Holding ne to 30 is about as good as you could ask for. Hopefully we will see them again , next time with a full strength offense

Loved the play from our D-Line; Hardy looked great, which opened things up for other guys.

Maybe this is the wrong opponent to make this complaint, since the Pats commit very few turnovers in general, but this defense is just not generating turnovers - and that has a been a huge problem. They've had some chances too. We're constantly having to win games with a negative turnover differential, which simple math will tell you is a significant problem. Especially when you're down your starting QB.

Really? I think he looked average to awful most of the game. Another CB that has absolutely no ball awareness, he's absolutely weak as well. I understand Gronk is tough, but being nearly decleated by a freakin' stiff arm? Dude is a child in a man's league. People here are talking about him being a FS?

Looks like a third to fourth round talent. Not impressed, keep him near the bottom of the roster with the bum Patmon.

Well Gronk was held scoreless with a season low in targets, yards, and receptions (tied). I'd say that warrants some credit.

Sean Lee cant get off blocks and keeps getting caught up in the wash since Philly. Carr must have pictures of Jerry. Claiborne tackles like my grand mother. Church needs freshen up his resume. Wilcox needs to move to the box.

You serious? Jones did about as good a job as there could've been done on Gronk. You don't shut that guy down, but he at least didn't let him completely take over the game and dominate that matchup.

I haven't seen much love for Corey White... I think White played pretty darn good and has taken the position from Patmon, and Patmon's not bad as a 4th CB...

You didn't watch the game.
