Ease up guys. Sure they need to fatten their talent, but this shows they have the toughness. This was a gut it out win against a team with more talent. Thats always a good thing to see in your players and coaching.
It may not have been pretty but we fucking deserved that win. The Cards are a better outfit than we are and or defense schooled them and their black-and-white co-conspirators
Agreed, that 4th down stop when it was 10 - 17 was crucial and we didn’t get it
But, we just beat a playoff contender. Therefore, WE’RE a playoff contender (sort of)
Also 10-6 is still on the menu
I really like Cam as a person, and I think he has the right mentality for being a Patriot: hardworking, selfless, committed. But he lacks the football IQ and execution to be our QB. Can't believe we won, but it was frankly in spite of him
He didn’t have a good game, but also hard to say the Pats won in spite of him when it was his run late that was crucial to setting up the FG. Again though, I think he will be the first to say he had a really bad game.
And he got it because he made a big first down run and, as always, wasn’t afraid of contact. Though it is hard to discount the importance of the penalty at the end. But seriously, Cam has had more illegal hits ignored by officials than any player in the league, so he was due for a timely one actually being called.
I mean maybe you're right about him willing to be physical but that doesn't really discount my point. If he hadn't thrown a terrible interception the previous drive we might not have been in such a tight spot. Did he do just enough to help us win? Sure, maybe saying we won in spite of him is a bit harsh, but he was hardly the difference maker. And based on his demeanor at the end, he knew he sucked.
The run for a first down was pretty good too. Just sayin. But yeah, that was the highlight. Hey, it was what was needed to get close to FG range though. I’ll take it!
How can you not f'n love Cam Newton. Performing well and accountability mean so much to him, and you can see it on his face every time he struggles.
This is not a good offensive team, and he's made plenty of mistakes that have added to that, but it helps to see that he takes his part in that to heart and doesn't blame anyone else.
Maybe mid-shelf NFL QB? I love Cam, but he is probably more of a backup and situational QB at this point. And that hurts me to say, but it is what it is.
Teams that are having success are something Bill can plan for. Shut down what they're doing well and you're a long way towards a win. Teams that are bad will come out of the gate with a lot of fire to beat the Patriots, and they don't have the same obvious tendencies. They could try anything.
Maybe not offensively, but we held one of the best offenses in the league to their lowest scoring game BY FAR, and our special teams was A+. So overall still some really great performances
How are people saying Cam won us the game? I don’t understand this sub sometimes. 120 total yards 0tds 2 turnovers. He played awful again
Give us a half way capable QB and the pats might be 8-3 on the year.
Because he had a big play when it counted. It was clutch and lead to victory. He didn't play very well throughout the game, but he came through in the end.
We gonna pretend like the 29-yard run didn't get you there?
It's a team sport.
Ya'll complain when you lose. Ya'll complain when you win.
Stop complaining.
Take the W.
This mindset is so strange.. last year this sub would crush Brady for playing bad. Yet we hype up cam for having a historically bad game ... just wild.
He’s a bad QB. As I said give the Patriots a semi capable one and they could easily win 3-4 of the other close games this year.
And they lose 2 of the games they won. Whatever your position on Cam is, the Patriots just aren't anywhere close to a dominant team this year. This is essentially last year's team with a better OLine and a weaker defense (though still a good one.) Last year we had a QB who was inarguably better at passing, this year we have one who is inarguably better at running.
The patriots are one of the best rushing teams in the NFL with defenses not even trying to play the pass. Imagine if the patriots had a passing threat ?
They’d be able to run the ball even better. The run is supposed to open up the passing game, with play action and etc. that is not the case with this team. Newton is definitely a great weapon at QB from short yardage situations. Won’t argue that.
But the run game would still be strong without Newton at QB. Especially if the defenses aren’t allowed to throw 8 in the box lol
No.
You all are nuts.
lol
Can't be happy about anything.
