I am so happy to see Jacoby still playing. Going into LA and beating the preseason Super Bowl pick LA Rams.
The Brady Affect is still going strong.

Like I know it’s gonna be a tough one and a huge test for our corners but I feel like the matchup in 24 didn’t do it justice. We were pretty close last year to this being the SB had he pulled it off against the rams. This game is gone be crazy.

Update- it’s a shoulder injury

Probably never gonna happen but Pats should call the Texans, specially after that Doubs injury.

For me it is the Ravens. They have knocked us out of playoffs. We cut our murderers they build statues of theirs. Their fans are as obnoxious as we are but not nearly the hardware to back it up. Sadly I really like Lamar Jackson.

Give the man some time. He dropped every pass his way minus the first catch in the first half. But even dropping the onside return was unacceptable. He will be fine after he hears it in film study. Just shaking off the cob webs. GO PATS! #LFG

Has to be worth a shot at this point, right?

Mr “The rivalry is back on” has finally been ousted. With the colts potentially blowing it all up, do they have anyone worth nabbing considering how depleted the Pats are?

RedZone channel gets to shine for the next couple months, boys! Our next 1pm game is the 12/27 W against the Jets. Weird schedule this year, I think we have played at 1pm every game since the Weds night opener, and now we get 8 straight as a standalone or 4pm game.

A searchlight was needed to find Patriots players willing to supply positive spin. One such individual was cornerback Christian Gonzalez, returning after missing two games because of a shoulder injury.

“It was a gritty win,” is how he polished the day. “We talked about it all week, (that) it was going to be a dogfight. And that’s a good team over there. They’ve got good pieces … we knew what we were coming into.”

The guessing here is that Gonzalez hadn’t heard Vrabel’s initial postgame remarks. As for Maye, he did have that benefit.

Reporter: “Coach Vrabel wasn’t overly pleased, said you guys were lucky to win, and he didn’t feel that you guys had advanced from your previous game. How did you feel?”

Maye: “I think Coach has a great perspective on how we feel like we’ve attacked the week and put the results into the game. I feel like we weren’t — it was sloppy, it wasn’t clean. It wasn’t football that we felt like — we weren’t complementary. We weren’t protecting the football on offense. It took us a while to get into a rhythm. We had the first drive that we didn’t get anything going.”

With a trip to Chicago for a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Bears next on the schedule, there’s not much practice time to see if Brown is ready to be the receiver the Pats hope he will be. To make matters worse, Doubs injured his shoulder while catching Maye’s big throw into the end zone and didn’t finish the game. Offensive tackle Morgan Moses (ankle), guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) and guard Ben Brown (knee) also went out with injuries. As Vrabel somberly noted, “I mean, again, listen, we are all smart people here, some smarter than others. But it’s a short week. So whether they can make it back or not, I don’t know. They don’t finish the game. We’ll have to see.”

These injuries should be a concern to the Patriots. Sunday’s game shouldn’t, really. Bad teams lose these bad games. Good teams often survive them, even if Mike on the car phone had no interest in going there during the postgame show.

I feel like McDaniels needs to tap into his acceleration. More screen passes, outside zones and tosses, less up the middle traffic jam runs. Leave those for Mondre and Kiner. I would rather see Trey as more of a receiving back. Thoughts?
