Tweet Speak – Pats Fans Sound Off
December 23rd, 2009 | by PatsChowder |
With the Patriots season coming to a close, I thought I would take the pen to the streets and give all of my fellow Patriots fans a voice. This is one of the many reasons I love Twitter. It’s a great platform for Patriots fans all over the world to get together and celebrate, cheer, criticize, or bitch about our team. But I’ll stop my Twitter plug and just show you all what you all said!
So the question posed was: “What’s your biggest concern entering the playoffs?” And the following are actual tweets from PatsChowder followers like you!
@BowlerCluke said: The inability of this team to score in the second half of football games!!
@mark_ricci said: Getting pressure on the opposing QB and #1b Bady’s health
@KPCK said: I kind of assume we’ll be out after the 1st game because we’re too sloppy this season. I hope to be surprised. #patriots
@TheGunShow3 said: the lack of big plays in the offence and the secondary is bad.
@nepatriotsdraft said: Biggest concern is who the Patriots will take with the 32nd selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. #patriots
Now for my two cents. I wish I was as confident as @nepatriotsdraft, but I’m more middle of the road. I believe the Patriots still have some of their best football in front of them, but they have a lot of work to do before they earn pick #32.
I’m still extremely concerned about the pass defense. This incorporates everything from the secondary to the pass rush. The rush just isn’t applying the required pressure, and the secondary can’t knock a single pass down. In fact, I don’t remember seeing one swatted ball against Buffalo. BUFFALO! With Jacksonville and Houston on the horizon we have an opportunity to really make a statement entering the post season. Whether that statement is that we’re a legitimate threat or an also ran has yet to be determined.
Please go ahead and follow all of the contributors above! Each one of them will talk Patriots at the drop of a hat! Don’t forget, you can follow me on Twitter @patschowder!
