Now the revised job reports matter? Pretty sure you pushed back on every Biden job revision.

I think this is a fair analysis. I see the offensive effort as more nuanced - I think there are defensive coverages we've perforated like swiss cheese, and defensive coverages we've struggled against. I think we've given our best effort at times. I also respect Vrabel as a coach, and I believe McDermott won't spare any effort to ensure the team is ready to play.

I can find the same sentiment in your article. “Then in 2023 and 2024, a tech-fueled earnings recovery and the artificial-intelligence frenzy propelled U.S. stocks to historic levels. The S&P 500 scored back-to-back double-digit annual gains by the end of 2024 — and is now kicking off its third year in a bull market.”

Because they are having the same issues. Yes, I agree we have our own problems. #1 is illegal immigration. Get rid of them.

Yeah i didn’t see that game. Thats why i said supposedly, because some NFL experts on TV were talking about it. Could have been game situation, i dont know? Maybe Carolina broke off a few chunk runs when the game was in full control and NE was protecting against the bomb.

Moore at least has the potential since he can separate and run routes but he hasn’t done much of anything yet. That’s what happens when you take other teams retreads. Palmer, Samuel, Moore are all guys who didn’t rise on the teams they were on and even if I like that Moore and Palmer create separation they’re not going to ever be difference makers. Shakir is and even though Coleman can’t separate, he’s got some dog in him that encourages me to think he will be a Tee Higgins type WR the more he develops. In the end we need to start taking more chances on WRs in the draft instead of the jags since our FO will never pay big money for a true #1 (and I’m fine with that as long as they take more chances in the draft since there’s always a chance you hit on a game changer that way)

Take a look at your 401k from 2020-2024. I lost money for a while. It grew much more previously along with everyone I know. Great, you found a CNN article that puts parts in there you like. I post something from Market Watch….no comment?

Great. Thanks for the info. Now why should American media worry about what going on over their? We got enough of our own ***** going on don't you think?

Despite the white house propaganda machine, 17% more americans blame trump than democrats for the shutdown. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5534532-poll-shutdown-trump-republicans-blame/

In your experience, how many new stadium construction projects are at 100% completion contractually even though the facility is ready to be played in? I imagine there are project elements that don’t involve the building itself at all, like landscaping etc.

Its true James Cook has now stolen the juice😡

Our office was in the same building as the turf company that did a lot of fields including the Cowboys.. they had Haley in there for some reason and I met.. shook his hand. Had no idea who he was.. looked him after and I've tried to wash and scrub that hand.. it will never be clean again.

To me this is the hardest game to predict so far. I could see them beating us by a hair if everything goes right for them, but I could also see us winning by 20. The Pats are going to give us their best shot and I believe in Vrabel as a coach. But I also think we've had this game circled since before the season and they're going to get our best shot back. Our offense hasn't given any team their best shot since the 4th quarter of the Ravens game. We've been rolling out of bed and lazily moving the ball down the field, and only turning it on when absolutely necessary. We've called variations of like 5 different plays and kept the rest of the playbook under wraps. My hunch is that this week we empty the bag and I don't think the Pats have enough talent on defense to stop us at our best. So it comes down to can our defense finally fix its situational problems on 3rd downs and in the red zone? Pats have a poor run offense, we have a poor run defense. What happens when a highly movable object meets an easily stoppable force? That matchup of bad vs bad might decide the margin of victory in this game.

Hyperbole? I included videos of it happening and muslims thoughts on sharia law lol. Like i said i expect non answer and deflections. Weak.

You happy with -35,000 jobs in one month?

I think our MO has been being driven by what teams show us. If NE plays man and we can beat their coverage, we'll throw. We seem to be struggling against zone, whether by play design or receiver ability to read and react, unclear.

This idea Vrabel has McD's number is not really accurate. The Titans were a bad matchup for the Bills not because they were masterfully coached (I would classify Vrable as an OK coach) but because they had two components that were a bad matchup for the Bills. Derrick Henry and a strong interior D-line. In the early Josh era 2020-2022 the Bills interior O-line was ok to mediocre and the Titans had Simmons and other good DT's that were among the better DT units in the league. And as you mentioned the Bills in that matchup were still 3-2 despite the mismatch.

When has he been good? He’s not an actual WR that can run routes he’s a gimmick/gadget guy. Just look at the one route he broke off to try and get open for Josh he completely bift it.

Bills 34 Patriots 28 We score 30+ yet again and pull out another win. The DEF will continue to flounder playing well enough to win but not to cover the spread

That would be why CAR ran for 129 yds (4.6 ypc) against them? They shut down the Raiders, Dolphins, and Steelers I'll give them that, but the Dolphins and Steelers haven't had much luck running on anyone. The Raiders hadn't had much luck until they played Da Bears and would have won handily if Geno Smith wasn't throwing it to the wrong uniform.

The vibe here in B'more is "once the Ravens get healthy" the schedule gets less daunting and they should be able to go on a 8-9 game run to make the playoffs. On face value, I have no issue with that, IF, they can get healthy. But healthy is relative as guys fall to injury all season long. So will they ever be 'healthy'????

Whose asking for all this lgbtq ***** in the first place?

Not sure if anyone on the board leans as much on metrics to assess the NFL as you. Sure, it's safe to fixate on analytics and base your beliefs around that, but as @DrDawkinstein and @Coach Tuesday have noted, there's a human element in play here that metrics will never capture. Put yourself in Vrabel's shoes for a minute preparing this team for the game. This is NE's and his first big test against one of the Conference's best teams. Yeah, he'll want to, as those other 2 posters noted, make a statement. Not saying they'll win, but I expect they'll be prepared and motivated. Never doubt a person or people who are like that because they can surprise you. You can also throw out Babich's ranks in 2024 or what McDaniels did with Mac Jones (!) and in previous coaching stops. Has absolutely zero relevancy to Week 5 of the NFL season in a primetime game.

I'm thinking this is one of those matchups where I want them to throw to set up the run. Come out throwing. I know it hasnt been our recent MO, but I think we do it here out of the gate. 9 of the first 10 plays are passing plays. That kinda day.
