that was terrible

first they let 10 seconds run off the clock before doing the timeout, then they don't have multiple plays called. wtf did you do during that time out?

wow, that was a rather pathetic end to what was a decent game beyond expectation.

I still have to give the kid credit. He did MUCH better against NE than anyone had expected. Yes, much of the credit for the game being as close as it was goes to the GB defense as well as the offense for protecting Flynn, but he did a helluva job tonight.

In the end, his inexperience and the pressure caught up to him...but in time, he has the makings of a decent QB...if he's given the chance to learn and develop his skills.

Pats did not deserve to win, but it is what it is. Wilfork will probably need oxygen mask after this.

Pats were lucky tonight.

This. GB almost pulled out the win at the end with a QB on his first start in his career. So much for the Pats -15 line. Almost pulled a Browns game with that kind of defense.

Tough to say who is at fault but probably the coach. You need to tell the QB more than 1 play in that situation since it's obviously 4 down territory. They had the timeout to talk the whole thing over too. Yeah, Rodgers would have had the play called but the coach should have taken the inexperience of a first time starter into account.

Great start for Flynn, though. Not many QBs throw 3 TDs in their first start.

Pats defense was uncharacteristically weak against the run tonight. Wonder if they might be missing Spikes a little bit.

That and they need to get rid of Merriweather because other than getting the easy interceptions that any SS could get he's a fucking detriment to our team. Taking out McCourty on that TD pass to Jones was the result of an absolutely terrible angle because he was out of position. Please get rid of him and get a better safety next year BB.

Offense was a little off tonight too but effective enough.

Has anyone checked on John Madden?
He might have had a heart attack cheering Connolly on.
