Willie Macs opinion always carries weight.
I don't understand the pessimism some people have.
The defense is deeper and has had major and minor additions all around and should improve further from a unit that was already among the best teams in terms of points allowed.
Overall the offense looks not much weaker than last year and as long as the chess pieces stay healthy will again end up among the best 3-5. Can't wait to see how Josh uses Patterson and Sony.
I am thinking 14-2 but 13-3 seems more appropriate with how we usually have 1-2 brainfart games and then maybe 1-2 meaningless games at the end.
They were among the best in points allowed until they **** the bed in the SB. I do not expect that this year will be any better then the D we saw in the SB. Our O is not stacked and 1 or 2 injuries could kill us.
I don't see rookie deals as the reason DA or Hogs played on SB52.
Your overall point makes sense.So Cooks and Mitchell being on rookie deals had no impact on the Pats being able to keep a deeper bench of WRs in both those years? Interesting POV.
So affordability across the span of the cap at a given position isn't a consideration for the Patriots in your view? I would posit it absolutely is as they build a roster, having a left and right limit to what they want and can spend and still field the rest of the roster (also with depth) as well.
My point is Mitchell and Cooks rookie deals did not enable BB to pay DA, Hogs and to a lesser extent Jules as their respective contracts were cheap to begin with.
What injuries in 2018? All the contracts were in place?Guess we disagree then because having five deep is directly attributable to that style cap management both in having the rookie deals available as well as having a ceiling on how much to pay WRs as a whole group. The stable he had coming into camp was set up similarly - injuries just derailed the plan.
The only mitigation? Predicting the future - obviously not in BB's bag of tricks.
What team has a wr5 that is any good?What injuries in 2018? All the contracts were in place?
A majority of NFL teams are 5 deep at WR.

Hansen probably is a typical 5.
Which have nothing to do with Jules, DA and Hogs in 2016-2017Matthews and Britt - both released for injury. There's your five.

I asked you to define goodOur wr5 is Hansen.
But you aren’t answering the question.
And I said define it however you want.I asked you to define good
A player that can make catches and help in the running game.And I said define it however you want.
I guess from all your ojida over WRs in would be better than Patterson and Dorsett and Hansen.
I’m asking you which teams have good wr5s in response to you saying a majority of nfl teams are 5 deep at WR.A player that can make catches and help in the running game.
Hansen, Patterson and Dorsett MIGHT be good here.
