FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Word of Muth: Patriots Dominate

Great stuff. If the Patriots pass block this well next week they have a great chance. The only guy who i felt had a bad game blocking was Flemming. Then again, what do you expect out of a 3rd string tackle? I hope either Waddle is back or they make sure to give Flemming a lot of help.

Allen is a guy I think the Patriots should sign long term but hopefully for a more reasonable price. I like what he does here in his role.

He's signed through 2019, so it'd be a restructuring.

Yes that's what I meant. I think he make something like 5M per year for the next 2 years. I see him more as a 3M a year player. For 5M I don't really think he is worth it to be honest.

Nope, no, I don't want to hear it! 31 fan bases have told me that the patriots o-line get away with murder. The refs never call holding on them. God damn it! Now Kraft is paying off football outsiders! When will it stop!

Oh god! Not again! Why does Dwayne Allen keep sucking? BB's worst trade in Football history!

This is just an outside zone with a BOSS concept (back on strong safety), but holy crap is Dwayne Allen (83) good here. Actually, good is an understatement -- Allen is perfect here. First he knocks the defensive end (Jackson, 97) onto Solder, but he does it without getting his outside hand involved so he can still climb quickly to the outside linebacker (Telvin Smith, 50). Then he blocks the outside linebacker so well that the middle linebacker (Paul Posluszny, 51) can't get around the block despite being unblocked himself.

And that is not a hold on the linebacker. It just isn't. I am as tired of New England winning as anyone, but that simply isn't a hold. It's great blocking.

If anything maybe this season helps some people to learn what the role of a TE is and why Allen had an overall good season.


He friggin blocks 3 people from blowing Lewis up on the play that seals the AFCCG win.

What are you trying to say, that New England follows the rules in order to cheat now?

... on the Patriots, anyway.

Gotta love it when other teams spend a high draft pick on a big, slow WR who can't help their ground game at all.

Well, they must have paid off the refs so they wouldn't have called it if it was a hold, which comes to the same thing, doesn't it?

That seems to be my buddies arguments. The latest stupid idea I’ve heard at work is that the pats following rules is a ruse intended to trick the feeble minded newcomers to the playoffs who never expected such a diabolical plan
