Great chess match from both sides today.

Hell of a scheme by NE, running two receivers into that middle zone, making Jack choose the wrong one to cover.

TD NE.

And now the bear has been poked. HUGE series for the young Jags.

And....just like the script always goes...TD. In the history of football, no one is better at slow playing opponents than the Pats. They act like total chumps on offense for 3 quarters, and then BOOM....switch into a new gear. and every defense falls for it, still! I am not a Pats fan (despite my proximity) but you do have to appreciate it.

Are you actually saying the Patriots sort of don't try for three quarters so that they can come back and win? You may not be a fan, but you seem to be getting the same kool-aide.

Great drive by the Pats, especially that key 3rd and 18 conversion to Amendola - and two huge trick plays in the 4Q. Both worked, except for the fumble by Lewis. Then great stop by the Pats defense. Let's see if the Pats have another comeback in them.

LOL you would make a perfect opposing coach. 'Pats don't seem so tough...it's 4th quarter...we're up by 10, we got this.'

They run a conservative offense in an effort to make the opponent settle in and feel comfortable at half time and beyond, and don't feel pressured to break out of it even if they are down 7 even 10 points. then switch everything in the 4th. they would rather be ahead, don't get me wrong, but they don't believe in playing a game of lead changes....if they are down the lead changes once....right at the end.

As always who knows if they will pull it off AGAIN today....but I suspect everyone watching this game is going....'here we go again'.

Amazing catch and foot drag by Amendola, who dominated that last drive with a great punt return and another great catch on the drive. Now we'll see what the Jags have.

Game over - how the hell do you let a guy get 10+ when you know they're going to run? Bad D there.

Huge INT and return for a TD - woke the Eagles and their fans up. Eagles now on a very good drive. Philly - New England in the SB.

Way to early for that, but like the way the Eagles have looked after that opening drive by the Vikings.
