If the OL can't block, I hope they put Milton in there instead of Maye. Drake has mobility, but not as much as Milton, plus I suspect he'll weather the hits better than Drake.

I believe Drake is the back up. When Brissett goes down because of Okorafor getting pushed into him the Drake era begins.

Post your predictions here for Week 1, New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals

This contest is open to everyone, it's both a weekly and a season-long contest. Stakes are bragging rights.

*********** PLEASE NOTE THE SLIGHT CHANGE FOR THIS SEASON *********

******** Above the reply box is now an area to make your score prediction: ************

Here's an example of what it looks like:




You just slide the red markers and select your score, and then post your reply with your prediction and any additional comments in this thread so we can keep it the same way it always has been, with the exception of having you pick your score. This allows either me or @alamo to update the results much faster, ie: I've been posting the results within a day or two after the game

You will also want to drop a comment with your prediction as well for the sake of keeping the spirit of this contest intact as that's how @alamo has always done it. The scrollbars are just to make it easier for it to be tallied.

Getting back to the rules, as a one-time allowance for computer problems, forgetfulness, or whatever, one week can be missed and will be assigned that week's average score.

SCORING:

Your score is the COMBINED deviation of your predicted score for the Pats and opponents REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION. For example, if you predict Patriots 31 Bengals 23 your score is how many points off of 31 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 23 the Bengals are (over or under again does not matter). Game winner does not matter. Lowest score wins.

You may change your prediction at any time before kickoff, which the window will close at that time and your selection will stand. Please keep this thread to predictions only (after you make the pick), no back-and-forth discussion of the game. A short comment explaining your pick is OK and encouraged after you've made your selection.

Good Luck!

Low scoring game. Pats O too weak to punch it in. Passing game contained. Running game and short passes and kicker good enough to get them 3 FGs.
Pats D holds C to 20 despite a costly turnover.

That’s why I want Milton in there. He’s bigger and more mobile, so less chance of injury. Drake is going to get rolled just like JB, and we’ll just have to hope nothing serious happens.

I like Milton. But he still needs refining. Drake is our only chance. He's our present and future.

As I've said. I believe Brissett is on borrowed time.

Good luck to all of you who picked the Pats. I wish I had your confidence.

I know it's hard to be confident. But week 1s can always be either way.

He might not be our future if he is seriously hurt. There's always injury risk in football, but this OL is bad, bad enough that injury risk is higher than it should be, much higher. You just said that JB is at risk of getting hurt for that very reason. Why don't you think Drake will be in the same position?

From what little I've seen it looks like Maye is pretty mobile.

It appears that the plan was to hire Brissett for one year and have him mentor Maye.
