OK, I know there's been a million of these, I've complained myself. But I'm not a college football guy really, and we really haven't needed to be top of the draft QB guys around these parts, so this is a question to those who are always into it Here's what I'm wondering. Throughout the...

I assume that most people here check out Reiss' Sunday column, but thought this was worth flagging Belichick has (rightly) gotten a lot of flak for various things in recent years, but this approach is exactly the right one, and I'm guessing maybe not that common. Well done by him...

No saying I told you so unless you vote! Made it a poll but folks should also post their predictions I say 8, which might be real optimistic with this offensive line, but I hope I'm way too low

I hesitate to bring this up for obvious reasons, but I saw Jaylen Brown’s comments about racism in Boston, and it seems like the kind of thing, that if it gets traction, might affect teams (including the Pats) ability to bring in players, free agents, from around the country. I’m just wondering...

This might not be thread worthy, but what the hell it's a slow week Was thinking about the end of the game, when Philly was letting KC score so they'd get the ball back with the chance to tie. The KC runner nearly screwed up and went in, but he caught himself at the last minute. Led me to...

With the Celtics up 3-0 in round one, seems kinda crazy we don't have a thread dedicated to this Full disclosure, I've become a fair-weather fan in recent years, mostly because so much of today's game, iso ball, chucking up 3's etc, kinda sucks. But watching this series, the C's have the ball...

Just kidding! Not a peep. And to any other fan bases who might peek in here: GOOD. The Pats got whipped. Full stop. That's it. If we wanted the Bills to stop scoring, that's what a defense is for. So the next time the Pats win huge--and it's coming--do us a favor, media and others...

An apology to the media? The Bill Belichick we know and love would never do that. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2021/12/20/bill-belichick-apologizes-to-media-for-short-answers-after-loss-to-colts/ Kidding of course. Interesting though. tbh, I like the fact that he's able to do that.

OK, it's almost showtime. And as we all know, nobody knows anything. But I thought it would be interesting to see what people's best guesses were, and if we have a consensus at all here. So time to commit: come this time next week, who's the Pats QB? I truly have no freaking idea, but my...

So I went back 27 years, to the start of the Cowboys dynasty. Good a place as any to consider the modern era, although I know the game has changed quite a bit since then. Thing is, I’d say the importance of getting the QB has actually been underplayed. In that time, these quarterbacks have won...

Whatever you think of Bill Simmons now, when he started he wrote a lot of things that spoke for the typical Boston sports fan. This was written a couple of days before the tuck rule game (I have no problem calling it that) when it seemed bizarre that the Pats were actually in contention. The...

Apologies, I don’t remember the initial injury, what do we know about his status? Important dude.

Seriously, can someone tell me? I don’t subscribe to BSJ. Other than Jackson getting targeted by the refs, seemed like a pretty perfect performance.

He might help...

Been a ton of conversation lately about Antonio Brown, character, doing the right thing, winning, losing, life and death, etc. Seems to me at the heart of it is whether or to what extent you care about players' behavior and how that affects your viewing. So, going to try to put this into poll...

Welcome to the 53, Jakob Johnson! And remember... Pronunciation: Jakob Johnson

When Gronk initially retired, I joked that I was going to be in denial and he was going to eventually come back. But there's been enough rumblings where this no longer seems completely crazy. Or at least I don't think so? Curious what the board consensus is...massive denial going on, or maybe...

Can Boston win the grand slam of championships this year, winning the title of all four major sports in the same year? OK, probably not. But as the basketball and hockey playoffs about to start, it is a uniquely exciting possibility for the city of champions. At a minimum, both the Celtics and...

Just feels like a headache coming. Per Schefter via Reiss: Patriots' Bill Belichick advocates for more time working with players For example, the Rams would have gotten the call on Cooks & ball at the one in the Super Bowl. I see a lot of headscratchers coming. I don’t love instant replay in...

Took a look but didn’t see a thread about this, maybe I’m missing it. What do we think? Guy is a top talent, I’m sure Brady and Belichick could easily get him to knock off the flakiness, and the Pats wide receiving corps is pretty much on the brink of disaster at this point. Contract seems...
