He can't be expected to take away what the Eagles do well. After all, he engineered it so that in the 2017 Super Bowl, there were 2 ways of ruling a catch was made when a player lost control after going to ground, and wouldn't you know it, the refs employed both rules when they judged against...

It's been weeks and they are still at it. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39568366/should-patriots-draft-qb-wr-ot-no-3-trade-drake-maye-jayden-daniels-marvin-harrison-jr We get it. Things ended in acrimony. It's Feb 22nd. More than a month later. You have an entire TV series which you...

My favorite moment from the game (Elandon Roberts destroys Roger Saffold): The Patriots simply out-toughed the Rams. Flash forward 3 years later, and the Rams hadn't learned their lesson. In one of the worst SBs ever, they played patty-cake with the Bengals. These teams are so soft. This is...

I can't find the link on ESPN, I only got a screenshot from a tweet:

I didn't know what forum to place this in, and though it skirts around politics, it really has no politics in it and it doesn't necessitate ANY discussion of politics whatsoever. There's also a WAR thread so other things can be discussed there. During Kraft's press conference with Jerod Mayo...

The point of posting this isn't so much to rehash what could've been when Belichick is gone. After all, the buck stops with Belichick. He was the one who made the final decision. It's more to look at the future. We now have a new wave of analytic people running the team, and they will look at...

Don't read if you hate long stuff, but this is why Belichick is different for me, and why we lost something that I can only hope is retained if Mayo or Vrabel can mine it. What Belichick brought and what may be lost: 1. Roster construction emphasized depth over star power. I'm not a football...

This is a comment about Jack Jones: Jalen Mills @greengoblin It’s crazy what a coach showing a player that they believes in you can do for their confidence and performance.. 2:17 PM · Dec 15, 2023 · 531K Views Trent Brown and Jalen Mills won't be here next year, so it doesn't matter. If...

I'm going to write a "No Duh" post for a general thread discussion about defense and whether football has radically changed toward offense in the last 10 years. This is going to sound like a defense of the Patriots expending resources on D, and it is, but it comes from my preference for watching...

Sorry to start another thread, but I decided to start this to write something more comprehensive. And I didn't want to talk about X and Os or BOB's tactics. There are some fundamental things happening that are leaving me bewildered. For instance, we're not playing with enough urgency...

A lot of people in Cincy are hoping for a calf injury

I'm really excited to watch Dugger in his contract year. I can't imagine many defensive players had more highlight reel plays last year than him. Maybe he's a feast or famine player as we remember the angle he took on Waddle in that first game, but he was often spectacular last year. This is...

A player had to be with them for 5 years or more, so I'm not going to count Randy Moss or Curtis Martin. EDITED FOR POPULAR DEMAND 5/22 QB Tom Brady RB Sam Cunningham UB Kevin Faulk or James White TE Rob Gronkowski TE Ben Coates or Russ Francis WR Stanley Morgan WR Julian Edelman WR Wes Welker...

Kapp had a few screws loose; he took a beating And even into his old age, he was still getting into fistfights:

Peter King is here focusing on star power and aerial shows when talking about the Patriots next year: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/05/08/nfl-offseason-power-rankings-eagles-packers-bryce-young-peter-king-fmia/ They're training fans not to appreciate defense, hard hitting...

So, I'm listening to 98.5 Sportshub this morning, and there are two arguments being made. 1. In regards to Belichick's comments that he is "absolutely" as optimistic and enthusiastic about Mac Jones being his QB as he was last year at about this time, the radio host flat out said, "I don't...

Assuming the Patriots don't do anything surprising in the 1st round, I would say it's the 2nd round that figures to be the most interesting part of this draft. The Consensus Big Board has many interesting players around our pick at #46. 40 Dawand Jones 41 Hendon Hooker 42 Adetomiwa Adebawore...

This ranking is a little questionable: Top Five Greatest Offensive Linemen In New England Patriots History 1. John Hannah 2. Bruce Armstrong 3. Logan Mankins 4. Matt Light 5. Dan Koppen Honorable mention: David Andrews, Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer, Jon Morris. I would accuse him of having...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35797900/sources-rams-release-lb-leonard-floyd-no-trade The Rams are considering whether to cut Floyd now or else after June 1st. If they cut him now, they take a huge dead money cap hit this year. If they wait, they can spread the dead money over 2 years...
