    Now is the time for things to come together

    Early season dominance against a string of rookie QBs (with the exception of Roethlisberger) Midseason struggles (played Baltimore coming off its bye week the week before our bye week) Some weaknesses exposed: 1. run defense (Chubb-Cleveland, Ingram/Jackson-Baltimore) 2. ugly offense (o-line...

    Extending Gronk's career

    We are all waiting to hear if Gronk has played his last game. I really hope he comes back and aligns his retirement with Brady's plan. Two or three more years. Gronk has had multiple surgeries and takes a beating, especially to his knees and quads, but also to his head. Earl Thomas rocked...

    Teams that matter...

    How many teams do you pay attention to what they are doing? And not out of some sick sense of curiosity (e.g. Jets), but because you view them as legitimate rivals. Here are my lists (definites): AFC: Steelers, Broncos, Ravens NFC: Seattle, Green Bay Others who are coming onto the radar...

    Does anyone think expanding playoffs is a good idea?

    Well, three games in and three stinkers. I can't imagine letting more teams in. The advantage of having a bye has never seemed greater. Get healthy and avoid a meaningless opportunity to get your players hurt.

    NFL Network - Top 10 records that will never be broken

    The #1 overall record that will never be broken was Don Shula with 347 wins (328 regular season, 19 postseason). I wondered where Coach Belichick ranked and it got me thinking. He is currently 5th for regular season wins and 4th including postseason wins. 1. Don Shula (347) - 328 + 19 2...

    Colts roster, balance, cap, and matchup

    The Colts have a big decision this offseason when Andrew Luck finishes his rookie contract. Most think he will become the highest paid player in the game. The alternative would be the 5th year option which for QB's would be around $16 million. After 2016, the Colts could use the franchise tag...

    Upcoming contract decisions and related factors

    I think the Patriots do a great job managing their salary cap. Here are the players that I think the team has to make decisions: 1. Nate Solder: on 5th year option. Would be hard to replace. Agent is a factor as David Dunn also represents Wes Welker and that ended poorly. 2. Stephen...

    Primary reason for slow starts

    When the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills can hang with the Patriots or even take an early lead, it establishes a pattern. Is it coaching or execution? Are they hanging back and being conservative or vanilla to see how the game is going before they get aggressive or play with urgency? On offense, a...

    How a deep draft helps New England more than other teams

    I believe more than most other teams, New England gives players a chance to make the team regardless of draft status. As evidenced by 2 or more UDFAs making the 53 man roster year in and year out. We have 7 picks (8 if we get a compensatory), and by all accounts there is a lot of depth this...

    Special teams concern - Trindon Holliday

    Last year's playoff game Ravens @ Broncos will be remembered for the defensive breakdown at the end of the game to force overtime. But during the game, Holliday scored 2 special teams touchdowns. It was really the difference in that game. (<-- Edit: by difference I don't mean outcome. It...
