Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson will have a career days.

I hope Milton is ready we might get to him soon enough.

Rumors this could be Maye's first start. Pats by a million! LFG!

1-4 heading for 1-16. Maybe this will be enough for Kraft to get out and sell the team to someone who cares. Kraft has become Ralph Wilson in his declining years, Only difference is Kraft has some rings.

I want to see Tyquan with Drake on Sunday... maybe that will increase his trade value.. becuase KC is desperate for WR help.

I'm an optometrist*, so I just don't see how the Pats lose this game. All 3 phases are running like a well oiled machine. 300+ yards for Brisk and a breakout game for Box of Rocks Thornton. It shall be glorious!

*Not really

This reminds me of that weird thing where Kraft gave one of his rings to Putin. Can I possibly be remembering that right?

Update, yep:

"Putin got a 2005 Super Bowl ring from Kraft in 2005, but it’s unclear whether Kraft meant to give the ring away.

Kraft and other U.S. businessmen got face time with Putin at a meeting near St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2005 following Super Bowl XXXIX. Russian media reported at the time that Kraft gave Putin the ring near the end of the meeting and that Putin put it in his pocket and walked off, according to The Associated Press.

In a statement, Kraft said he had gifted Putin with the ring. “I showed the president my most recent Super Bowl ring. [Putin] was clearly taken with its uniqueness,” Kraft said in a statement. (Uniqueness is one word for it: The ring is encrusted with 124 diamonds.)

“At that point, I decided to give him the ring as a symbol of the respect and admiration that I have for the Russian people and the leadership of President Putin, [emphasis added]” Kraft added.

A senior Kremlin official informed The Associated Press that Putin then gave the ring to the Kremlin library, which hosts a collection of foreign gifts."

How's that for weird?

How so? This is the first year post-BB. BB had basically free rein to do what he wanted down in Foxboro for the better part of 20 years. Kraft's been very hands-off (despite what the conspiracy theorist around here like to say).

He gave it to him with the expectation that he'd look at it and then give it back to him but Putin put it in his pocket.

See the little news story I have added to the post.

When you can't trust a ruthless dictator that has his enemies poisoned, who can you trust?

He hadn't done that at that point.

 

[KCSVEN]

Not sure what the "Plan" is if true Maye may start.
-Let's not start Maye with Jacoby off two terrible games, playing a Miami team that has trouble scoring and lacks a good pass rush.
-Let's skip that 1 and throw him in against a good pass rushing team and a playoff caliber team overall with an offense way better than Miami.

-Texans are 5th best in ny/a on pass defense, Dolphins were in the bottom 10, before they played the Pats.
-Texans allow 57.3% completion BEST in NFL , Miami is 16th AFTER our game
-Texans 4th in the league in Sacks, Miami is 26th after our game

If you were not giving him his first start vs Dolphins which was IDEAL, you can't do it against the Texans, makes no sense.

Good point. I gave Pol Pot a couple of my merit badges back in '78.

Hadn't done what at what point? (If this conversation isn't fiddling while Rome burns, I don't know what is, but such is chat.)

 

[patsinthesnow]

Having Drake Maye’s first career start vs. a superbowl contender with Hunter/Anderson vs. Lowe/Jacobs is dysfunctional.

The poisonings happened after the ring theft.

That's why it won't happen. Not this week.
