    Congrats on a great game

    Newton only joined the Pats 2 months ago, and Edelman is not quite healthy yet, so there's a lot to look forward to. Cam put a little too much mustard on that throw to JE at the goal line, or Pats probably win. Hawks offense is so loaded, I don't know how you game plan for them.

    Congrats on a great game

    Agree, getting to the 1 didn't help much. The last yard is the hardest, as both teams know from playing each other.

    Congrats on a great game

    I wish we'd called a different play on the goal line, but on the other hand we didn't think our offense was capable of this at this point. Cam and Edelman still have a little left in the tank. Wilson is unstoppable.

    Congrats on a great game

    Well I'm stunned at that game. Hawks are for real, and I think the Pats may be for real too. What a contest.

    Bill Belichick

    His father was a scout for the Navy football team, taught Bill about the history of football, and how to break down film at around age 12. He's reputed to have the largest library of football books in the world, and can speak at length about all the early NFL coaches and the history of all...

    Pete says they are going to run the ball more

    The NE CB's allow them to play man coverage successfully. In this game they'll probably also assign a db to spy on Wilson to limit his scrambling. The Hawks will see 6 in the box and elect to run, and they'll be successful with it. Then NE will try to tighten up in the rz and force field goals...

    Yes, that's the concern, that Cam won't be able to deal with the hits like Jackson. He's not as fast or slippery as Jackson either, but he's probably in the top 3 or 4 in terms of QB running ability on designed run plays especially RPO. He's also got a little better arm than Jackson when they...

    Pats have a strong OL. Very talented & healthy LT in Wynn, 2 premier guards in Thuney and Mason, and a very good center Andrews who returned after missing last year with a blood clot. RT has questions due to Cannon sitting out the year, but they're rotating a couple of decent bench guys. Also...

    Our receiving weapons are not good. Edelman is 34 and something's nagging him at the moment, a step slow. NKeal Harry hasn't developed, though we hope he's on the verge. TE's are all unproven though they all seem to have some talent. Our offensive strengths are OL, RB, Cam Newton, and...

    Not denying that Seattle has had a tougher division to play in, just saying that the AFC East is a little underrated. NE has rarely swept its 6 division games, and almost always goes 4-2 or 5-1, the same winning % it's had with the league overall. No matter how far back you go, the AFC East vs...

    New England Pass Defense is pretty good

    I think Carson is one of the top backs in the league. I imagine Belichick will go with a CB spy like Jonathan Jones to watch Wilson, like he's done when playing Mahomes and Jackson.

    Could be right, don't know yet. They've had 1 good week, and they were 12-4 last year. But with a different QB this year, it could all go to sh*t. It's a feeling we haven't had for a long time.

    You've been cursed with the toughest division the past 2 years, no doubt. Prior to that I don't recall SF, AZ, and the Rams being very formidable. AFC East has been an average division over the years, not below average. And NE has had the same winning pct against AFCE and non-AFCE teams - 75-80%.

    3 TO's is a positive not a negative. As far as 20 points, we fumbled at the goal line and missed a 42 yd fg, so it should have been 30. If the Hawks played Miami twice a year, they'd pretty much split with them like NE has most seasons. The Pats win 12-14 games every year, and usually have an...

    New England Pass Defense is pretty good

    We lost a safety, Pat Chung, who's lost a step anyway. Also a couple of LB's, Van Noy and Hightower, which is more of a concern. Overall 4-5 new starters on D, but a stacked defensive backfield. The front 7 played well Sunday fwiw.
