Is it poor scouting? The offense being too tough to get? Not investing enough capital in it? Luck? All of the above? I mean I seem to remember a time when pats couldn't draft cornerbacks. Now anyone they pick up off the street looks elite. It just seems that teams draft elite talent every year...

alot of people want to look at just this year, but reality is that Bill has not drafted a pro-bowl player in the first round in a decade. thats crazy to think about. we look at this year being 2-9 and it didn't happen in a bubble. reality is the bad drafting started a WHILE ago and is why we are...

all offseason we heard from some fans that teams are dumb for paying receivers and how bill is smarter than the rest of the league when some fans pointed out how other teams went and got hill, aj brown, diggs etc... well last 2 games it's pretty evident we have no horses. no guys who can...

Maybe things will change, but this is NOT a good start so far. hasn't been on the field and when he has, no targets, hasn't gotten open. Demario Douglas is outperforming him as a 6th round rookie. I don't want to say he's a bust, but watching Pickens over at steelers i'm getting very N'keal...

Seems in most of these losses it's the same recipe. Conservative offense not going for it then get behind big. Then they start letting Mac throw the ball and run the hurry up and we get back in the game only for the defense to blow it. I get Mac is a rookie but he has shown the ability to get...

https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2021/11/23/julian-edelman-tom-brady-buccaneers/ Kinda shady that Brady tried to get Edelman to request a trade from the Pats. But that's alot of loyalty from Edelman to say no.

Makes sense. I doubt Bill wants to throw Mac Jones to the wolves his rookie year. He generally isn't that type of coach. Now, alot depends on how Cam Newton looks in training camp and OTAs. If he's more 2018 cam newton than he's no doubt the QB. But if he's the guy we saw last year I think Mac...

So, I think a large consensus from the media and fans is that Bill's moves this offseason point to one strategy. FIlling alot of holes in free agency because you intend to expend alot of draft capital move up in the draft and have a guy on a rookie contract. Its how the seahawks/chiefs won their...

This strikes me like the Seahawks. Once everyone's contract came up and you had to pay wilson the talent deteriorated and while the Seahawks still are a good team they aren't anywhere near the 2013 team. They paid Mahomes, hill and kelce. And pretty soon Mahomes will have a 45million cap hit...

Typical Jets to not know what to do with the QB position yet.

Don't see too many people mention him as an option. But he looked pretty good in one game for the raiders. Has legs like cam newton but has a better arm and is younger. And shouldn't be too expensive. If he works out with the Patriots could be a decent bridge while they draft a guy Honestly...

part of the reason for the supposed-decline in cam the last 2 years is injuries. in 2018 he was playing well 1st half of the year then injured his shoulder. Then 2019 injured his foot...The guy like many other running QB's took alot of unnecessary hits. I wonder if Bill will try and change his...

This wasnt against cincinatti, this was against a VERY good Bills defense. #2 in the league. The patriots looked the best that they ever have offensively this year. They controlled the line of scrimmage, ran the ball hard. Put themselves into 3rd and 4 or 5 instead of 3rd and longs. had 8...

Welcome back, I don't think ive been as excited about a player replacing someone else than seeing Wynn back at left tackle and newhouse going back to where he belongs on the bench. Hopefully brady can have more time now to throw the ball. Wynn looked great in week 1.

Pretty surprising looking back that bill somehow viewed more value in Lacosse/Izzo and we almost lost this guy for nothing. Already looks like our best tight end. Take away the drop and he had a nice catch on 3rd down and 4th down and was solid in blocking on one of sony's touchdown runs...

Hopefully Goodell is happy with his refs that we dont have this matchup because of one of the most blantant ref screw-ups in NFL history. As a Patriots fan, I would rather face goff than brees....but as a football fan that would be an entertaining matchup. Both guys 40+, both the best at...

This is a thread to examine the Eagles/Patriots matchup in two weeks and the Eagles strengths/weakness' and how the patriots can beat them. I will admit I havent watched many eagles games this year (despite wentz being on my fantasy team) What is it that atlanta did to hold the eagles to 15...

we have threads for Amendola/Gilmore rightly. but how about brandin cooks? he sneakily had a really good game. 6 catches on 8 targets for 100 yards. and drew two huge pass interference penalties he generated 168 yards total in offense. and that is against two great corners. with Gronk out when...

All we keep hearing about the jaguars from the media is how strong their front 4 is and their Cornerbacks. But what I havent heard discussed much is how their linebackers/safeties are in coverage. Miami exposed that if you play tough man on Cooks, you can effectively limit him. And i cant...
