I dunno, having spent his career prior to this season catching passes from an unrepentant serial rapist, it's easy to see where Brown got the idea that nothing he did was that big a deal.
Guess he didn't get the memo that it's only OK if you're white and your team is owned by someone named Mara...
My guess is that Gronk would like the team help him make up his mind by offering to convert some of the 2019 incentives in his contract into roster bonuses. (Since that doesn't change the total value of the deal, they could do it as many times a year as they want.)
And TBH, Gronk could make a...
Huh? There were TONS of trade rumors about Gronkowski last spring. There was even a Friday in June in with multiple people reporting that Gronk had been traded. Patriots completely denied it.
No way to know what really happened because in the NFL, everybody lies [/I]all the time. Team execs...
Sammy Watkins' injury happened the game before Kareem Hunt was cut, which would clearly contribute to the statistical drop-off, and Watkins looked like he was moving pretty well in his first game back on Saturday. (6 catches on 8 targets, for 62 yards) especially his first catch of the game when...
I feel like a lot of people forget that 2004 is the season when Ty Law and Ty Poole got hurt, and the Pats had guys like Earthwind Moreland, Randall Gay, Don Davis, Dexter Reid and the reanimated corpse of Hank Poteat starting or playing significant snaps in our defensive backfield.
Remember...
PFT: AJ McCarron’s contract status adds to his trade value
You get a full year to evaluate McCarron in your system, with a full off-season for just $4 million before having to make any sort of major cap commitment/expenditure.
You still need Thuney and Andrews to execute their assignment and win their matchup on stretch and toss plays, or Gillislee will either have a guy in his face as soon as he gets the ball, or he'll get tracked down from the weak side and hit from behind -- both situations with a greater risk of a...
McClellin might be "another average LB" overall, but in terms of relative strengths and weaknesses, he has the athleticism and speed to cover RB's out of the backfield and and run with TE's on crossers and in the short-to-medium areas a high safety can't close on.
Without someone like that...
And this helps the Cowboys how? (Answer: not at all, and could hurt them down the road.)
Jerry Jones is to Robert Kraft as Rex Ryan is to Bill Belichik. For the life of me, I'll never understand why so many Pats fans who would never want BB to act more like Rex Ryan want Kraft to be more like...
Also, O.J. and Nicole Brown didn't meet in Buffalo, they met at a night club in Los Angeles, where he lived during the off-season. It really wouldn't have made a difference which NFL team he played for.
Your real culprit is who or whatever is responsible for O.J. attending USC, because it was...
Honestly, what exactly is the point of a post like this?
Your question clearly wasn't meant to be taken in good faith, because the answer is self-evident -- just counting myself, the OP of the thread, the guy who wrote the 538 article, his editor who signed off on it, and the academics whose...
Not true. You also have the statistics that show that, since 1925, as NFL teams ran less often per play, their average yards gained per play increased at a similar rate.
So far, no matter what the league average ratio has been, passing more has resulted in a more efficient offense. Obviously...
I'm not saying that it makes up the entire difference, I'm saying it exaggerates it.
And even if it didn't, the question remains whether reducing the likelihood of a turnover from ~2% to ~1% makes it worth it to call a play that more often than not REDUCES your team's chances of converting...