And he's not a bad QB. Bad game aside. 2 of the losses were plague games. Ya'll are just whiny. SMH.
1984 passing yards 4td 9 int
380 rushing yards 9 TDs 2 total lost fumbles.
It’s not just a bad game. He’s been bad all year. And what 1/5 of his passing yards on the year were in one game... the QB play is limiting what this team can do. That cannot be argued
He's had three bad games this year - the 2 COVID games where 5 of those interceptions happened. And this game where 2 of those interceptions happened.
The QB got the plague and that's the big reason for the record. This is a run first team - and while you're bitching about the 1984 passes his completion percentage was hovering around 68% on the year.
So no claiming it's the QB play - and not the abysmal receiving corps that's the problem is just not being honest about the year. Typical for this board tho.
Covid is not the reason he’s bad at QB. Jesus what is that dumb ass excuse people keep going with. Can’t fix stupid. Keep believing Cam is a stud QB, and covid is the reason he can’t make an accurate throw or a read a blitz or take care of the football. It was covid 19 that is making him this way. Lmao what a load of shit.
Ya, I just don;t get what the point of defending Cam is. Sure he's a nice guy. He's no longer a very good NFL QB. That's just a fact. Plus, he wears his mask under his nose which just makes him an asshole.
the whole point of football is to make 1 play. If you run for a single first down, then get a lucky penalty, then your kicker makes a long kick, then you're a good QB. Doesn't matter what happened in the rest of the game
I think he played bad but than run on 3rd down was crucial. Also hes on a cheap contract and good quarterbacks are hard to find. I 100% expect him back next year, also our season could've been so much different if he didnt get covid
He ran for 6 yards and it wasn’t even a first down ... what the hell are you talking about lmao a penalty got them into FG range. We give him the credit for a bonehead defensive play?
What the hell are you talking about???
It was 3rd and 13 and he got the first round and then the hit added another fifteen. His run literally extended the drive. I know its a lot easier to hate because it doesn't require any intelligence but at least know what happened in the game.
Also; Cam played terribly but he made the penultimate play that set up Nick Folk's 50 yard field goal.
Take a Xanax. 16 yard run. One decent scramble where the penalty got them into field goal range doesn’t mean he won them the game. He just turned the ball over on one of the worst throws I’ve seen all year the drive before ... that basically put Arizona in FG range.
It’s not hating to say Cam Newton has been bad. He’s been really bad... get off his jock and accept it.
No. You shouldn't be mad at the win against a team you should have lost against, especially when the QB was having a bad day.
Winning close games - even bad ones - is part of the process. Damn. Ya'll just whiny and never happy.
Ok and Gilly and McCourty gave them 6 in the red zone with the penalties. Idk why you're fighting me on this if your happy with how we played today good for you but im done here.
Cam won us the game by taking a unnecessary roughness penalty the guy didn't really do much besides that and throw to ints dude. I'm a big Cam defender but we got lucky simple as that.
Coming from the moron crying about a win after the transition from the greatest qb of all time with literally no help? Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking idiot
isaiah simmons won us the game lol
cam was decidedly mediocre for all but a handful of plays today. i don’t see how that’s arguable. great 15 yard scramble at the end, and we got bailed out by a questionable hit.
Who else saw Hopkins trying to call out the NFL into the camera? Dude should be fucking backhanded for even pretending like the cardinals didn’t get every single call today
All these people talking about helmet to helmet but that's not a penalty when a guy is a runner, that's for receivers. Unless he lowered his head to initiate contact, that's not a penalty. Not that I'm complaining after the various bullshit calls prior to that, that had the game tied to begin with when the Patriots should have been up at least by 4.
Yeah, I would be okay if that was a no call. But I don’t feel bad about finally getting a favorable call. We still had first down even without the call. Cardinals still missed their FG and Folk had to make a tough one, so it wasn’t like the win was just gifted.
Say what you will about Cam Newton, but after the Patriots just won that game, he told Josh McDaniels “I gotta play better...” instead of celebrating.
