He *****made Shelton one-on-one. He’s a significant loss for them.I know their OL pretty much mauled the Patriots, but does anyone remember specifically how well he played?
Not so much Jackson but their offensive line. They have been relatively free of injuries like some teams that have had to put together patchwork lines... and eventually it catches up to you and we'll see how effective it is when they have to put backups out there....
2018: "Look out! It's Mahomes and his implanted bazooka where his arm used to be! Everybody run for cover before he lights us up!"I love the analogy. My own internal analogy has been that the Patriots are like comic book superheroes. They defeat one villain, so the writers have to come up with another villain who is even bigger, badder and more un-defeatable than the last. Then the hero figures out a way to defeat the newest challenge too. But look out! Here comes an ever newer, bigger, badder, more un-defeatable villain than before!! (and so on....)

2019: "Oh no! It's Flash Jackson with his bionic legs! We're not fast enough to catch him!"

We lost to Mahomes in our first matchup. Bad analogy.
I didn’t read the whole thread but I didn’t see anyone arguing that. If they did i don’t know why. Hitting the option QB whether he keeps or pitches is a well accepted piece of defending the option but it doesn’t stop it all by itself. Someone has to be responsible for the QB and someone has to be responsible for the pitch man. Planting the qb leads to him declaring earlier, and can lead to more fumbles, which is why it’s been an widely accepted facet of option defense.That’s no straw man. There have been multiple posters in this thread that have started their analysis with “hit him.” That’s ridiculously simplistic and is not as easy as it looks. Those people deserve to be mocked.

We got stomped in our very first game against him. On our own field.
His stat does not prove what he says it does. Here is the entire quote, including the part left out.Come on, that’s not fun for anyone. He posted a stat earlier in the thread and another link to an article above. It’s an interesting question that we can all have a discussion about, which is the whole point of a message board.
the stats in the article said a scrambling QB and a pocket QB in pass plays get hurt about as often. It then said on designed runs the Qb gets hurt one out of every 200-some runs."I believe the risk of a running QB being more prone to injury in comparison to a pocket passer is overstated by many analysts," Verros told SN. "One caveat would be that a running QB will attempt so many rushes per game that the sheer volume will still put him at an increased risk.
alex smith was the author of those Patriot losses... we are 2-0 vs Patrick MahomesWe got stomped in our very first game against him. On our own field.
I don’t think that poster was offering a scheme as much as holing for an injury.Starts on page one. Four posts in.
I got the sense the Pats were playing a little possum in that game. I might be wrong, but I think you will see a different defense if they meet again.We heard all this leaving up to the Sunday night game at Baltimore... Didn't work out too well
Honestly I couldn't care less about the media. Just remember 2014 or 2016 when the dynasty was apparently over. But I care about HFA in January because it is such a big advantage!
Last year that Media narrative was something that fired Brady up, so maybe if the whole nation thinks BB made a mistake it will end up in another catch phrase like "We're still here"
What is your YouTube? Your name seems familiarFor those of us that don't stay in a Patriots-centric bubble like this forum, these narratives are something we have to deal with, online and in our personal lives.
I've had to say this twice now-- a lot of you people on this forum live in or near New England, so you don't have to deal with opposing fans or ideas. For those of us that don't, we have to deal with this in real life. I've been in fist fights for simply wearing my Patriots colors. I'm LITERALLY in a somewhat heated Reddit argument with two people right now on r/NFL for simply stating "I believe a rematch with the Ravens will go differently". My fans constantly give me **** for repping the Pats in my streams or my Twitter.
My point is, it's a thing: Patriots hate IS REAL. Being a fan not living in New England is hell sometimes. A lot of this has to do with the narratives created by the media, which is all these fans of other teams have to go on (because they sure as hell don't watch the Patriots when we aren't playing their team).
So it's nice that you have the luxury to not have to care about what people think of the Patriots. Just know that the fandom is larger than Boston, and out here, in these streets, **** gets real.
