Passing off the tourch? Are Millennials too dumb to even use spellcheck?

Wait till the Pats play the Chiefs this season to post crap like that. The Pats beat the Chiefs @ Arrowhead last year en route to winning the Superbowl!

Brady just looked tired and discouraged. The rest of the Offense was not giving him a lot of help. And McDaniels didn't call his best game either. We're gonna have to pray that the return of Wynn and a fresh gameplan, and a better week of practice where maybe guys like Sanu, Harry and Meyers can get better in sync with the offense will help.

Then in that case I disagree...By the time Brady started his windup, Darby had closed the gap between Dorsett & him...Brady should've looked towards Dorsett and then thrown to Edelman, who had an easy 1st down waiting for him.

Rex was too far away from Brady and kind of floated the pass. the whole sequence was slow

"They don't have any speed," Ryan said on ESPN's "Get Up." "There's no threats. Their two best receivers are both slot receivers. In other words, they need to be off the ball to be effective.

"Why did they bring in Antonio Brown with a laundry list of things? Why? Because they needed a weapon. Why did they draft a guy in the first round? This team is short of talent and [Brady] knows it."

"They can't protect the quarterback, they can't run the football, but what they can do is play great defense."

And if anyone should know bad offense, it is Rex Ryan

There goes Wrecks, sticking his foot in his mouth...

yes indeed. maybe the sarcasm emoji was in order

Man what id give to get Allen back to do some blocking on offense.
With Develin our we need another stud to do the blocking.
Newhouse just doesn’t cut it.

Trent comeback baby!

You’re a homer. Ask and you shall receive.

Am I a homer as much as somebody that has watched the Patriots only get better not worse with each week heading into December?

EDIT: For those of you confused by this statement.

You can hold the belief that the Patriots will only get better as they go into December because:
a) You're a homer
b) You have 18 years of history that shows the Patriots only get better going into December.

Historically they have gotten better going into December. But that doesn't always mean they win the SB. There's going to come a day when the defense will struggle. The offense will need to win a shootout. I just have no faith they can do it against teams like KC or Baltimore. Cannon has struggled. Receivers can't get open. Nobody to block.

All of this has been said before about a different part of the team. I'm going with history. Belichick is not an idiot. Neither is Brady. Both still have their drive and will to win.

So like I said in another thread, lets talk about chemistry and weeks of practice together.

Gronkowski - Gone (in conversation of best TE of all time. Can his absence even be over-stated?)
Edelman - check (but had a serious/lingering rib injury for much of the year)
Dorcett - check (but what #WR does this guy have the talent to be? 2nd, 3rd?)
Watson - Was suspended for 4 games.
Sanu - Two weeks
Harry - One week
Gordon - Gone.
Brown - Gone.

Bedard's on the radio today. He just spent about 15 minutes defending Brady, and killing the offensive play around him.

3 up for Bedard:

1. Shelton
2. Gilmore
3. Mason

3 down for Bedard:

1. Karras
2. Newhouse
3. Wise (even with only 9 snaps)

And he said that Harry, like the rest of the WR corps was not getting open

Does he go into any details on Karras ?

A follow up on my previous post:

Bedard is laying most of the blame for the struggles with the screen game on Karras' and his lack of athleticism. He's not the only guy who's noted the OL struggles in terms of getting out in front of those blown screens, but he's the first I've seen to point to a specific member of the OL.

Addendum, in response to Luuk's question:

He noted in passing, while talking about Mason, that Cox took advantage of him during the game.

Bedard defending Brady again, this time about the throws.

Bedard's also very down on Wentz, saying he seems to be a much lesser QB since his return from injury

And, not surprisingly, Felger's sill insistent about being the same ******* that has me not listen to his show unless he's got a guest I want to hear.

Interestingly, Chatham put a lot of blame about the screen game on Brady. Saying many if them were actually set up well.

And Chatham is definitely not someone who makes it a sport to go after people. Thanks for putting Bedards thoughts here.
