Can't both be true (poor coaching and poor play)? I'm not saying that Jones would have been All-Pro, but he clearly was promising as a rookie. Since then he has cleary regressed and the team has continued to worsen for three years (or more). It isn't just the offense. The entire operation has...

From best I can tell on-line, Irsay had his hip surgery in about May 2013 and was pulled over in about March 2014. A long time to need narcotics for pain related to a surgery..... The only plausible explanation would be if he had a second hip surgery, but I can find no mention of this.

I think one of our problems in run defense is that Hightower is done. He has always been a little slow given his size (while providing many other great attributes) but he is now noticeably slower. I haven't seen him make many plays this year, and think this year will be his last. Love him...

So here we go again. Different people have different pre-concieved notions and then fit the facts (or question the facts as best we know them) to fit that narrative. Votes for team captains on all teams are, for obvious reasons, anonymous. So on a team of 53, how would any one player know...

There is a nerve that runs beneath and just on the inside of each of your ribs. An injection like this looks to temporarily deaden the nerve and thereby relieve the pain caused by bending cracked ribs. If you poke too far while trying to deaden the nerve you hit lung tissue and make a hole.

Look, no one is claiming that Cam is perfect or hasn't made mistakes both on and off the field. I personally think he kinda choked in the Super Bowl. But we're talking about whether the level of scrutiny is the same for him as it is for other players like him based upon color, especially ten...

Certainly offensively the Panther offense was inferior compared to most Super Bowl contending teams. If you think Ted Ginn as the #1 receiver was not inferior, we disagree. And their offensive line was average. Despite the personnel, the Panthers averaged 31 points a game and had offensive 54...

Newton just came into the NFL at the wrong time. A few months ago I was listening to Felger and Mazz and Felger said one thing that was correct and then followed it up with one thing that wasn't. First, he stated that Newton will forever be labeled as a "quitter" for not jumping on the fumble...

I explain it by pointing out that it's a common happening. In poker it's referred to as being "pot committed". When you have invested a great deal in winning at a certain moment in time and your investment doesn't look likely to pay off, many gamblers/coaches will increase their investment. So...

So your take is that Belichick, the coldest mofo in the universe, is more likely to act "out of desperation" than other teams would (Texans, Packers, Saints, etc.), teams who rarely ever catch a whiff of the Super Bowl, if for example one of their featured wide outs was injured? Michael Thomas...

You may be correct, but I know of at least one team, just last year, that was willing to pay a second round pick for Mohammed Sanu, a far lesser player than Edelman....

This year greater depth on the practice squad at the receiver position, especially at the slot, may be worthy of consideration. Suppose Stidham starts and is shaky for six games and the Pats go 2-4. Then he/Belichick rights the ship, the team begins to turn it around, but due to the schedule as...

Bill Belichick rebuilds Patriots with NFL's new offenses in mind better a day early than a day late....

I agree with you that he has the physicality and range to play deep, but aside from occasionally dropping deep to confuse the offense, I think they want him closer to the line of scrimmage. Especially early on, I think he will be rushing the QB more often than playing FS. I think that is why...