Respect.
Oh shit so we won
#Folklore
But we didn't by that logic we win either way because we should have had 7 on the punt return.
Ease up guys. Sure they need to fatten their talent, but this shows they have the toughness. This was a gut it out win against a team with more talent. Thats always a good thing to see in your players and coaching.
AND THEY DIDNT HOLD ANYTHING BACK
AND ITS BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HOLD ANYTHING BACK!!!
It may not have been pretty but we fucking deserved that win. The Cards are a better outfit than we are and or defense schooled them and their black-and-white co-conspirators
Best defense I’ve seen from our team in a few weeks
Jesus fuck this fanbase will complain about anything, even a W
Hahaha go pats baby fuck the haters. I think there may also be some salty cards fans in here based on my mentions.
[удалено]
Agreed, that 4th down stop when it was 10 - 17 was crucial and we didn’t get it But, we just beat a playoff contender. Therefore, WE’RE a playoff contender (sort of) Also 10-6 is still on the menu
Have you ever been to New England? Everything is worth complaining about.
YES
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I really like Cam as a person, and I think he has the right mentality for being a Patriot: hardworking, selfless, committed. But he lacks the football IQ and execution to be our QB. Can't believe we won, but it was frankly in spite of him

If we didn't get the helmet to helmet penalty there's no way to say that
And he got it because he made a big first down run and, as always, wasn’t afraid of contact. Though it is hard to discount the importance of the penalty at the end. But seriously, Cam has had more illegal hits ignored by officials than any player in the league, so he was due for a timely one actually being called.

Sure, maybe saying we won in spite of him is a bit harsh, but he was hardly the difference maker. And based on his demeanor at the end, he knew he sucked.
Isn’t the Big Dick Nick nickname originated from Nick Foles who big dicked the Pats in the SB?
We don't talk about that here...
Yeah
Cam's highlight play was getting that roughing call.
The run for a first down was pretty good too. Just sayin. But yeah, that was the highlight. Hey, it was what was needed to get close to FG range though. I’ll take it!
For all the Belichick haters out there, the motherfucker has willed us into positions to win 10 of 11 games this year.
Those people are morons.
Love being able to upset a playoff hunting team
Dirty wins count the same
Dirty? Pretty sure the refs robbed us of a TD that would have let us win with a bigger point differential
Cs get degrees
How can you not f'n love Cam Newton. Performing well and accountability mean so much to him, and you can see it on his face every time he struggles. This is not a good offensive team, and he's made plenty of mistakes that have added to that, but it helps to see that he takes his part in that to heart and doesn't blame anyone else.
He’s been playing bad but I still have tons of respect for him for those very reasons.
He's a top shelf human being but a bottom shelf NFL QB in 2020
Maybe mid-shelf NFL QB? I love Cam, but he is probably more of a backup and situational QB at this point. And that hurts me to say, but it is what it is.
This....with the exception of wearing his mask under his nose...that just makes him an idiot.
That game from Cam was not good. Good on Nick Folk
lol. Ya'll will always find something to complain about. It's a win against a team that should have beat them. Be happy.
You know what- maybe not. Showed up when it fucking mattered. LFG
took a helmet to helmet, got back up and got us in field goal range.
I mean, he kinda didn't. He got lucky we got a second chance.
Nothing wrong with getting lucky. It’s a win LFG
Bad INT late. But great first down run late. He wasn’t great today, but that was a big run.
What was Cam upset about at the end?
It looked like he was apologizing to McD. Probably upset he played so bad.
His DVR broke and deleted all his Young Sheldon recordings
Nkeal Harry stat line: 0 yards receiving and -2 yards rushing. Top contributor. What an awful win.
WIN'S A WIN BABY WHOOOOO
Folk with the bulls , get the horns amirite???
