I disagree. Part of sports is bonding with the players from afar. Maybe it's different for me as Brady and I are pretty much the same age, but I'd hate to see him anywhere else. I'd rather see a terrible last season with the Pats than watch him go to the Rams and have two Pro Bowl seasons. As...

That's actually really smart. With the slotted rookie deals you really don't need an agent to negotiate your contract. Waste of of money. At least the pure salary component. Workout, pro bowl bonuses, etc are a different story. But really the NFLPA should be able to provide rookies with basic...

What? You don't think spending a third round pick on a third-string QB is good value?

I'd love to see them get a similar small fast guy like Lewis considering the injury risk to him and the fact that the offense was much more effective with an above average player in that role. I think they desperately need to upgrade from Cannon at swing tackle. His extension was up there with...

I really want to like this signing. But these two bits really pop out of this recap: Film review: Hogan versatility should mesh with Patriots Sounds like a combo of the worst of Llyod and Lafell. Hopeful drops are anomalous but the lack of RAC is what is most troubling. Seems like he is a a...

Pretty damning that they only ran one swing pass all game to counteract rush. As people said though, players need to execute. The OL was just not up to task. I'd actually like to see more rushing attempts in thee games where pass rush is insane. I mean at least a shovel. Anything to try to...

This was my experience in 2011. It was really easy to get them. I had been in contact with a broker and just showed up and we got decent nosebleed seats for about $1200 each. My guess would be in the Bay Area where there is a lot of money tickets will be expensive this year. Plus, if Seattle...

What sucks is if steelers come in as 6 seed pats might have to play best playoff team in their first game. I'm rooting for Denver. I'd rather Pitt miss the playoffs. Really sucks that #4 seed afc champ will be worst team if they win and Pitt as 6 seed win. Would be only consolation being the 2...

I'm not as worried about Watt as everyone else. It seems whenever the Pats face these team's with one premier pass rusher (Suh, Watts, Mario Williams, Miller) they scheme them out of the game. BB simply won't allow them to take over and will force the other defenders to make one-on-one plays...

This x100. Yes, they have the best QB ever, but they need to run more to reduce hits and wear & tear on Brady. Even if statistically its less efficient, they can't keep getting into 3&10 or worse with Brady getting smashed. Kind of disappointing to see zero scheme or game plan adjustments once...

I'd go back to the previous play. Had White simply made a strong attempt for the goal line or had he managed just one more step after a DB two-hand-touched him from behind, the entire hurry up play and subsequent pick-6 never happen. Faulk, Woodhead, Vereen, Lewis, and - dare I say - Bolden...

I don't think you could open it up to everything is reviewable in the sense that you throw a challenge because refs missed holding and they go back to review. I think the reviews could only be to pick up a flag. But the problem then becomes refs will now just throw more flags and err(or) on the...

I think it's more a lack of commitment to a run game and how it is called. But certainly without Lewis the running game has lost a big dimension.

It would be the classic BB Out-of-Nowhere WTF?! Acquisition that contributes down the stretch run. We haven't had our 2015 version of that yet. :)

This is a VERY good observation. When it's a run-based game plan and/or they are salting away a big lead, he runs way different than when they are in the midst of a Josh Pass-a-Thon and he just gets a few tokin' (couldn't help it) carries. He definitely seems to with a different energy when he...

Well, with Harper cut that solves the roster spot issue. Even when Gronk is back, I'd much rather see Fauria taking Chandler's red zone snaps. He's got great hands and a knack for finding the ball.

Yup. Ditto. I'll trade the loss for a Gronk every time. Pats with Gronk and #2 seed can win the SB. Pats without Gronk and #1 seed I'm not sure.

Probably needs a few more weeks in the playbook unless they use him exclusively in red zone. Depends on Williams as well like you said. If Williams is out I think he plays next week for sure.

Well this article was great to read. Hopefully he's just out for 3-4 games and will be back if needed in Week 16 or 17 to help secure a #1 seed.

Well, if they didn't go 16-0 this would be the game to trip them up and it did. Not an end of the world loss, but everyone bemoaning the refs, yeah they sucked, but good teams overcome bad calls. Never an excuse. The muff was obviously huge. A combo of poor play and as others said coaches maybe...
