and this team that the talent to be 13-4 is SO MUCH, MUCH worse that we are below average in OFF and DEF, and won't be in the playoffs???
Yes I believe that as of today we are average/below-average on both offense and defense.
I also believe that some points matter more than others.
That 7-game winning streak, and thereby the statistics accumulated during it, was a Mirage. Period.
Man, you & R6 can be really obtuse at times...
Was just going to say maybe he shouldn’t. Cam Newton and Harry were the last two.F that. That number is cursed.

Glad someone brought 17 up: Patriots purgatory.Avoid 17 while we're at it. At this point, between the cursed numbers and numbers of guys we don't want to disrespect, he's going to have to wear 00 or something.
On Agholor being traded lets just say easier said than done his cap # is kinda high.I wonder how the offense will evolve from last season now that Parker was brought in as the presumptive WR1. In order for all their offensive pieces to contribute Mac is going to need to throw the ball a lot more than he did last season.
I wonder if this trade signals a more pass happy offense in Mac's second year or a similar offense to last year that plays with tempo so they can get off more plays. Jonnu Smith, Agholor, Parker, and White will all expect increased touches compared to last year and I'm not sure if there will be enough opportunities to go around. Agholor for a pick on draft day might make sense.
As the offseason isnt complete, I hesitate to guess. The draft and UDFAs paired with pre-camp signings will greatly alter the current roster. Add in injuries, retirements, and unexpected cuts and suddenly the variables outnumber the known data points.I wonder how the offense will evolve from last season now that Parker was brought in as the presumptive WR1.

So they were a legit 10-0 team in days they won and a legit 0-8 team in days they lost.You're not fool enough to believe that wins and losses, without context, paint a complete picture. And his original post was talking about today, and commenting on the context of last year's wins.
And, citing to the Parcells line, as if the Patriots were a legit 7-0 team during that stretch, leads to the obvious followup, which is that they were also a legit 3-8 team outside of it. After all, they were what their record said they were.
My initial reaction is that I'd hope for more production than those two, but both had 70+ catch, 900+ yards and 4+ TD seasons for the Patriots so I guess those numbers wouldn't be bad numbers for Parker, especially if he misses games (which is likely).As the offseason isnt complete, I hesitate to guess.

As far as how Parker will be used? Think Brandon Lafell and Brandon Lloyd as a couple recent examples if I were to guess.
1) WR's get injured.I wonder how the offense will evolve from last season now that Parker was brought in as the presumptive WR1. In order for all their offensive pieces to contribute Mac is going to need to throw the ball a lot more than he did last season.

Do you mean that the catches will be great and the YACs close to zero?As the offseason isnt complete, I hesitate to guess.

Find me one post from anyone on any platform that suggests someone actually believes this.1) WR's get injured.
2) I'd rather have Agholor.
3) The underlying reason folks want to dump Agholor is that they are afraid that he will take reps from Myers.
4) Parker, Agholor, Bourne, Myers and a learning rookie is fine for 2022 and into the future.
5) Hopefully, either Myers or Agholor will be extended and we will fine for 2023.
BOTTOM LINE
Belichick will hopefully draft a WR in the 2nd-4th. WR will no longer be a WR weakness and disaster for 2023 (only Bourne signed).
But yes, I could see Agholor getting traded and the team counting on a rookie as a backup.
Yes, if you are what your record says you are. And the Patriots finished 1-4, and were a team that couldn't even force a punt in 20% of those games.So they were a legit 10-0 team in days they won and a legit 0-8 team in days they lost.
