They do and McDaniels has been sort of saving them in the pass game.

Both have superb hands Hendo 83% catch rate and Rahm 86% catch rate. Both have about the same number of targets with 42 for Hendo and 37 for Rahm.

And now for the rest of the story... Paul Harvey

2019 Teddy Bridgewater who is about as much as a back up as I am only the opposite, he was good.
2020 Taysom Hill - Ok, let's take that comparison.

Below are the teams they beat and lost to and their final records at the end of each line. Yea, this Tweet added absolutely nothing to the conversation. Bridgewater beat one team in the realm of the Pats and they went 7-1 against basically the following years top ten draft pickers.

2019: Teddy Bridgewater (5–0)
Following a thumb injury to Drew Brees in Week 2, Teddy Bridgewater started five games and won all of them:
  • Week 3: at Seattle Seahawks (W, 33–27) 11-5
  • Week 4: vs. Dallas Cowboys (W, 12–10) 8-8
  • Week 5: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (W, 31–24) 7-9
  • Week 6: at Jacksonville Jaguars (W, 13–6)6-10
  • Week 7: at Chicago Bears (W, 36–25) 8-8
2020: Taysom Hill (3–1)
When Drew Brees suffered rib injuries in 2020, Taysom Hill was named the starter over Jameis Winston for four games, going 3–1:
  • Week 11: vs. Atlanta Falcons (W, 24–9) 4-12
  • Week 12: at Denver Broncos (W, 31–3) 5-11
  • Week 13: at Atlanta Falcons (W, 21–16)4-12
  • Week 14: at Philadelphia Eagles (L, 21–24)4-11

If so, that works in our favor. Negates their 4th quarter advantage.

Just walked the dog about 30-minutes ago. It's ****ing cold. Definitely need to cover up exposed skin. Will need to find my gloves.

Unless the Pats win today then they all suck and the Pats still haven’t beaten anyone good.

What's not in that image, the Broncos aren't great at running the ball and the Pats are great at stopping the run. Broncos are going to be one dimensional, which as long as you trust our DBs, allows us to bring extra pressure with the blitz.

20th In running the ball... Isn't an elite offensive line supposed to be top 5 in running the ball?...

The Broncos haven't seen interior rushers like we have... Barmore, Williams and Tonga along with Durden have been dominant.. we also have the secondary that can cover and some dam good LBs..

Ellis is a player and can hit... we also use a nice rotation along the Defensive line..to keep guys fresh...

When Dobbins went down that was a major blow. He was on a 1300yd pace. They've been able to manage but since he went down they are ave 100yds a game on the ground and 3.7 ypc.

Stiddy can run a little but not in the same class as Nix. That is another issue for DEN.
 
This feels like a 23-13 game. No way Pats are losing this game

BTW- I would like to file this with my mediot gripes of the week.

I have YET to hear or see any mediot who have taunted us with the "weakest schedule" trope this entire ****ing season, mention, even ONCE, that Dever had the SECOND weakest schedule this season. (and that includes getting a week off in the playoffs) I mean you'd think one of our guys would have at least mentioned it in passing. Literally, it was only a few percentage points difference.

I'm still holding out hope that one of the pre-game shows might mention it, or one our guys will bring it up when some National guy inevitably brings it up over the next 22 hours. Hoping sure, but definitely not expecting any media fairness.

Not just 2nd weakest this year - 7th weakest schedule all time. Yes, we're 3rd but the lack of mentioning that feels like such an oversight in service of headlines.

That's BS. Bonito is NOT Anderson, he isn't even close to Anderson, especially the last month of the season, which happens to be the Month we are playing them in.

Yes you DO help him just like you would against any quality rusher, but you DO NOT drop everything you normally do in order to help Campbell at the expense of running an effective diverse offense. It is not necessary against Bonito because HIS strengths align with Campbell's strength unlike they did with Anderson.

Ok give him the first few offensive drives. If he struggles, give him help. You cannot risk a fumbled TD or something. Chasing the game in that environment is a recipe for disaster. See: 2015.
