Allen was great and may end up in the Patriots HoF some day. Punting is underrated, and he did a tremendous job at assuring us good field position for the last 6 years. And his Superbowl performance last year kept the Rams off the board for a long time - if he averaged ten fewer yards on all those punts, the Rams could've gotten into FG range on a couple of those drives and the game would've been a lot closer.
I do understand Belichick's reasoning. Bailey seems just as strong legged and as a rookie comes with a comparatively smaller contract. Plus he can also handle kickoffs if they want to give Gost a break (and he's been so inconsistent on FGs recently that you might want to rest that leg).
Allen will get picked up, and I wish him all the best in the future (unless he goes to the Jets or Dolphins).

Jimmy G with a terrible interception his first series vs Denver, would have thrown a pick-6 on his second series but the linebacker dropped a throw right in the numbers.

You could handle the new helmet situation like Brady.
Or you could handle it like Antonio Brown.

The thing about Antonio Brown is that considering everything we know about head injuries and all the bad press that the league has gotten over being incredibly slow to take responsibility for them, he looks like an absolute troglodyte by dying on this hill.

He does.. but why doesn't the NFL give him a waiver to sign and let him wear his helmet? He'd be barred from any future legal action relating to head injuries.
Because when it comes down to it, there is no waiver that is lawsuit proof.

This might force them to make cuts earlier than they wanted. If Thomas could've been stashed away for a few more weeks or into the regular season, they could've carried another guy like Berrios who might get cut now. Still not sold on Thomas actually making the team after the surgery he had at his age.

Patriots News: Demaryius Thomas Returns to Practice After Achilles Injury Rehab
Granted, Brady still needs to build chemistry with Thomas and Harry. And the loss of Rob Gronkowski to retirement can't be overstated. But what was a position of weakness looks like it could become a strength for the Patriots by the time the season begins.

Patriots Unfiltered Q&A: Pass catchers receiving attention
Do you see Josh Gordon as a starter, with him and [Julian] Edelman in two-WR sets and N’Keal Harry with them in three-WR sets? I think this would be a great receiving combo which would offer the Patriots real diverse and dangerous options, especially with [James] White out of the backfield. And if he is, how do you see the receiver position shaking out? Gordon, Edelman, Harry, [Phillip] Dorsett (and Matthew Slater) making the team, leaving [Maurice] Harris, [rookie Jakobi] Meyers, [Braxton] Berrios, [Demaryius] Thomas, and [Dontrelle] Inman to fight it out for one or two spots?

doooooont caaaaaaaare. Tough to get riled up at this point. Would be like getting mad at somebody saying the sun is green. Like whatever man, have fun on Mars.
All time “best” QB’s don’t go sub-.500 in their prime, idc if they are playing with 5 year olds

I'm not sure how old you are, but I am so happy I was able to watch the NFL at one point where all these things didn't exist. I grew up watching the Niners win four bowls, and marveled at Joe Montana's greatness, and any time anyone mentioned him as a player it was positive....as it should be...
Now, forget it. How does someone come out and honestly think this? The sad part is I guess is the Patriots and Brady have made it look so easy and so common that people that aren't from the 60's or 70's really believe this is easy.
This will never be done again in the NFL. There will never be another two decades like this. It will be more likely the Patriots win no Superbowls from say 2025-2075 then any team ever repeat this.
