Game Thread: Patriots @ Chargers

New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers


This is your Patriots @ Chargers game thread.  Can Matt connect with Moss?  Can the running game with a bouncy Maroney and no Jordan be effective?  Is Belichick's new "speed package" on defense speedy enough?  8:15 is when we find out.

who thinks that when Brady whent down, we should have picked up Duante Culpepper?

You know honestly

Duante would have Fit the Scheme pretty well, I Think you Reunite him with Randy and he’s easily the best QB in the League.

It would’ve been a tough transition for him, learning a new offense that is by all accounts, ridiculously hard.. Why dumb it down when they had a kid who knew it already..

First Half

- Far too much pressure on Cassel. Left side of the line is crap
- Cassel should forget about the long ball to Moss
- Stay with Welker and march down the field
- We’re really missing Jordan
- Deltha O’Neal is having a rough night
- PASS RUSH RIVERS!!

awful awful awful

1st and goal from the 1 and we can’t punch it in. The offensive line’s inability to control the line of scrimmage is really shortening the playbook. Cassel looks really indecisive on play actions too.

I think...

… O’Connell needs to get a look in the 4th. Either that or force Brady onto the field with one leg.
