Assuming for a second the Pats wins this one, you could argue that they could easily be 7-2. The rest of their schedule ain’t that hard, and 10-6 is a real possibility. There’s your answer.

4 times, not 3.

Disagree. Allen is awesome. Elite player. But today was not a good day. He should have thrown 4 easy picks. Peterson dropped two. And that throw to singletary was ridiculous. He looked lost for much of the second half. He still picked himself up from the mat and had a great final drive (with some help from beasley). But it was not his finest effort.

On the replay, the ball had actually hit the ground before he made the hit. Tough but fair call. Stupid play by singletary.

Why the insult? Come on, peter.

Fair. That said, I remain in awe of how good Hopkins is. Might be the worst trade of the decade.

36” vertical to 32”. 6’1 to 5’11. Bigger wingspan. Strongest hands in the league. Do the math.

See above. Wingspan of a 6’8”-6’9” person. Measured height is really deceiving when it comes to leaping sports. And he is two inches taller and had a 36” vertical to tre’s 32” vertical. Come on, folks. Accept that what happened was a great play by an elite player.

I have no idea what your point is.

Do some research on his wingspan. In sports that require leaping, your height is defined by wingspan. It’s why 6’10” hakeem olajuwon was taller than all of the seven footers he played against.

It was over his hands. Did people not watch the play or not have an awareness of hopkins’ amazing wingspan?

For those who appear to be unaware: “First, Belichick, like everyone you ask, brought up Hopkins' hands. They're arguably the strongest in the league and they're long. He wears size XXXXL gloves. ... He's been told he has a wingspan of a person who is 6-8 or 6-9.” https://www.nfl.com/news/anatomy-of-nfl-s-wr1-what-makes-deandre-hopkins-great-0ap3000001007648 For those who appear to be unaware: “First, Belichick, like everyone you ask, brought up Hopkins' hands.

He is taller. And he is the best receiver in the NFL. Again, he is the best receiver in the league. Great players make great plays. Hats off.

I agree! But i have very high expectations for josh now and that was not a good game.

He was outjumped because hopkins is a lot taller and has a huge wingspan. Can’t do much about that.

Allen had a bad game. He looked confused most of the second half and should have had 4 picks.

Had the same feeling!

The hottest!

No he didn’t. Christ. It was over him. Hopkins is taller and just as importantly has really long arms.

They couldn’t swat it. Only hopkins, who is taller than all of them and has crazy long arms and a great vertical, could get at it. Amazin play. Hats off.

It was a perfect play.

Miami has to play in buffalo in january, so no.

Me either. Perfect defense. Great player made a great play.

Hand it to them. It was an amazing play.

Great plays by great players. What are you gonna do?
