We did one better by making the Pats game completely irrelevant Are you following the NFL playoff race? The game is far from “completely irrelevant”. We could drop out of the 2 seed with a loss. In addition, over the past 20 seasons BB had provided the league with blueprints on how to beat us. Countless losses to these guys have turned our seasons into rubble. It’s important that we win and send that team a message that there is a new sheriff in the AFCE. Do not expect the Pats* to rollover either. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team isn't worried about what ESPN etc thinks. It's all about the inner confidence. They are a confident bunch already but a conclusive win at Foxborough would certainly reinforce that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams practice punching the ball out, in fact they practice that more than in the past. By your standard any big play that is a result of practice should be attributed to luck, you’re right I don’t see it that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 We should’ve lost to the Patriots in the 1st game but we also should’ve beat the Cardinals. If we can replay those games 100 times. The Patriots probably would beat us 70% of the time. We would beat the Cardinals 99% of the time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Tampa in early '91. The Giants DC Bill Belichick sold out pass coverage against a young and arrogant Jim Kelly. Every time we handed off to Thurman Thomas he ripped off huge gains. But Jim wouldn't back down from a challenge to his K-gun offense and kept throwing. And we all know how that turned out. The moral of the story is don't be a dummy, take what the defense gives you. 20 hours ago, chris heff said: And haven’t you heard?

Bobby Hooks Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’ve never really understood people caring so much about the Pats, it was never a rivalry. They weren’t good when we were good in the 90’s, we haven’t been good for this last decades long stretch, now they’re irrelevant. Its never been a thing, we beat up on them, they beat up on us. I agree with the posters saying it’s even a bigger statement that we don’t even have to try for this one. Whats the 2 seed? It’s silly, no bye, barely any fans if any, and quite frankly Josh and the offense play better when weather isn’t a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If my memory serves me, weren’t we missing Tre, Milano, and Hyde the last time we played NE? Wasn’t Tre Edmunds playing essentially with one arm? Our #1 CB for that game was Josh Norman. This is a completely different team that NE is going to face tonight. I expect Allen to have a huge game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
