I don't remember Fourier Series lol. I think he's questfor7homie (every time I accuse him of this he doesn't respond). My thinking is someone with the name Fourier Series (a mathematical expression) would seem a lot smarter. Stairwayto7 doesn't even know how many Lombardi trophies we have as shown by his signature pic...

Multiple accounts & doesn't know what he's talking abt in any of them. He ran away after losing a bet to me for $2000 as well in May/Mac fight.

Ryan Tannehill is playing currently the best quarterback in the AFC not named Mahomes, Jackson or Watson. The Patriots defense failed against all three of them and they face a signal caller who's put as good or better #s than Mahomes and Watson in several instances. Let's not forget, Tannehill had a perfect QB rating last season vs the Patriots eventual super bowl winning defense...
Im not feeling a 17 point effort from the Boogeymen...
Rain in forecast for Sat night...last rain game the Patriots mustered a meager 13 points vs an inferior team to Tennessee

No doubting Tanney's here and there potential in the past (against the Patriots) and the more general consistent demo this year. But this is the playoffs, the big show. For almost all teams in the playoffs -- occasional weak outlier not withstanding -- they are here because they know how to win games.
IMHO 'they can do this' or 'they've done that' is factory default for the playoffs. And it probably only gets more difficult after Tenn. So if the Patriots can't figure out Tenn/Tanney (despite his past NE success) then they didn't have a higher playoff gear to shift to and were playoff DOA to begin with. So bring on Tenn/Tanney and let's see if the Patriots have a higher gear they can shift to.

LJ scored a 13 on his Wonderlic. If we go by the Wonderlic x 5 rule to derive an IQ then his IQ is an 86.

So if that means a IQ of 86
leads to a league MVP and gross 4300yds and 43 TDs sign me up!

I mean who cares about his alleged IQ ? He is not there to run some Mensa meetings but play a sport professionally.

Even if lets say for the sake of argument he is a slow learner it doesn't matter too much because it is literally the only thing he needs to do. If you are surrounded by football all day, taking hundreds of reps that are mental and physical you will understand what you are looking for and how to apply it. He clearly has the physical talent to a certain degree.

Instead of checking for the IQ they should try to quantify how well people are able to recall information or what they are supposed to do in various situations under intense pressure. Because that is where for many QBs everything falls apart and they start to instinctively do the wrong thing.

He’s a competitor. I love that.

Dion was good here but I’m kind of meh on him now.

You can be a competitor and not rub a loss in your opponent's face

Was he? I don’t remember him saying a lot but I thought the Philly Special play was rubbing it in a bit

I was ok w the Philly special. He was an ass at the presser. Just a gloating prick

They did TC together so clearly BB didn't have an issue w it

I've always been of the opinion that interest is a much higher factor to intelligence than people want to give it credit for. Obviously there are differences in aptitude person to person (sometimes vast), but in general, the biggest difference between someone who is a "genius" at something and someone who knows nothing, is the genius LOVES that thing. Someone who loves math is going to focus more on it when exposed to it, seek out new challenges within it, study math in their spare time, etc. Same with football. I'm sure Jackson would be rubbish at a subject most people associate with being "smart" but if he loves football, the parts of it he needs to learn are going to stick. I think that's evident in how he's playing.

There's a few people on here with alts, *cough* PatriotNumero136NYCGatorPimp.

Jokes aside I'm kinda jealous these people have the time to create so many accounts and some have a fair amount of posts.

I don't think the 5X rule is accurate (unless I'm missing something)...Ryan Fitzpatrick got a wonderlic of 48 and can't possibly gave an IQ of 240 or so...

I'm always optimistic with these reports, but we probably would hear this whether it's true or not. You want the Titans to at least start the game by having to respect Edelman at 100%. He might be getting better, and I always expect him (injury or no) to compete as hard as he possibly can. I'm just going to take what they say publicly with a grain of salt.

I am sure Vrabel and the Titans D will bracket Edelman and make sure to tag him on every reception. Maybe one of these days Sanu will get off the Inactive list in Game.

Maybe this game start with JE11 on the outside to move the coverage over and lets see what Sanu can do in the slot. We can't let them clog the middle.

Hey mods, what's a polite way of telling someone their opinions are uncritical and lack any substance or thought, without being a rude assh*le?

Asking for a friend.

Oh I didn't see that. I guess it's not really a 5X rule then.

Brady and Edelman are aging and their bodies have significant wear and tear. Both are warriors though, and we will soon see what they have left. I have seen too much to bet against them.

Yea based on a 48 its more like a ~3x so for Fitzmagic his IQ is around 150 which I would not doubt as he scored a 1580 on his SATs
