Dare I say it.......


Dobson looks good?

Dobson wasn't that bad last game. One great play by a defensive back and a few over thrown balls happened. He was very close to having a monster game. Won't take much and he clearly shows the talent.

He just needs to stay healthy and play in a situation where he's not a WR1/2 to establish some consistency, confidence, and rhythm.

I still have faith.

No good for YAC, at least so far.

I have a feeling Reggie is going to help us this year

The one throw to Wayne was pretty nice.. the overthrow later at least proves he can wing it 25+ yards

WOW.. How was Lindley a starter for Arizona..

starter injured, backup injured, he was left over

Wayne and Dobsy are doing pretty well. Problem is Lindley is junk. IMO it should be Jules/JoJo/Dola/Wayne/Dobson. Good group plus Slater doing his thing.

McDaniels is here listening to the calls on the headset, but Daboll has the sheet and is on the edge of the sideline when Pats have the bal

Once Wayne gets up to speed and builds chemistry with Brady, he will be an excellent addition. Reminds me a lot of Branch 2010, but a lot better.

And there was no one better in the stands watching?

Hard to believe.

If McDaniels gets a head job, I thought his replacement would come down to O'Shea and Daboll. Looks like Daboll has the lead.

What makes you say so? Siliga and Easley aren't playing, so we need some DT's for tonight. I think he's a lock due to veteran presence alone.

When you're up against the cap, $800k in relief to cut your #4 DT is pretty compelling. Especially if you're thinking you have a surplus of edge rushers that you want to keep.

Veteran or not, I don't think Branch is significantly better than whatever will be available on the waiver wire in a month or two anyway. Would rather stick some other eligible DT on the practice squad and use the roster spot on a better player.

Maybe McD takes a head coaching gig next season?

How is Lindsey an NFL qb? Is it comedy night in foxboro? I can't stop laughing watching that guy attempt to throw a football. He's got the same arm strength as my friends son. It should be noted my friends son is 6 years old.

Probably a lot of these signs tonight

Good point. I am inclined to agree.

That's because he's been hit immediately.. Lindley hasn't done the receivers any favors.. He seems to be from the Manning school of receiver leading.. AKA put the football in where the receiver will get it be get his clocked cleaned with a hit..

Can anyone tell me what happened with Wayne that was so great? My stream got messed up and I missed it.

This is not true. What games have you been watching the past year?
