here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

http://www.nfl.com/videos/new-england-patriots/0ap3000000423515/Inside-the-NFL-Brady-fires-the-Patriots-to-victory

it is funny how much of a dork brady is. my favourite part of this was right at the end tho, when belichick comes over and brady's demeanour completely changes. looks like they have such a boss-employee relationship, and brady is terrified/overawed of bb.

idk for how long manning has just been coolly jogging off the field immediately after a td pass but it makes me love goofy jacked up brady even more.

this is the image the pats sent out with the email about bb's holiday raffle. i love that they scoured the archives for a smile and decided that him looking kinda puzzled was good enough. also the image filename is Belichick Large Blue Shirt.jpg which also needs recognition.

i will observe that from the description there the belichick foundation sound like one of the less worthy causes. might be better to help the truly needy and send 10 bucks to soldier field zzzzzing

niice!

Four of the incompletions were judged to be dropped and nine more were defended -- broken up, batted or intercepted -- by the Patriots. Both of those last two figures were season highs for Stafford. Seven of those defended passes were intended for receiver Calvin Johnson or Golden Tate. (Stafford targeted each of them with 10 passes and completed four apiece.)

from ESPN piece on stafford's performance highlighting bang up job pats pass defense did. not too shabby.

jamie collins is so good. the whole linebacking corps is looking nice right now but him, hightower and mayo (assuming he can ever get thru a season anymore) are str8 elite dudes.

tru

in other news bench browner

naw don't get carried away with those penalties. he is being told to play like that. and he's effective otherwise, a big drop off to the next guy at cb. also, some of those penalties, feeling where a receiver is is not a gddamn PI call, officials just too ready to flag his number, just like that fumble hit last week that they admitted was bs.

he has so many penalties man

the pi was a bad call, and i wholeheartedly supported the unnecessary roughness (both the act and the ensuing call).

collins is becoming a unique player in the league with his speed and timing. i love watching him blow shit up.

revis and ayers should get together tonight with some beers and the titans v jets game on dvr

no kidding, i'm not even sure it's reasonable to describe that thing as a football game from what i saw

lol

baltimore is clearly not very good/beat up but that match up still makes me nervous and i would so much rather have pittsburgh come to foxboro.

pittsburgh is welcome here anytime.

i'm never on this thread but i should probably post this early candidate for interview of the year: http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2015/01/06/a_gronking_to_remember_an_interview_with_lacey_noonan_author_of_rob_gronkowski.html

Lacey Noonan gives a good interview! My highlight:

I remember reading about how Kafka didn't want the "bug" on the cover of Metamorphosis. Gronk's spike impacts in a mystical, non-physical realm of Leigh's being. Although, quickly scanning my Word doc, I found that I wrote "between her butt-cheeks." So, jury's still out on that one.
