Thursday Night Football: Chiefs @ Patriots Thursday Night to Kickoff Season

He missed Edelman and shoulda been chucking it to Gronk more.

16 of 36? Ouch.

Smith looked well, Brady-like last night.

edelman is a HUGE loss. people forget how much brady relied on him, and how good he was, on 3rd down.

I think Amendola is a really good fill in that role...6 for 100, but he will just never be dependable for 16

Yup.

"In the previous three seasons, Brady has a 106.9 passer rating when Edelman's on the field. And in the nine games without Edelman, Brady's passer rating drops to 86.4 -- which is below the league average of 89.5."

Recent history provides one big reason why Tom Brady could struggle this season

hes not edelman. not close.

edelman can make a guy drop his pants cutting. not so much amendola.

pretty quiet here today

most people here arent happy they lost, but kinda glad they did...if that makes sense. slap em back down to earth now vs week 13.

LOL


This guy really is for real.

I didn't read all of these posts but please tell me that they're aren't any Pats fans offering excuses

Patriots were outplayed and, yes, outcoached

Maybe not, but he was on his way to having a better game than Edelman had in all of 2016, save the final game vs Miami

At least last night, Amaendola replacing Edelman wasnt in the top 50 of why they lost

Rock always puts lipstick on that pig

its a fair take.

losses suck, especially at home, especially week 1 after a banner ceremony, with all the 19-0 talk.

all that gets put to bed, now. done. no more.

best thing that could have happened to this team IMO. brady was right. attitude.

amendola is always good for a clutch catch or 2, going high up to get it.

edelman is just always there.

Naaah, No reason to think losing that game is good

I havent heard that take anywhere this morning

They may go 15-1, but I dont think its because of last night

You know, I didn't think of it that way.

Injuries to Amendola, Mitchell and Hightower probably was the best thing that could have happened last night.

LMFAO

Was anything said about Gronk possibly being injured after that diving TD dropped pass? He looked banged up to me and was almost non-existent after that. I thought I even saw some blood on his arm at one point.

Yeah. An injury to Gronk is the best thing that could have happened to the Patriots, I think.

I thought he was winded from landing on the ball
