Chandler Jones reportedly out for a month

[TBR]

So our 2 best defensive players (not named Revis) are out for the year (Mayo) and out for a month (Jones)

Meanwhile the 2 best defensive players on the Broncos are the top 2 leaders in sacks. Lucky bastards.

My question is WHO will break the news (FROM TWO DAYS AGO) about Chandler Jones being out for a month to this Providence Journal reporter who is tweeting that he is missing from practice?

From One Hour Ago

Chandler Jones still missing from practice, still no sign of Alan Branch

Sealver Siliga and Jerod Mayo were also reportedly absent.

I hear no one saw Jim Plunkett on the field either. Maybe his alarm clock wasn't working!

Chandler Jones is not on any IR list. Therefore, his absence, or non-absence, from practice, is something that will be reported on.

Pretty much evryone who follows the Patriots has heard the news that Jones will be out approximately one month.

Kinda like the old Chevy Chase SNL Update line "And in other news, Generalissimo Franco is still dead".

"Chandler Jones still missing from practice"

Thanks for the realtime tweeted updates!

Patriots practicing without Chandler Jones today, per @LeeSchechter. Also a new player on the field, wearing No. 69.

Chandler Jones not spotted at Patriots practice. Maybe a practice squad move coming: there's a new #69, while DL Kona Schwenke not spotted.

Calm down, Counselor. Yes, they are ALL funny.


Your 24 hour per day Norman Thurm Act is the next funny thing about this.




Life is good. Laugh a little. The Patriots are competitive and interesting. Breathe deeply and enjoy it.

@shmessy, if you want something to bang on clueless media about, here's something for you regarding Felger. As you know, he's been on the "Brady's in decline" thing for a while. Well, just a few minutes ago, a caller took him to task, noting that Brady's numbers are on pace to be similar to his 2010 MVP season. Felger's response was essentially "Yes, but he's more inconsistent today than he was in 2010, which is proof of his decline. Well, here you go, through 7 weeks of each season:

QB rating 2010 - 96.56
QB rating 2014 - 96.3

TDs 2010 - 12
TDs 2014 - 13

INTs 2010 - 4
INTs 2014 - 2

Passing yards 2010 - 1602
Passing yards 2014 - 1705

Games under 90 QB rating 2010 - 3
Games under 90 QB rating 2014 - 2

Games with 2 INTs 2010 - 2
Games with 2 INTs 2014 - 1

Games with 0 TDs both years - 0

Games with 1TD both years - 4

Felger is someone I am grateful to miss! Brilliant showman, though I don't think he believes 10% of what he is saying.

Looking at those stats, what's amazing is that if Brady really did have 12 TD's and 4 INT's after game 7 in 2010, that means he went 24-0 TD-INTs for the remaining 9 games. That's incredible down the stretch.

 

[Danger Zone]

Felger is clearly right on one point... the number of Brady's interceptions is clearly in decline. Only half of what he had in 2010 by this date.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Felger is clearly right on one point... the number of Brady's interceptions is clearly in decline. Only half of what he had in 2010 by this date.

And with not a great receiving core and crap OL...imagine what he would do in the broncos O?

That was the year where they had the Moss situation arise, and the team put it together after the loss to the Browns, going 8-0 down the stretch. Brady had only 1 game with a QB rating under 110 in the second half of the season, and that one was 107.

I don't expect Brady to match that, though I'd obviously love it if he did.
