Holy Moly, it's Brisset and Edelman

[RayClay]

The report also indicates Garoppolo will be inactive for the game, leaving the Patriots with Julian Edelman as their best option behind Brissett, should Brissett get injured or become ineffective

Report: Jacoby Brissett to start against Bills, Jimmy Garoppolo inactive

 

[SuperStang83]

Wow, not what I was expecting at all!

 

[PP2]

Not that it would change the gameplan by that much- considering I expect this to be a run-heavy game. This is a defense that even Brady has trouble with sometimes, never mind Garo or even Brissett. I expect we'll go heavy on run, with some sweeps and read options tossed in to stretch the field, horizontally.

Ryan is going to come with a blitz heavy package- he can't help it, he just has to do it, and I expect us to play off that. If he were truly adaptable, he'd stack to stop the run and challenge us to throw, but I doubt it.

We'll see.

Not a fan of this, had ten days. Been thinking maybe always having a practice squad QB is the way to go. Granted Bill is where he is for a reason and I'm where I'm not for a reason.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Get Jimmy to 100%, give JB some real game reps. Work on running game and run blocking.

3-1 when Brady comes back isn't so bad if that's our record after today's game.

 

[DarrylS]

Thought they were not going to make this decision until noon..

 

[deters]

Really hope this isn't true.

 

[patsfaninpa]

Just win baby!

 

[Geezer Butler]

After re-watching that last game Brisssett didn't really look that bad throwing after the injury. Weird JG is inactive though, head scratcher.

 

[Marqui]

Not looking forward to the JimmyG era where he never plays because he's made of glass.

This not the official report - who is leaking this stuff to Schefter? I understand Brissett as a starter, but why not have JG as the back-up?

 

[patchick]

So much for the idea that the apparent uncertainty about the QB position was all an obvious smoke screen, eh?

This will certainly change my entry into the Predict the Score contest.

I would hate to jinx it, but this is all I can think of when people are just penciling him in for the next ten years.

Bingo. Time to trade him. Of he can't play today, what does that say about him? Smiling, throwing in practice but can't play when it matters?

GTFO of Foxborough. That attitude is toxic, for a QB especially.

 

[WinstonSmith]

More bad news: Earlier in the morning Edelman was advised that he will be a hard tackle away from playing Brady for real. Edelman is now questionable with a four and a half hour erection.

Probably a team thing . They feel he can go. He doesn't.

You don't get to dress and play sideline QB if you are being a p*ssy.

Seriously. This is pathetic. I may be wrong but it sure feels off.

You are wrong. Please just stop now before you embarrass yourself even further.

3-1 is pretty sweet but man how great would a win be now. It would just shatter RR's mind lol.

It does feel off. Hopefully it's a game plan deal? But that doesn't really explain the inactive. hmmmm
