Seriously? 3 and out and they get a freaking punt blocked. Great way to start the season where its SB or bust :|

Well this is a little better. Anyone know who caused that fumble?

Never mind. Crapfest right now. Would be nice if they could protect Brady for more than two seconds or stop Moreno for once.

Run defense was awful although Moreno seems to have our number..

OLine needs to regroup fast!

Edelman, Vereen, Conolly and Denard all on the IR.

Hopefully nothing serious for anyone.

Posted this in the season thread already, this forum really doesn't need the clutter so I feel like we should just discuss it in there.

Seriously though? Mankins was OVERRATED this is a great deal for us that frees up tons of money. If Wright produces decently, that's just icing on the cake.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't very sad to see him leave, but its not 2010 anymore, he's choked in the playoffs the past few years, and his pay no longer fits his performance. This is a great, great trade for us AND the Bucs.

I'm an idiot. Smh at myself

Losing Ridley will hurt us more than folks think IMO

I'm on the fence with Ridley. Last year he was a great runner but fumbled too much. This year, he hasn't fumbled, but hasn't looked that sharp.

I think Mayo is the far bigger loss, but also something that can be overcome. He's a big run stuffer, but luckily this league has turned into a passing game, and we can place someone like Tavon Wilson, or that Skinner kid in there.

This offense has been on point the last two games. Looks like they got their crap turned around. As much as I loved the defensive years, I can't begin to say how much more I enjoyed watching Brady and co. put up points circa 2007-2012. I've been bored to tears this season for some of these games. Seeing Brady air it out to Tyms, and Lafell break free, and gronk is so much better.

Why did Wright play so little?

The loss of Ridley & Mayo is definitely going to throw a monkey wrench into things.
While we do have others who can step up, it all just seems to be on a tight rope, that's held together by a string and chewing gum.

f-in hell.

out title hopes were hanging by a thread anyways, i think this puts a fork in em. well, if we're lucky we have another AFC championship game loss to the broncos to look forward to.

Love the guy, I'm sure he could come back, but mayo has been made of glass recently. I mean ****, we all thought amendola was truly made of glass, but he doesn't get targeted, so there's no "kids playing ball in the house and break moms vase" chances available

The weird thing is before the past two seasons he played 75 out of 80 games.

What about the Law Firm? I wonder what's wrong with him though, 29 years old, cut by the Bengals, and still isn't signed anywhere.

in the AFC,(and with home field advantage throughout if all goes well) the only team I fear in Foxboro is the RAVENS! ..I would not drop a tear if the Ravens miss the playoffs..
