??Official Game Day Thread NE Pats vs Your Cleveland Browns??
-
Pats struggled at times on early downs against the DET zone running game. Where NE stood tall was on the gap/down power and 3rd downs - a lot of man coverage looks the Lions failed to exploit. Vice versa from the Lions who did pretty solid work limiting the Pats interior running game. It hurt watching Alim McNeil be a force for them in the middle while the Browns still struggle.
Difference was the Pats winning the turnover margin, extending drives here and there and finding a big more success throwing off ball action from early downs. All things the Browns deploy.
If Stef and co can continue to let us win the early downs with the run and ball action, we should be able to keep pace with a Pats offense suffering their own handicaps. But it's the relative weakness' in the trenches comparison that concerns me. Neither Barmore or Godchaux have been impressive in my limited watchings of them, which might upset Tex. But they're not so terrible that they look like they belong on the practice squad either, and that is where the Brownies lose this matchup.
Taking Pats +3 and sitting 50/50 on the Over at 43.

I'll post my goofy opinion over here, too:
I might watch this game live. Only because I'm wearing a big grey boot - broken toe. dammit.
Obviously to all, buttichek knows that Chubb is awesome and he'll work on stopxx, I mean, limiting him to as few yards near 90-100 as possible.
I think this game comes down to Devin McCourty, Kyle Duggar, and Jabril Peppers - if they can frustrate Brissett and nab some interceptions etc, that could be the way they win.
For the pats, if mac jones and damien harris, rb, can't go - Zappe can flat out play, too -
and at rb, Rhomondre Stevenson (?) is a serious big bruiser.
In a game of chess, the Browns may end up playing checkers and buttichek may look "brilliant" again.
Should be pretty interesting.
How about that GUARDINDIANS WIN LAST NIGHT EH ????? WOW !

There goes another INT by Briskett.

Jacoby too eager to make a play against his old team. That was an absolutely awful decision by him, had free real estate with his legs.

Good stop in the red zone though

The Njoku - Dugger matchup isn't a net positive for CLE when we run David as a more 'traditional' Y. But splitting him out wide and it gives a little more space for DN to work with and forces Kyle to give some ground up or risk being beaten over top when the Pats go single high.
I don't love it, but it is a nice wrinkle so far.

Myles earning his keep!

That’s an incomplete pass
