I don't think all the booze in the world could make me forget that cataclysmic disaster that occurred last night.
Of all the games this past week I most enjoyed the results of Colts vs. Texans. Definitely fun to see the colts reestablishing themselves, and doing well to distribute the ball even though the ground game struggled.
Here’s to hoping they don’t make you say that again and there can be a good team that comes out of the AFC North
PFF gave him a grade of 90 for the game and you wanna know why? Because despite going 9/20 with 145 yards, he had 6 dropped passes in the game, most of them were slated for gains of 20+ yards and one would've been a TD.
15/20 for 250-270 yards and a td suddenly looks a lot better doesn't it? It's clear that you didn't watch the game
I feel like it comes down more on the o-line than the skill players, just cause the line is there to create opportunities for success. However if Michel can't convert on opportunity then that's another thing and actually embarrassing
You guys are so frustrating to watch on offense as a neutral. Death by 1000 papercuts.
still a bum
its the complete lack of any explosive player for what is going on 2 years
Brady played great today but all there is to show for it is 3 rushing TDs for an extremely mediocre running back
Yo momma

Pretzels Sony Michel is extremely not mediocre and it's laughable that you'd make that argument to try and inflate the prowess of Tom Brady the literal greatest QB to play this stupid fucking sport.
And our skill position players outside of Tight End are... pretty fucking good actually?????
The genuine problem all season with this offense is the fact that our offensive line cannot block anything. Like not a single damn thing. And Brady and the rest of the Offense have to over compensate for such abysmally disastrous line play that it's honestly staggering they're able to put up as much points as they do.
Which really just goes to show HOW FUCKING MONSTROUSLY OBSCENE THIS DEFENSE IS BECAUSE CAN WE START TALKING ABOUT HOW ITS PRETTY CLEARLY ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT DEFENSES SINCE AT LEAST THE 00 RAVENS???? Lowkey using the Ravens as a benchmark is probably underselling it because this might be the best defensive performance of not just the free agency era but of the fucking Super Bowl era. What this defense is accomplishing is stupid amounts of ludicrous.

This so much. Remember whe everyone thought the cowboys and ravens and elite offenses to start the year? Then they actually played competent defenses and came back down to earth. The patriots defense has their schedule to thank more than anything else
Gives them more receiver help, which could make their offense that much better. However still doesn't fix the o-line problem, so it may not show as much in a statistical change for the offense.
If Wynn can stay healthy for more than 10 minutes the OLine should improve a lot when he comes off of IR
aint that some facts, that'd be like us crying over a terrible top half when we're one of the most stable orgs and have had 3 coaches in 50 years. "GOSH I JUST WANT A BETTER FRONT OFFICE" thats the patriots rn except its their team and they've won 6 rings in 20 years lol
Sony Michel averaged 1 YPC against the steelers when the offensive line had its best player. Hes the worst in the league at breaking tackles and his no pass game viability.
He'll be bad when Wynn gets back
Cuz he ain't good
They ran this defense in the playoffs and dominated.
I tried to tell ya'll in the offseason.
The secondary has the best corner, a top 10 corner and 2 top 20 corners. You can't throw on them.

“One game sample size of when we beat a team 33-3 because we had our best player because having one good player on an offensive line makes the other 4 better. Therefore the RB is bad.”
The Patriots have 25% of all carries regardless of back tackled at or behind the line of scrimmage. That’s 3rd worst in the league. Our LT coming back doesn’t fix that and no RB can see success consistent sustained success behind that. The Patriots are also 10th worst at converting 2 or less yards to go on third and fourth downs or from two yards out of the end zone no matter the down (football outsiders Power Success stat btw). The line across the board cannot block. Michel is fine. The fact that he averages 3.3 a carry is a fucking magic trick. I just wish I could find his yards after contact numbers for this year.
