that TD too much,  may get a penalty.

Thanks for the quality reply back to me. Much appreciated.

That Tecmo Bowl commercial is ace. Who else was lucky enough to play that game in vs mode on the NES? And who else's right thumb would disagree on the lucky part lol!!!

Although I have and play the SNES version of Tecmo.

It's great how they got Bo to do that. The guy was untouchable in that game.

Bo and Barry were unstoppable

Probably spent more time playing that series of games than any other.  It sucked when the defense picked the play you called,   they became super human

On the 1st Tecmo I was always the Raiders and ran Bo a bunch. Even if the Defense called it it didn't matter. Then I would run Allen just out of fun while the Defense called the Bo play so I could get 10 easy yards.

except when running Bo. I could always squeeze him through the line barely then he was gone.

[2006Coltsbestever]

10-7 at Half. Belichick's highschool's no namers lead the mighty NFL Cards in Arizona  

[jvan1973]

How do you score that play in a ppr league?

[Jules]

OMG, lol. I am laughing so hard right now since the Patriots are just so ridiculous with how well coached they are and as underdogs.  

[BloodyChamp]

That was bad...the went for the INT on the throw and got burned, then went for the strip on the TD and well it was a TD.

I should give Belichick a call, even my old fat butt could excel in his Offense  This is embarrassing for the Cards.

[buffalo34]

So what if the Patriots go 4-0 in this stretch? Does it validate the argument that it's not so much the QB, but the coaching and the system?

Good luck getting pats fans to agree to that.

Az are one of the best teams in football. They may only need to go 1-0- to validate that along with Matt Cassell.

Imagine if we had the hoodie the last 18 years

Yes...Belichick made Brady more than the other way around.  When Tom fades away...Pats will be ok so long as they retain Belichick.  Let me go throw up now.

Heck, in 2011 I was cheering for the Colts to go 0-16 without Peyton so I could say he was literally worth every single win to that franchise.....was pretty close to that.

 

Patriots on the other hand look just fine, their next three opponents are all at home and are all weaker than Arizona, and in 2008, they lost Brady on the first game and was still in playoff contention (although in fairness, they had a very easy schedule and practically the same offense from the prior year that set records). Only missed the playoffs due to like a 4th or 5th tiebreaker.
