Patriots/NFL Week 16

[Smitty93]

Fouts is the worst.

He's past his expiration date, like Dan Dierdorf.

 

[Smitty93]

I've got to say, I'm surprised Hightower made it over Collins or Van Noy. I guess it's because Hightower is an ILB, and both Collins and Van Noy are considered OLB.

Devin McCourty is another snub.

The three of them (McCourty, Collins, and Van Noy) are all free agents after this year, so maybe it will be easier to re-sign them.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Thought they just re-signed KVN

He got a 2 year extension a couple of years ago, but it ends this year.

Better than Eagle and Fouts...God I hate them.

Hard to go wrong with Mike Tirico

I don’t dislike Eagle, I think his voice is terrific


Dan Fouts might be a top 3 least favorite person walking the planet for me. Nobody is worse at their job than he is. f*** that guy

[Maine Fan]

Pats better win tomorrow vs the Bills

 

[CDJ]

Hammering the under, this game could be set at o/u 25 and I’m still going under


Edit: It’s at 37. Cha Ching. I also have the bills covering 6.5, first time betting against a pats cover. I feel like the pats pull out a close game

Would be nice to see the offense pop off though

 

[Fenway]

GDT: - 4:30 PM - Bisons invade Foxborough - Bills @ PATRIOTS - WBZ-TV 4, NFLN, TSN, RDS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

Incoming offensive explosion

 

[Fossy21]

Texans offence not doing much against the Bucs. First six drives for the Bucs, the Texans’ D and ST forced five turnovers, scored 7 points and allowed just a field goal, yet the game is tied.

I've been in Tampa St Petetsburg for a month and the bucs have not lost yet

Saturday football? What country is this?

Jameis is either really good or really bad and nothing in between. I don't get it.

I think that if they surrounded him with a strong line and changed the offensive scheme a little bit, he could be worth his draft position.

I drove by the tailgate party they have last week, looked pretty fun. This time I think I'm gonna stay here instead of going back to Canada and catch the baseball season, I'm half American so can work here

 

[KrejciMVP]

Ouf. Texans win the division...

 

[N o o d l e s]

Ouf. Texans win the division...

We want them to win though at this point. If they end with the same record as KC, they have the tiebreaker for the 3 seed

 

[Fenway]

Rams coach's head just exploded

 

[Smitty93]

Looking at the last two weeks, and the improved offensive performance, it's notable that Phillip Dorsett has basically been phased out. He'd been playing significant snaps for most of the season, but the last two weeks he's played 14% and 7% of the offensive snaps. On the other side, Harry has played over 50% of snaps both weeks.

I'm not going to say Dorsett is useless, but he doesn't offer much. He's good for about 1 good play a game, and that's it. Harry's presence also improves the running game, as he's a very good blocker.

Dorsett's not a bad player. But he's not a great one either, not a gamebreaker. When you had a combination of a healthy Edelman, Gronk, Gordon/Cooks, Amendola/Hogan, and or White on the field plus good blocking, he could stretch the field and get behind safeties who forgot about him. But with the banged up WR core and the OL not giving Brady any time to throw, his limitations in getting separation on routes really becomes a problem.

And in the end, anything he does, Harry can do and better. What shocks me is how Jakobi Meyers became the 3rd option over Dorsett during that spell when Edelman was in the concussion tent - and was somewhat productive. I really thought that they were going to give up on him after some of his mistakes earlier in the year.
