Umm Zeke IS the backup. Plain and simple. He is there to keep Stevenson fresh.

IMO he be great for pass protection and catches out of the backfield.. I don’t see him running the ball much I am thinking third down RB.. and yes Stevensons is a beast but they needed someone else in there to take the Carrie’s down for him.

Lol I think every fan base feels that way about the local color guy for an opposing team. Solan is a pretty smart guy but he is DEEPLY invested into the Pats, he usually knows things before writers with the team. (Not always but it’s scary how often he does) as for Sanderson he was a huge homer.

Lol that was a hard game to watch. The most exciting Offensive thing to happen was seeing Malik look like the true 3rd string QB and perhaps second string after seeing Shorty Zappe fail miserably behind a GOD AWFUL line. The rookie D players for NE looked good, but any why couldn’t the Pats draft Tank? If for no other reason his name alone!!! Lol

Lmao your Jelly is showing! (I kid) but come on man! No one going out that down! That’s nothing compared to what Cromartie had/ha 14 kids so his payments are high and well his pull out skill is obviously BAD!

First, you have to be miserable to be a Jets fan, it’s a requirement for admission. Lol Second I expect the Bills to blow the doors off of the Jets week 1. I see 4 INT with 1 returned for a pick 6. The Bills shock the Jets and run all over them for almost 300 yards between cook, and Harris with Allen scrambling for like 40 yards. Final score? Bills 27 Jets 10

I would say here and Forums.colts.com use to be very good but it really has gotten slow in there now very few people post regularly anymore.

Hmmm I bet Mayfield excels in Buffalo and Allen would be the footnote.. Think about how good Mayfield looked his rookie year with a terrible team around him. mind you I think Allen Benifited from a better run organization than Mayfield at the time he was chosen.

They are but they were not first round picks Jimmy was a late 2nd and Brissett was a late third. It shows he still could evaluate talent later in his career. The one thing he ALWAYS stunk at evaluating was/is WR talent. Which when you don’t have a top tier or GOAT at QB you need at least 1 elite WR. Lol I hope you send flowers to Asante Samual for that! I was so ticked when he dropped that INT..

Brady was a large part of the success. What people forget sadly is: cassell: went 11-5 with him as the starter. JImmy G/ Jacoby Brissett: Went 3-1 and the 1 loss Brissett the 3rd string QB had a broken thumb. My point is he went 14-6 when Brady was out. IMO like Brady, Father Time has caught up to BB as well. I believe change will happen but not for another year.

I am just not sold on Rogers. I think if things dont click right away he starts sulking and giving half efforts AGAIN. As for the Jets is there a QB they ever had that was truly good. they kill QBs like the browns kill football careers. (Do not mention Namath, IMO he is the most over rated ever!)

LOL it would have been embarrassing because they had a rookie Skylar(?) Thompson playing QB for them and he was a 7th rounder at that. Ok think of it like this if Buffalo had lost Allen as well as your backup QB and were down to some rookie you never heard of and came within 3 points of beating KC. Would you say that the teams are pretty close talent wise and that the QB factor was the deciding fact in the loss and if you had Allen you would have won easily? (Thats what most NON Bills fan see in that WC Game.) Mind you that was the second week in a row I thought Buffalo just looked tired and slow. I mean they let NE hang around and well my Pats absolutely stunk last year. In the end anyone look at the two squads and on O your close to even with QB the Bills have an edge but WR the Phins have the edge. The gap is closed for now. Valid points, I think they beefed up their D this year if I am remembering their moves correctly. I still think they will be good on 0 as long as Tua stays healthy. I just don't know if he can.

Miami goes as far as Tua takes them. You pull all these stats and thump your chest about beating them stats wise.. meanwhile on the scoreboard the games were very close both under 7 points. like the Bills had twice the number of yards than Miami in week 3 but scored only 19 points and lost… ok it was disgustingly hot.. but 19 points with over 400 yards… that’s hard to do. lmao your going bring up the wildcard game where they had what a 3rd string QB playing? And yet the Bills at home barely bet them by 3 points? point is they are a very talented team and you could have lost to them in the playoffs, which would have been embarrassing.

They are. I figure they beat the Jets and Cowboys.. have a dogfight with the Eagles. (Only because it’s Brady day for the opener) and have their typical bad game in Miami. So I expect 2-2 or 1-3 to start.. if they managed a 3-1 start (pull off a huge upset against Eagles) I’d be shocked.

First, division games are always tough. They barely lost to Rogers with a BACKUP QB playing last year and with no true OC. The Jets D plays just well enough to lose and I have faith they will continue do just that. As for the Dolphins their whole team rides on Tua’s health. He stays healthy they challenge Buffalo for the division.. I don’t see him staying healthy and that’s not his fault the O line is still bad there. Buffalo is Buffalo right now and I wasn’t expecting a win against them.. I expect a 3-3 in the division. I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first time, but like I said to begin for him to get fired he would have to have a 2-15 type season.. and he is still to good of a coach let that happen.

