A game on Fox....rare. Let's knock Kolb out of the game and make em put in Ryan Lindley. Expect a big win for the home crowd.

Go Pats!!!

Pats have beating the cards their last 5 meetings, and the cards have gotten worse this year. Expecting a win.

Pats don't lose these games. Ever.

Interesting to see just how good this run defense is. Arizona doesn't have anyone really, and a shaky O line. Pats should diminate in the trenches. Only chance I really see of Arizona scoring is a broken play maybe and a blown coverage down field.

Arizona's good enough in the secondary that Brady might take some time to get in rythym, but I don't see them getting shut down. Ridley shoudl baalnce it out with another big day.

Pats roll 34-14

What a terrible start.

Yep. With the injury it's such a **** game.

And then sacked twice in a row. Then they run it to gain 5 yards when they have 30+ to go. Wouldn't you think they'd at least try to throw it for 30+ years instead of trying to run it? What the ****.

At least Hernandez was back on the field.

Nevermind. That was that Hooh guy

This game has not been what it should have been. Disappointing

They had so many opportunities with starting on Arizona's side of the field but they have nothing to show for it. This is what drove me nuts last year. Obviously you can't win every game but they're putting out multiple steamers on the field right now.

Need a stop now...

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm going to be sick....

That's Cundiff-esque right there. Luckily it's not a huge game but I hope he get's reamed all season for this.

I already hate kickers enough. It's just worse when they get kicked to kick a damn egg and win/lose the game while everyone else is out there breaking bones and **** like that.

I heard Hernandez is out for at least 6 weeks.

Man that sucks.

At least 6 weeks? Yikes yikes yikes! More Welker please.

Lets get to mid-season with only 2 losses if we can.

This line stinks and they are going to get Brady and/or Ridley killed. Beg and plead to get Water to come back in.

It's Welker time right now and I expect him to have a huge game against the Ravens next week.

October at the earliest.

This was that classic trap game. Ravens dropped a close one as well.

James Sanders was helping them figure out our tendencies and our guys were probably looking ahead somewhat to next week.

to me it look8ed like they game planned around hernandez and when he went down brady didnt know where to go for the most part. gronk had an awful game and wasnt where he was supposed to be a lot of the time. the whole performance was garbage outside of that last drive.

but its only game 2. not going to read to much into the outcome of this season until week 10 or 11 like usual.

Whether or not they game planned around Hernandez, I have to say that Brady in recent years increasingly looks like he is trying to force the issue too much to me. It's as if he has become too reliant on guys like Welker and Gronkowski. At least situationally. It's tough to argue with his numbers but I feel like it would be healthy for him to go back to playing without Welker/Gronk/Lloyd/Hernandez for a few games.

In any event I don't see Fernandez as a guy who should be a big loss, particularly at this point in the season. Gronk is the new Randy Moss, and Brandon Lloyd is no Reche Caldwell. Then there is Welker & Gaffney & Edelman with Ridley occasionally lining up.

They also signed Kellen Winslow who should be a decent pickup if he's not as dumb as Ocho was. Over 700 yards last year in TB.
