Good read about the blocked field goal from Mike Reiss:

Inside Patriots' thrilling FG block that's 'going to change the game'

2011 - Week 3
2014 - Week 1
2015 - Week 12

Don't know why those years are listed ambiguously as "Only lost one home game".

Edit: I do now. See @Grogan1980 below.

Edit again: These are when 1st game was lost, not 2nd.

It's a list of when they lost their second home game ... So he's noting they didn't lose a second home game...

Duh. You can hit me with a Goodell emoji. Up too early, not enough coffee. Counting to 2 is hard.

My ex-wife used to have to take her shirt off to count to 2

Rodney Harrison talking about fans giving up on the Patriots already:

It would be 'dumb' to count the Patriots out after 0-2 start, says 2-time Super Bowl champion


“It’s dumb for fans to sit there and say that. It’s just stupid. I mean, if you know anything about coach (Bill) Belichick, you know, every single week, I don’t care what the record is. They’re gonna fight and claw and they’ve giving themselves a chance to win against two good teams back to back,” Rodney said. “Both of these teams should be in the playoffs, that they lost to. These are good football teams. And I just, I don’t get it. You bury a team after a couple of weeks. I mean, obviously there’s a learning curve. Just like Christian Gonzalez being a young player. There’s a learning curve on defense as well. You’re trying to figure out what you have on defense. What do you have on offense? It’s early."

Expect posts on how Rodney doesn't know chit in 5, 4, 3, 2...

It seems like it was only yesterday when I was pondering what the Patriots were going to do with all of their good or up and coming healthy CBs...

I'm a little surprised Marcus Jones isn't on IR yet.

Maybe this is the move.

Pretty good short article:

RIP Ian O'Connor.

Both CBs Jones will be out for a while. Might see em both back after the halfway mark.

Why is Sow still out? I guess Mafi is the go-to backup at LG and RG.
Assuming Brown is back at LT, looks like Lowe might be at RT - cause Anderson was horrible.

12th times a charm?

He wasn't much better week 1 either.
