Pats up next

hagan714 · 10-07-2013, 06:50 AM

Warning the Patriots are one of the best bounce back teams in the NFL. We are again going to face one of the better defenses in the NFL on their turf.

Now we are entering the really hard part of the schedule. The Pats will come up with probably the best defense scheme to slow the saints down of any team so far.

we are 5 - 0 and there is nothing better for the Pats to do than hang that first loss on us.

This should be a slug fest.

It's gonna be tough, and it's gonna be ugly, but we've been here before.

Well out of the Bears or the Pats, I'm good with beating the Bears. The Pats are not all that, I like our chances.

'Tis true me thinks, that the Pats are not "all that", but they don't suck. I think it's our biggest test yet, and while I don't admit it to my Pats-Fan friend, Brady is as good as anybody in the business. When he's "on", just like Drew or Payton, he's tough to beat.

We win, of course, but it'll be a dogfight, especially early on. That's my .02.

I think that we are a better team. However, I have an unhealthy fear of the Patriots and know they are really going to be ready to kill after losing to Cincy like that. Hence, I will be stocking up on extra booze for this game. A fan's got to be prepared.

I thought we was going to lose to the Bears for the fact they were coming off a loss the previous week. IMO they put up much more of a fight at 3-1 than they would of had they been 4-0.

We may see the same thing with the Patriots next week as well.

Us not at home
Gronk return

It's gonna be a gd one. Long as we stop Brady like cin we should have no problemos. Plus Bunkley/Walker possible return. Have we been using J.Rich? If not we should cut him and shop a olineman.

There is no guarantee of a Gronk return, he has supposed to have returned 2 weeks in a row now.

Had he been active with just minimal use yesterday I might think he would get full play. He was Out.

I'm just saying that would be a good time to come back.. Since they're at home and he's playing the one te that's in his league. If he doesn't o well but we should prepare as though he is..

We always prepare as if they can play. For Gronk the only good time to come back is when he is healed and ready. Opponent doesn't matter. The patriots are AFC East, we are a non division, non conference opponent and our game is one of the least important games for him to return in.

TEs do not play each other so the outcome in regards to performance is moot. If he were a CB or a S then it would be different.
