    X's & O's Chalk talk: Miami @ NE

    Sorry, I should have said “you cannot block downfield on a downfield pass play”. You are allowed to block downfield as long as the ball is not thrown more than a yard past the LOS. So screens are acceptable. Blocking downfield on any pass concept where the ball is thrown downfield is not...

    X's & O's Chalk talk: Miami @ NE

    Yeah, that is what I was saying. You cannot block downfield on a pass play before the ball is caught, regardless of your position.

    Hugely important improvement. The offense has actually been worse moving the ball in terms of per-play efficiency. But the redzone success has a massive impact on overall offensive output

    X's & O's Chalk talk: Miami @ NE

    I don’t think that second part is correct. Receivers cannot block downfield on pass plays. Illegal pick plays are still illegal even if the ball hasn’t been thrown yet. That would open quite a crazy element if they could block downfield. Imagine if you could get a receiver open by just having...

    X's & O's Chalk talk: Miami @ NE

    Unless I’m missing some context here, no- this isn’t the case. You can of course snap the ball while a skill player is in motion. They only have to fully reset if multiple guys were moving. Otherwise jet motion would be illegal, etc. You can’t be moving forward on the snap, and I think the NFL...

    PostGame Thread 2023 Week 2: Patriots Lose to Dolphins 24-17

    I agree with most of what you said, but the throw to gesicki on the last play wasn’t a bad decision. The protection was an absolute joke and he immediately had to chuck the ball out in the face of interior pressure. Gesicki was open enough that if mac coulda stepped into the throw it would’ve...

    Patriots Pregame Thread 2023 Week 2 OFFICIAL Pre-Game Thread: Patriots vs Dolphins (EDIT: was Phish chatter)

    Really hope Jon Jones can go. His importance vs tyreek is no secret. Any word on armstead’s chances to play? If we have at least one of strange and Trent, I’d love to see the run game get going. This would be an ideal game to lean on it. If they’re going to play 2 high with fangio, let’s get...

    OT: Who are you rooting for in Bills-JEST?

    Definitely rooting for Bills. With all this new here hype it would be satisfying to see them just fall flat tomorrow. Also, more likely to be competing for wildcard with jets

    Game Day Thread 2023 Week 1 OFFICIAL Game Thread: Patriots vs Eagles

    I just don’t know how that can be your takeaway after putting together good clutch drives and the game literally ending on his wr not getting his feet in on a good ball and a moderately difficult (at best) catch. Especially when the drive before he put a good ball on Bourne on 3rd down. But...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Game Day - Patriots vs Eagles Pregame Thread

    Not going because I want to be watching the 1:00’s on TV for week 1. But I want this one REAL bad. Can we get the initial signature win of the Mac era on Tom’s day?

    Prices for game tickets up due to Brady ceremony

    That’s really weird, to be honest. I started buying playoff tickets in 2014 and did so through 2019. Secondary market was pretty much always in the $300s for seats in the 300s. Tickets are overall much cheaper now than they were 5 years ago.

    2023 NFL season begins - The final countdown

    Was such a long wait this year. Lot of interesting stuff week 1. Chris Jones holdout for first game? Browns bengals should be good. Dolphins and jets games really good too. Steelers game as well.

    Watching Pats games with Roku

    Last I checked fubo doesn’t have tnt, which is an issue for some national Celtics games… I have youtubetv as well but I get fubo just for Red Sox. Brutal

    If they haven’t added a qb by practice, today is probably going to be quite the unique experience for Mac. Going through position meetings and practice alone with the coaches…
