Offensive playcalling is still maddening

I've met several Pats* fans who are life long fans. They're actually nice folks since they've lived through the lean years of the 1990s when we typically beat them twice a year, and have admitted as much. They know they're fortunate and view the last five or so years as icing on the cake as they realize Brady is on borrowed time; that when he's done the party is over. It's the new, bandwagon fans who are the arrogant, condescending, insufferable pricks. They'll all go away once the Pats* start to suck again.

You're probably getting ahead of yourself with the trade talk. Prior to, and during most of, last season Glenn has been reliable. I think a lot of players go through a point where they sustain an injury streak; Glenn may be going through his now. Wouldn't trade him based on this since Glenn has been an above average tackle who has been reliable for the most part, and is in his prime.

I have noticed that the Broncos blow. Never said they'll win. Just that Vonn Miller could take out Brady. Slim chance of it happening but one can hope.

Well, they play the Broncos this Sunday; Vonn Miller might come up big. I'm not ready to give the division to the Cheats.

Lee Evans only dropped a few passes. Castillo's OLine scheme and coaching is going to get both Shady and Tyrod killed.

Yes...exactly. This is an attainable goal. I think we'll see that after Sunday.

I doubt they change the entire O-Line. My guess is they keep Wood, Richie, and Glenn. The right side does need to be changed. Even though Ducasse is Castillo's pet project, McD has to watch the film on him and think 'no way, this guy sucks.' Mills is there because there has not been any better option. Hopefully he'll be depth next year.

You mean Kim and Terry, as in the Pegulas? I wouldn't be in a hurry to build a new stadium if I was in their position. If I were an owner, I would not support renewing Goodell's contract. He's just about killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Time for a new Commissioner.

This ^^^. I must have missed the part where Rex admitted this, shocking if true. But no surprise he had no idea how to adapt and make changes.

That's quite a racket they have going. Guess this shouldn't be surprising.

The season ticket holder number will come down to around 650 once Brady is gone. But at that point, we won' t need to take over their stadium.

I like this kid, he's going to be a great one. Look for Tre and Zay to be pretty good in the upcoming years.

Have to agree with Jerry on this one, though probably for different reasons; Goodell needs to go. I suspect Jerry wants Goodell gone because of the whole Zeke Elliott mess.

The quality of the NFL games has gone down from even just a couple of years ago. Games are being dragged out when pretty much every play is scrutinized by review. Too many rules that limit the play of the defensive side of the ball; almost impossible to play defense anymore. Also, the NFL is constantly in your face; some of this has to do with the emergence of NFLN, and the Thursday night games which need to go. In my opinion, the protests and politics is speeding up the NFL's demise. Most people want to watch and follow football to get away from the rest of the world for a few hours, and not be barraged by politics, color rush, thug culture, etc. This has all happened under Goodell's watch. His reign as Commissioner needs to come to an end and get someone in there who will restore a more traditional NFL game without all the extraneous nonsense. I actually agree with Jerry Jones that Goodell's contract extension should be blocked. First time I've ever agreed with Jerruh.

Yes, that is Cyrus' brother. Arie was originally drafted by the Redskins, then cut and went to the Raven's practice squad. Signed again by the Redskins several weeks ago because their OL is decimated by injuries.

I'm wondering why GB at Chicago has such a large televised area - from the Rocky mountain states to Pacific coast.

9 wins will get us into the playoffs if we have 9 wins four weeks from now.

Parcells will say some interesting and funny things. Belichick is essentially Death walking the sidelines.

I'd rather worry about winning the division, first. We still have to play NE and Miami 2x. We take care of our own business, the rest should take care of itself.

My mom usually starts her Christmas shopping in like July/August. I personally can't start thinking about Christmas until after Thanksgiving weekend. Have to give turkey day its due...still my favorite holiday. Beer, food, football...what's not to love?

I've always wondered about Boxing Day. Is that where Canadians take out frustrations built up during the year and beat the snot out of each other?

It looked more like the team in general was not interested in playing Thursday night. I look for all phases to bounce back in a big way against the Saints.

With Cutler and Moore as their QBs, doubt they make the playoffs. Their defense is not good enough to overcome the weak offense.

Agree that we've had some bad and ill-prepared teams over the past 20 years. My point was that I don't believe most players enjoy playing in the bad weather and do not think the cold/snow is an advantage.
