Patriots Football - "We're on a mission"

[Bruins Fan]

My take Buffalo stinks and the Pat benefited from some big penaltys.
On the up side Maroney is running hard,the got to start hitting him with some screens and get him out on the edge, he can be a load once gets around the corner.

Good win over the Jaguars today. Brady and the offense looked better than they have since London and the defense made a couple of key turnovers at key times. Looked like the 2007 Pats today. Nice for that to happen in a "Hats & T-Shirt" game.

Some thoughts:

Maroney ran very well early on but didn't play after he fumbled at the goal line. It will be interesting to see if there is any fall out from that.

Moss looked like he had something to prove, good I hope he feels that way the rest of the way. By the way, notice how Moss is Brady's first look in the end zone but Welker seems to be everywhere else.

I thought they would miss big Vince on run defense. I was wrong.

Tully Banta-Cain continues to improve week to week.

Nice to see Seau in the mix later in the game.

Welker is still my MVP.

AFC EAST Champs. Ahhh... that's nice , the world is back to spinning evenly on its' axis. Hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Nice win today. Maroneys fumble on the goal line was to much, he cost us the colts game doing that?
Morris was running like a man that was good to see.

That makes perfect sense. Welker is a little guy and gets open by finding space in the defense. When the play starts on or near the goal line the defense is tighter because there is less space to play in. So, it's harder for Welker to get open in these situations.

Moss on the other hand has height and can jump. So, even when he's covered . . . he's not covered. Smaller spaces don't affect him like they do Welker.

My mother-in-law was at the game today and said Vince was up in the Fidelity Clubhouse with his wife. She asked for an autograph and was told "if I give you one I have to give everyone one." Vince is my favorite player and I can understand he wants some level of privacy but if a fan asks for an autograph it should be given. If you don't want people bothering you go watch from Kraft's box or at home. If there were no fans willing to pay for tickets and paraphenalia, Vince would not be able to make a living playing a game.

Has anyone caught the interview Polian gave the NFN network?
The guy must be a senile old fool, and he must lose sleep over the Patriots?

What'd he say?

[Bruins Fan]

He was rambling about records and had to drag the Pats in.
It's all over NESN Spots Desk and Comcast Sports Centeral.

Yeah Polian is one of the worst GM's in the NFL....do you even know who he is?

Wow. sorry to hear about the welker injury. Pretty much ends the Patsies season.

what a senile old fool Polian was to decide to sit his starters so things like this don't happen.

As much as I don't like the Patriots, hate to see a very good player go down that way.

You obviously didn't watch the Colts game today..... because guess who started for the Colts? So your point goes out the window now doesn't it?

If he were out on the town, he is in the right to refuse to give an autograph but on game day in the Patriots facility, he should have given her an autograph. This is pr for the Pats and can only do them good if he signs and bad if he refuses. This is not the way that Kraft has trained his players.

Hate to admit it.......but I'm pullin' for the Pats to win today.

[TonySmith]

Kris Brown is the Pats best defensive player

[Mikey202]
