Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I am thankful for everyone's participation in these threads! I have been rather busy with family these last couple weeks, so I will need to catch up on the re-watching. I will link to some sources to get us started on film-based discussion and...

Welcome to the latest re-watch thread for film-based discussion and play breakdowns. I will start off with some helpful sources to get us started until the all-22 comes out: r/Patriots Gifs r/NFL highlights As much as possible, try to keep observations supported by particular plays. If you...

I found nice scouting report on Jimmy Garoppolo with GIF examples. This is done by an amateur scout, but (IMO) it accurately captures some of the reasons so many projected him as an above average starter and potential future star. Frog's GIF Breakdowns: QB Jimmy Garoppolo • r/49ers I think he...

Dungy: Irsay said Luck injury 'inside his head' Nice way to alienate your franchise QB. What an owner. -------------- Edit 1: The level of incompetence of the Colts is comical. Yet Colts' handling of the Luck situation is also tragic. There is even talk that Luck might retire...

A number of us have been recommending this podcast from former Patriots insider Michael Lombardi. It is a review of current league trends and a critique of various NFL management and coaching styles. This latest episode was so excellent I thought it was thread-worthy: A couple of things that...

I am kicking off the Re-watch thread, our weekly place for film based discussion and play breakdowns. Below are a couple of sources of tape until the all 22's come out: You might be able to find a highlight of a particular play on the r/nfl highlight page: Picture/GIF/Video highlights thread...

Lets start a preview thread in a similar spirit as our post game film review threads. It might be a fun place to look at the upcoming team's tape, game summaries, scheme, statistical rankings, potential match-ups, etc. It might be nice to stay away from low effort posts like "TODD BOWLES MORE...

So I thought I would kick off the rewatch thread, our weekly thread centered on film based discussion and tape breakdowns. Below are a couple of sources of tape until the all 22's come out. You might be able to find a clip of play you are looking for on r/nfls highlight page...

I wanted to test a youtube link I made before posting in another thread.

I feel the Patriots innovative and mutable offense during Belichick's tenure is deeply tied to the Erhardt-Perkins offensive system. You can read more about this EP system in this article. Speak My Language The tldr: The Patriots use a simplified terminology for their route calling. This...

The NFL claims to be concerned about player safety. In response to growing evidence about the long-term dangers of head-trauma, the NFL has instituted third party neurological reviews for player concussions that can force players to miss playing time. More generally, the NFL claims to be...

Considering giving up on watching NFL games, ... but I just love this team too much. I am so frustrated. The level of bias in the refs was amazing.

I cannot take the credit for making these but they are impressive. http://www.reddit.com/r/Patriots/comments/2gmgb2/made_a_few_gifs_from_sundays_defensive_performance/ Enjoy!

I noticed at least 4 kickoffs in that game where the returner caught the ball deep in the endzone and ran the ball out to around the 14. I think that this does not make sense strategically, but it happened so much I wonder if it was couched. Wouldn't teams rather have the ball consistently at...

Why would Belichick have Brady play on a PAT?

Hey everyone. I have been a lurker since the Butt Fumble but I made this account because I wanted to here your opinions on this question: On my way home from the last preseason game an analysis on the radio made an argument for the Pats would keep Mallet, even if Grop outplays him for the final...

Hey Pats Fans! I have been lurking on this site for a while, as I find many of the posts insightful. I made an account so I could ask this forum questions and throw in my 2 cents from time to time.
