Patriots Pregame Thread Official Pre Game Thread- Browns @ Pats (Patriots 1000th game ever!)

[RobertWeathers]

Hopefully Hunt is out too for them. THen we can focus on stopping Peoples-Jones and Landry, whom I detest from his Miami days.

Hunt will not play.

Chubb out for us is "The Opportunity"

I hope we can still hv a good rb duo Rham + JJ

 

[Sicilian]

Chubb out helps, but Johnson is still averaging 5.3 per attempt (on limited carries). That OL is the real problem. I don't think this changes the gameplan all that much, just hopefully reduces the risk of chunk runs.

Things for the 2021 Patriots continue to roll their way.

I actually think they've been unlucky so far. This is definitely a huge break though.

Yea maybe the last couple of weeks seem like things are going their way but I agree. The first few games not so much.

 

[PScottman]

No chubb? Woooow.

Things just got interesting.

As much as I preach "it's a team game" with the Patriots, it's the same with the Browns. Yes, Chubb is a significant contributor to the Browns being #1 in the league running the ball, but the OL and complimentary forces such as threat of a passing game also are factors.

I would guess that the game planning will still be to take away what the Browns (team) do well which is run and make them beat the Pats via the air.

So you’re saying there’s a chance….

Their backup running back D'Ernest Johnson rushed for 146 yards in 22 attempts vs Denver a few weeks ago...so he is capable of playing well.

Says the guy who actually committed an assault on the field not too long ago. Well Myles, just make sure you don’t turn into a helmet swinger on Sunday.

I mean Pats were never gonna rule them out until inactives are due because there is a chance they could still pass protocol

Cleveland 1993 you think? So he kept starting NKeal Harry last year until he got hurt, benched Jacobi Meyers for 6 wks last year until NKeal was hurt, started Durant/Herron at RT for 6 weeks, benched Karras for 6 wks, kept Onwenu at LG.

This is way off from Lazar.

It sucks that Garrett is going to try hard this week now.

The more I think about Josh McD play call, I feel he is doing better than what he gets credit for . Yes , he is conservative and does not get creative often, but we have a fighting chance in every freaking game . Even last year we might have lost 3-4 close games. This season with a rookie, all the losses have been so close that with some luck we could have been 8-1 .

And if we think about the success outside of Brady , brissett, garopollo, Cassel , Mac all have had success here. So some credit is due to Josh McD.

And I scoured through every freaking forum. Everybody cribs about their draft and their OC. Brian daboll has suddenly become an outcast for the Bills. So it's more a fanboy sentiment rather than reality.

Considering where we are , and the fact that we can think about playoffs with a rookie QB and some underperforming WR, we need to give credit to Josh as well. Else Mac could end up like Wilson or worse Goff.

Sounds like an endorsement by Bill for the future HC of the New England Patriots.
