Before I take a second journey what was the biggest win since the 2007 AFC Championship game, I just had to get my snap reactions to down. Haven’t really looked at any stats, or even highlights. Just been letting this impressive win soak in. It’s been a while since we’ve seen we’ve had one of these.
I don’t know what happened to the defense at the end of regulation and overtime where suddenly they looked like a real professional defense. It’s fun watching these young players grow before our eyes.
Surprise #1 was Brandon Deaderick playing LDE, with Gerard Warren at nose and Big Vince at RDE. Deaderick has good size and it’s clear the defensive line did a standout job containing that cocky little Ray Rice.
Ninkopoop is good. Solid. Tough. Comes to play. I like him more and more each week.
It’s like bizarro Patriots world right now with Welker and Branch out there together. It’s like Brady two all time favorite little toys have been united. I think it means good things.
Still not sure how Julian Edelman is fitting into the offense right now. Any one else kinda disappointed with him?
Any one else catch Wilfork pulling Jermaine Cunningham and Patchung away from Leron McClain in the 3rd quarter. I loved that the Patriots were rattling the Ravens cages early. It’s a good way to get them off their game and later paid off with McClains shove on Cunningham in overtime that made a long 3rd down even longer for Baltimore.
What’s up with Dane Fletcher suddenly playing in what I believe was a new nickel or dime package? Really like his size, just not sure if he’s being used in coverage or for pass rush.
Speak of pass rush…. everyone saw it right? Two words… CRAZY motherf’ing LEGS! Shawn Crable getting pressure, y’all. Can’t wait to really focus on him in the re-watch.
Crumpler is now a captain along with Mayo? Clearly he is well respected as a leader. Adalius Thomas however, is still unemployed.
Suggs, shut your yap, you uruk hai-looking pos.
Let the record show it was Patchung!s TD saving blasting of Mason that kickstarted the whole comeback.
Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Spikes, and Jerod Mayo are showing up more and more.
Not sure what TBC’s been reduced to, clearly Cunningham/Ninko are the top 34 OLBs. It makes sense to keep TBC fresh for pass rush.
Mike Wright getting a sack with some push up the middle. Just what we needed.
Still excited, can’t wait to go back and see what happened. If that makes sense.
