Couple nice little plays to start the Chargers off on this drive. Woodhead is so good in the passing game, was a shame when he left the Pats but great to see him bounce back after injury last year.

 

[Anon]

Yeah, he's been the perfect foil to allow Rivers to get it out really quickly.

 

[Anon]

Not only that, his blocking of the spy has been great too. Made Matthews a non-factor.

 

[kieran_vale]

What a great stop by Green Bay on fourth there to win it. San Diego are having one of them so near yet so far kind of seasons. Great win for Green Bay, they should be pleased the D stepped up when needed most even if you could probably question one or two of the previous plays down at the goal line.

And no Red Zone, when a game is down to the wire like this I couldn't give a fuck about your montage for the day.

Right then, next up Indy it's time for your visit to the woodshed and take the real "Deflategate" punishment.

That was pish from Redzone. Broadcasters in love with their own shtick to the detriment of actual viewer experience = BAD.

Your lot gonna slap the pish out of these filthy snitches, Kieran?

Got away with that one for sure. Defense and offense creaking, bye week coming perfectly, but looking at the positives conceding 500 yards through the air and rarely getting to Rivers, we only conceded 20 points.

Lacy ain't Lacy, Cobb is in too congested a midfield, and Montgomery is down too. Bakhtiari at RT has taken a backward step too, bullrushed all the time. Hoping a fresh week and Adams returning stretches the field and opens it up for both Rodgers and Lacy.

Right then, next up Indy it's time for your visit to the woodshed and take the real "Deflategate" punishment.

What's this 'deflategate' you speak of?

All I think it's safe to assume Carel is if we have a lead in the fourth then rest assured there'll be no easing up or putting in the back-ups. Brady will be doing downfield shots until the final play. Granted some might say Pats tend to do that anyway. Also I wouldn't be surprised if BB and his assistant Ernie Adams have spent the whole time since this finding more loopholes in the rule book to break out for this one.

I think Vegas had the line at Pats -9 which for a road team is extremely high given Indy in fairness to them are hardly one of the worst teams.

I will never stop loving the corniness of this intro. Never.

Hoping the Patriots do pull out a win, have got money on it...

 

[kieran_vale]

I will never stop loving the corniness of this intro. Never.

YES, it should never change.

Just seeing on fantasy I need about 18 points to beat Stagat and keep my unbeaten record. Be nice if Brady and Edelman can combine for that as well.

Loved that response from BB when asked about whupping Indy. His use of sarcasm is an artform.

 

[kieran_vale]

Indy done well on the opening drive. Not a fan of the way we were playing zone though.

Think that will stand as a TD, think his knee was just down first.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pats have done well since. Marched down the field at will almost on their first drive and force a 3 and out.

Bloody infuriating though that Edelman makes what looks like a good punt return and there it's pulled back for an illegal block in the back. Stupid fucking penalties like that are just so frustrating.

 

[Renegade]

Oh Julian.

Colts trying onside kicks and everything, they really want to win this game.

 

[kieran_vale]

Phew got away with that after the challenge. Nice idea to try it though by Indy.

Need to work Gronk into this a lot more now.

 

[kieran_vale]

HAHAHA Indy choke on that. Blount Force Trauma!!!

 

[Renegade]

The Colts have actually been decent against the run this season, Blount is just their kryptonite. Dion Lewis is quickly becoming one of the most fun players in the league to watch. He is like a mix of Sproles and Shady.

 

[kieran_vale]

Fair play to Luck that was a great drive in response helped by the DPI call on McCourty.

And completely agree Renegade. He has been a real find for us this year. Didn't know if we could get an upgrade on Vereen but he has been that and more.

Edit - what a play by Edelman to convert that fourth down. Looked for all the money in the world he would get stuffed.

 

[kieran_vale]

Gronk sighting at last.

Indy totally screwed that up.

 

[Stagat]

Just seeing on fantasy I need about 18 points to beat Stagat and keep my unbeaten record. Be nice if Brady and Edelman can combine for that as well.

Glad you've got more than you needed and not just enough. Means me messing up with my player choice didn't matter.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

What the fuck was that

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

That is the best trick play fuck up I have seen since the DC Racists had that swinging gate catastrophe on Monday Night Football about 6 years ago.

 

[kieran_vale]

Jesus fucking christ, there are no words

I actually saw a college game where they tried a two pointer with a similar formation but that is one of the dumbest things I've seen. Pagano's hubris there is going to come back and bite him if they lose now.

On another note I am really pleased with Easley tonight, has stepped up a lot.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Yessssssss

 

[kieran_vale]

Brady at this age actually seems to run quicker than I remember in the early part of his career.

TD Brady to Blount. Thanks for that Pagano.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

I'm just watching it on a loop on vine over and over again and laughing out loud. It's a thing of beauty.

Aye will not tire of seeing that for a very long time. Suspect that will get some mileage on NFL network and ESPN for the next week at least.

 

[kieran_vale]

That was an incredible play on the blocked PAT by Jamie Collins.

Anyway Pats win. Wasn't the blowout would have liked but will take the win any day. Fair few injuries tonight which is a downer.

But of course more than anything, that trick play. That could be as enjoyable as the butt fumble

 

[Anon]

Never seen that Washington play before, was hilarious. What were they trying to do, draw all the players to the players to the left and pass to the right?!

 

[.V.]

Have had my best fantasy score for the last few weeks, and I still lost!

 

[Bobbin']

I made a couple of selection errors but thankfully still looks enough to beat Tom.
