Some people believe that no matter what happens going forward here in NE post-Brady, BB’s status as best HC of modern times is secure.
If the near future unfolds in a not implausible way, there is an oft-ridiculed unlikely competitor on the horizon who could challenge that perception.
BB is 68...
If you go to pro football reference, every player drafted gets assigned a seasonal and career value score called AV.
if we just look at the career AV totals of players drafted by NE vs Balt vs Seat over the last 20, 10 and 5 year increments we see:
Pats
20 yr AV total: 2691
Last 10 years: 1245...
Just a thought trying to acquire an undervalued asset.
Should be able to get him for 4th rounder.
Have Stidham compete with Trubisky for the next year.
Give Trubisky to McDaniels for a year+ and see if he can renovate him.
The Chicago fans want to run him out of town but he’s very young and a...
Looking for players who dominate defensive lines, who change the line scrimmage with their play, who push the pocket; it seems to me those are the players who make an impact in the NFL playoffs. The fancy outside rushers like Beasley usually disappear and get man-handled against quality...
Wow, that did the trick. Nothing controls a legion of psychopaths like a proactive email. Here we have NFL office leadership on full display.
BTW I was in Pittsburgh last night. The mood there is as expected, the angelic Stillers representing all decency in NFL history took a stand for...
I've been thinking about why I find these official threads so annoying, and finally figured it out. In the past I read this board less for the topics than for the posters themselves. Certain members had great things to say, real insight, and when they created a thread you knew it was driven by...
The current defense has registered 48 sacks, more than any other defensive squad under BB in NE. I haven't calculated sacks per pass attempt, and it is true that teams are passing much more than in past years. But nonetheless this is a significant development, and I believe the drafting of Jones...
There has been speculation in some quarters that McDaniels is a candidate to succeed BB if and when BB decides to hang it up, a kind of HC in waiting.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have been a persistent critic of McDaniels. I believe he has been outcoached consistently in big games...
"The first time I met (Tom) Brady I told him, 'I'm Stevan Ridley," and he said, 'I know who you are. Glad to have you on the team and I look forward to working with you.' Tom Brady runs that organization. You have to be on Tom Brady's page."
Ridley returns home for fundraiser | Mississippi's...

27. Amini Silatolu G: dominant guard ability, Brian Waters not here for long. Cannon's future may be RT. Volmer is injury prone. Key combine stats: 32 inch vertical jump.
31. Andre Branch OLB: length, athletic ability give him upside to be young Roosevelt Colvin.
Played end of season...
Not necessarily what I want them to do, but what I think they will do.
I think they will target these 4 players in the first 2 rounds:
Eben Britton: starts out as solid right tackle. Moves to LT once he learns tricks of trade or if Light makes unreasonable contract demands.
Max Unger...
Provided the defense improves, which usually happens down the stretch with BB, this team has a good shot for post season play.
The other contenders are Indy, Jax, SD and the NYJ.
IMO Indy will finish 10-6, Jax 9-7, SD 8-8, NYJ 8-8.
If the Pats beat Denver they will be in solid...
While the vandals were sacking Rome, some of us hunkered down waiting for the storm to pass rather than fight the horde. Thankfully, they have now moved on to the Practice Squad forum with the all their plunder and the citizens can reemerge to rebuild the Forum. Huzzah!
PS. Compliments to the...
I find myself driving at night alot and have been listening to the Cs on the radio for years.
I reached my tipping point last season, during the Cs incredible run.
I just can't listen to Max anymore.
His schtick has worn me out. His antics are not endearing.
I didn't find his "I got...
IMO the Giants are the best team in football. Manning has grown by leaps and bounds. His presence in the pocket is light years ahead of where he was in week 15 last season. Shockey's absence must have liberated E. Manning, that's the only conclusion I can draw.
They are playing extremely...
This kid is tremendous. Watching that Denver game was a treat if you like good LT play. If the draft were done over, he would go ahead of J. Long.
I watched the Giant St Louis game.
C. Long is going to be a good NFL player. He is relentless, quick and strong. He picked up his first sack...
