Not intended to do more than simply ask, if you had to pick an offensive identity for the Patriots, and talent wasn't an issue, what style do you prefer. Something more like the Rodgers/Manning style air game? A heavy smashmouth rushing attack with the QB playing second fiddle like we did in...

No big splash FA or trades. No spicy moves to entice the fanbase. Both will play against the goal of eventually winning the Superbowl. This year, and probably the next, are lost years. if we try to put a fig leave over them by signing mediocre free agents just to make a splash, they will...

Big thick tackle, fills a hole we need on the line, and would, at least in theory, make the job of any QB we happen to have much easier. Looking at this roster, and especially at the way Mac got hung out to dry, taking the best OL in the draft just feels like the sort of thing we need to be...

I'm skeptical of this. Not impressed with the OL. The defense can best be described as well coached, rather than talented. I think you can make an argument to trade down and spread out the draft value. I know those top QBs are tempting and sometimes QB can hide a lot of flaws but I'm not...

Hue Jackson has now joined Flores with his own allegations of being incentivized not to win https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/hue-jackson-suggests-browns-jimmy-haslam-paid-him-to-tank-during-his-time-with-cleveland/ Feel like this side if things should be broken away from the Flores megathread...

Rumors that Pascal is hitting the market have me pricking my ears up like I normally don't do for a potential UFA I am irrationally high on Pascal. He's shown that he can be a decent WR3. No one would mistake him for Randy Moss but he's a good piece of a throwing attack. In Indianapolis...

We're in the division hunt. We're relevant. People aren't overlooking us anymore. The coaching staff looks solid and the talent is there. The adjusts that are needed seem reasonably manageable -- a bit more speed in the middle and perhaps another thick body on the defensive line. Hardly...

First time I've ever noticed this guy and that sack looked very good. Solid push-pull, good motion with the feet, good use of weight to get around the OL, good grip on the tackle. Made his opponent look silly 1 on 1, got home and made it stick against a QB who's tough to sack. I think this is...

When Develin left I was legit worried that he'd be a tough act to follow. Develin was an amazing modern fullback and many of the highlights of guys like Legarritte Blout and Deion Lewis doubled as Develin highlights if you know what you're looking at. That said, Jakob Johnson has stepped into...

Now obviously me saying this, I know that if we fail it doesn't change much, we're still big playoff contenders and could erase a manhandling by the Bills in the playoffs, but a win here could still be huge. Up to this point the games have been about fighting for the right to be considered...

Belichick's older son Steve is getting a bit of exposure now, and seems to be doing a decent job as a defensive coach. His brother, Brian, also now coaches for the Patriots but we know practically nothing about him other that when Steve moved to Linebackers coach,, Brian took Steve's old job as...

The performance against the Colts is that of a team with no plan and no self belief. Frankly if that's the best they can do I think the Bills are in for a freefall to end the season. They just gave us the division by coming out super flat against the Colts and I don't think they're going to...

I think we've got some starters that need to look over their shoulder. I noticed some really good work by Cajuste among others. With the poor showing we got in the first 4 games from the OL nobody should feel too safe if the reserves start stringing some strong games together.

This is going to be its own discussion, might as well break it out now with a respectful title rather than one by another anguished fan who lets the suds choose his words for him. Frankly, neither going for it on 4th and 3 nor the field goal were in any way guaranteed to work. Bill took his...

So I was watching the game today and I mentioned this in chat but I want to break this out because it's a great sign for his intangibles. 4th quarter, up 3 scores, Mac has a couple bad possessions in a row. He's up 3 scores in the dying minutes of the game and is just ripping the straps off...

1: The Dolphins are a playoff contender. If Tua plays well they'll be in the mix right up to the end. We played even with a team that shoud have played us even, they just happened to get 1 more point than we did. 2: Mac10 looked GOOD. Like really good. Like making poised throws that moved...

Not CoVID related, thank God. Some kind of kidney failure related to diabetes. I don't know all the details. Kidneys haven't stopped working entirely but they're so low function that my brother died in the hospital at least once that I know of already and he thinks there may have been a...

This is obviously dependent on factors we can't possibly know, like how effective Newton is and health and whatnot but this is basically my guess on why Bill may have no intention whatsoever to throw Mac into the fire this year if he can avoid it. What I'm seeing from Jones tells me that the...

I know some of you guys are anxious to see Pat out there again on our helmets, but I think it's a terrible graphic for a helmet logo. Way too complex to the point of being impossible to distinguish at a distance if you don't already know what that is. Pat's head, on the other hand, just the...

This is only an option if he can't play of course. But I desperately want to keep his vast experience on how to play short routes to stay in the franchise. This is a franchise who lives and dies on the checkdown at times, we need to have this be an excellent part of our offensive game. And I...
