Game #10 Patriots vs Tennessee Titans 11/11/2018

Patriots Wednesday Live 11/7/2018:

Malcolm Butler has the worst rating of any starting CB in the NFL:

38 Receptions Against
631 Yards Allowed
7 Touchdowns Allowed

I don't think Vrabel was calling him out, I think he was sending him a public warning.

Also, this tidbit by Tom E Curran:

Prior to the 2017 season Malcolm Butler was offered a 5 year $42M contract with $25M guaranteed by the Patriots and heturned it down. The Patriots then signed FA Stephon Gilmore and Butler went beserk bitching to his team meates that Gilmore stole his payday when he signed a $65M contract with $30M guaranteed.

This also......Prior to being sat out of the Super Bowl, Butler's last three games were the worst of any CB that played during those three weeks on any team.

It's pretty apparent that Butler's confidence and his own mental condition have not been the same since Gilmore signed.

Poor fragile Malcolm.

I just can't understand all the fans that supported his play over the past couple seasons. I was constantly on here bitching about his lame ass. While others for some unknown reason kept telling me he wasn't the problem. He may not have been the only problem but he certainly wasn't the solution. I'm glad he turned down the offer.

And that's the guy people have been howling that BB wouldn't blow up his system for the last 9 months

Oh, Boston...

Oh, Boston...

Welcome back to practice, RB Rex Burkhead.

Burkhead is eligible to play on Dec. 2 vs. Vikings. This means Burkhead takes the Patriots’ second and final designated to return IR spot.

Confirms that LB Ja’Whaun Bentley won’t return until 2019 season.

That guy still had a better week at work than Malcolm Butler...

I read that in the paper today to my kid. He answered BB knows what he is doing.

Dislike, I really like Bentley (not that I'm sad to get Burkhead back)

All indications are that Gronk will not play this week. Hopefully his ankle will completely heal and not putting any hits or bodies on his back will alow him to finish the season up right.

Sony Michel is supposed to suit up and play. He was at pacticeon Wednesday but, like Gronk, he was wearing a red shirt. In case you don't know, a red shirt means "Do Not Touch Under Penlty of Death"

I was really hoping for a Bentley return. Oh well get healthy and see you next year young fellow.

I'm starting to think this could very possibly be Gronk's final season. If it is let's go out with a bang boys.

Starting left tackle Trent Brown, who missed the last two days of practice with an illness, is back on the practice field today.

I really don't mean to be the Debbie Downer here but is there any reason to believe that Burkhead won't simply get hurt again? Even when he hasn't been "hurt" he was dealing with nagging injuries.

You are correct with out a doubt with his history. Truth be told between the two I would like to get Bentley, he is fun to watch.

RT Jack Conklin won't play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. He was under concussion protocol. Dennis Kelly will start in Conklin's place.

A locker set up for WR Damoun Patterson here in the Patriots locker room. Would fill practice squad spot vacated by Josh Ferguson.

 

[BigKen]

Patriots have made a flurry of moves this week. Hope all of the pieces fit like their supposed to.

Gronk retires or gets traded!

This is good news.

 

[Southieinnc]

This is good news.

I understand he lost 40 pounds while sick and still the biggest OT in football!
