My vote is Shanahan. At the point of Mahomes' 4th quarter interception, the #49ers had ran the ball 15 times for 117 yards - 7.8 yards per carry. They only ran it four more times for the rest of the game, and even then, Raheem Mostert averaged 7.3 per rush. Shanahan abandoned the run up 20-10. Why?
From yesterday afternoon.....
And now this.....
On 'Pardon My Take' this morning, Rappaport disputed the report that Robert Kraft made the call to trade Jimmy G.
Who's telling the truth here?
Add to that list of contending teams losing at home despite being heavily favored --- the Steelers losing the to the Jags last week, with Rothelisberger throwing 5 interceptions - including two pick-sixes. Not to mention, questions regarding Pittsburgh's locker room and their star players being...
The New England Patriots win ugly in Tampa: Puzzling over what to make of Bill Belichick's 3-2 team
Hard to say. The Patriots are currently 3-2 and are still trying to address questions on both sides of the ball.
On one hand, I'm encouraged by how the defense responded on a short week --...
Remarkable how the birth of one person 100 years ago in the Brooklyn ghetto could impact my life so much and the lives of so many sports fans! Thank you for everything, Red!
As long as I've known Brady, he's always had a possession receiver to make plays underneath and serve as that vital cog in the Patriots offense. That doesn't just include Wes Welker, but also Troy Brown and Deion Branch.
While the three remaining pure WRs (Hogan, Cooks, Dorsett) all can be...
Great piece from @AdamKilgoreWP on the NFL's O-line crisis and how it's leading to early offensive struggles
Analysis | The NFL has an offensive line crisis
Atrocious offensive line play, in many ways, harms the viewing experience more than terrible quarterback play. A cruddy quarterback...
These last few years have made me into a Amendola fan. An undrafted free agent who became 2x time champion and made incredible plays, Amendola represents an NFL success story. This past recent game shows exactly how important his presence has been.
With Edelman out and Gronk less than 100%, he...
Who says no to this trade: Eagles get Dion Lewis, Patriots get Mychal Kendricks?
Kendrick played just 23 snaps for today, and expressed he wanted a trade this offseason. Patriots meanwhile, need help at LB. With Burkhead, Gillislee, and White in the backfield, along with DJ Foster on the PS...

Patriots Injury Thoughts from Week 1
- re: Derek Rivers, Julian Edelman, and Cyrus Jones "I suspect the reason that ACL tears are so common in the NFL is that athletes are...
Unfortunate news. I hate the Colts franchise, but respect Luck for his class and professionalism. Wish him a speedy return to the field.
So does this mean Jacoby Brissett will get his chance to start?
NFL season offers a lot to look forward to - The Boston Globe
From Ben Volin's piece:
In Sunday’s Globe, Robert Kraft talked about Butler’s future with the team. “I still hope we get Malcolm done because I love Malcolm,” said Kraft, “but we need cooperation from the agent and the player both...
The loss of Edelman seems to have changed complexion of the Patriots offense. No matter how you spin it, a traditionally horizontal offense going heavy vertical is an adjustment that takes time.
There were so many more vertical throws from Brady than I'm accustomed to seeing. The stats...
Any predictions?
I say Cavs in 5.
I don't care if LeBron James is the best basketball player in the world. No. 1 seeds should NEVER be swept.
The Celtics have one of the best home courts in the NBA, and Brad Stevens is great at making adjustments. I'll be disapppointed if the Cs do not at...
Not all that surprising, but Golden State has done more to harm parity in the NBA than The Pats have in the NFL... way more. They literally signed a Top 3 player (KD) to a line up already responsible for winning 73 games last year!!!
Wizards play BOS at the Garden starting at 1pm today EST
Despite HFA favoring the Cs, John Wall has been on a absolute tear during the playoffs, while IT 3pt shooting has fallen and Crowder has been a no-show shooting wise (shooting well below his reg season shooting average).
I give the Cs...
