Congratulations to the Patriots Pro Bowlers!

I think this will work out for the Pats. Butler feeds off being disrespected. By Feb 6th at 12am, everyone will know that Butler is a pro-bowler and one of the top 5 CB in the league.

Watt was cooked.

Vs CIN he allowed a sack and 3 hurries.

Since then he's erased the best pass rushers in the league

I'm bugging Matt Chat to get us a video of him breaking down Cannon. I gotta know what in the world he's doing differently. I'm great at analyzing o line techniques and stuff.

Also called out during the DEN game, Cannon kept his left arm down so Miller couldnt grab it to spin to the inside and just used his feet and right hand to slide Miller wide. Thats an example of technique. BB also said he came into camp in fantastic physical condition.

Alex Mack being named should ensure the Patriots get the Browns' 3rd round 2017 compensatory pick for him.

(Through Collins trade).

I think that the NFL* will make it a 4th round compensatory pick and they'll grant enough 4th round compensatory picks to make sure that Patriots pick is the 12th slot after the Giants original 4th round pick.

Brady plays 10 games = Pro Bowl. Sorry, Goodell.

I've never heard of "Realsport" and have no clue what, if any, credibility they have. However, I always like seeing different Pats getting some love. This comes from their Top 5 2017 Pro Bowl Snubs:

Shaq Mason, Right Guard, New England Patriots
Mason is about as far from a household name as you can get. Guards get very little love when they start producing, it usually takes a strong three or four years to get a reputation with the Pro Bowl electorate, but that doesn’t mean that a known guard with injuries, like Marshal Yanda, is playing better in 2016 than the youngster Shaq Mason. Mason has been a monster for the Patriots this season, vastly improved from 2015 thanks to the return of line coach Dante Scarnecchia, Mason has been gashing defenses in both the run and pass game. He is particularly impressive in space, able to get quickly around the corner and find a defender to bury. For a guy who wasn’t invited to the Combine when he declared for the draft he has done pretty well.

Reading that I would agree with everything but would stick in Cannon.

It's Logan Ryan at 81 (67 single, 14 combined). Chung has 80 (46 single, 34 combined). McCourty is third with 65 (55 single, 10 combined). Then comes Hightower with 64 (30 single, 34 combined).

The NFL site had Chung with 84, but who knows exactly. Interesting fact though, that among the 96 NFL players who had more tackles than Hightower was our old friend Tavon Wilson with 74.

Wow...good for them






















smh.... over my dead body

Titans have more than us!?!

Love this quote:

 

[BTTA]

I don't want any Patriot to every be picked for the Pro Bowl. It should eat at them as an ultimate disprespect, making them angry and even more determined. Brady especially. Deny him every year and let it simmer.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Boom. Love it.

 

[Froob]

Shouldn't Bell be disqualified for cheating (weedgate and deflategate)?

 

[Wheelman]

This statement is flat out incorrect.

Since the CIN game he's been consistently dominant.

...As his extension signed on 11/30 indicates how the team views his play.

He hasn't been consistently dominant but he has been very very good. I've seen him get beat once or twice in a game or two. But nothing bad ever happened because of Brady moving around or dumping it off when the pressure came.
