    Bill’s first offer…

    I hope Bill lands a job. Andy Reid isn't far behind and is 6 years younger. Chiefs will probably average 10-11 wins the next 5 years - Andy is going to overtake Bill at that rate unless Bill starts stacking up some wins as well.

    NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional game: KC @ Buffalo

    Not sure why the Bills would over-react. They had a really bad run of injuries at an important position, the Chiefs took advantage, and in a closely fought contest that was the difference. Diggs is definitely regressing and Allen could use a weapon to take on WR2 that could eventually become a...

    NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional game: KC @ Buffalo

    Not really the same though as Buffalo lost even more defenders at the LB spot in particular, where they had no decent backups (since those were in the game already). They had to pull a guy off the couch to start against Kelce! Chiefs would find that formula much more difficult to replicate...

    NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional game: KC @ Buffalo

    That was my view of the game as well. McDermott couldn't hide his weakness and Reid/Mahomes pounded it. Probably would have been a different result if Bills were healthier but that's how NFL playoffs go. However, I don't think the Chiefs magically fixed their offense, they got a really favorable...

    NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional game: KC @ Buffalo

    Reid and Mahomes saw the Bills' defensive injuries and mercilessly pounded them. The scoreboard lies - Chiefs dominated this game on yards per play. They managed to avoid third downs and therefore their biggest weakness (lack of receiver depth) by going after the backup linebackers on first and...

    Curran's reporting on Mayo being the next head coach

    From the outside in, it's obviously safer to go with Vrabel. Kraft has hired three coaches: Bill Parcells, Pete Carroll, and Bill Belichick. All three are likely going to the hall of fame. Bill Parcells was on the HOF track before Kraft hired him, Pete and Belichick were not. The Belichick...

    Early NFL Draft talk

    That's a steal - would take that all day.

    Welcome Jayden Daniels! Pats next qb

    I'm not in love with any of the non-Caleb QB prospects. We obviously need a QB but right now I'm wondering if trading down and just taking more shots across the board on QB and WR/OL would be more beneficial. For example, maybe getting Penix late first or JJ McCarthy in RD2 plus MHJ or...

    Welcome Jayden Daniels! Pats next qb

    Draft Penix. Hire/empower an OC (if not the entire front office & HC). Draft OL and go to FA for WR. Let's see how it goes.

    Welcome Jayden Daniels! Pats next qb

    Prefer Penix. Win in the pocket first, out of structure is nice but not at expense of ability to do it within the offense.

    Bill Belichick Press Conference 7:30am (1/8/24)

    Let's look at the last 12 years of SBs: 2022: Mahomes (mobile, but strong in pocket) over Hurts (mobile) 2021: Stafford (pocket) over Burrow (pocket) 2020: Brady (pocket) over Mahomes (mobile + pocket) 2019: Mahomes (mobile + pocket) over Garapollo (pocket) 2018: Brady (pocket) over Goff...

    Tom Brady says he's done "for good"

    One and done once (this year). Last year they beat the Eagles in the wild card round. But yes - agreed with the general sentiment - he's clearly a Patriot with a nice epilogue in Tampa.

    Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

    Nobody is saying we think he can surpass Brady. That ship has almost certainly sailed. I'm just saying what it would take to even build a Lebron vs. MJ argument, and the point is even that is a big stretch of accomplishment that isn't likely. So we are saying the same thing here

    Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

    Yeah like I said - he has a chance, not that it’s likely (just to crack top 3, let alone even make a credible argument against Brady as the GOAT). The most likely outcome is that he stays mostly healthy and puts up big stats, but wins 2 to maybe 3 rings. To me that puts him solidly in the 4-10...

    Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

    Mahomes is fantastic and also has a great situation with Reid/Kelce, etc. He's well on his way to ~top 4-10 QBs of all time with a chance to kick out one of Manning/Montana from top 3. Doubt he really has a chance to threaten Tom as the GOAT but if he continues his statistical production +...

    Does Belichick Last Beyond 2023, and What Needs to Happen?

    This isn't that complicated. Bring in an experienced OC that can run the playbook Mac and most of the offense already knows (e.g., BOB), bolster the OL through the draft and FA, and see if Mac can make a leap in Year 3 with true coaching support and players around him. If not, that sucks, but we...

    Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

    It's more about game state. When you are in a neutral game state (early in game or close score) and neutral down & distance (e.g., 1st and 10) - should be passing the ball more. Then run the ball more when you are up or if you got 6-8 yards on first down pass. So you can run the ball more...

    Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Dolphins beat the Pats

    It's a long season. Cleanup the turnovers at a minimum and that game would've gone down to the wire. Offense needs to sort out an identity over the next few weeks.

    Content Post Idle thoughts - a beginning......

    I’d say by years 3-4 (2002-2003) Brady was showing the velocity that he would carry for the rest of his career. Certainly by 2004 he was putting frozen ropes 40+ yards in the air in horrible conditions in the AFC Championship game (not atypical of the types of throws he was making all of the...

    Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

    Watching Tom Brady slinging it with zip and doing his Tom Brady thing commanding the offense at age 45 on a $25M contract is infuriating as a Pats fan. Does anyone think last year’s Pats or even this roster wouldn’t be a contender with Brady? Ugh. Sorry for the digression
