I wanted to make a post about the prospect of going all in this draft -- taking both a generational WR and trading assets to move up for a QB. In terms of value, Marvin Harrison Jr. is almost the easiest pick of all time at #3. And considering #1 and #2 are QB needy teams, MHJ will likely be...

As the Patriots continue to struggle in the post-Brady era, critics of Bill Belichick have increasingly blamed his age for the team's failings. My question is whether it is fair to simply chalk up these struggles to age. After two decades of unparalleled success, couldn't the main culprit be...

The historic success of the Pat dynasty from '01 onward has been synonymous with having a bye. Most of these Patriot teams had a veteran roster who needed time to physically recover compared to the competition. With this year's young(er) team, we saw an uncharacteristic disaster against the...

There is no denying that both New England and Buffalo are top-shelf teams. And it honestly wouldn't surprise me to see Buffalo beat Tampa Bay after feeling pretty salty after tonight's loss. All that being said, I have to question the Bills on overall philosophy. After a taste of success, the...

It's been an interesting and sometimes exciting season. But with the playoffs slipping away, it seems fair to start talking about next year and the strategy for moving forward. On one hand, there is the steady approach that involves a Cam, another free agent qb bandaid, or a trade for a...

The Patriots have limited talent this season, so I'm not upset about being 4-6 as much as sad this divorce between Tom and Bill came to pass. Lots of people out there across the country wanted Brady to succeed while the Patriots struggled. And yes, the Bucs have been better in terms of wins and...

Does anyone know what happens with Cam Newton and his one year deal if there is no season? Would he become a free agent again, or would the contracts never honored just apply to the next season?

I've heard some buzz around the NFL forums about Drew Brees being a potential acquisition for various teams if cut. While I dislike Brees for some of his racial and homophobic beliefs (later walked back, either genuinely or not - the offtopic is for that discussion), the question becomes whether...

With Brady gone and us in rebuilding mode, what are people's thoughts on signing Jameis Winston? We all know about his turnover problems ("problems" being a mild description). But he was also playing nearsighted and had surgery this offseason. (Jameis Winston undergoes LASIK eye surgery) With...

Today was a bitter pill to swallow. But congrats to Brian Flores for coaching the Dolphins to a great second half of the year. That squad played with Patriots grit. The Patriots, on the other hand, look like they need to stop pouting. Hopefully we haven't seen the end of Bill's effectiveness as...

Part of what has helped past Super Bowl runs are guys like Gronk and Blount balancing Brady's intensity. There is plenty of blame with the offense's performance to go around, but Brady is also making mistakes out there and his frustrations with everyone else -- but seemingly not himself -- are...

Fantastic effort by the Dolphins today. However, was this win actually the ultimate backbreaker that could doom the team for years to come? The goal for the Dolphins this season seemed to be awfulness par excellence to net Tua Tagovailoa. Now they are two games behind the Bengals in the year of...

Is it me, or did Matt Moore always seem like a legitimate starting quarterback? He posted a 15-15 record with the Panthers and Dolphins with solid stats. Put a good supporting cast around him, as with today, and Moore can be an average to slightly above average quarterback in this league. My...

I've been digging around the net for a draft-related question but can't find an answer. Does anyone happen to know the draft order for two teams if they both go winless? I'm curious who picks first between the Dolphins and Bengals if they both go 0-16. Does easier strength of schedule really...

A few weeks ago, it was a foregone conclusion that Kansas City and their whooping fandom represented the greatest threat to the Patriots in the AFC. After Kansas City's two game slide, however, do people feel another team has emerged as the biggest threat? The Texans and Colts both made their...

Just some math nerd stuff after reading comments on another kicking thread today. If any of it is wrong, please let me know. Since 2016, Ghost has made 150 of 159 extra points. That is a 94.3% success rate. We would total the same number of points, on average, if we succeeded on 47.15% of two...

So, with the Dolphins getting decimated against the Ravens and the Patriots destroying the Steelers, we have a classic David vs. Goliath situation next week. While the Dolphins could pull an upset if the Patriots sleep on them, I wanted to ask if anyone can think of a game in the past few...

All 32 NFL teams' 2019 defenses, ranked While it is early, this ranking list bodes well for this season. So much talent on defense if we stay healthy and the defensive playcalling continues to be aggressive.

It is shocking and sad -- at least from a fan of the game perspective -- that Andrew Luck is retiring. My question is whether it is time to try to pick the bones of that franchise while the getting is good. Hear me out. I'm sure the Colts front office is as shocked as the rest of us. With their...

So, the Dolphins are going into full blown tank mode. With that in mind, who is the greater threat in the division: the Bills or Jets? Should we fear either of these teams breaking a ceiling of 6-10/7-9? I was waiting for the Dolphins to be that team that pushes us after they started 3-1, but...
