Here's a challenge for everyone. Tom Brady has played in 10 Super Bowls. Without looking, can you sort each of the ten opposing QBs in the order of passer rating earned during the game? I gave it a shot and I was very surprised in a few places, even though I got 6 out of 10 right. The opposing...

Unless I missed it, there's no thread to this signing which has been in the works for a while. 1 year, up to $6 Million. https://sports.yahoo.com/report-former-cowboys-rb-ezekiel-elliott-to-sign-1-year-deal-with-new-england-patriots-204440653.html

Bill's been here long enough, and has been particularly successful with finding talented UDFAs, that I believe you could construct an entire functional roster with only UDFA finds. Going through the history, here is the best roster of players that I could construct composed strictly of players...

I noticed that Mac's rankings by different metrics all seem to consistently converge on the 12-14 range. I wonder what it'd be like if we were able to get it from just the most recent half of the season after the OL got settled. Passer Rating: 13th (between Carr and Herbert) EPA: 13th (between...

There really are QB needy franchises and GMs of such teams who missed out on drafting the following players: 2017 Mahomes and Watson (8 and 10) 2018 Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson (7 and 32) 2020 Justin Herbert (6), throw in Jalen Hurts 2nd round if you're so inclined. 2021 Mac Jones (15) Fans...

The PFF Position Ranks that flashed under the player intros last night were so ridiculous I had to go back and capture them. For every one that seems halfway accurate there's at least that many howlers. Good to know that Matthew Judon is by far our worst LB and Deatrich Wise is our best...

I'm a (completely terrible) disc golf player who follows that sport as well. A video popped up today showing Tedy, looking great, playing a few holes of disc golf with one of the top current players. If you're wondering what he's up to, he's playing disc golf and learning guitar, apparently.

If so, welcome to the Pats... Brenden White

For an experiment, I'd like to have a mock draft where I follow the consensus on this board. I will run a 7 round mock using Pro Football Network's Mock Draft Simulator (profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/), and I will follow whatever course of action is agreed upon by the first three people to...

I wanted to highlight a few recent good articles from Football Outsiders on the Pats as they've taken notice of improved play. Film Room: Patriots Passing Game Notes what's working in the past three productive games, play action and the run game. Any Given Sunday: Patriots over Ravens Blow by...

I wanted to take a look at what the team might look like going forward, at least to 2021. According to Spotrac, the Pats have $67.99 mil in cap space in 2021, which is 4th most in the league. Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything I say as I'm no cap/transactions expert. 2021 Roster The 43...

I didn't see anyone start this thread, but just wanted to post Word of Muth's column where he illustrates how the thrown together offensive line played pretty damn well in defeat.

Given how the draft process has been disrupted this year, I wonder if there will be any unique strategies that you wouldn't see in a typical year. For example, there are some players who won't have the usual round of Pro Days and medical checkups and face to face meetings, and will be viewed...

Pro Football Ref has a metric called AV, or Approximate Value, a score which they assign to every player every season. While not perfect, it's a decent way to measure who is getting playing time and production. They just input everyone's AV for the 2019 regular season. I've used this score to...

If the playoffs were to start today, the teams would be AFC: Pats, Ravens, Steelers, Texans, Bills, Chiefs NFC: Niners, Saints, Vikings, Packers, Seahawks, Cowboys That means that of the last nine teams that Pats have played in the playoffs, only TWO would make the playoffs this year. 2017-18...

With the Pats D so overwhelming so far, what kind of offense would you try to put together to attack it? Presume that you can get good to above average players to play any style of offense, but that you're not going to get a team full of all-stars. Just thinking about style and philosophy...

I was rewatching the Redskins game, and in the 2nd quarter as the Pats were at a 2nd and 10 and approaching the Red Zone, Josh McD dialed up a play. I think if I describe it to you, you'll recognize it. It was a play action fake end around screen. Fake to the RB up the gut, fake again to an end...

Anyone care to guess?

Just wondering how well people think the Colts will do without Luck. They've gotten general praise for team building and coaching last year and seemed to be building in the right way. But how will they weather this loss? How well do we think Jacoby will do? How well do they want to do this year?

Lazar's Patriots Training Camp Recap: Thoughts On All 88 Participants | CLNS Media Good capsule entry on the status of every player, even forgotten ones like Martez Ivey. He weirdly undersells Duron Harmon's entire career, but other than that I found everything fair and informative.
