Sooo The Pats score an Average of almost 28 points and the Falcons will happily give up closer to 30.

And the Falcons can reliably score 20 points but the Pats will try to limit them to 18.

I'll say 31 - 17 Pats win.

Cordarell Patterson has been their main offensive weapon because Ridely is out and Gabriel has never become what they expected him to be. No more Julio has severely limited Ryan's passing targets. Patterson has a severe high ankle sprain and hasn't been able to preactice, yet he's a game time decision. He hasn't practiced for over two weeks and they'd chance him reinjuring against the Patriots with no practice or testing it in limited practice?? Me thinks not.

Falcons are going into a gun fight with a nightstick.

Mac plays for 3 quarters and comes out ahead 35-10. Hoyer plays for three series and Stidham gets to mop up.

Final looks like 49-13.

Why would Stidham be active?

Why would Stidham be active?

Not sure he is?

 

[nefansince75]

Not sure he is?

That's my point. I was responding to the comment about Stidham having mop-up duties. My guess, his only chance at mopping up will be after the game is over and the rest of the team leaves the showers...

Isn't he a FA next year anyway?

Isn't he a FA next year anyway?

I think next year is the final year of his four year deal.

I predict he's a Texan next year for a 6th round pick that eventually becomes a starting CB.

Actually I thinks he's a FFA as in free free agent because certainly nobody will pay him to be on their team...

Well if he is a FA and I think he would be URFA so there would be no trade value he could just be signed unless I misunderstand

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Unless I'm mistaken, which is possible, he is not a FA next season. Next season is the final year of his four year deal. If that is the case then the Pats can trade him for a 6th rounder this coming offseason and the Texans then will get a season to find out if he's worth a new contract(plus the 6th rounder).

That makes sense. Not sure why I thought this was year 4, but I think you are correct

As I type, the NFL Network is rebroadcasting the Patriots/Falcons SB game. I'm DVRing it.

Gross

 

[BigKen]

Not sure he is?

He was active this past Sunday. Not sure who is active or not for tonight.

My comment was made tongue in cheek because Hoyer played the 4th quarter against the Browns and if the patriots run it up tonight, he'll be in again in the fourth. My humor was that he would throw two TDs and that Bill would put in Stidham to stop the overkill.

 

[BigKen]

Active/Inactive lists have not been released as of 4:30 pm per NFL.Com

 

[sharkymcwrath]

if the patriots run it up tonight

After a few solid games us Pats fans are feeling a bit confident, eh?
