Game Day Chatter Thread | Week 7 | Eagles at Cowboys | 10/20/19

[data]

We're like a slot machine defense...we put all the money in and walk away with nothing, but the machine's bloated for the next defense to get 777 interceptions and fumbles.

Last time Patriots lost in the AFC playoffs, Peyton Manning was still playing.

*On his last legs with a great D.

Give the Jets fans credit. There are more Jets fans in the stands at 32-0 then there are at Chargers' opening kickoff.

 

[data]

Most impressive aspect of this Patriots' win?

Only 2 penalties. Even the NFL said "fuck it, let this be the game where we prove the conspiracy theorists wrong".

 

[data]

Crazy to think this team won a Super Bowl last year and an All-Pro TE Gronk was holding their offense back from full potential.

6 turnovers for the Jets.

 

[data]

NBC kept showing the statistic last night that, since 2002, 4-3 teams make playoffs 51% and 3-4 at 14%.

Hope it's not an indicator of another unfortunate statistic at the end of this year with the Eagles winning the division.

Can we get Chris Richard to study the Patriots defense? Cause they, like you know, force turnovers. Not really the week to complain after a 4 TO game, but we all that was a huge outlier.

I'll be damned. That's dumb.

It really is but it’s common practice now even down to the high schools.

Pats defense is putting up just insanely stupid numbers this year.

Already two shutouts in 7 games. Two other games the team allow 7 pts and 3 pts. 48 pts allowed for the season.

Pats D leads in scoring defense, total defense, 2nd in rush defense and pass defense, 1st in opposing QB rating allowed (unbelievable rating, 35.6), first in interceptions (18, nobody else is even in double digits yet), first in yds per attempt and opposing comp%, 2nd in QB sacks, have allowed only ONE passing TD, and first in 3rd down conversion % (only 14.3% conversion rate)

This is epic level stuff they are doing this year, and its not like their defense is loaded with 10 all pros either.

Latest word is recovery will be 4 possibly 3 weeks

And even if he is back that defense that they field won't allow them to win.

Pats have 3 individual players with at least as many ints as we have as a TEAM. One player has 2 more picks by himself than we have as a team.

I think they have a legitimate shot to go undefeated this year

Yeah their schedule is pretty favorable. Only one tough game on the road (Ravens) and home games vs us, Chiefs and Bills.

We'll probably get absolutely waxed when we go there. Chief defense is a sieve. That leaves Ravens and Bills.

Certainly looks like worst case scenario for them is 14-2 or 15-1.
