In theory CBS is supposed to offer free streaming from their web site. But when I tried it for the divisionals, it had fairly poor resolution (standard at best). NBC, by contrast, offered an HD stream in their app. I couldn't get the stream from the CBS app actually to work at all, just from the...

Is there clear statistical evidence showing how the altitude in Denver hurts visiting NFL teams? Is there any technique that has been successful in countering that effect?

I'm perplexed by the animus that Joey Porter's being on the field during an injury timeout appears to have evoked. In the history of the NFL, can anyone point to a single instance in which a coach was flagged for being on the field during an injury timeout? To my knowledge, it's never happened...

We have been told that Edelman's bone injury will heal in time for the playoffs, the implication being that Edelman would then be ready to play for the playoffs. But even assuming Edelman's broken bone does heal, how do we know the muscles he uses to support that bone will be strong enough to...

Two of the most obvious errors in the scientific analysis in the Wells report are (1) the failure to show that McNally had sufficient time to deflate the 12 footballs, and (2) the failure to explain the choice of gauge. Did the Brady's team try and depose any of the creators of this analysis to...

How common is it for the winning team to drop ten passes? How about for the Patriots? (And is there a site that can answer these kinds of questions?)

Many of the Patriots stars were very low draft picks or undrafted: Brady, Edelman, Butler. Lewis seemed to be also fairly unwanted by most teams, but he is not quite a star. Are there other teams, now or even in the past, that have relied to such an extent on almost "cast offs"? I think the...

Could the Patriots acquire a new offensive lineman (even a left tackle) this season, or would it take too long for someone new to learn the Patriots' system? If the Pats could acquire a new offensive linesman, how much does the loss of their first round draft pick hurt them in the trade? My...

Does anyone know of another play like the Edelman juke play? A player where a receiver jukes a cornerback (a) right off the line of scrimmage (b) without contact (c) so badly that the cornerback falls down...

I'm concerned Brady was hurt on the Hardy tackle. The reasons for my concern are these: The tackle looked like it would injure a player, particularly a 38 year old man. I don't think Brady did much after the play. I heard tension in Brady's voice in post-game interviews, a tension that is often...

Just to be clear, I have no doubt of Brady's innocence in all this. That said, there are three moves by the Patriots' or Brady's attorneys that still bother me and that I cannot make sense of. (1) Yee claimed that Brady did not divulge his personal texts because doing so would create a...

For some reason Brady's agent, Yee, seems to be the one defending Brady legally, right? He is making public comments about the Deflategate investigation, and I heard he was apparently the only one "taking notes" during the interrogations of Brady. Also, I have heard he made the argument to the...

Here's the Player's Tribune article. Even after all this time there are new insights in the play, namely that Butler knew Lockette was going inside because his first step was outside. Just generally an interesting article.

I'm pessimistic about the outcome of this report, for several reasons. - Having had considerable physics training, it is obvious to me that there is no evidence of impropriety by the Patriots whatsoever. Despite that, much of the media took the allegations seriously, some scientists took them...

In the very top right corner of the forum home page, there is a small dark blue area, about 1/2 '' square. Oddly, there's no ad there. It's just static: it's quiet and not disrupting my browser.

Starting today the forum jumps around when viewed in safari ipad ios7. I mean, the screen contents suddenly scroll quickly up or down a few times for a second or so after a new page is loaded. Very hard to use this way. Consider testing on ipad.

Why did the Pats have so much trouble starting 2014? And what changed?

As we watch the familiar specter of great, well-loved players who have contributed so much to the team forced or choosing to leave because of the salary cap, I am surprised that more hasn't been made about one of the greatest unfairnesses of the salary cap: Pats players have to play in a lot...

I'm honestly confused as to why these free agents make such a big deal about these increments to their salary well beyond what they could possibly need, want, or spend. The whole point of making a lot of money is mainly to have a good life for yourself and your family, and I can't believe their...

Does someone have a list of players and plays in the last several years who have done that fake slant spin move Edelman used twice in the SB. I'm curious whether any other receivers do it as well. Did Welker use it? Who can defend it?