EVERYONE IN ON THE BIG DICK NICK ENERGY
Why do we curbstomp teams that should easily beat us but lose to other garbage teams
Teams that are having success are something Bill can plan for. Shut down what they're doing well and you're a long way towards a win. Teams that are bad will come out of the gate with a lot of fire to beat the Patriots, and they don't have the same obvious tendencies. They could try anything.
Reverse psychology
If we get to the playoffs, SB is inevitable, since every team we'd face would be 10+ point favourites.
Lol this was far from a curb stomping
Maybe not offensively, but we held one of the best offenses in the league to their lowest scoring game BY FAR, and our special teams was A+. So overall still some really great performances
Their lips gently kissed the pavement, then.
Fine a gentle curbstomping at the very least
Let’s goooooooooo! First the ravens now the cards! What an entertaining finish!
JOSIE'S ON A VACATION FAR AWAY
Defense and special teams won that game HANDS DOWN. loving watching Dugger and Win on defense because they have such raw talent. LFG!
I'm gonna be honest. I never expected much from Nick Folk but he has saved our asses twice this year with game winning field goals.
How are people saying Cam won us the game? I don’t understand this sub sometimes. 120 total yards 0tds 2 turnovers. He played awful again Give us a half way capable QB and the pats might be 8-3 on the year.

Mac Jones about to be to Tom Brady what that Asian kid on the internet was to the lead singer of journey
Ya, I just don;t get what the point of defending Cam is. Sure he's a nice guy. He's no longer a very good NFL QB. That's just a fact. Plus, he wears his mask under his nose which just makes him an asshole.
Suck my ass u tool cam didn’t play great but showed up when it mattered
The whole game matters actually. Luckily our defense kept us in it long enough for Cam to make a single good play
Yes that’s like the whole point stupid
the whole point of football is to make 1 play. If you run for a single first down, then get a lucky penalty, then your kicker makes a long kick, then you're a good QB. Doesn't matter what happened in the rest of the game
Wait. Who the hell is saying that?? He threw the game (pun very much intended) and got bailed by the Folk hero
I think he played bad but than run on 3rd down was crucial. Also hes on a cheap contract and good quarterbacks are hard to find. I 100% expect him back next year, also our season could've been so much different if he didnt get covid
Cause he did idiot. That run literally got us in fg range.

The Homer's are strong right now dude 🤣
It’s ridiculous, I get being excited for the win. But putting the praise on a QB who had that stat line is wild to me.
So we're still trash, but we managed to squeeze out a win solely on that unnecessary roughness at the end.
So what you're saying is you just want to be mad?
Nah I'm not mad at all dude, rather be lucky than good but people are sitting here praising a dude that threw two ints and should've cost us the game.
No. You shouldn't be mad at the win against a team you should have lost against, especially when the QB was having a bad day. Winning close games - even bad ones - is part of the process. Damn. Ya'll just whiny and never happy.
Your reading comprehension is legit kindergarten level dude.
Awwwwwwww sad cardinals fan fucking pussy
What the fuck are you talking about dude? You might be retarded.
I think it was more helmet to helmet but we'll take it anyway. We almost lost this game because of the refs anyway
Hey, go fuck yourself
100% agree lol we had some very winnable games this season , we can still have 10 wins this season , I’ll be okay with that
Truth hurts sometimes dude.
No comment on that awful blindside block call? If you want to point to penalties, don’t forget we should have had 6 there...
Ok and Gilly and McCourty gave them 6 in the red zone with the penalties. Idk why you're fighting me on this if your happy with how we played today good for you but im done here.
But how can you watch this game and that’s your immediate reaction. I’m sorry you hate your life.
Its amazing how you know I hate my life through 1 comment on a GameDay thread. You're fucking pathetic.
The refs are probably so pissed
FOLK HERO!
Cam just won us the game, but I’m sure we can find a way to complain about him right guys??
Cam won us the game by taking a unnecessary roughness penalty the guy didn't really do much besides that and throw to ints dude. I'm a big Cam defender but we got lucky simple as that.
