As perfect a win as youll see in the nfl. From the coaching to the execution, a real glimpse at what this team is capable of.

We go as our ol goes as i said earlier, they are finally full strength and playing well as a unit.

Imagine having Rham and harris healthy at the same time. Both are starter quality, so when one needs a breather nice to have little to no dropoff ( saw that with jj when rham needed a breather).

I think this year is thus far the best job ive seen by our defensive coaching staff. They are not the most talented ive seen but they play so well together. Only one really bad outing this year against dallas and I personally think they were being asked to do too much that day.

Only disappointed in meyers as a pr. Weve got to have someone that can fill in at least somewhat alright there.

Hard not to be excited for the stretch run. This was our best game of the year and barring alot of injuries I expect to see the momentum continue.
 
Best W of the year so far. After getting pushed around at the beginning of the game, the defensive front controlled the line of scrimmage. Mayfield was never comfortable when he was in after that. Rham should be the starter, moving forward. He’s gotten better in pass pro, he’s a threat to defenses on both the ground and through the air, and he’s a punishing back. Harris should be the change of pace guy from now on.

I dunno but I like the 1-2 punch of Harris and Rham. Two dynamic backs with different styles, which makes it tough on defenses.
 
I looked at it a couple of times in slow motion on my Tivo. He initially bobbles it, but as he is going to the ground he clearly controls it against his chest, and he maintains control as he hits the ground, ending with the ball firmly held against his chest well away from the ground. So he had control both before and after he hit the ground, so I don't think it matters if it moved as it hit the ground.
Agreed. Henry was smart to just keep the ball pinned where it was. If he tried to adjust it, bring the other hand over, or anything like that then it would have looked like he didn't have control and would have more likely been overturned.

Oh I love them both as a 1-2 punch, but Rham should be getting more snaps. The defense can key on what we’re going to do with Harris on the field whereas Rham has already shown himself to be a more than capable receiver.
 
Despite this they still should have beaten the Titans in the 2019 playoffs. It was 14-13 at halftime and the Titans' offense put up 0 points the entire second half, yet the offense couldn't even manage a FG. Such a shame that the Brady era ended on an offensive stinker like that.

Will be interesting to see if they can stop the Titans' running game this time around without Henry running the ball.
yeah, well he's not here anymore, not gonna worry about the way he left.

All in on the 2021 Patriots. Everyone else? They be the Enemy.

Titans are wounded. We got a shot.

Both run really hard, as does Bolden. I love our running game, especially the last 5 weeks. Brown makes a difference too. Stevenson, there’s just something about him, I think defensive players don’t realize how big he is, until they try to tackle him. I also think he shocks them because he has decent speed, and excellent shiftiness. Also a better receiver than people realized.
 
Less than one year ago Tom had his Bucs on top of the football world while Bill and his Pats were mired in mediocrity. Many ion the media proclaimed that the Patriots success was all due to Brady. Today while Tom Brady's Bucs Super Bowl hopes dimmed in a loss to the WFT, Belichick's Patriots took the field without a top FA signing (Smith) and top RB (Harris) against a stout Browns team coming off a beat down of the Bengals. We saw it all come together with FAs Henry, Bourne and Judon, and draft picks Barmore, Stevenson and Jones, execute a brilliant game plan with flawless offensive play calling took a blowtorch to the Browns and vaporized a solid team to the tune of 45-7. It's just one game, of course, but today as the Bucs fade ,the Patriots rookie QB had a Brady-esque performance and the Patriots future shines bright with promise.

I am beginning to question the durability of Harris as a lead back. He struggles to finish games even when he is not hurt.

and we incessantly heard it from members of this forum that Brady made Belichick and that Belichick was exposed last year without him...
 
Can we give a shout-out to Brandon bolden.. he is exceeding expectations to astronomical proportions. At this rate , sky is the limit and he could win honors like white or Edelman.. kudos and props to Josh for sticking with him . He seems to be mac's safety valve and a phenomenal one at it. He hasn't allowed us to miss white by much... Comes up with crucial 3 rd down plays...
