Cooks was very good, but that was a huge drop. If we’d lost, that and the Lewis fumble would’ve been the two inflection points.
Great point. Worth repeating.Underrated stat of the game:
Blake Bortles: 2 carries for -2 yards rushing. Unbelievable job keeping him in the pocket, and giving him no lanes to scramble. That, and stopping Fournette were the keys on defense this week, and the Pats did their jobs.
Boston Sports Museum with the bloody sock, Pierce's wheelchair and Gerry Cheevers maskDoes Brady keep wearing the thumb strap/patch thing even when he is healed? That was the best I'v seen him throw the deep ball in a while.
My entire non-New England timeline on twitter is absolutely fucking furious and thinks the NFL is rigged for the Pats because of the DPI call for Cooks on the drive that made it 20-17Also if you aren't a NE fan how much is your blood boiling right now?
This team was ripe for the pickings and somehow pulled out yet another improbably victory. After the D Lew fumble the collective anti-pats nation must have been at a fever pitch.
The optics look bad, but there were two huge holds not called on the Jags and two PF not called on Jack.Can't beat the refs...amazing.
On one of the biggest plays of the game, the Jags O Lineman shoved our pass rusher in the back on the ground directly in front of the official.
Refs gave in to their pass interference fatigue and stopped calling obvious ones on Jax. Etc.
Pats earned the hell out of that win, anyone who can't acknowledge it is purely jealous.
Where exactly are the ref complaints coming from?
Did someone say cheat?Brady for continuing to play Madden in cheat mode into his 40s.
Mostly that the Cooks PI call was a stretch.Where exactly are the ref complaints coming from?
No idea. Unhappy people can’t bother me today.Where exactly are the ref complaints coming from?
A place of jealously and envy.Where exactly are the ref complaints coming from?
The entire nation is so butthurt it's hysterical.Can't beat the refs...amazing.

That was an amazing catch and incredibly difficult. I’d consider that trade a win.Surprised only 1 mention of Dorsett so far, that was a heck of a catch with the game on the line.
My Pats hater friends are imploding in a vortex of hatred and I cannot decide whether beautiful or hilarious is the more apt adjective.Also if you aren't a NE fan how much is your blood boiling right now?

He definitely made contact with Lewis while fighting for the ball. He was down by contact.Small observation, but curious about something. On the Lewis fumble, was Jack down before he threw it on the ground? It was driving me crazy that they never really showed a replay of what happened after that. Did it go out of bounds? I didn't think he was down, but the broadcasters never asked that question. Maybe inconsequential if it bounced out of bounds, but what if he was not down and a) he could have run for however many more yards? b) if a patriot had recovered after he slammed it to the ground?
Agreed. I think he has a long and illustrious career ahead of him.Guys, this Brady kid is pretty good.
http://thesteelersfans.com/forums/threads/jags-vs-cheatriots-gameday-thread.19013/page-16Someone find me a thread of Steelers fans talking about James Harrison in this game
At least according to ESPN Van Noy was credited with the sack. He blew up Yeldon.He has already been mentioned by James Harrison on the final two plays of the game came up huge. First with the sack and second pressuring Bortles and moving him off his spot.
Refs were letting them play, the penalties called on the Jags were far from ticky tacky, and their corners played aggressive all game. Got away with some, didn't with others, that's how it goes when you play this style of defense. Just ask the Seahawks or the '14 Patriots. Pats don't really play like that, and it's not like refs were calling holding or illegal contact on every opportunity. Seems like the usual cry fest. They were up 10 points with the ball in the 4th quarter.the refs are being brought up because we only had one penalty called on us the whole game, a kickoff return hold, and clearly that can't possibly be right in an NFL game because no NFL team could possibly be that disciplined.
Those fans are crazy and must have watched a different game.magnifique!
