***OFFICIAL NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS SEASON THREAD*** (13-4) - Patriots @ Broncos - Sun 3:05PM EST - Bra

[prez t]

thinking back to the last time we played:

for the broncos:
they didn't have julius thomas, he'll play this time around
DRC left the game at halftime. he'll play this time around
von miller played (and was a force), he's out
chris harris played, he's out for them this time
champ bailey did not play last time, he'll play this time around.

for the pats:
gronk played (as always, made an impact), he's out this time around
spikes played (9 tackles), he's out this time around
thompkins played (6 catches), he's questionable to play this time around
dobson played (no real impact), he's questionable to play
siliga wasn't around, he's in for this one.

lot of moving parts for both teams since we last played. then mix in uncharacteristic turnovers and weather conditions from last time. this is quite a different matchup from earlier in the season.

Vereen also wasnt in the 1st match up for the Patriots

that's my bad. i could have sworn he did play in that first matchup

 

[str8drop]

Nah vereen did play, he was pretty active in the passing game

Dobson is back at practice, level of participation unknown at this point. Punter Brian Allen also in uniform at practice.

Brady missing from practice, along with our long snapper. People are guessing he's practicing holds in the indoor practice bubble. ******g stupid if the plan is for Brady to hold on XPs and FGs. the hell is Mallet doing? too busy? Unless we plan on running some fake FGs, which is stretch.

DSA, I know that was just a blip and you meant punter Ryan Allen...most def happy to hear about him back at practice along with Dobson

Agree 100% as to why the heck Mallet isnt taking this week to work on holding...long snapper Danny Aiken and Brady working together if true makes me SMH...there is a million other things more important for Brady to be doing with this offense when Mallet can finally contribute holding if need be

Vereen was my x-factor this year until as of late...after his injury that catching ability has most def suffered...i would love to see him out there at WR not just coming out the backfield, but so hard for me to trust him right now...where is Faulk when i need him???! would love it if BB called him up to help coach up Shane over the past few weeks

for my betting peeps, how 'bout that Pats line going from +6.5 to +4.5 and up again to +5.5? my bank account gonna be nice after we deal a L to the Broncos come this Sunday

whoops on the Brian / Ryan goof

can't wait for this weekend to get here. the build up to this game is killing me. hoping TB12's "illness" is nothing more than an upset stomach.

his illness is having to put up with Brady/Manning talk...he must have loved not having to do his Wednesday presser

Pats road underdogs gonna make Tommy a very angry boy come Sunday at 3:00pm

CAN
NOT
WAIT

Brady's back at practice

 

[nooera]

Hoping the Pats can just come out and smack these dudes in the mouth. The Broncos are stacked talent wise, but the Pats have that grit factor to me right now. They just seem tough and relentless. Ready for this game.

 

[DeadsetAce]

full house at practice EXCEPT LB Steve Beauharnais

waiting to see the injury report today. dobson

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe 2m
This morning, a reporter told Tom Brady weed is legal in Colorado. Brady responds, "Are you excited about that?"

Mary Paoletti ‏@Mary_Paoletti 13m
Practice report: LB Steve Beauharnais DNP -- yet another Patriot out for illness. P Allen, WRs Dobson and Thompkins listed as "Questionable"

Mary Paoletti ‏@Mary_Paoletti 12m
Amendola (Groin), Dennard (Knee/shoulder), Fletcher (Groin), Hightower (Ankle), Mankins (Ankle), and Vereen (Groin) are all "Probable"

 

[prez t]

Dobson will play , even if its on a very limited basis . its the AFC Championship game for crying out loud

 

[DeadsetAce]

we need the receivers...all of them...to step it up. edelman is going to be blanketed. vareen as a RB should find some favorable matchups if he gets motioned out to receiver. ******g danny amendola NEEDS to show out this weekend. KT and AD...give me SOMETHING please.

 

[dcs23]

my x-factor at WR is Austin Collie...like DSA mentioned we know Broncos gonna be all over miniTRON...Vereen needs to catch the damn ball out the back and in general everyone else needs to put that #NextManUp mentality

so pumped for 3pm Sunday

 

[franco23x]

Not a Pats fan but wish you guys the best... may the power be with you.

Brady da Gawd...

 

[kal-el-8]

I can't wait for BRADY DA GAWD to DESTROY the PEASANT that is manning.

Brady >>>>>>

 

[cash money 1999]
