This argument is littered with strawmans, bias confirmation, and cherry picking. I can't say I agreed with a single thing you wrote here. If you don't see the shortcomings of the pts allowed stat then I just feel bad for you. You really come across as a sad Patriot homer saying things like our...

This isn't true and you obviously won't find any proof to back up this claim. It is an important stat, I was just pointing out it's main flaw (and yes, it is a big one). This isn't to say yards allowed isn't a flawed stat either, it definitely is. I just can't stand fans who fall back on this...

He became the first CB in NFL history to allow over 1,000 yards receiving to the receivers he covered in '11. There are many ways to define a CB, but that is a key one, and in that particular area he was the worst. Thanks that my other analysis was spot on :rocker:. I know the Jets...

Pts per game is one of the most flawed stats there is. Of course Pats fans run to it because it's the only stat that makes your defense look at best, average. Points per game penalizes your defense for special teams and offensive turnovers resulting in points, something the Jets unfortunately...

It would take a lot to get him canned this year (think '11 locker room blow up + not even finishing at .500). I do think if they don't make the playoffs Tannenbaum will be out the door.

Also to reply to this thread, I loved the Pats first round picks. Hightower more so than Jones. I think Hightower will be a tremendous ILB and was hoping we'd trade down and grab him and pair him with Harris in the middle. He's the quintessential Belichick player; versatile and extremely...

This couldn't be further from the truth. The defense was plenty good last year, just not at the level we're used to seeing under Rex. Being the 5th rated defense is hardly an indictment of a defense that isn't good. On top of that, our DL was actually pretty good last year. Our linebackers are...

Hate the move on so many levels. The Jets have had some head scratching moves over the last couple years, but I at least saw the logic behind it. I really don't see the logic here since he was anointed the #2 QB. I thought MAYBE they would turn him into a full time H-Back of some sort, but...

It amazes me comments like these get under opposing fans skin. He congratulated Mario in the beginning of the tweet. Brick is also one of the most humble players in the league. Are you that mad?

Agree on point 1. Point 2 is subjective. Plenty of stats that show he's in that range, plenty that show he's in the bottom 10. With his postseason play and having 32 TDs last year despite terrible o-line and receivers play, you can make the case he's in that range. We're splitting hairs at that...

Yup spot on. It was the biggest window dressing extension ever. He got a $2.75 million guaranteed raise. Those last 3 years are not guaranteed at all. He has 1 year to prove himself or he'll be cut in 2013 with minimal cap hit. If he somehow turns out to be average to slightly above average QB...

Pretty much about my team. Can I say the same about your defense though?

Lol no. His cap hit for 2012 is not $5 million. It's around $1.5 million. They still have about $13-14 mil in cap space excluding rookies and a reserve fund for rookies.

This is true but using this stat shows you have a poor grasp of it. Of course Pats fans flock to it cause it's about the only stat that shows you have somewhat of a below average defense, compared to just about every other stat that ranks you dead last. The stat takes into account the amount...

Most of what you said is spot on except ripping the defense and them rebuilding. They finished in the top 5 in most defensive categories last year despite having little 'star talent' outside of Revis and to some extent Harris. Our safeties sucked last year, and so did our OLB, yet our defense...

hahaha i actually laughed out loud at this. Well done.

I've seen other fans claim the same thing. Guess it depends if you see gaining a competitive unfair advantage worse than trying to injure someone and knock them out of the game. I personally don't, but see it both ways.

Haha. We have a good owner. Not as good as Kraft, but he hasn't held the team back from doing anything. Tanny had a terrible year, but his previous track record is pretty solid, so he gets 1 more year in my opinion before he's on the hot seat. Rex's record in 3 seasons: 32-22...he's not going...

They definitely were this season, no doubt about that.

ahhhhhh Joker, my favorite poster. How's it going buddy?
