Wait, do we have any healthy wide receivers left?

[203Pat]

It’s got to be the knee issues, as he had another procedure right before training camp. He looked like a bright, young up and coming player last year averaging 4.5 YPC. This year, he’s all the way down to 3.3.

He had a great O-line last year. This year his O-line isn't great and he isn't good enough to make the first defender miss and turn a two yard run into a 5 yard run. He's a plodder.

I just hope that with wynn back it will give brady that extra nano second or so to pick out the free player , it's got to be better

Hopefully we stop running those sprint right passes to get away from whatever free rusher Newhouse allows as well.

Wish we had a receiver like Hopkins or Jones

I don't. Chad Finn always felt that elite receivers like were just shiny hood ornaments. Pretty to look at but not all that functional. I think you have to go back to the 90s coqwboys and michael irvin to find a team that won it all with one of the great receivers. Then who, 49ers n rice, steelers & swann?

PS, those teams ALSO had great RBs. Maybe its a Team Game.

The Broncos won with the greatest receiver who ever walked the earth, Demaryius Thomas. It's a wonder that team doesn't have a fist full of rings with a talent such as DT all those years.

Waiting for Brady to have to resort to throwing 50 yard fly routes to Gunner in the playoffs and still be told about how we didn’t need AB.

Gunner is on IR

The chicken littles thread is over there

I am not worried..........

 

[tasmlab]

Dread from it, run from it, the Matthew Slater go route still arrives

Does anyone know if Slater practices with the WRs on offense drills/practice? Does he know the playbook and such?

 

[captain stone]

Could be. I’ve never been a fan of using 1st round picks on RBs unless he’s an absolute stud coming out of college like Barkley...

...or Nick Chubb...

Bedard said that Mason looked closer to his old self on Sunday. That with the addition of LaCosse and Wynn, we may see a better running game...

Please tell us that was a typo...

 

[captain stone]

We have Jack Feckin Squat at WR for Sunday and quite possibly beyond, yet Bill & Early-Bird Bobby let it be known through their flaks that they will not re-sign AB should he become available again...Brady deserves better than this...

 

[Kdo5]

Whichever JAG it is that can’t beat single coverage.

 

[ivanvamp]

Should have taken Chubb.

But didn't. Oh well.

Pencil in 2 catches for 14 yards for Jack F. Squat on Sunday.

It’s called running behind a crappy OL.....do you think Brady’s poor stats this year might be helped by having longer than 2 seconds to find a receiver and make a throw???? (also would help if we had 1-2 more elite receivers....)....cmon it’s Football 101...starts with the OL

Don’t bother trying to reason with the New England Bradys fans. When 12 has a bad game they fall all over themselves blaming the OL, etc. But when Michel, etc. has a bad game it’s because he sucks.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

So what is the over/under on how many gadget plays Sunday?

As many as it takes to win. How spoiled do you have to be to complain about style points??

It just makes me nervous that we are having trouble lining up and running our offense and having to resort to the gimmick plays.

Wish we had a receiver like Hopkins or Jones

Next time the Pats go 3-13 they can get one

.

why do people assume that if a different team drafts a guy that the result will be the same?

 

[IllegalContact]

lol........every thread is becoming a chicken little thread

such spoiled little whining ninnies
