He reminds me a LOT of LaDanian Tomlinson. You know, without the *****iness.

 

[sb1]

Doesn’t seem great but I could be wrong…

 

[Uptown]

Their last great edge rusher was John Abraham. That’s insane…

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Wonder if burrow will be back by nov 23… great qb but this will be 3 years out of 6 where hes had to miss most of the season if this needs surgery.

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell ya, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon...

 

[TheRainMaker]

What the hell was Kirk Cousins thinking this offseason? I thought the Falcons were supposed to release him.

Were people trying to tell us these QBs playing tonight were better than Drake Maye? For real?

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Parker Romo 5/5 and hits a 54 yarder

Those people hate talent, this Tua light vs Mac Jones with wheels and loads of eye black

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Painful

Can't write this stuff lol

Sports the best soap opera there is.

Just so you know, I instinctively wanted to hit 'agree' on that post, but I'm just not on board the 'Patriots are a fringe wildcard team' train yet. Way, way too many personnel holes and depth issues for that to be reality yet, in my mind.

Understand your perspective and @farn ’s as well, but being a “fringe playoff team” in the AFC isn’t going to be very hard. There’s already only 4 unbeaten teams in the whole conference after only 2 weeks. I’m guessing the 7th seed will go to a team that’s 9-8, so if the Pats are, say, 6-7 with four weeks left to go then they are in the picture at the end which makes them a fringe playoff team.

They already have 1 win so that’s 5 more wins from now. Think they can get 5 wins out of this batch?:

Steelers (home)
Panthers (home)
Saints (away)
Titans (away)
Browns (home)
Falcons (home)
Jets (home)
Giants (home)
Jets (away)
Dolphins (home)

Basically, if they can even just go around .667 in those games, then steal a win or two against the Bills (2x), the Bengals, the Ravens, and the Bucs, then they’re in the playoffs.

I can get to 4, right now. Might change in a couple of weeks.

Fair. IMO their issues are largely fixable and I feel confident they will fix a lot of it. There was already a big improvement from last week to this week in some problem areas. Obviously not all, but slow improvement while playing other talent deficient teams is a recipe for success.

 

[n1997y]

so... Parker Romo has made his first two kicks tonight for Atlanta... justsayin'

Think he has now made all five six, is that right?

The lack of depth in the back 7 is pretty terrifying. Spillane has shown no ability to tackle and Elliss is the other linebacker. Even if Tavai comes back, I don't know how much of an upgrade he is. If Alex Austin keeps getting big snap counts, it's going to be an issue for some of those teams that look like 'easy' wins. For example, do you want to see Christian Elliss trying to spy Cam Ward?
