Naturally this just showed up on reddit:



We live in the age of instant memes.

lmao will you guys please stop? im getting yelled at for laughing too loud

He averaged 4.3 YPC last year, 4.7 in 2014 (with the Pats), and 5.0 in 2013.
I get it; Blount has had several games where he runs 1, 2, -1, then 40 yards to inflate the stats.
But Blount has been a solid RB for the Pats.

Heavy, where you getting those numbers? And I never stated he hasn't been decent here, but he had not been great. Sorry, remove the Colts and Redskins and let's see the numbers.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Go pats!!!!!! Let's get another drive going!!!

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

As much as I want to bail on the MFL, how can a person resist watching this BB lead team play??? It will be hard to stop with TB and BB araound

 

[sb1]

I predicted the Pats lose big tonight. Don't I feel silly

 

[fightingirish595]

Has he been here his whole career?

For quite a bit of it. IM not sure where your getting stats from but without looking i can tell you your wrong

 

[Satchboogie3]

He's averaged 2ypc for most of his stint here. He is what he is. He's playing well tonight. I like him, but we're being prisoners of the moment. Just weeks ago, almost the whole board was calling for his head.

What? 2 YPC? if that was the case he wouldnt be in the league, He averages atleast 4.5 for his career

Blount has averaged 4.6 YPC over 3 seasons with NE. I don't know why people like PatsBoy12 continue to think he sucks. He's a good power back. So what if he isn't a HR threat or a feature back. But don't let the facts get in the way of your argument...

UPDATE: And don't give me fumbles now. That's just his 5th with the Patriots...

another gem from the bills forum

There's more to it, they look like they're in the huddle with the cardinals, they seem to know the plays better then the oponent this has been going on for years.

Remember how Collinsworth blew a load every 5 seconds about Trever Siemian who was hardly average for the Broncos?

He's hardly said anything about Garoppolo, neuther has he shown the same enthusiasm.

The bias is very obvious.

I hate Collinsworth!

Mathieu is such a dirty F'ing player.

 

[woolster22]

Getting so tired of rules changes. 25 yard line. Where do you kick the XP from now? I forget... gets to be where you wonder what they'll bring in next year, the 7-point circle for an extra point ON the TD?

The Colts wanted a chance for a 3pt conversion from 50 or some nonsense when they decided to test pushing it back during preseason. I'm not even kidding.

 

[Water Boy]

our dense is special right now. great pass rush paired with a deep secondary

 

[BradyFTW!]

Mitchell's great hands are showing. Already like him. Not as elusive as some of our other guys, but looks like there's a rle for him in the NFL.

 

[AtomicDawg]

The D is.....sniff...making me weep....(blows tissue)

Heavy, where you getting those numbers?

Sorry I forgot the link in the first post.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

My favorite part is that he just described the effects of good coaching, but was so unfamiliar with it that he concluded it must be cheating.

I mean, I can't blame him for not recognizing it when he sees it. He's a bills fan.

Its like the Native Americans thinking guns were black magic

 

[ViperGTS]

You've got to be kidding me.

 

[Froob]

C'mon Blount.

 

[WhoaDirty]

Come on, Blount.

 

[VectorPrime]

NOOOOOO
