I wish I had more to offer than the tears in my eyes. Be as well as you can.

Holy crap this is funny. Well done, sir.

Your timing is off. White was drafted in 2014, which was Vereen's final season with the Patriots.

Especially when the three players they mention are strong safeties, one of which didn't have much left before taking a year off and the starting free safety is up in years as well. Even if you disregard the flexibility aspect, the fit is plain as day.

Shouldn't they be on fire?

Even if Parcels left on the best of terms, his tenure on the Patriots is not within sniffing range of the HOF. Why he keeps getting brought up mystifies me. He must be getting a major bump based on what he did elsewhere in some people's eyes.

I consider that a preseason play. Not in a pejorative sense, more in the "team building" sense. Rather than exploit a weakness, you'll often intentionally pit your guys against their best because you want to see how they perform against higher caliber players. Or you'll run what you want...

Baltimore has been gifted 14 offensive points and about 10 defensive points (points Buffalo didn't score by no effort on Baltimore's part). They'll almost certainly win, but hopefully were seeing some cracks in the attack.

Sanders' impact has reached mythic proportions, but reality was quite different. Indy's run defense was just as lousy with Sanders that regular season as it was without. What changed in the playoffs was that they changed the responsibilities of the DEs. Instead of playing pass and rushing...

These kinds of threads make me happy that I root for the laundry. I'm amazed by and grateful for all Brady has accomplished, but if he's gone next year, so be it. I'll be curious how he does elsewhere, but little more. Frankly - and this may sound strange from someone who posts here a few...

Interesting, because this was one of the plays Matt Chatham touched on in his podcast. He put it on Brady not because of the throw being off, but because he felt Tom should have been more patient against a 3 man pass rush and work back to the single covered wide receivers, of which Dorsett was...

I just scanned through the last 5 pages and I can't help asking..... Is there any actual news around this topic?

I'd take Lengel back at this point. :confused::eek:

Because Williams looked neither slow nor useless in the preseason. To the contrary, he was terrific and would be a starter in at least 20 other secondaries. Why prioritize Williams? Well, the guys who cover the larger body types are all getting up there in age. Joejuan isn't a big help to...

It was never a debate. From what I read, it was unanimous that Metcalf was a physical specimen more than a receiver, which is pretty much the opposite of what NE was looking for. He turned out to be more ready than expected, good for him. But that doesn't make it a debate in retrospect.

No worries, I can wait until January. :)

I look at it as a win/win. Baltimore stumbles and NE has a shot at the top seed again or Buffalo cedes some ground in the division. It's an improvement on their current position either way.

Agreed, KC and Baltimore squaring off in the playoffs is nearly as important to me as home field throughout. Despite what just happened, the Texans aren't winning in NE in January. And if they do, then NE wasn't a SB team.

It did during the Jax, Detroit, TN and Pitt games. To your point, those were a sampling and this appears to be a more consistent problem. At the same time, NE was not nearly the dominant running team in the regular season that they became in the playoffs. It was just something they were...
