yeah I can see that. and re-reading Dynasty, I think he may have been saying just that.

You could say they realize Brady likely has a short window remaining, but they also know they have a potential new window opening up with Jimmy G. that they want to give themselves a good chance with

the Jimmy G. situation IMO continues to be one of the more interesting NFL situations in years. Even if I'm right (thats the Pats legit love Jimmy G. and want to keep him), exactly how they go about doing that is so hard when you have a GOAT still GOATING

Watched top 10 Brady games and it was embarrassing... they included the Titans snow game which was more team than Brady. Him crushing the Bears in a blizzard in 2010 was his best snow game. I mean, they used the Seahawks Super Bowl at #4 and had some random girl say, "I mean, it wasn't even all that great of a game by him." It's supposed to be his best games of his career.

They properly included the 2013 Broncos game, at least. 2007 Colts should have been in there, imo. Hell, Brady had 2 or 3 epic comebacks that year that demonstrated the "best of Brady" simply because he had the weight of SpyGate and the perfect season on him.

Most of it involved either just Super Bowl wins or epic beat downs that were a team effort. Which should all be in the top 10, but when I think of the Best of Brady, I think 4 touchdowns to Moss in a half at Buffalo type dominance.

They made it look like Brady had never properly destroyed a team as good HOF qbs do. His entire career highlights are just comebacks.

"The Best of Peyton Manning" would have been mostly dominant offensive efforts against garbage teams with his Super Bowl win or two thrown in for good measure.

The top 10 of Brady was mostly the top 10 of the Pats.

ROFLMAO. Every mediocre QB who ever played has probably beaten some team 45-3.

Blowout wins are easy. Any NFL QB can do it. (OK, maybe not Bortles)

"Just" comebacks is laughable. Comebacks define greatness. Winning close games defines greatness.

Pink Hats ITT.

GAME DAY LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

Win or lose just a standard sloppy game plus injuries plus meh officiating... It'll get better.

Also the defense sucks

Defense blows

And Brady looked awful, very inaccurate. Stop me if you've heard that after a game against the Chiefs before

Re Brady I think it's just an issue of the offense not being solid yet w Edelman Mitchell and then Dola out, Gronk also looked a little less than 100%, Allen isn't there yet (and may never but tbd). Brady may have missed a few but a lot looked like throw aways.

Lots of the longer passes he missed seemed like throws into very good coverage. Couldn't tell if it was a bad read or just a throw away because no other options

Hard to say but there's a difference between a throw into double coverage where a defender has a play (bad read) or a throw towards double coverage where he just sails the pass as a throw away. He's been doing the latter his whole career, feel like he did it 15 times tonight which isn't ideal but basically I'm not chalking those up to accuracy.

Well at least it can't really get worse from here. Hightower going out really gutted an already trash tier defense.

I was really pumped for this season. Really thought 19-0 might be possible with all these additions. I even got up at 2am to watch the game and went to work afterwards. Game was disappointing. Lots of missed throws. But probably underestimated how bad our defense is right now. Hopefully they play better next week.

Not really sure i likedtThese 4th down conversion tries. Not that I wouldnt go for it but it seemed they were pretty good prepared for that.

Offensive "struggles" overrated imo. They didn't convert two fourth and shorts. Gronk dropped a TD in end zone. They looked a little out of sync at times. And yet they still scored 27 points on a top 5 defense. The offense will be top 3, no real worries there, too much talent.

Defense, on the other hand, was awful. Looked confused, KC's speed did them in. I couldn't believe how many big plays they pulled off, and it somehow got worse when Hightower left. They legit has no idea what they were doing out there.

Well, that was ugly.

The offense isn't the problem. Defense, particularly LB is going to be an issue.

OTOH, KC was using some unusual blocking schemes/influences to set up the front 7 so their OL had great angles. Pretty elite stuff actually.

On the wide open Hill TD, it looked like Gilmore was in zone expecting deep help to the corner. Not sure what drew McCourty to the middle, but a mistake like that is fixable.

I'll take a positive attitude of "OK, at least we won't get all caught up in that 19-0 crap."

lol

I was told to report here for trolling

Welp hopefully the injuries aren't too serious. It has to stop at some point right?

+1 thx

i'll do my job this season, then.

Really hoping that the injuries to all our guys arent to bad. Would really suck if Gronk goes down again.

I seem to recall that right around the end of the preseason, Anquan Bolden was quoted as saying he'd consider un-retiring if the Pats wanted him.

Might be a good time to give him a call.
