There may have been threads on this before, but partly in response to Charles Barkley about whether we appreciate, what insane Pats (and/or Brady) stats do you have? Here are a few: Since 2001, the Patriots are *averaging* more than 12 wins per year. (Give a little credit to Peyton -- in...

I do not want to have to deal with this guy for the next 15 years. Yes, he made some mistakes (and our D induced some), and some players peak in their 1st or 2nd year. But if this is where he is 1/2 way into his rookie year, there's a lot of upside. Compare Joey Harrington, Eric Couch...

I'm *almost* feeling sorry for the players and fans, but then I think about Irsay and Polian and I get over that feeling.

We can usually count on the Pats being smart about the clock, but the Pats pace in the second half, and especially the 4th quarter was strange. Almost like Philly in SB 39. Because you get a possession and then the other team does, you have to look at the game as a series of back-and-forth...

A few similarities: 1. a bending defense that gives up a lot of yards, but seems to not give up as many points as you think they would 2. an offense that looks out of sync for extended periods and then gets key drives when they matter and does enough to win 3. a new defense that...

I find draft grades right after a draft to make no sense. Who knows what will happen. So I suggest we greade the team on 2005, where players have had 3 years: 1 32(32) Logan Mankins OG FRESNO STATE 3 20(84) Ellis Hobbs DB IOWA STATE 3 36(100) Nick Kaczur OT TOLEDO 4 32(133) James...

I had always been in the camp that said that Maroney was fine, he was just not needed when the passing game was humming, and the offense was not tailored to him. When the Pats make more of a focus, he succeeds. I really like him on kickoffs, too. One question for others ... is he really...

I know this might have been posted already, but I looked over the numbers from 2001-2007. This year's 4.0 ypc is second highest -- 2004 was 4.1 This year's 28.6 attempts per game is 5th highest in the 7 years, but 2 of the higher years were within 1 attempt per game. This year's 12th...

I think the worst thing the Pats can do is change their approach to try to rub it in or humiliate the Jets. Just play the game, and let's walk out with a solid 40-10 kind of win. I do not think they will do much different -- maybe a few little things -- but I hear crazy talk in the media...

New Orleans against Atlanta. Ugh! You can see how that looked pretty good 6 months ago, but now? Can't wait to see what theme Kornheiser will harp on (and on and on and on) for this game. I guess we could use more Michael Vick talk.

What Pats-are-crazy-good stats do you like best or find most ridiculkous or amusing? How about these: The Pats point differential is greater than the point differential for every other team -- and is greater even if you subtract the spread for all 10 games. Current point spread for...

If you're tired of Colts, Colts, Colts, and the bye week, here's a little diversion. Celts are 6-0 now, only undefeated team, and beats on Indiana basketball -- the #1 sport of the Hoosier state.

I know there are more knowledegable people on this board than me -- I am interested in this: How much difference does the (legitimate) crowd noise make? I suspect it's a big difference when one side can hard count and the other cannot. And when the DEs are looking at the ball while the...

The Jets are now eliminated from winning the division (along with the Dolphins). SF losing means we get a pick between #4 and #7. Maybe the NFL finds another way to take it away. Hopefully Dallas loses. Why?: 1. McNabb is a class guy. 2. Media is unfairly hating on Andy Reid 3...

Pats are 6-0. Except when playing each other, the other 3 teams are 0-13 (they will have to get 6 wins against each other, assuming no ties). Has anyone seen stats or remember a division like this? I recall a few years back, the Eagles clinched the NFC East in something like week 12 and I...

Not only did the right teams win, the right teams lost. Pats 5-0 Jets 1-4 Sox sweep 3-0 Yanks lose 3-1 BC stays undefeated Celtics open camp. (Yes, I'm leaving the Bruins out.) Feels like 2004? Wow!! What's left to say on the whiner line on WEEI?

We're making the kiss my you-know-what list on another thread. How about a list of people who get that this is a rules infraction and is not a big deal (IMO, should be punished as making an unauthorized video, but not cheating and not punished as such): Sean Salisbury Jon Gruden Keyshawn...

There were a few references by the announcers to O'Callahan at TE. Was this merely providing an extra tackle on clear short yardage situations (which I believe other teams have done) or more frequent and either a sign that Watson is not a great blocker or just a way to free up Watson more?

Again heard LT's comment about "the kids." The many misdeeds of the Chargers (western version of the Bengals) just this year have been well-chronicled here. What arrests or suspensions have there been in the Pats/BB era? I can only think of: 1. Johnathan Sullivan, and he got cut 2...
