6.6 ? That's horrendous

Mac's 27.2 is horrendous.

Wilson's 6.6 is an abortion. Mathematically, 4x worse than Mac's horrendous rating.

It's actually one of those #s that go to infinity: 4.1212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212....

You have been working in the Casino long enough to know I only deal with round numbers!

Lol

Why does he look small in that photo? Does he even lift?

 

[WinstonSmith]

Lol

As long as it doesn't taste like ***

Evidently so does Davon Godchaux

His name will always be pronounced Good-chow to me now.

I'd rather he be known more for causing disruption in the opponent's backfield than eating his girlfriend's backfield. But hats off to him. She's kind of hot.

I am sure he continues to cause disruption in the backfield at home. And better him than me. All these young folks with their acrobatics and strip clubs, Work and pray, I say, boy, that's all that matters. Work and pray.

Sorry, that last part I was channeling this miniseries on the Adamses. Yes, she appears to be quite fit.

This below is the picture when he would have needed to throw - that's potentially a pick waiting to happen. As it happens those two defenders then came off the guy on the 20, but the QB doesn't know that will happen.

The Pats have always had a timing offense, and that's terrible spacing by the three WRs there. The two deep guys nearly run into each other and don't look for the ball at all.

100% right. When Bedard (?) mentioned this play, I was wondering what he was looking at. We had 3 guy run into defenders, one guy turned and did a curl. Clearly the best play was exactly where Mac was looking at, a WR isolated one on one with a safety deep. There are 5 defenders the other way.

So for everybody's good luck charm uses, I picked the JETE on the picks contest. As you know I am always wrong, therefore ensuring a Patriots victory. I am hoping that this pick is enough to manipulate the spacetime continuum, as I might have to take the Pats in the Dingleberry Casino.

Once again the schedule makers were very unfavorable to the Patriots. Normally after a Thursday night game, the teams get a mini bye as they have 10 days off but not the PATS. They play back to back on Thursday !!!!!! This annoys me no end.

But then after the 2nd TNF a road MNF, so that's a longer mini bye.

It is a wierd schedule. No games for 13 days followed by 3 games in 11 days followed by no games for 10 days.

JuJu Smith-Schuster = wish we were more aggressive for him last FA 445yds and counting with Mahomes.

Jacobi Meyers = I think he's going for the $$$$$ and better QB play.

Mecole Hardman = He's been a decent speed WR from the Harry Draft I think we would have been happy with a Hardman selection no pun.

Allen Lazard = Very interesting player knows how to get in the EZ way more career TD than Meyers thus far.

DJ Chark = We might get another shot at him next FA I am sure Detroit is moving on.

Like I said not a very impressive class but they are few guys here and there. I wouldn't break the bank for any of those WR's Meyers included.

Minor thing, but you and Ashley spelled Jakobi’s name wrong in unique ways in consecutive posts. He’s our guy!
Another observation is a lot of the board seems to have a tendency repeatedly to say “Aghalar.” ¯\_(?)_/¯

Since joining the Patriots as a staff writer, he's become a yes-man, losing his independent analysis. He's contantly walking on egg shells to avoid appearing negative.

Really? I feel like that’s what people may have assumed would happen, but it really hasn’t imo. I’ve seen him be critical frequently this year. Including plenty of criticism of the coaching staff.

And then a SAT Xmas eve game after a SUN game after MNF. So two short weeks back 2 back. Very weird schedule.

Yea, maybe. I stopped reading him after a while. I have heard about his criticism of Patricia.

It sounds more weird than it actually is. Any time a team has a bye week, they have no games for 13 days. Any other time during the season they typically play 3 games in 14 days. All teams need to play Thursday Night Football once a season, so all 32 teams have a period where they have to play 3 games in 11 days followed by no games for 10 days. It’s a minor coincidence that the bye is close to the TNF game on the pats schedule this year, but I wouldn’t call it too out of the ordinary.

The back to back Thursday games because of Thanksgiving is weird though, I’ll give you that. It’s a lucky break because they get the full week of practice. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was designed that way since the Bills also have the same exact thing.

Maybe I am missing something. The Pats play two Thursday night games in a row. They are the only team with two Thursday night games in 2022. The Bills and Rams both play twice on Thursday but the 1st game of the year is not considered a TNF game.

When do the other teams play 3 games in 11 days? Did you count the days? When do other teams play 3 games in 14 days? All teams play 2 games in 5 days or 3 games in 15 days. Only the Patriots play 3 games in 11 days.
