eball Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The Pats*** are going to be a handful, and painful to play and watch. They’ll be the 2nd best team in the division, not Miami. I still think Buffalo beats them because of Josh, but the games will likely be ugly. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Dammit... Was really looking forward to Cam running the Pats into the ground some more :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivers the ball quickly and on time and what's impressed me the most is his arm strength looks good on those 10-15 yard crosses. Cam Newton looked awful. I actually think the Patriots are very firmly more of a threat to the Bills than the Dolphins and it wouldn't shock me if the Dolphins actually finish last in the AFCE. I think Wilson will look much better this year than people are prepared for, and will outshine Tua by leaps and bounds. Agree, but unless I've missed it, I have not seen him throwing ropes on deep outs outside the numbers. Good QBs can do that, and it really opens up an offense. Don't get me wrong; NE's run game is probably going to be elite so they're going to be a tough out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pats I still expect to win 10-12 games mostly because of the D. oh most importantly, the Pats should have a top end O line. There is no doubt they are going to be a top 10 D. Lots of smash mouth football coming. We still haven’t seen the new TEs yet in the offense. NE has been “hiding” them. I’m going to have the Miami game on a second screen opening week. Should be interesting to see the match up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lets get one thing out of the way, Beasley is a better WR at this stage of his career than Cam is a QB. BUT...they have very similar cap hits if they were to be cut. Maybe don't be shocked if Beasley is cut given McKenzies new vaccination and Stevenson in pre-season? (although I would not put money on it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie's ire Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Vet...one year deal....doubt anyone else wants him. Any chance they'll be re-signing him in a couple of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If both our games against the Pats weren't so late in the season, I'd say they should pull a Lawyer Milloy & sign him just for a bit of inside info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If Jones gets dinged up there season is over. New England could still bring Newton back on a backroom type deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 He's a bum, never liked him or his antics and always thought he was way over rated. He also was never the same and deteriorated fasted after the fumble he didn't dive on in the SB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't even gonna try to do that in their offense. They've loaded up on TEs and power backs, everything will be between the hashes. Guess who'll need to step up when we play them?

He was actually having the best season of his career in 2018 but midway through the season had a rotator cuff injury which he has never recovered from. That shoulder injury is why he can't make throws anymore. It took away a core part of his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be alright, i don't think he has a "great" season though. Teams blitz young QBs, and they are traditionally really inconsistent. They'll likely lose a couple they should win, and hover around the .500 area give or take a game or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
