Those tablets must be cheap, you see players throwing them down every week.

If Gilmore sits, that means the secondary for NE looks like: Jason McCourty (LCB), Jonathan Jones (RCB), Devin McCourty (FS), Adrian Phillips (SS)

Yep. Hides his ear-to-ear smirk.

I was in town and at that game. It was horrendous. I also had the misfortune of sitting in a section that was 75% Eagles fans. The game was brutal to watch and their fans were very vocal. It was sort of fun for say a quarter and a half. But as the game started to get away and the Eagles were running wild, it was tough to sit there.

But..but.. but... that's exactly what they are paid to do. Not every ball is perfectly thrown. If it's within their arm span, they are expected to catch it. That is what they did in weeks 1-4. Not as much lately.

I disagree. I watched them drop them right in their hands, off their face masks, etc. I remember that catch Beasley made at the goal line that flipped him upside down. Part of it is forcing the ball into double coverage on Diggs without Brown being on the field. But even Diggs has dropped a few he should have caught.

In the first four games, the WRs caught everything that was thrown to them. In the last three games, the drops are on the rise. Correct that and things will look much brighter this weekend.

This. The Bills are committed to 4-wide. Run the receivers deep and pull the secondary with them. NE is going to have to respect that. Stopping swing passes to White and stopping Burkhead from running off center is going to be the keys to this game.

According to NFL.com, Trevor Lawrence is a Covidion today.

and 3rd loss in four weeks with Seattle up next.

If you dig a little deeper, you find NE is really banged up, consider: RB: 1st: Damien Harris: Q WR: 1st: Julian Edelman: O WR: 1st: N'Keal Harry: Q WR: 3rd: Marqise Lee: O LT/RT: 1st: Justin Herren: Q RG: 1st: Shaq Mason: Q RT: 4th: Marcus Cannon: O LG: 2nd: Joe Thuney: Q RT: 2nd: Jermaine Eluemunor: IR RT: 3rd: Yodny Cajuste: IR LDE: 1st: Lawrence Guy: Q WLB: 2nd: Shillique Calhoun: Q WLB: 3rd: Josh Uche, IR SLB: 1st: John Simon: Q RILB: 2nd: Brandon Copeland: IR FS: 3rd: Kyle Dugger: Q NT: 2nd: Carl Davis: Q NT: 3rd: Michael Bennett: IR SS: 3rd: Cody Davis: IR SS: 4th: Brandon King: O RCB: 1st: Stephon Gilmore: Q And of course Covidions: RB: 1st: Sony Michel

That does feel a bit curious.

Bass and Bojo should be required to practice in the stadium all week. Get used to the wind and wuthering.

I know Julian Edelman has been hurt. I wonder if there is more going on to these numbers. Cam throwing to the left? Stidman? A desire to run more? No good TE to clear out the middle? Check out these numbers.... 10/25 vs 9ers 1-13 10/18 vs Broncos 2-8 10/5 vs Chiefs 3-35 09/27 vs Raiders 2-23 09/20 vs Seahawks 8-179 09/13 vs Dolphins 5-57 The fall off after Seattle is precipitous.

So they are now up to eight different combinations. We have moved well past silly...

and everyone exhale.... looks fine.... no noticeable hitch in his giddyup.

If he was in it, would he be out there at all? Asking, not familiar with the do's and don'ts

This man literally says the same thing, week-in, week-out to questions. He gives THE most boring interview of any coach. He has zero animation. He would flat line a heart monitor.

Buffalo is so due, overdue for a broken coverage, long TD where the WR or RB runs free. This would be a great week for one. Also a pick six would be nice. Also a ST touchdown would be nice. All the kind of things NE does to Buffalo to win games.

that is all we need to see..

Yeah that was pretty brutal on GMFB. They did not even attempt to be balanced with one of them taking the Bills side. They're not wrong, but it was a brutal reminder how futile the Bills vs Patriots matchups have been.

From NFL.com Buffalo's offensive line struggles are a concern. Josh Allen was pressured a season-high 14 times by a middling pass rush on Sunday and had his second-shortest average time to throw of the season (2.78 seconds), per Next Gen Stats.

The crazy thing about the Belichick is he pulls out a new wrinkle that you don't expect. I fully expect him to use White as his featured back. Instead we are likely to see Burkhead or Harris or something even crazier like J.J. Taylor.

1. The quick passes to Beasley to get him to the edge. 2. As someone said upthread, more kicks for the rook. Loved him talking smack to JETS sideline. 3. No punts 4. Six sacks 5. 1 INT that led to late 1st half points 6. A very good kick return 7. A drive to start the 3rd. Like they said, "enough of this.." 8. No obvious injuries on a field that sure had the 9ers spooked 9. A division win 10. 4 yards total offense for the J*E*T*S, JETS! JETS! JETS! in the second half 11. And a bonus... Getting to watch the smack down of the Patriots afterwards.
