This. If JG goes (which I am against), then that first round pick should go on a first rounder. Brissett didn't really show me anything that filled me with confidence. Grew red he played injured against the Bills, which i give him ful credit for, but I didn't see anywhere near enough of him to...

Again people are talking like Brady has years to go. He may say he wants to play for another five years but we need to be realistic; that's not likely. Let's trade a guy we have seen prove he can play and be competitive at this level, and draft an unproven commodity with no experience in our...

Valid, although not sure Manning would've continued to shatter records with the colts. I agree when people say Luck is overrated, but that guy hasn't had the O Lines, lacked a running game and the defence isn't all that either. Behind a Colts O Line he'd have been crippled. I think if we are...

This is the second time they have violated this rule. I wouldn't say they're being screwed. Repeatedly break the rules and you'll get what's coming. These practice rules are in place for a reason.

This is spot on. Something I've said for a couple of years now. Whilst it's a gross overreaction to have suggested a 4-0 start for Jimmy G would have been justification to contemplate moving on, when Jimmy G comes up for renewal it really isn't that far fetched to suggest the Pats may make a...

Having both Gronk (even on a snap count) and Bennett could be crucial Thursday. Establish a solid run game and Brissett will have a much easier day of it. Got a freeze those LBs and DBs and give him as much help as we can. If we can't run the ball it'll be a long night.

His blocking performance last week was immense. Too many people just get caught up watching the football/stat lines. Running behind him and Gronk is going to be fun this year. The two TE offence we had under Gronk and A-Hern may well be back.

He won't be IR'd. A sprained AC joint won't sideline him for more than 2-3 works at worst. He may even play Week 4 (which if he's good to go, you have to do). Even if he's designated to return, Jimmy G would be a better backup for Brady from Week 5 onwards. We don't even know how bad the...

Spot on. People are being a homer if they don't think that contact was a little high. It was definitely at least in the neck area. It's close to a blindside hit but open to debate. He's hit him from the front in my view...not the side or from behind...so it's tough to call it a blindside hit...

As always Ken, a great insight and hard to argue with any of it. The only thing I'd like to touch on is the above and it is something that has bothered me with a lot of Pats fans when discussing these four games. This whole attitude of trading away our backup at this stage is ridiculous. Brady...

So football logic, by that explanation, would be to throw it up at least once. That's what football is about...deception. You have to mix it up and more importantly stick to the game plan. If you've been running well and the defence moves up you throw....for all we know that's exactly what was...

Doesn't matter if you're going forwards, sideways or backwards...if you get out of bounds the clock stops. It was a blown call but, at the end of the day, it wouldn't have changed anything. So why are we talking about it? Just more fuel to add to the anti-patriots fire.

It's a three phase game. How do you know we wouldn't have marched down the field and scored anyway? Do you analyse a blowout with what-ifs? What if we hadn't gotten three turnovers that led to scores? Things like that? Like I said, it's a three phase game.

I think the O Line panic I ave seen going around is a bit unnecessary. Even though they have under performed through the year they are a very talented bunch and on their day would give a fully healthy O Line a run for their money. I don't see this team going undefeated. Had we got past the...

It's not too relevant a topic now but if we go another three weeks unbeaten the discussion has got to be there. How meaningful is 16-0 all over again? We've been there, done it and suffered the most agonising defeat in our team's history. As a fan I felt more pressure to win because I knew the...
