The great and supposedly inevitable Ravens are on the Patriots schedule

It just looks right seeing the flags flying to help NE in a close game in NE

Well, it's a game... Anyone up for some more holiday mixed nuts talk?

Beane and McDermott want to build the 2015 Panthers. Beane has mentioned that team specifically in comments, which proves it's on their minds. IMO the see Josh as a version of Cam, only this time they won't ruin his career by having him take too much of a beating early on. That sort of explains most of their philosophy. The only major difference is they have never found their MLB equivalent. Other than that, they want a superman QB, jags at WR, and lots of resources spent on defense so they can scheme it up. McDermott is distancing himself from Beane so he can avoid the blame, but I think it's clear as day where the philosophy comes from.

Ravens have some tough games coming up, including 2 Burrow Bengals games, Patriots, Packers, and Steelers twice if you want it (Pittsburgh always plays them tough even when they're bad) Every one of those teams will be playing all out to win because they need the W's for division races, seeding, etc. It's no guarantee that the Ravens suddenly became inevitable If they are some juggernaut and beat all those AFC teams then it just helps us

Trade 3 first round picks to the Rams for McVay. He would love the snow up here

I used to be a huge Marty fan and defended him all over the place. The Football Life episode on him was awesome. It showed that Chargers/Patriots playoff game where Brady threw the game ending INT but the idiot Chargers DB started running with it, fumbled, and NE got it back and went on to win. The kicker was they showed footage of Marty pre-game saying to that very same player "when you catch the game winning INT, just go down and don't go running all around!" Both laughed. In the end, the guy did exactly what they coach joked about not doing, and it's the final example of "Marty can't win the big games" It's cruel irony.

Daboll's Giants team is an example of mindless aggression. It plays VERY well with football players, who want to hit, attack, be aggressive, etc. And there is a time and place. But it also leads to needless injuries (Dart has had like 12 concussions in 5 games or something) and also turnovers and sloppiness. When it does work it looks great and seems like fun, but it's out of control and now the rookie QB has serious injury concerns halfway through his first season. You want controlled aggression like the Lions or Eagles. Not pedal to the medal hell or high water approach.

the Bucs are so freaking toast this week... I would be absolutely shocked if the Bills didn't win this game by 10+ points, but they absolutely will win it.

Patriots will lose to Green Bay and or the Ravens We'll have a chance to pass them by

Plus what else could McDermott say? Yes, I'm thinking about firing my OC mid season and hiring a guy I didn't get along with but I'm not sure if I want him here or if he would come back. If that doesn't happen we'll probably stick with Joe.

If he wore a Waddle jersey it would have been legendary

Anyone buy the story that McDermott really wanted/wants WR help and is frustrated with Beane? I think this is the offense McDermott wants in terms of philosophy. Low event football. It works a lot especially because there is a lot of awful football played around the league.

Thanksgiving vs the Ravens is the goal apparently That AFC North race is going to be fun to watch If Bengals beat the Steelers this week their NE game is not that important because they have the Ravens twice and Baltimore has so many losses already that they'll be playing for a real shot at the division

Love is very up and down. He reminds me of Fitz. When he's on he's close to unstoppable but when he's off he is a mess.
