It wasn't just a win against the Patriots, it was an absolute ass kicking

[abenjami]

Amazing what happens when you take a couple shots down field early to open things up and actually throw the ball to Jonnu Smith and let him try to make some plays.

 

Discuss the ass kicking below...

The defense absolutely dominated the Pats offense, an offense that had been rolling

They dominated them so badly that the Pats took Brady out of the game!

End to end domination. I'm leaving Boston now, people are stunned.

Defense is legit.  No doubt about it now 

[TitanDuckFan]

I was hoping Vrabel would get one more chance to troll Bellichick,...

 

By putting Gabbert out there for a final pass or two.

Idk if this was the best game of Mariota's career, but it's possible you'll look back and see it as the biggest turning point of his career.

 

This is a milestone type of win.

Good god no

 

He was ok, was off a little too often in the 2nd half but nothing to complain about, no where close to his best

Had a few big boy throws in the pocket though.

Mariota's play today is what should be the norm for a quality NFL starting QB.

I'd say he looked more than ok, but yeah he was off in the 2nd half. A number of sailed balls, but the stuff that was on target was very on target. The toss to Batson to the sideline stands out in my mind.