I am expecting 9 at a minimum this year for wins. I expect the D to be too 5 this year, and have my fingers crossed the O can be between 15th to 20th in the NFL.. do that and 9 wins should be easily attainable. I say this because last year, with a terrible O and a D that was not good against good QBs they lost 5 games by 7 or less. Two of those against good QBs in Bengals, Packers and 1 with a freak WR in the Vikings. My point is as HORRIBLE as that team was last year they easily could have won 9 or 10 games, heck even week 18 was competitive against the Bills.. I dare say I was afraid they may win it but thankfully the kick return team wanted early vacation.

Good post! A few things though. BB is only 19 wins away from the all time wins record, what you showed was just the regular season wins. When you add in playoffs he is 19 away. (So he will probably get the wins and loss record the same year) Kraft has already stated he wants BB to get the wins record as the Patriots coach. They not like eachother but Kraft likes historic things happening with his team(s). Ugh a lot of Pats fans never knew what it was like NOT to be in the AFCCG game practically every year. Think about it anyone under 40 has only really seen success and are spoiled. The only fans lost were never truly fans they were just front runner fans.. aka band wagoners. Boston Market is very tough, but the Red Sox are garbage, the Bruins are going to be in a full rebuild with Bergy and Krecji retiring. So as long as the Pats are competitive then BB be fine and the team one of the top 2. He can not have a repeat of last years team. (While a game away from making the playoffs the team was terrible) BB IMO has 2 years to break the record then Mayo is going to be HC. I think that’s why Mayo stayed. Kraft told him that BB has 2 more years then it’s his job.

I want them be good. If they are competitive and fun to watch (unlike last year) I’ll gladly give him one more for the record then bring on Mayo.

Confused… how is it bad coaching when your players openly admit they did something stupid and they were even told not to do in the Vegas game? How is it bad coaching when the player doesn’t have common sense to protect the dang ball near the goal line? How is it bad coaching when players are in position but fail to make the tackle? That’s just poor playing on the players part. Now last year I was giddy happy they didn’t squeak into the playoffs because that meant he would be forced to remove dumb and dumber from coaching the O. Now that was arrogant on his part. Now let’s look at Cleveland. He took over a team that was 3-13. His first year improved that to 6-10.. followed by two 7-9 years. Meh at best.. the NEXT year it all came together and they went 11-5 and made the playoffs and won a playoff game! the next year Modell announced before the season they were moving the team and they fell flat on their face at 5-11. Most would blame the owner for that but hey BB was the HC and got fired for it. I also notice you fail to mention he went 11-5 and 3-1 when Brady was unavailable either from injury or suspension. I was most impressed with the 3-1 as he went 1-1 with a rookie QB who was not ready for prime time at all. My point is he is/was a great HC if not the greatest. IMO he is now 70 and he doesn’t have the passion and or stamina for it anymore.

I was counting playoffs. He needs 18 more wins to tie and 19 to break the all time win record, including playoffs. I THINK he can do that in 2 years. He won’t coach long enough to get 30 more wins in NE or anywhere else.

OMG! You sound like one of the talking heads. First who care what he did in Cleveland.. a lot of coaches fail their first try.. without Brady he is roughly .500 BUT if they don’t go SUOER NOVA stupid in Vegas or don’t blow the game against GB or I don’t know stop Buffalo from returning 2 kickoffs for TDs.. he makes the playoffs 2-3 years without Brady and if a certain QB didn’t fumble the ball in 3 separate games on the 2 yard line they make it 3 out of 3 years. My point? With Brady they could survive some mistakes without they can not.. (mind you last year was on him)

BB will leave as soon as he sets the record. (Probably next year) He will retire and they will name Mayo as the new HC. They are not going to fire him unless they go like 2-14.

Difference is Rogers >>>> Wilson. Mind you the Jets are SB or bust and I expect a huge bust. I don’t expect them to make the playoffs either.

I wasn’t talking jail time.. I’m talking she should have to suffer consequences that last just as long like for example say her salary is garnished 25% for 10 years and given to him.. our jails should be for violent criminals not stupid kids like this. But her penalty should last as long as his jail time could have is my point.

so she had an excuse MAYBE to lie. That’s just some large horse pucks there. The fact is she ruined the reputation and possibly career of someone for her own SELFISH reasons and she could have gotten a person sent to jail for a long time for something they didn’t do! There is no good excuse for what she did, she should have to face serious penalties for the entire length of time he may have had to serve in jail.
