They played a damn good game tonight... why can there never be credit? Some impressive o-line play, great coverage from aqib (contract year), still a lot of growing pains with the rookies. They don't even have their 2 best players on offense.

Nuh-uh, it's because they drafted hall of famers Julian Edelman, Matt Slater, and Aqib Talib.

they're not going to call something like that in that situation. they technically were "holding" him at the snap and if gonzalez got downfield and they continued to do it they likely throw the flag, but gonzalez wasn't making much of an effort on a couple of those to get off the line
keep ya head up dawg.

Falcons need a new play caller so bad. Going for it on 4th down early, not running on 3rd and 1, onside kick with 3 minutes left and 3 timeouts, etc.

I thought they were decent tonight given who they lost during the game. Though ATL is probably a bad team

We beat teams without our top playmakers and we went into Atlanta and won without our best defensive player. I dont know what we have to do to be labeled a good team.
Amazing how the Pats free up their receivers with motion and bunch/trip stacks. Pick guys off, gain of 5-7. Rinse repeat.
Reminds me how the Bills don't motion enough, current coaches anyway. You have to free guys up sometimes, and the Pats do it better than anyone else.
Most definitely.
You stopped a pretty one dimensional team tonight, good job I guess. Was the run ever a serious threat for the Pats tonight? Wilfork out and the Falcons couldn't do a thing on the ground. Props to the redzone D, though they've always been pretty stout in the redzone.

What do you care what you're labeled as long as you're winning?
That last one was the correct play. A chance at getting the ball back was worth more than likely field position.

Its not our fault they suck
We never are going to get that benefit, just enjoy the win, 4 and 0 its still good.
Well, that's not what he said. Said you beat two rookie QBs, which is a fact, beat Freeman who is working his way out of the league at this rate, and Ryan who didn't have a good game in the redzone.
It's hardly something to hang your hat on. And before you say "Broncos". They haven't beat anyone that has played well either.
I just started watching Breaking Bad tonight. Sounds like I missed a fun sunday night game. ah well.

So basically you're telling me it's between the Falcons and Packers for the last NFC wild card and guaranteed Super Bowl victory?Falcons

lol at that avatar.
one month down already, been a pretty wild start.
What to make of Chip Kelly? Are the Eagles that untalented? Done nothing to improve that team so far. Not blaming him, D is shit and his QB is wreckless. Expected more to be honest.
Maybe the Atlanta fans can chime in, but their OL/DL is what holds them back, issues at LB due to injury as well/ You can have all the weapons in the world, but when you get worked up front it's going to catch up with you.
It's nice to beat teams they should have beaten. Ryan doesn't lose at home very often so it's nice to go in there and dominate up until falling apart in the last five minutes unfortunately.
You could also say the Patriots played without Wilfork the last three quarters as well, probably their best defensive player. And Matthew I don't need to take a Mulligan caught a touchdown pass. Put it in perspective, the Pats aren't the most talented team offensively anymore with the exception of maybe their offensive line.

Im just glad to be in this spot with the players we have. The defense is winning the games this year. Last year they probably lose this game.
There you go Gator, not even if we beat the Broncos, we can be considered good.

So many 500 teams.
All of the teams in the AFC North (except the Steelers, heh) are 2-2.

And the AFC right now is better than the NFC! Wooo

I don't know what the argument is.
I don't need facts to know that even at 4-0, the Pats suck and Tom Brady has no penis!
Defense has improved, but they still aren't good. It's a nice step in the right direction though. Even though they have played some bad teams/qbs last years defense would have lost these games. Solid win for the Pats considering they lost big Vince. If he is out for any real length of time the Pats defense is fucked.
Who gives a fuck. In 2010 they steam rolled most of the good teams in the AFC and still choked in the playoffs. They just have to stack the wins to get that first round bye. If it's against shitty teams than so be it.
Who is in your avatar anyway?
I'm watching this game and you saw it live midway through the fourth quarter - the moment the Pats broke the Falcons D and turned on coast mode. It's really a small miracle that the Falcons made it the game they did. All that good fortune should have won them that game cuz that Patriots team wasn't mustering shit, aside from Talib.
Only an NFC team could fuck up the will of God.

If you dont need facts then there is nothing more to talk about then.
