Game Day Thread Official Game Thread Week 8 Pats @ Bills

THIS IS OUR LIVE GAME DAY THREAD:

This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.

At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.

Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.

This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.

If you do you will have your account suspended.

I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.

Why? was he contributing anything worthwhile right now? He is obviously nursing something minor and BB may be just sending him a message.

Of all the things to worry about the 7th receiving target seems dumb.

The move, along with the Derby trade, basically gives the team no passing game depth at TE/WR. That's a legitimate concern.
 
My word. Was just watching the cbs pre-game. Apparently Brady is the only QB that has ever been affected by pressure. At least that was dan fouts genius analysis on how to stop Brady.

Which if you are basing it on this season is not completely factual. Brady has actually been good facing pressure.
 
Why are the pats wearing their home jerseys?

Given the receiving abilities of White and blocking of Develin I don't think the depth issue is the takeaway.

Flexibility? Yes. No 'real' five wide or three TE sets, but how much have they run those with true WRs or TEs this year anyway? It's always RBs or TEs split wide or T in as TE at the goal line.
 
Slater goes deeeeeeeeeeeep (and does not catch the ball) - that'll be our 5 WR play.

I read this often on the forum. What exactly do people mean by this? Do you just mean they can't use throwback helmet designs? Or are you saying they're only allowed to have one set of helmets? Or Bob Kraft is too cheap to pay for a second set of helmets?
New league safety rule in 2013 prohibits the use of different helmets during a season; therefore no Pats real (throwback) games since.

Kraft indeed too cheap to hire friendly, civilized, helpful people to work at Pro Shop; and too full of himself to allow fans of New England see their team out on the field, instead of his ugly classless replacement costumes.

White does not have WR/TE receiving skills.
Develin is not a TE.
New England runs 2TE sets more than any other team in the NFL

A team that usually carries 3 legit TEs and 4 WRs, which is already light for how the team plays, is now carrying 2 legit TEs and 3 WRs. If you don't think that's a potential depth problem, I don't know what to tell you.
 
Someone just had to mention helmets (or any uniform item). Now we'll have to listen to the "creeping evil of the Flying Elvis" for the next four hours!
