Pats to play 6 of top 10 NFL rosters not including QB or coaching staff in 2015

Interesting column from Bucky Brooks that does not include the Patriots in the top ten rosters not including QB, but does include Jets, Dolphins, Bills, Cowboys, Eagles and Broncos. The Patriots play 9 games against these teams in 2015.

Only one of these teams has been to a Super Bowl in the last ten years, and only two of these teams - the Broncos and Cowboys - have top ten QBs, both of whom are flawed. Tannehill isn't in my top ten.

As I read this article, I kept thinking how important coaching is, and how Belichick and his staff might do with some of these rosters.

Patriots Blue Chips: Gronkowski, Ghostkowski, Solder, J Collins, D Hightower, McCourty, Edleman, in a year our center will be on that list. So currently we have 7 Blue chippers.

I love Bill and Tom but Brooks is stoned (or stupid) if he thinks we're the least talented team in the division without them.

Quite probably both.

This is so idiotic. It's like, what are the top 10 most powerful countries in the world, excluding nukes!

1. Germany
2. Turkey
3. South Korea
4. Japan
5. Italy
6. Egypt
7. Brazil
8. Canada
9. Taiwan
10. Poland

We're just going to set aside: United States, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel.

I posted this last week. Bucky Brooks* is just cringe worthy hilarious.

This is what you call `offseason NFL hype marketing for the loser teams`. That and, of course, Patriot hate.

I didn't see the thread this was posted in. Should it be merged?

I agree the premise is a bit bizarre, but it's interesting to me that the AFC East landed three teams on this list, and frankly, I am impressed with what the Jets and the Bills have done this off-season to remake their rosters with new coaching staffs. I'm less impressed by Miami's progress and think Suh was a big pickup but way too much money sunk into a player that will spend time suspended, and who has some wear on the tires. Overall, the AFC East is less of a pushover than the past couple of seasons.

This doesn't look like Patriots hate at all. Not being mentioned seemed like a nod to the overall excellence of the team around Brady than the lame "blue chippers" way of ranking the rosters. The Seahawks and Broncos being on the list seemed cheesy.

How many times have we heard this though?

Not sure I want to watch the top ten beauty contest winners, not including face and body.

...but she has a great personality! [sexist, I know, but they still have these things].

He's the guy who put an asterisk on Tom Brady in the top 10 QB list on NFL.com Enough said...
