I've been one of the dude's biggest detractors dismissing him as a jag and not much more. Well, no longer. What a game. My biggest complaint has been his inability to break tackles, but after powering through that winning score he can get ankle tackled the rest of his career and I won't say a...

Not sure if this has come up in this forum, but I saw this this other week and filed it away. Given how BB has swiped other obscure strategies from teams like the Lions (leading to Harbaugh cryfests) my guess is he did too. (Especially considering they play SF this week so you know they reviewed...

I think Pascoe makes this team as the blocking TE who can catch in a pinch. Classic under-the-radar vet signing by BB. Always loved Pascoe coming out of Fresno St and he's been a yeoman pro for the last few seasons. Just seems like a classic Pat signing who seems like an afterthought in July but...

I'm specifically pointing to the aggressive play calling with a big lead - snapping play clock with 20 seconds left in fourth with big lead is just wtf - as well as the much discussed fourth down calls. I find it very hard to believe that had we been playing Jax last week in exact same...

Deadspin has a good recap. Damn, no wonder he didn't want to give up his phone. I can't imagine everyone in the world being able to read my emails. Insane. http://deadspin.com/highlights-of-tom-bradys-personal-emails-revealed-in-n-1722160002 Anyway, a couple funny highlights:

Not sure how this has not gotten mainstream traction yet but surely will be a cornerstone of Pats case: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/05/11/dean-blandino-nfls-officiating-vp-lied-about-deflategate-knowledge/ At a pre-Super Bowl press conference, Blandino tried to say that nobody from the...

The more I think about all these circumstances the more I'm settling on this theory. Look, you have these jokers sending some texts that clearly indicate something is going on with football. Yes some of it is dumb humor but let's not be naive. Now you also have the most telling two pieces of...

Imagine they start off 4-0 with Jimmy G. Now you have a 38 yo QB with no camp, practice or reps coming in cold. Some competitive team offers up two firsts ...

I think both plays should be obvious as to what they are. I've spent some time thinking about it, and while The Pick obviously won the team the Super Bowl and is a Top 10 All-Time Super Bowl Play, I have to go the Edelman-Amendola pass as the Play of the Year. It was a play we had all been...

I posted this in the Blandino thread, but honestly it's such an incredible piece of info it deserves to be called out. That's how insane all this is. We are talking about a rule that was written before the Nazis invaded Poland.

Not sure how this unbelievable statistic is not getting more attention. 75% of his seasons as a starter he has his team within one game of the Super Bowl. I don't think we will ever see a QB with this sort of sustained success again. I'm not sure the record for championship game appearances...

It always bugs me that people go on and on about Ridley's fumbles like he is the only RB in the NFL that fumbles. Yes, fumbling is bad, but is there another RB in the NFL who has this kind of microscope on him every time he fumbles? It's insanity and pure Boston media at its best. I took at...

Wanted to get a poll going in light of AHern release. So there is speculation Pats might sign Dave Thomas or Dallas Clark to fill that roll. Curious what people here think. I'm also putting in option of abandoning the 2 TE offense as that could be a reality.

Mods, I respectfully request this not get merged/swallowed up by the Tebow Mega Thread as this is a discrete point/question I'd like to try to address after seeing it everywhere. This group think concept that Tebow can just magically show up and after one off season become a TE is being...

That means Pats will have beat Houston and each team will have gone 1-1 vs each other. The next tie break is conference record correct? Pats will only have one loss and in fact same could potentially said for the others. What's next? Record vs common opponents? Could make for some very...

Reading a Reiss summary just now and two pieces stood out: 1. Shank was finally seen in an ankle wrap 2. Branch still has locker set up Now I've independently seen some speculate Shank is on the squad now only to be IRd post Sep 4 and that Branch was cut to be re-signed after the season...

Ok, so like everyone else I read the positive words being written in camp about this kid. I hadn't had a chance to see him yet and watched the Bucs game condensed NFL preseason and frankly watching this kid run he looks like he just stepped in gum. This is what all the hoopla is about? This...

Makes a ton of sense to me. I fully expect it to be Darren Sharper.

With GB looking to win this one going away, just curious if there has ever been a year both #6 seeds advanced to their respective conference championships. I'm a big believer in decades of data holding to form so hopefully it has never happened. :)

... three are sitting out on Sunday? TBC Jermaine Cunningham Deion Branch Aaron Hernandez Eric Moore Sebastian Vollmer I'm guessing one of TBC/JC, Moore, and then I guess Hernandez? That would stink.
