Patriots offense is top 10
and defense is not?
and defense is not?
Last week it was more of a bad defensive scheme I think? At least I hope? They didn't collapse the pocket or put much pressure on Wilson which ended up biting them in the ass. But as soon as you give up containment RW burns you. So you're damned if you do and damned if you don't?From what I’ve seen this season, same as it ever was. A Defense that can win or lose a game. The Pats D can be gritty in the trenches, but they concede huge plays. We’ve seen this before.
It’s giving up the big plays that bother most. For example, 3rd and 25 and you know they are going to burn the Pats for 30 or a DPI. Same old story.Last week it was more of a bad defensive scheme I think? At least I hope? They didn't collapse the pocket or put much pressure on Wilson which ended up biting them in the ass.

Should see more of what we saw week one against Carr?
Got to get pressure on those QBs. I'm with you watched them getting burned for years (see Butler's tape) may as well sell the farm and blitz. But I think the DBs are some of the best we've had in a long time. They'll be fine once the front 7 get going. LBs are doing their job they just need more blitz opportunities. NE is a little light in the ass on the Dline that's not helping. has always been a strong suit.It’s giving up the big plays that bother most.

It's something I am not worried about at this time. I think total team D is 11th? Not like we haven't been there before, I trust the Gilomore will be fine.I see why the defense might not be in the Top 10. Gilmore is getting his ass beat!

I expect we/ll do better. The position is ckewed by one bad game in small sample size.It's something I am not worried about at this time. I think total team D is 11th? Not like we haven't been there before, I trust the Gilomore will be fine.
In BB we trust?I’m not sure where to even start on how to fix this team.... Going back to the end of last year and the start of this year, the Patriots are 4-7 in their last 11 games. That’s Jets/Dolphins brand of football right there. Besides of couple O-Lineman, who do we have on offense that’s even really good? Maybe Damien Harris??? Edelman isn’t what he was. No WR’s. No TE’s. A group of average RB’s. QB’s.... no. Sorry to be a “Debbie Downer”, but I hope the Patriots have a plan in place for next years team.
You under estimate the chances the Pats had after 2000. Okay, I'm not saying they win 6 or even 1 Super Bowl, but dreadful history changed with Kraft.For those of you who were not around prior to 2000, you have little or no idea what fans suffered through for the fist forty years.
We were screwed by a corrupt official in 1976 and he admitted it after retiring that he was a Raiders fan made a false call of a late on Hamilton that gave the Raiders a first down when the Patriots had stopped them on fourth down.
The only other bright years were the Slaughter of 1985 to the Flash in the Pan Bears and 1997 when Bill Parcells sold the team down the River against the packers and took a plane back to New York while the team wondered what the hell happened.
You've all become so used to winning, that having to suffer for a year or two is beyond your comprehension.
If Belichick had decided to stay with the Jets,what do think the past twenty years might have been like? By an absolute stroke of luck BB took a freaky slow QB with the 199th pick of the 1999 Draft and hit the mother lode. Would he have done the same in New York? No. The jets had their team and if BB had stayed, NFL history would be a hell of a lot different.
Here we are in 2020 and we're surrounded by arm chair experts who see nothing but despair You forget that in 2000 this team was 5-11 with a star QB named Drew Bledsoe. Everyone is looking at QB named Stidham and are ready to toss him on the trash pile. He has not started a single game. He opportunities have come in games that the team has been behind and he's tried to resurrect form the dead. 1 TD and 3 INT is all that anyone looks at. How about gibing him reps with the first team and sending him with a clean slate and seeing what he can do without perverted pressure?
We haven't had the entire OL together for a single game and for the last two have had backups and practice squad players thrown on the field without a full day of practice. Well folks, for the first time since the third week of September the Patriots have the whole OL and all of the rest of team together and they've had three days of practice for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If they shit the bed this week, then it's time to think "Rebuild" and sell some of the pieces like Harry and Thuney and pick up some extra draft picks and start moving forward. But let's do it giving every guy on the roister and PS a chance to play and make an informed decision. If the patriots destroy them, then don't do anything stupid. We've lost the third round pick because of the Bengals film bull. They will pick thirds for Brady, Van Noy and Collins and probably another fifth or sixth. I hope they don't pick up any rentalsfor more than a sixth or seventh rounder.
