I think the Colts should think about trading him, just to make room for Jerry Hughes, unless Hughes is another busted Colts' pick, which would give them one of the worst draft records in the last 5 years or so.
They are 21st in points allowed. Hanging with the likes of Packers(18), Jets(15 - .7ppg diff), bears(20),saints (22), etc. Yards are really irrelevant.
Chung, Bodden, Dowling & Pryor are not notable?
I think the D has issues, but I'm not even going to pretend that I know what any of the Pats'...
Here is another stat from the first 4 games. The pats have only been trailing collectively for under 8 minutes in all of those games. Remove Brady's 4 int game and they would have won them all. Try to keep it in perspective.
Pats have given up exactly one more point than GB. Factor in brady's pick six and our defense is better than theirs. but whatever....yards are really what matters.
Hmmm...add in the fact that the defense is being judged based upon 3 games, the last of which we were missing half of our starting defensive backfield and 3 of our top 4 or 5 lineman after a shortened pre-season and that pretty much sums up the refutation of the article. Yeah, the D has some...
I was watching the game with a Jets fan who was actively cheering against the pats. He thought it was a ********* call too. That ball was uncatchable by Nelson.
QBR is dumb.
The problem is the subjectivity on player contribution, but even more so, the clutch index is likely the biggest culprit. You can't penalize a QB for being good early and not having a tight game and then reward another for not doing well early. If I only care about the win, I want...
The objective is to give up fewer points than you score. Through 3 quarters the chargers scored 7 points. They ended up with 21. So the Pats held the 2nd leading offense in the NFL last year to 6 points below their average. Who really gives a rat's ***** about the yards when 4 forced turnovers...
Ok. That's what I thought, but neither got credit in the box scores. Some folks ***** about big plays like Ints and Sacks, but FFUM is just as big, imho.
Nink and Love got the recovery credits.
What exactly constitutes a forced fumble? I'm re-watching the videos on NFL.com and clearly Anderson forced the Rivers fumble at the end of the game and Mayo forced the Tolbert fumble in the beginning of the fourth.
Those are huge plays that change the game and I don't see why they don't get...
Do that math on every other PR and Edelman is still #2 in the NFL behind Hester. Bad argument you have going here. Edelman in the open field is an excellent runner. Criticize his route running or concentration, if you like, but he's a very good PR.
Second in the league behind only Devin Hester and then leading everyone else in average by more yards than he trails Hester. He's significantly better than average. His problem is that he truly is a welker clone and that makes reps very hard to come by. He's going to have a nice NFL career. It...
we have no idea how any players just drafter will play, so there's no logic in saying they were bad choices. If you talking about fit, we had a hole at LT, RB and CB. Mallett is curious, but if he was truly 1st round talent, you simply can't pass on him in the 3rd round. Cannon looks like a...
Heh, CHFF did the work for me using the same source.
Thanks Sciz for the link.

Just a couple salient facts (as opposed to gut feeling)
Pats #2 for drafting...
You win. Some dude says we are 9th based on something. Hard to argue with that. :rolleyes:
Seriously dude, last five years our best pick was Meriweather? Yeah, better than Mayo and McCourty. That's a joke, right? But I'll play along. You consider those 8 (Jets?) teams better drafters than the...
Ok. you've mentioned in another thread that the Packers are a good drafting team. If you saw my response, you'd see that they are not better. Name one or two others who you think are better and I'll show you the same. You can say he is not flawless, but to say he is middle of the pack, you...
