More trouble in paradise between AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts. Personally, I think you can spread the blame around on this one. Yes, the ball was grossly overthrown, but Brown slowed up on his route too.

This is the kinda stuff that Belichick was so good at keeping in check.

JSN & Egbuka are prototype Patriot WRs if I’ve ever seen one…

Hutchinson would have 3 more sacks this season if it wasn't for penalties and 2 of them weren't on him. he was worth the # 2 over all.

Chase is making Browning look good.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Love the Seahawks throwbacks, they should keep them

we cut him the week of the game, like a few days before if memory serves

Oh crap. Senior moment. That's right,,, he took our freakin playbook with him. It's all coming back.

 

[Uptown]

Hard to explain, but today there’s been a lot of bad football, but good games.

Amazing that this still happens. Absolutely ridiculous .

In 2003 (yeah, I know it is a long time ago), the Patriots lost to the Bills 31-0 week one. The Pats went onto a 14-2 season and a Super Bowl win. The Bills won 5 more games all year. People around the league were literally talking about the Patriots being one hit wonders and the Bills being the new powerhouses in the AFC and questioning whether the Pats should have traded Brady instead of Bledsoe.

There are always aberrations in week one. By all accounts, the Patriots didn't go as hard as they had in the past during the preseason. Vrabel seems to have the philosophy of treating the first month of the season as an extension of the preseason and historically as head coach has a really bad losing record the first week of the season. Even seasons where he won his division, he lost week one.

Every year, I discount what happens in week one. It really means nothing other than the W/L in the standings. That is why Belichick always said you never what type of team you have until at least week 5.

I watched that game. At Buffalo. I remember it well.. the lawyer malloy game. We ended up returning the favor later that season 31-0
En route to another SB.. you make a good point. As teams can look like contenders week 1 and then fade the rest of the season. That is true because Injuries also factor in as well.

Cardinals was 21 to 2, now they are going to lose to the Titans, at home, and worse yet, take me out of the pick`em contest

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

Miami rushed for 19 yds today!

Oh my.

 

[Rob0729]

The guy ran 72 yards with the ball and couldn't hold onto it for two more feet before he scored. Insane.
