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.
If you told me before the season the Pats would be tied for the best record in football at 10-2 with 3 of the next four at home, I'd be looking to high five you all. Sure, they look to be trending in the wrong direction, but after last December I'm not calling anything.
Jakobi Meyers has a quick out here from the slot. Turns into a scramble-drill situation. Brady expects Meyers to turn up the field once the play is off schedule. He doesn’t. Meyers said after the game he tried to push up and come back to Brady. “Just on different pages.”
And one we haven't spent a lot of time questioning on this forum. Seems to have been overshadowed by AB. Not a lot of leaks regarding Gordon either, except that comment from Dorsett or whoever that said he appreciated that Sanu would "show up" (which was framed as an apparent slight at Gordon).
Tom Brady was picked when he targeted N'Keal Harry in the first quarter. It wasn't the rookie's last snap of the game. But it was his last target. "I guess I could've used my body more," Harry said.

Maybe they don't have the horses this year. But maybe they ride D/ST to a title a la 2001 with 3 offensive TDs in 3 playoff games. The standard they've set has no comparison in the SB era. I'm not going to kill them if they struggle to meet it.

Either Gordon really messed up or they mismanaged whatever happened. It seems like it could be both. It would’ve been a better option to keep Gordon and get through the rest of the season, rather than trading away a second rounder who would take awhile to understand the offense and ultimately, try and produce at a time when a rookie would be seeing his first snaps as another new receiver.
I blame Kraft mostly because he took away Tom’s shiniest weapon. I think Bill has tried. He brought in AB, he sent a second rounder for Sanu at the deadline, he drafted a receiver in the first round.
Though I do blame him for cutting Josh Gordon. He isn’t the Josh Gordon of old at all, but he can win those one on one battles that others on the team can’t.

BB chose to get rid of Gordon and Thomas. BB chose not to spend the draft capital on a TE, or to bring in anything more than a stop gap longshot at the position. BB chose not to find a veteran RB, opting for a draftee who isn't even making the active list.
Learning when to use the body to box out, and when to just come back to the ball, is something that he'll improve on. But the fact that he's still at the stage where he doesn't know which to choose on plays that should be his specialty is not a good thing.
