survey also found that people believe water is wet.

Gost is awesome. I do think that is the main reason bill made the PAT suggestion. He has a kicker he trusts completely. I think the only time ghost lost his trust was after the cardinals game, but he won it back quickly.

This game is the battle of the two best kickers in the NFL.

Pats have top 5 player in a lot of positions

Qb -Brady (Goat)
Rb - Lewis (production wise)
Te - Gronk (Goat)
K - Gost
Fs - D Mc
Lb - Collins
Rt - Seabass
St - Slater
Returner - Je11

Top 10
Wr - Je11
P - Allen
De - Jones
Lb - Hightower
Lt - Solder

Made up awards (depth)
Best 3rd Wr - Dola
Best 2nd Te - Chandler
Best 3rd Lb - Mayo
Best backup Rb - Blount

Almost seems unfair

Justin Tucker is in the discussion also. Bailey, Tucker, and Gost are the top 3 FG kickers of all-time in terms of %

I do think that is the main reason bill made the PAT suggestion. He has a kicker he trusts completely.

Bill's stance was that the extra point had become so "automatic" that it served no purpose. He recommended that you either eliminate it entirely or make it more difficult. Since the change, he expanded and said it's a play where some cheap shots are taken. Wasn't it a PAT when Gronk got his arm broken?

I would put Allen as a top 5 talent because of his sure handedness in catching snaps and holding. Danny Aiken had a ton of bad snaps and Allen handled every one of them.

Stork is easily a top 5 center and Andrews may be top 10.

Even though he's a rookie, Joe Cardona is probably the best long snapper.

I didn't put stork for health issues and Allen for just not punting enough. Lol. But I agree

I always suspected he cracked the bone somewhere else and then broke it on the PAT. It makes no sense that he could break it like that on that play.

Chandler hasn't been that great, even for a 2nd TE. I'm sure it's not hard at all to find players at Amendola, Mayo, Blount's depth chart spots on other teams who are better, to be honest.

It's possible that the bone was somehow weakened before the injury, but I don't find that to be any more likely. You got a bunch of 200+ lb athletes flailing limbs around on every PAT, breaks are bound to happen eventually. It is one of BB's reasons for not wanting "automatic plays".

Who do you think is a better 2nd TE in the NFL? And also for the other positions? Which team has a better 3rd receiver? Maybe Sanu of the bengals? James Jones? I think since the Baltimore playoff game, Dola has been clutch for us.

Agreed, though I still get pissed when the announcer mentions his unblemished record at game winning kicks (or whatever the stat is). It's not uncommon to hear something like, "no, he's 28 of 29, Bob" uttered in my living room.

Dwayne Allen at TE

Amendola and Blount, yes, though once LaFell returns and Danny drops a slot in the pecking order it won't be that easy. Chandler and Mayo, no, because you have to consider where they are on the depth chart.

But he refused to turn over his phone Funny how many kickers are struggling now that PSI levels are enforced.

Dwayne Allen at TE

Allen -
2015 IND 3 4 38 12.7 9.5 0 1

Chandler -
2015 NE 3 6 49 16.3 8.2 0 1

Similar numbers. I'd give the edge to Chandler for being a "better" redzone target though.

Dwayne Allen is said to be a good blocker. Good blocker with decent receiving skills > Chandler

That being said. Dwayne Allen is the #1 tight end in my eyes. Coby Fleener is #2

That was my first thought as well.