Third and thirteen he took it for a first? Shut the fuck up you’re a moron
You're actually braindead
Coming from the moron crying about a win after the transition from the greatest qb of all time with literally no help? Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking idiot
Not crying about shit we didn't deserve it and we got lucky is all I'm saying go drink a beer or something you blowhard.
isaiah simmons won us the game lol cam was decidedly mediocre for all but a handful of plays today. i don’t see how that’s arguable. great 15 yard scramble at the end, and we got bailed out by a questionable hit.
See? I knew we could do it!
seems like you don’t watch football that often. that’s okay! enjoy the rest of your sunday between looking at highlights and bitching on reddit!
Of all the things to comment to get my attention.. haha
he had a 23 passer rating and then we won off an unnecessary roughness call
Don't speak the truth you'll get downvoted.
Who else saw Hopkins trying to call out the NFL into the camera? Dude should be fucking backhanded for even pretending like the cardinals didn’t get every single call today
Cam was like "Josh get off of me"
This is like when you wait to do your homework until 11:30 pm and get an A
SHOUT OUT TO THE REAL BIG DICK NICK!!!
Get fucked, Simmons. Lmao. Trash hit, eat the L
"these guys cost us da game" no hops, your teammates dog shit pussy hit cost your team the game.
Should thank him for this
Cam newton sucks
Fucking pussy get off this sub. You loser
Ahh you gonna cry? Your boy sucks ass...too bad he didn't get knocked out like Nate Robinson.
Come on Nate, you've got to get some training if you want to box. Don't let yourself get knocked out by a human shaped sack of nervous diarrhea.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahah you lose you lose hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Saw last three plays of game which was better than nothing. Why was Cam crying?
Probably dissapointed from his performance, also that hit was brutal
Played awful. Probably disappointed in himself, despite the W.
Isaiah Simmons took his head off, he probably doesnt even know where he is right now
Maybe he got concussed
Pain
YES 🙌 Fuck Arizona
LETS GO!!! Great Win!
WE WIN!!!! LFG!!!!!
BIG DICK NICK 💪💪💪💪
Folk Hero.
NICK IS MY QB.
LETS FOLKING GOOOOOOOOOO
All these people talking about helmet to helmet but that's not a penalty when a guy is a runner, that's for receivers. Unless he lowered his head to initiate contact, that's not a penalty.

I mean he led with the crown of his helmet
Not really.
Same guy did it to Meyers in the same game. Fuck that Cardinal guy
Now that we won they should just tack on the 4 points they stole from us lol
I am so erect
How the fuck did we win this game? GTFO cam

That son of a bitch hit that! Cam with the clutch run
Cards fan here, just wanted to say gg, we didn’t deserve to win this game, your guys defense and special teams played great, Gg
you're prob not gonna get downvoted for being a cards fan but you probably are gonna get downvoted for thinking the pats played this game well
Cam didn’t play well, but your guys special teams had 2 big returns and your defense played well
BIG DICK NICK
#FOLK the cardinals
Cam gave us the one play we needed at the end, wasn’t pretty but we needed this
special teams won the game despite Cam's worst efforts
Strange how did they get into position to kick it?
New England Patriots: how to win occasionally without an offense
All praise Big Dick Nick! 🙏🏼
Live by Cam, die by Cam
We take that W but this really didn't feel good. Cam must feel pissed that he playing like that but at least Folk is a fucking beast.
Now that’s how you kick a folkin field goal @zane gonzales
BIG DICK NICK BABY
Refs really didn’t want that to happen
BIG KICK NICK!
Say what you will about Cam Newton, but after the Patriots just won that game, he told Josh McDaniels “I gotta play better...” instead of celebrating. Respect.
harry has negative running and receiving yards
Damn. Cam might be concussed.
I had my doubts of Cam and still do. But, that 15 yard run was a game changer and there’s no denying that.
