I dunno about NE falling off anytime soon in this new decade.
But hey, do you guys ever ponder a young future QB to groom after Brady? Would you guys want to draft anybody this year or not? Is Hoyer still the backup right now?
now I know how well the 11 straight championship Celtics teams felt back when there wasn't as much coverage as what you're seeing today....
They need to really watch out for the Rams trickery.
I think the team totally overlooked Foles & the Eagles last season. Hopefully that humbling experience gets them extra motivated. I can't imagine they will make that mistake again.
I can't imagine the defense gives up all those 3rd & 4th down conversations if Hightower played last season. Having him back is a big boost. And having a fully healthy Edelman on offense is huge too.
They need to really watch out for the Rams trickery. Have an extra blocker on Donald & Suh. I do worry about JC Jackson. He is very aggressive with his hands. And the Chiefs game was a step back for him. I could see BB going to J Mccourty if Jackson struggles. Arrington was abused by Matthews in SB 49. But the team adjusted by putting Browner on Matthews, benching Arrington, and inserting Butler.
Another thing: McVay normally relays the play to Goff with 15 seconds on the clock. I wouldn't be stunned if the Patriots have a variety of disguises ready. In otherwords, completely change the coverage after Goff goes back on the field after said 15 seconds.
Rams CB: Age has 'taken a toll' on Pats' Brady
The stupidity of NFL players will never cease to amaze me.
I just flipped on the NFL Network and was hoping that I might actually enjoy the media coverage this week.
That lasted all of about 30 seconds.
Second rate hacks like Cole Wright, and Micheal Robinson telling me that it’s a good sign that McVay had the players in jumpsuits instead of suit and tie, and that Aaron Donald led them off the team. That it means they are relaxed, but still mean business. I thought Cole Wright was ****ing awful on NESN. How he got hired on the NFL Network is totally beyond me.
Oi Vey! A full week of this? I will be ready to chuck the remote through the TV by Wednesday.
Apparently LA hasn't learned that anytime you give any Boston sports team bulletin board material, they are likely to shove your words down your throat.Rams CB: Age has 'taken a toll' on Pats' Brady

He's like a jilted contestant on the BacheloretteHumorous to hear Brandin Cooks open his mouth
WHO DATHumorous to hear Brandin Cooks open his mouth

He set the tone of last year's SB with that idiotic leap. Dumb arse.
The only time the Rams should punt is if they are deep in their own territory and have at least 10 yards to gain. Otherwise, go for it outright or fake it and have Hekker pass. Dude is such a weapon.
It's an indoor stadium.oh, the weather for Super bowl week is frightful
Winter Storm Jayden may spoil the NFL Party in the ATL
So... a lot of this coverage seems to be harping on “the pass rush up the middle is the way to beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.” They keep talking about the Giants, etc... It’s getting old.
First of all, a good pass rush up the middle is a great way to beat ANYBODY.
Secondly, everyone knows this and have been trying to get to Brady by using that scheme for years with varying degrees of success. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.
Lastly, I’d like to think that the Patriots coaching staff might expect the Rams to employ this pass rush tactic and plan to mitigate it by keeping a back in the backfield or scheming the offensive line to stop them.
Hopefully the Patriots offensive line is up to the task.
Agreed. And not enough attention is being paid to special teams in this game. They have the much better punter. And their kicker can consistently boot 60 yarders. Meanwhile, the Pats kicker can't even boot a kickoff out the endzone.
Just an absolutely huge Rams advantage. What may be a punt at the Rams 40 yard line, will be a fg attempt on the Pats 40 yard line.
I really hope this game doesn't come down to Gost having to make a big kick.

I don't know about that last part. Gost is the best part of the kicking game, and it's not really even close. I trust him a lot.Agreed.

the NFL has events Tuesday do they not, besides that isn't New England getting hit by Jayden as well? they already have watches up here for the same timeframeNot to mention Jayden is supposed to hit Atlanta sometime Tuesday. HUTCH's concern with snow storms that hit a venue several days before an event continues to confuse.
