In a time of great strife among fans regarding who we signed or didn't sign or might draft or might not draft, comes a day where Pats fans and Falcons haters all come together and remember one of the greatest days in the history of our franchise. I watched the game with all non-Pats fans, and...

Your weekly, drunken, ass version of a better weekly thread...a day late after going dark... This dreary December Sunday, I decided to switch off the hard liquor (for now) and go with an old favorite of mine. I came across this one during my Army times, drinking with one of my mates from my...

Your weekly, drunken, ass version of a better weekly thread...now on weekdays... Tonight, as you can see, it's business as usual, and that means Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon...unpretentious, doesn't disappoint, and goes down smooth; the perfect contrast to our fan experience this year...

Your weekly, drunken, ass version of a better weekly thread. Thanks to @VrabelJr for the name. This week, I'm drinking Suktinis because it's the second strongest one I've got on hand. It's a lovely mead from the homeland clocking in at 100 proof. Alas, the 150 proof Zalgiris mead was...

Here is the ghetto/ersatz version of the Alamo season contest standings. I made this a separate thread so folks didn't miss it. I just decided to do this as a one off, for funsies, since I actually had some time on my hands this morning. @Ian, I have no idea if the Excel sheet I used to do...

Hello everyone, My wife is a linguist who helped out US Special Operations Forces (her sisters did as well), but their family is trapped in Afghanistan. Her cousin, in particular, is in desperate need. He was an interpreter, helping the US Army in 2010 and 2011, and his family is stuck. Three...

I'm going to pat myself on the back. Also, you're welcome. :) Also called the losses to Jacksonville, Tennessee and Miami. My 2018 predictions Given how terrible I was in alamo's prediction thread, I'm posting this mostly to restore my ego/confidence. And to accept the gratitude for wearing...

I found out last night, but I still can't process it. I don't think there's been anyone in the Army that I truly loved more than this guy. I've never met a person that could better light up a room with a smile or a smart comment or a joke, or just by extending his help and care. I knew he had...

TL;DR New England 23 Philadelphia 17 Proof of concept: New England vs. Jacksonville Projection Results Updated Methodology The biggest swing and a miss from the AFCCG was that I underestimated Bortles' performance. There were two models and I went with the conservative model, even if the...

TL;DR New England 24 Jacksonville 14 So, this is the second time I've done this. The first was SBLI. I wouldn't mind turning it into a regular thing if I could streamline the process. Proof of concept: While I accurately projected a victory, TFB's pick six was unexpected and really skewed...

I worked on this based on a comment I read on reddit (and addressed there in less detail), which apparently came from some utterance during a MNF broadcast about how the Patriots have feasted on the AFC East, paving the way for their success. Like the cheating accusation or the "luck"...

I don't post a lot of threads like this, but I wanted to kinda throw out something out there in the lead up to one of the biggest regular season games we've had in a long while. We've seen all week, and I've repeated often in the office the old mantra, "the Pats are gonna bounce back from this...

Disclaimer: The game is played on the field. This is literally the outcome of ****ing with numbers, so take it for what it's worth. The "TL;DR version" first (a more "detailed" explanation and a summary of the methodology below): Ever since the Pats and Falcons punched their ticket to the...

Baltimore Stabbies vs. Pats Chat Thread Y'all know the deal

I haven't seen a thread on this yet, and usually there are one of these every year. So if there is an existing thread, I suppose this could be merged in. What are your W-L predictions for this season? Playoff predictions? And any other predictions? Hell, it can be whatever. Schedule @ Arizona...

In the midst of all the carnage of last week and the really high highs of this week, I've missed seeing Patfanken's "Idle Thoughts". His last post is September 7, but I didn't see a "see ya later" post. I could have understood wanting to be away from this board after last week's disaster, but...

Patriots coach Belichick makes non-subtle point on Spikes - The Boston Globe We'll have to see what this means for the game, but hopefully he'll get up to speed. It would be nice to have him in there for run defense.

Story behind rise of New England Patriots' Danny Woodhead - The Bonus - SI.com I really like this kid.

Running on First Down I personally thought little of the running on first down, and thought it to be a very prevalent and foolhardy part of the approach in the game. I decided to look at the play-by-play to see how often the Pats ran on first down, the results of those runs, and the patterns...
