Interesting - the reports I see show some chance of rain in San Francisco but not in Santa Clara (<10% precipitation chance on Sunday).

If anyone is familiar with the Bay Area you'll know that San Francisco basically has its own climate separate from rest of the Bay Area.

Good point, should be looking at santa clara

But.. But.. According to some, That doesn't matter. Cause.. well Drake doesn't have enough experience for the game to slow down for him yet.. Because... the QBs for the Texans and Bronocs weren't good and well, that put more pressure on their defenses ...

The excuses and total ridiculousness of the people who just can't admit the Pats are a very good team continues to reach new heights.

Note: You are not one of those people Rob..

Funny how that Blueprint works. Since the Bills game, the Pats are six and oh, quite the blueprint there on how to beat the Pats and Drake Maye. Oh and the Bills game, they scored 31 points.

Just because they claim the "blueprint is there" doesn't mean other teams have used it.

 

[KCSVEN]

Not happenning but yes please

Just because they claim the "blueprint is there" doesn't mean other teams have used it.

...or have the personnel to execute it.

Looks like this "blueprint" is pretty much a coaching opportunity for Maye. There's nothing wrong with the easier throws when the opportunities are there and they should be. This is what other teams defenses do to a young QB, until he proves he can beat that scheme.

And it's so weird how none of the EAsIeSt SKEduuLe EvurRRR truthers picked the Patriots to win the AFC this year. I mean... I picked them for 7 wins WITH that schedule.

I think rain would help the pats as it might minimize JSN impact

so you think that corners have the advantage over top receivers in the rain; not me

 

[Nikolai]

Well....I did my analysis...the one that correctly predicted SB51 and SB52...I don't like the results. That said, there's certainly a margin for error and the results may fall within it.

I did not post the SB52 results prior to the game because I didn't want to kill the buzz. Debating what to do with these results, other than possibly put my money where my mouth is over on Fanduel or whatever...

EDIT - One critical thing I realize I missed...not weighting recent play that highlights the Pats D...even if it's not great for our O

 

[Mack Herron]

So no need to play the game?

I don’t think there is a universe in which JSN doesn’t have the edge over any cornerback. He knows where he’s going and the DB has to react. Rain doesn’t help the DB. JSN will get his catches. But he won’t win every time. I gotta think Vrabel will try to eliminate big plays to JSN and make them play left handed.

Watching NFL Live. I can’t be the only person here who finds it weird Orlovsky is obsessed with QB’s feet considering he stepped out of the endzone…

Oh man, this is an amazing two sentence work of art! It packs in so much. There's the timeless "music stopped being good when it stopped sounding like it did when I was young" bit. ("These 'Beatles' and 'Rolling Stones" are just passing fads, give me Benny Goodman any day!!") There's the dismissal of a performer with 20 straight years at the top of the industry as a flash in the pan and indistinguishable from an old Disney Channel kids' sitcom because they both appeal to "females" instead of "people." Solid gold, thank you.

But yeah, guitar rock bands are something of a dying breed, the radio plays a lot of the same stuff as decades ago. Though some of the young "females" in pop are actually recording rock songs that don't get acknowledged as such, e.g. Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo.

100% true about Swift.

She's the most dominant force in the history of pop music. I gave my 1 year old a Build-A-Bear that played a Taylor Swift song (Shake it Up). My 1 year old is in her 20s now and in college.

Has anyone listened to Lady Gaga's last album?

It's incredible. I'm in my late 50s. I'm floored by the songs on that album.

By the way, there are also a lot of good contemporary rock bands still out there. We listen to them all the time with my kids in the car.

HAIM, The Beths, Big Thief, St. Vincent, and you still have bands from the 00's like Les Savy Fav and Yeah Yeah Yeahs putting out good new albums. Heck, Pixies are still putting out new albums.

Personally, I'll listen to anything by Doja Cat.

Is there no practice report today?

 

[DaBruinz]

Pretty sure that means Farmer's has expired as well.

Hes been hanging out with Rex Ryan
