What the hell is a brownie? The food?

Next you'll be telling me a yeti is a water bottle.

What the hell is a brownie? The food?

From Scottish lore: the "Brownies" were good-natured little spirits or goblins of the fairy order. They were all little men, and appeared only at night to perform good and helpful deeds or enjoy harmless pranks while weary households slept, never allowing themselves to be seen by mortals.

Don't do this too me rain...

They have the parts on defense to matchup with anyone. Maye is playing well. The only thing that will hold them back are injuries.

KC, Denver and LAC are going to beat each other up.

Colts face KC, @Pittsburgh, Houston twice, @ Seattle, SF, and Jacksonville twice

The schedule looks too easy for the Pats. It's happening!

Brownies do sell those cookies but let's hope they aren't what the cookies are made from...

Looking at the schedule, this has 2001 written all over it. The only teams the Pats face with good to elite QB's are Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and possibly Lamar Jackson who will have given up on the season. I think Tua sits week 18. Wow!

The rest of the schedule is 1st and 2nd year QB's and Jags. The road to the #1 seed continues Sunday.

And here's the uniform check...

In 2001 though we had the Greatest Show on Turf.

Pats lost in the regular season then beat them in the SB that started it all.

Ricky Proehl knew.

“You’re witnessing the birth of the next dynasty baby!”

Could that be considered the Butt Fumble of prognostications?

He was SO right.

So who is our Greatest Show on Turf?

Greatest Pass on Grass????

Pat's jacket is the wrong color.

EDIT: Posted this before reading the other comments; didn't mean to pile-on.

Yes and no.

When the Revolutionary war began, there was no official uniform for the Continental army because there wasn't even an army since the British ruled the colonies. So, the Continental soldiers wore what they had including red coats as in this reenactment. There was no money for uniforms anyway. The red coat Continental soldiers fought on the front lines and the sharp shooters and snipers fought out in woods wearing drab everyday work clothes that blended in with the landscape.



Perhaps the person who made the Browns vs Pats pic was trying to mesh the Patriots old school red home jersey with the past. That's what I surmised.

Yeah, this slightly ugly guy-

Browns D played the Packers tough. That Packers offense is FULL of impact play makers. This will be a challenging game. Even at home. Pats need to put up 17 to win IMO

My first thought was the same. But the Lions put up 34, Steelers put up 23, Ravens put up 41. They have some good defensive players but offenses have scored on them.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

If the light suddenly goes on for Henderson and he becomes the player we saw in TC, that will be a huge boost to the Pats offense, and one more thing for the rest of the NFL to worry about.

If we polled Pats fans after TC on which rookie would have the greatest impact, Henderson would have been one of highest vote totals.

I think he'll be fine, even if its next year. Maybe it's the way josh coaches, but not unusual for it to take longer. In the meantime, if we keep getting Good Rham, we're in good shape.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

I'm pretty sure they will.

Now, show me how Cleveland gets to 17.

ha, gotta be a turnover or two and maybe a special teams return? I have them at 19 and don't feel good about it at all.

The Browns mascot. Brownie the Elf has been associated with the Cleveland Browns for over 78 years, first appearing as the team's mascot in a 1946 advertisement before their first game.

ha, I always thought it had to do with Paul Brown. I have learned something!

Remaining schedule looks like gas (Bills), grass (Bucs), or ass (Jets).

It does. The team was named for him, the "brownies" thing evolved as a result.

You make a great point rain. Thinking back to that 01 season.. how it just turned for us.. we have the QB, the coaching the guys on the roster. I'm starting to believe. We could withstand any injury to any player not named Drake maye. How are you feeling about this Cleveland game tomorrow?

Thanks. I really did not know that!

They don't face anyone in that caliber in either conference. The NFL is a far cry to what it used to be. Many team fan base's can make a case why they have a chance.

I still go into every game expecting the unexpected like 2001. Each week I was asking when the Pat's Cinderella season was going to end? In fact, the Pats had some luck along the way as they needed an Oakland collapse to get the #2 seed. Going to Oakland in the Divisional Round probably ends their season.

It took me until 2003 to finally get over Bledsoe and believe Tom Brady was the QB of the future. I think the team is good enough to compete and the schedule is to their advantage. We'll see if they can capitalize on it like the 2001 Pats did going a whopping 9-1 against teams under .500.

Guessing its another slow start, then a defensive battle. I just hope Maye gets better at sliding.
