Burkhead AND Bentley put on IR

[signbabybrady]

Imagine thinking that "playing in a SB 4 games ago" is what people have an issue with.

What a stupid take.

Yup you totally got my point.

Look...you wanna jump? Jump. There's plenty of teams out there in the NFL right this minute that will fill your insatiable need to experience constant winning. In fact the best strategy people like you could probably ever employ. Just go to the power rankings and pick one of the top five. Just keep jumping from team to team until the playoffs and then ride the hottest playoff team to YOUR next big super bowl win!!

Fine with me. Less overt pansy-ism to deal with.

How did it get so bad ? Every year we have had depth at nearly every position, this year we don't have enough able bodies to make up a decent 53 player roster !!!!

In fairness, the forum collectively identified the need to solidify and strengthen the front seven, specifically, at the LB position.

A good year to be an out of work JAG.
Kids there will be presents under the tree.

I’ve been following this board for years, didn’t really post until a year or so ago. This team has had a crazy ride. Tremendous amount of success, still have the best QB of all time, and in football today.

Yes, things have been rough through 3 games, but it’s september. It seems like half the crowd here has lost their minds already. Why don’t we chill out for a few weeks? It’s alright to be concerned, but we aren’t 6-6 right now. Plenty of time to see if they’ll turn things around and Jules isn’t even back.

Some of you need to get it together. This isn’t the 2009 team...yet. We’re all annoyed they’ve sucked the last two weeks. They deserve criticism. But some of you have already jumped off the ledge.

What is the over/ under on rushing yards allowed by the pats defense this weekend?

Made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs!

Burkhead was going to play 7 games max anyway and was already playing with a messed up knee, and Bentley has looked like a replacement-level LB so far. So the first loss is unsurprising to say the least and the second will probably be pretty easy to replace. Which is to say that all in all this doesn't really move the needle.

Bentley has looked like a replacement-level LB

He graded out pretty well so far and substantially above any other LB drafted this year. He played a ton of snaps and was ahead of where rookies usually are.

Not saying it is a critical hit but it is a starter lost.

 

[long distance]

not good to lose him for 8 weeks . real blow it sounds like for the season..

 

[captain stone]

3 sbs in the last 4 years is pretty now.

You mean 2.

 

[Mack Herron]

Who's next?

 

[Ring 6]

You mean 2.

No I mean 3.

 

[PatsFan2]

One thing to note: young TE Jacob Hollister seems rather fragile...thought he was going to do something he had a nice Off-season.

And precious little cap space to replenish. I would start there (we could not afford Cooks under our current cap).

Anyone with a brain would have jumped to the dolphin the moment Danny Boy took his pretty mug down to south beach.

This Sunday could be a torture chamber for old Danny haters for sure....
