    It's Official: The Broncos are now retroactively a trash team too

    Anything not to give the Patriots ANY credit for overcoming the best defenses in the AFC.

    Are we playing with house money?

    Like, how badly do we need this really? Is this season already a success regardless of what happens? Seems to me like we're not supposed to be here. Not from the league's standpoint, or from the team's preseason goals. This was supposed to be a year where the team got experience, learned how...

    Just to head off some potential stupidity from the other 31 fanbases: yes, Kayshon Boutte's one handed grab survived the ground.

    He catches it in his right hand, then secures it in his left. A small number of fans are making a fuss because Boutte's right hand moved, which means they think the ball moved and didn't survive the ground. That doesn't matter because the ball is not in his right hand when he hits the ground...

    OT: Cardinals fans on Reddit have hijacked r/azcardinals with actual photos of the bird.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/AZCardinals/ That's hilarious. I can't blame them either, that game was horrible, and we'd be in revolt too if our team had turned in an "effort" like this.

    Joe Milton at WR?

    If we're not gonna play him at QB, I kinda like the idea of Milton's potential in the WR position. I know some are already penciling him in as a TE but I'm not sure he quite has the physicality for that, he's got the size but I'm not sure he's got the mindset. but he definitely has the...

    What is your preferred offensive style?

    Not intended to do more than simply ask, if you had to pick an offensive identity for the Patriots, and talent wasn't an issue, what style do you prefer. Something more like the Rodgers/Manning style air game? A heavy smashmouth rushing attack with the QB playing second fiddle like we did in...

    The Patriots FO needs to avoid appeasing the fans.

    No big splash FA or trades. No spicy moves to entice the fanbase. Both will play against the goal of eventually winning the Superbowl. This year, and probably the next, are lost years. if we try to put a fig leave over them by signing mediocre free agents just to make a splash, they will...

    Should we consider drafting Joe Alt in the first round?

    Big thick tackle, fills a hole we need on the line, and would, at least in theory, make the job of any QB we happen to have much easier. Looking at this roster, and especially at the way Mac got hung out to dry, taking the best OL in the draft just feels like the sort of thing we need to be...

    Are we a quarterback away from being good?

    I'm skeptical of this. Not impressed with the OL. The defense can best be described as well coached, rather than talented. I think you can make an argument to trade down and spread out the draft value. I know those top QBs are tempting and sometimes QB can hide a lot of flaws but I'm not...

    Semi-OT: Tank Gate

    Hue Jackson has now joined Flores with his own allegations of being incentivized not to win https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/hue-jackson-suggests-browns-jimmy-haslam-paid-him-to-tank-during-his-time-with-cleveland/ Feel like this side if things should be broken away from the Flores megathread...

    My first "Sign the beast!" -- Zach Pascal

    Rumors that Pascal is hitting the market have me pricking my ears up like I normally don't do for a potential UFA I am irrationally high on Pascal. He's shown that he can be a decent WR3. No one would mistake him for Randy Moss but he's a good piece of a throwing attack. In Indianapolis...

    The good way outweighs the bad.

    We're in the division hunt. We're relevant. People aren't overlooking us anymore. The coaching staff looks solid and the talent is there. The adjusts that are needed seem reasonably manageable -- a bit more speed in the middle and perhaps another thick body on the defensive line. Hardly...

    Ekuale sack on Allen

    First time I've ever noticed this guy and that sack looked very good. Solid push-pull, good motion with the feet, good use of weight to get around the OL, good grip on the tackle. Made his opponent look silly 1 on 1, got home and made it stick against a QB who's tough to sack. I think this is...

    Jakob Johnson Appreciation Thread

    When Develin left I was legit worried that he'd be a tough act to follow. Develin was an amazing modern fullback and many of the highlights of guys like Legarritte Blout and Deion Lewis doubled as Develin highlights if you know what you're looking at. That said, Jakob Johnson has stepped into...

    Week 13 might be the biggest regular season game for the Patriots in decades

    Now obviously me saying this, I know that if we fail it doesn't change much, we're still big playoff contenders and could erase a manhandling by the Bills in the playoffs, but a win here could still be huge. Up to this point the games have been about fighting for the right to be considered...

    Do we know anything at all about Brian Belichick?

    Belichick's older son Steve is getting a bit of exposure now, and seems to be doing a decent job as a defensive coach. His brother, Brian, also now coaches for the Patriots but we know practically nothing about him other that when Steve moved to Linebackers coach,, Brian took Steve's old job as...

    Is anyone still worried about the Bills?

    The performance against the Colts is that of a team with no plan and no self belief. Frankly if that's the best they can do I think the Bills are in for a freefall to end the season. They just gave us the division by coming out super flat against the Colts and I don't think they're going to...

    Is it just me or was the OL better with the reserves on the field?

    I think we've got some starters that need to look over their shoulder. I noticed some really good work by Cajuste among others. With the poor showing we got in the first 4 games from the OL nobody should feel too safe if the reserves start stringing some strong games together.

    Kicking the 56 yard FG vs going for it on 4th and 3

    This is going to be its own discussion, might as well break it out now with a respectful title rather than one by another anguished fan who lets the suds choose his words for him. Frankly, neither going for it on 4th and 3 nor the field goal were in any way guaranteed to work. Bill took his...

    Just a little something I noticed about Mac10 -- he doesn't take garbage time for granted.

    So I was watching the game today and I mentioned this in chat but I want to break this out because it's a great sign for his intangibles. 4th quarter, up 3 scores, Mac has a couple bad possessions in a row. He's up 3 scores in the dying minutes of the game and is just ripping the straps off...
