Can't wait for the Homers rebuttal on this.

You haven't been paying attention have you?

 

[Real fan 02]

as an old friend Jayne Cobb once said - if wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak...

whos free at WR? who could you pry loose with a swap of late round picks like that? The JC Jackson trade - a very fortuitous turn of events that allowed that to happen like it did...

The thing is about WRs unless its directly cash money related, teams usually hang onto those guys because of how important they have become to the game over the past decade or so... I mean we all say we'd like jerry juedy to come here, but what would it cost to pry him out of denver? more than he's worth unfortunately... would like to see an honest attempt to make a run at Tee Higgins this coming up off season... there might be a few other decent players available, but i cant remember who...

Gotcha!! The JC trade was a no brainer.. as LA was looking to move on from him apparently he fell out of favor with the New DC. I guess I'm being to over critical on the WRs? I just need to seem them make more plays and help the offense. Tee Higgins is likely the top FA to be in the off season. The Dallas game I'm summing up as a bad early season loss.. just a culmination of bad football in all 3 phases. I guess the only thing that can help the patriots this season.. is the patriots

That's a bit too tin-foil hat level conspiracy for me my friend. I think we go with Occam's Razor here: He hurt his hamstring. They were afraid of rushing him back too soon so they IR'd him, figuring they still had Gonzalez (who was having a great camp), Marcus Jones, Jon Jones, Bryant in a reduced role and Mills in an emergency. Still decent at the top and good depth. Then it was just one injury after another. If they wanted to suspend him, they'd just suspend him. Or at the very least make him practice but a healthy scratch each week. He's legitimately hurt, the hope is that he's back sooner rather than later now that's he's eligible.

Please don't read to much into that post was just a ln opinion.. I was passing off as a joke.. I know he legitimately hurt his hamstrings..

 

[The Gr8est]

Today's the day for ir designations?

If so, pretty sure both judon & gonzales will be added...

Any particular call ups as replacements expected? Last week it was easy to see Pharms getting a call up, but this week I'm not so sure... maybe Calvin Munson? Don't really see and potential in the dbs... After a look see at the practice squad and its a bunch of who?

When can Isaiah Bolden return?

He could use the experience.

He could use the experience.

He was put on IR before week 1, so he's out for the year (not eligible to return) unfortunately.

 

[DaBruinz]

JC Jackson haven't been good after the surgery and S Diggs just toys with him. Seems like a desperation move meh they are doing the Chargers a favor.

What else would you call it when a team is missing 4 of it's 5 top CBs? I call it desperation..

 

[DaBruinz]

Can't wait for the Homers rebuttal on this.

Rebuttal? To the fact that he's a 1yr rental at 1.5M for the rest of the year? *shrug*

can't/ out for the year

 

[DaBruinz]

Agreed. Jack "mysteriously" got hurt right after he got cleared.. IMO I think it's a team suspension.. just my thoughts.. however he's needed at CB.. he and JC could is definitely better than anything else.

You do realize that it's a violation of the CBA to put someone who isn't injured onto the IR, right? Jones would actually have a legitimate grievance against the Patriots because they would be inhibiting his career.

Maybe try thinking about things in terms of the CBA and whether or not the Patriots could be fined or lose draftpicks instead of just throwing things against a wall and calling it thinking.

 

[50-yard-line]

Wade and Bryant both have played okay. The defense didn’t suck against Dallas - the offense did. Hopefully the playing time will help Wade improve.

Jones, Jones, Jones, and Gonzo are all hurt. Even if Jack and Job are ready to go, the team is really thin. Good move to get Jc back.

But it’s a bandaid. This team remains in real trouble of a miserable year.

Chung's the only one that was worth much after returning.

And branch..

 

[Real fan 02]

One thing I'll say about JC he's a natural ball hawk.. we need turn overs on D.. we have been devoid of that this season...

 

[turkeyneck]

And branch..

And Branch. Missed him reading the list.

Bolden played excellently when he returned.
Ted Karras and Brian Hoyer played well in their returns.
So did TBC and Bennett.

JC coming back was a pretty much no brainer.. we know he can turn the ball over

 

[DaBruinz]

Looks like 1 from the IR and 2 from the PUP have started practicing.. So the 21 day clock starts.

Injury-ravaged Patriots get good news at Wednesday practice before Saints game

Based on Wednesday’s practice, it looks like help is coming for the Patriots.

"Offensive tackle Riley Reiff, defensive lineman Trey Flowers and safety Cody Davis were present for their first practice of the season. All three players missed the first four games of the season on injured reserve (Reiff) or the Physically Unable to Perform list (Flowers and Davis). Any of them could play as soon as Sunday."
