What a gorgeous day for football. Things are much the same as two weeks ago, parking lots not as full as usual. We’ll see, the stadium still got filled up prior to kickoff vs. Bills. All-blue uniforms today. LET’S GO!!!
That's it. I'm done with BB. His stubbornness and ego have cost this team so much over the last 3 years.
We're down to our last 3 healthy WR's (barely count JSS) and he doesn't activate Boutte!?!
It's stupid old Parcellian (kindegarten) mind games. You just lost the locker room for sure.
Boutte has done everything to earn a chance, after BB's all-out attempts to destroy another WR draft pick.
Even if they win this game, I'm all in for Kraft to fire BB this week. Use Germany and the bye to recalibrate.
Let BOB run the team the 2nd half and plan for a total reboot. I'm sick of the grumpy old man who really doesn't seem to care.
He doesn't provide any advantage anymore, any coach can get you to 10-15 the last 1.5 seasons.
It's factually been his team management that has cost you more games than the players losing them.
Patriots are without 3 OTs in Reiff, Anderson, and Wheatley. Means that they only have Brown, McDermott and Lowe on the 53 with Onwenu as a swing between RG and RT. McDermott has been horrid at LT in his career..
His CAREER Numbers at LT:
228 snaps - 153 Pass Blocking - 7 Sacks allowed , 4, hits, 8 hurries
I know others won't want to hear this, but Vedarian Lowe, who played LT in College and at the spot all preseason, would be a better option there.
Gotta be a discipline situation. That's the only thing that makes sense, especially given his public comments on social media recently. He must be saying things in the locker room and it's getting back to the coaches because it doesn't make any sense otherwise.
Douglas and Boutte were both 6th round picks. If Boutte practiced well like Douglas I am sure Boutte would be playing like Douglas is. I doubt the reason is some nefarious attitude issue - his social media comments were tame. Boutte is coming off a very bad ankle injury (double surgery) and it takes time.

I thought that, but the comments from the coaching staff certainly pointed to him looking good enough in practice where, in theory, he should have been active. Hard not to wonder if there's not a little more to this given that both Parker and Bourne are gone.
At the same time, they also have to limit the number of elevations, which is the other thing I was thinking. But they're basically trotting out Douglas, Smith-Schuster, Reagor and Thornton. The only other thing I'm wondering is if maybe they're planning to work Gesicki going more this week or get Brown more involved. Curious to see how this unfolds.
