New England’s D-Line quietly got better.

How about a run game whose biggest threat is the QB?

That’s like saying if someone broke a bone in their foot they wouldn’t try to walk it off. Sometimes you’re trying to figure out exactly what’s wrong and how bad it is. These guys are tough as hell.

Between the performances of Hamler and MVS and the injuries to Hollins and Claypool, the cuts are the easy part. It’s the keeps that are lacking.

What kind of doctor would speculate to the general public regarding someone’s medical condition based on nothing more than 25 seconds of cell phone video shot from 50 yards away, though?

These camera chasing Drs. are all idiots. David Chao is the worst.

That’s a myth. Sports books don’t try to get the public to split their bets equally. They hope that it happens that way, but that’s not how they set lines. If they did, the professional gamblers would crush them. Vegas thinks he’ll throw for 3700-3750 yards. If the top actuarial minds really thought the number would be 4100, you’d have whales come in and place huge bets.

If you somehow knew that the Patriots and Dolphins had zero chance of winning the division, you would bet say $100 on the Jets and $100 on the Bills. You would lose one of those bets and win the other. The winning bet would return your $100 and pay $180 in winnings. Your $200 worth of wagers would return $280.

Then the play would be to put an equal amount on the Jets and Bills and lock in a 40% return regardless of who wins.

DraftKings has Jets +180, Bills +180, Dolphins +200 to win the division.

It’s cool that you literally didn’t watch the game but you think you know more about it than someone who did. You read the thread. It was clear from the comments that he was terrible. You asked the question hoping to get a different answer, but you got the truth instead. He had two full-on shanks. That’s a bad day for a punter.

He had at least two that were terrible. One was a shank that wound up bouncing and rolling for enough yards to make it look decent in the box score, but it was a complete mis-hit. The other was so short that the cameraman got lost trying to find it. When they finally did, Chicago had the ball on the Buffalo 37.

He was abysmal.

Doesn’t help that he’s only 5’9, either.

That’s like saying a defender didn’t get a rebound because he was boxed out. If you’re a contested catch guy, it’s your job to not let the DB get in front of you.

Cheap shot, WTF? He should be ejected.

His knees are beyond shot. He would get them drained on the sidelines during games in 2022. If you can’t make the Patriots as a WR, you’re toast.

That’s true, but it’s also because they’re stuck in QB purgatory with Carr. If they were to hit on a rookie (say Rattler turns out to be a stud), they’ll be fine.

It’s not hard to realize at all. In fact, it was literally the point of my post.

What’s the variety in Brady’s offense? Josh had 48 rushing attempts (including kneel downs) in the 10 games under Dorsey. He had 58 in the last 6 games under Brady and 20 more in the 2 playoff games. It’s no revelation that running Josh more is a boost for the offense in the short term. It’s just a matter of whether or not you want to expose him to the extra wear and tear that it entails. I’m sure Dorsey’s offense would have looked better if he had run Josh twice as much, but he was constrained by the organizational philosophy that seemingly didn’t apply to Brady.

I’ve had it for years and love it. Being able to watch the condensed versions of games (about 35-45 minutes long) is great. It’s well worth the money.

How many years in a row have they said that, though? Ideal or not, it’s such a huge part of his game that limiting him is a serious impediment to the offense.

I agree. So many here are like “yeah Diggs put up 1200 yards and 8 TDs, but that’s only because he got 160 targets. Meanwhile, Aiyuk put up 1350 yards and 7 TDs on 105 targets. He put up WR1 numbers with incredible efficiency. Compare that to Amon Ra who just got 4/$120 million after putting up 1500 yards and 10 TDs, but it took him 164 targets to get there.

Aiyuk’s career trajectory has been that of a rocket ship. 748 yards, 826 yards, 1015 yards, 1342 yards, and his targets haven’t really changed. He only got 105 last season. That’s nearly 13 yards per target which is absolutely incredible for someone who gets a high volume of passes his way.

Well his first season was in 2016, and his first win against the Chiefs in his career was their second meeting last year…
