Good. Play Bourne, Douglas, Reagor and Boutte and Thornton and no other WR’s (ok so maybe it’s easier to say don’t play Parker and Bubu Shuster). We need to know what they can do. IMO Boutte is not injured…he’s struggling with the usual attitude problems and alienating himself from the team and coaches…and I don’t care. Play him…we need to know sooner then later if he can play in the Not For Long.

Mac definitely has a little bit of extend-the-play creativity in him, but if he goes too far down that road he goes out of control. That's how the pick sixes happen. It makes sense to try to have him stay in his lane and focus on the quick release and standing in the pocket for a little while, and then see if they can let him off the leash a bit later in the season.

He also tends to overlook targets who are open at/past the sticks in favor of those open a couple of yards in front of them and makes those receivers do the rest of the work; case in point, one minute into the 2nd quarter, 3rd/9 at their own 26...

Be nice if he didn't play! Lol

It would be even nicer if he were dead, same as his buddies Kermit & Swifty.

IF we hold serve and Jack Jones - Marcus Jones and JC Jackson plays well that Defense is back in business. IF this Defense Finishes Top10 without Judon and Gonzo it should be Championship caliber next year I almost can't wait.

I believe you mean Jonathan.

Isn't there already an Oreos cereal?

 

[captain stone]

Gronk is right, of course.

The Gay Griddy Must Go.

 

[captain stone]

I think he forgets that he used to celebrate every touchdown hard. He was the best!

I remember that game... in London, so naturally he gave us his best Beefeater spike!

Cam Newton

Former Patriots QB reveals ‘biggest regret’ in lone season with New England

“My biggest regret from New England is the fact that I didn’t play in front of the fans. Because me being me, I feed off of the energy of people — whether it’s a ‘boo!’, whether it’s a ‘ooh’, whether it’s a ‘ahh’ or a ‘nah,’” Newton said. “I feed off of that and I use that. And when we was in them doggone stadiums and it was empty, they was pumping crowd noise, I’m like, ‘Man, this (expletive) is weak.’”

Wrong again as usual Scam... You were ****ing Lucky there were fewer people there live to see you Suck.

 

[captain stone]

Let's not get carried-away here, JC. If you still had Gonzo & the Midget in uniform you might be on to something...

 

[captain stone]

"Hybrid" field?

Is that, like, similar to when indica & sativa strains are combined...?

 

[captain stone]

Vince was recalling the glory days when he, Hogan & the Ultimate Stiff were injecting Juice before workouts/matches...

 

[captain stone]

Interesting how neither group included the previous year's second round pick.

Never mind Pickens, I'd settle for Alec Pierce at this stage if we had to trade up in the first place, which I wouldn't have done anyway.

The thought just occurred to me that the Pats moved from one former Eagles first-round WR bust in 2022 (Agholor, drafted in 2015) to another former Eagles first-round WR bust in 2023 (Reagor, drafted in 2020).

And the Eagles picked up a Patriots coaching bust in Patricia.

Agholor is playing good for BAL and has more yds (222) than all Pats receivers except Bourne. He's avg. 13.1 ypc. w/ 2 TDs.

Jonnu is playing good for ATL and has more yds (309) than all Pats receivers except Bourne. He's avg. 11.0 ypc. w/ 1 TD.

Something about vets coming into NE system that doesn't always click.

Agholor was always a good receiver everywhere he goes except his hands disappear later in the year. Give him time.

Jonnu has always been a crazy athletic guy and he is outperforming Kyle Pitts, the 4th overall pick in the 2021 draft.

It is always hard to compare because playing for Atlanta is a difference conference and division.

Yea, maybe but Jonnu is getting passes from freaking Ridder. Idk man, we've seen so many good receivers come here that just can't produce in our system. Look at Parker, JuJu, Agholor, Jonnu, etc. Remember Reggie Wayne retiring because playbook was too hard. Jajaja

That's why we missed such an opportunity w/ AB. That crazy mfer was such a good receiver. Crazy af but a baller.

One might look to our coaching of WR's.

We have trouble developing them.

We have trouble integrating vets from other teams.

heck, if the rest weren't so bad, Bourne would still be in the doghouse.
