Well, I personally think it's pretty silly for fans to think that Bill Belichick isn't a great coach. Yeah, if you remove 20 of his best seasons and all the Superbowls his team went to, yeah, he wasn't that great. Almost all of the great coaches also had a great QB. But, I'll agree that Brady was the primary reason the Pats were great. Doesn't matter how good of a coach you are if you don't have a good QB.

Well... sure. So why was he not willing to put the work in to getting in shape before? And no matter how to look at it, it's a benefit to be in shape, athletically gifted, and physically dominant. So all those players who came into the league WITH that have a leg up on the guys who didn't. You can compare him to Brady all you want, but those were vastly different times when Brady came into the league. Players did not prepare for the combine then like they do today. But, as with any player, we'll see how he does. But expect for opposing team's fans to continue to make fun of Jones and any other QB you have until they prove that they can play. Many fans have been looking forward to the Pats without Brady for a long, long time.

Fascinating read. That all time sack leader list has a lot of new names on it. And "Bubba" Baker technically has the record for single season sacks with 23, in his rookie year, no less.

I voted Andre Roberts. I've been rewatching the games from 2020. That dude was a consistent difference maker on special teams. I'm really interested to see who takes his place. Obviously, it's not rocket science. A lot of guys can return. But it was nice not having to really worry about the returner making a boneheaded decision. Roberts almost always made the right decision, and he rarely muffed it or turned the ball over.

There's an extra game this year, so the rushing yardage totals might even go up for Allen, but I doubt he leads the team. Singletary and Moss both outrushed Allen in a year where our running game was pretty disappointing. I see no reason why at least one of them won't outrush Allen again this year.

Don't forget the decrease in the cap. Nobody could have foreseen that. If the cap would have increased instead, like it normally does, the Bills would have been in a good position to add a couple key contributors.

But why would anyone say he is worth that?

Why would Edmunds be paid as the top linebacker in the league? He and his agent would not be expecting that kind of money.

Singletary is our best running back, in my opinion.

Don't coaches get called by their first name all the time?

It's also a duplicate thread of one that got locked.

This again?

Oh man, we sure don't like his opinion. Ban him! Cut him! Delete his Twitter! Rabble, rabble, rabble!

Sounds like he is following the protocol. That's great news. He is getting tested daily.

Yeah, I know it's not effective, but Ben is going to get rid of the ball if he thinks he will get hit, regardless of effectiveness. He isn't the Big Ben of 2010 anymore where he can make throws with defenders hanging on him, or shrugging off defenders to extend the play.

Ben throws the ball in like 1 second these days. Doesn't always get much out of it, but he isn't going to take a beating. He'd rather lose than get hit a bunch of times. Can't call him "Big Ben" anymore? Should it be "Skinny Ben"?

Those are some rose colored glasses. 10 or 11 wins? I don't see that. Maybe 8 or 9.

I just watch it for a completely different reason. I want to see the new additions in action and I want to see how depth players are developing.

I think this topic has been discussed to death.

Won't stop them from trying and making those claims.

So we are sure he was not on the injury report?

My hope is a defensive lineman. Ed Oliver would be great. Or one of the young edge rushers. But I'll guess Devin Singletary.

I'm glad Ray didn't come through. That wouldn't have been good.

They are basically the same except Knox has an up side. I really don't understand the point. Do you think good teams don't have average players? Are they supposed to be all pro bowlers? Average players are depth on good teams. His numbers are not impressive. He's not a starter. The only reason people are excited is because he went to school with Allen and people are sick of Knox. Again, I'm not saying Knox is great. He hasn't been great. His numbers are also unimpressive. Ideally, I'd like a better TE than both of them.

I don't think it is interesting, actually. He is a depth TE. Average TE's are good to have on your team. Better than bad TE's.
