How in the world does NE end up with 3 picks in this round ......frustrating....

From what I'm reading this morning, all 4 AFCE teams are getting an " A " rating so far......I'm feeling good with what the Bills did in the 1st 2 days....

Nice...I thought he'd be gone by the time we were up !

Predictions at this time of the year are a bit silly, but it's also really fun so here it goes..... @ NYJ .....W @ NYG ....W CIN ......W NE .....L @TEN.... L MIA..... W PHI..... L WSH.... W @CLE... L @MIA..... W DEN..... L @DAL..... L BAL..... W @PIT..... L @NE..... L NYJ..... W Conservative prediction....8-8.....The Denver game as well as the Eagles are the 2 that I see potentially going the other way...and if that happens...10-6....looks much better....

Another fun back to watch ( not in the GOAT discussion by any means ) was Christian Okoye....The Nigerian Nightmare......When he was on, he was practically unstoppable....

Heart says OJ.....Minds says Barry.....

Welcome to the 10th annual " The Pats are done this year " thread.....never fails....they've won 2 of the last 3 SB and were in all 3.....is Brady slowing down ? yep, I believe so.....is he still a top QB ? I also think so....as someone else mentioned, their running game is now top notch and Brady can read a defense better than anyone...they'll reinvent themselves as always.....oh, and BTW, they might have the best secondary in the league.....their D is nothing to sneer at....If the Bills are to take the division away from them, we'll need JA to take a massive step forward....in fact, we'll need the entire team to do so.....

Whether you think he's an ass or not, saying he's not good is simply not accurate.....

My point is he might not the Bell we saw in Pittsburgh, but he is a major improvement on I. Crowell....or C. West etc....by reading some of the comments, you'd think a back like Bell is easily found...he's good...really good...

NE wins as much vs the rest of the league as they do in the AFC East..... watch BB stack the line and take Bell out of the game....Darnold is still not ready to beat a team by himself....I'm willing to bet my house that NE does better than 3-3 in the division....

Bell is a very good RB....he'll take pressure off Darnold....some folks on here...just because he's now a Jet doesn't make him all of a sudden an average back....he's one of the best and only 26 years old....Jets are better than they were before that move...it is what it is.....we are getting better as well...

From what I gather from this thread, some people will be happily surprised by this guy....

I like this move....a lot....

Well.....Iron Maiden of course !

Robert Kraft will still own the Pats....or at worst, his son will take over. You can't fault the son for daddy's little " pleasure excursion ".......If anything, I'm afraid NE has it's motivation headline for this season right in front of them...win one for Bob.....you are dreaming if you think BB and Brady might retire because of this ...if anything, they are more dangerous.....and have the perfect " us vs the world " story.....and we all know how much they love that stuff.....

We are finally building a team the right way.....we don't need the drama....I'll pass....spending huge $$ on any " one " position is not the way to go..( except QB ).....

This arguments in this thread should have stopped as soon as someone pointed out that NE wins pretty much at the same rate against EVERY team in the NFL.....so unless we make them play 16 games vs the Broncos, all IN Denver......NE would be the NE we know and hate.....

I think you are assuming a lot ....you make it sound like KC will have run of 3-5 AFC Championship and 3 SBs ?.......NE has completely ***** up fans expectations......a team winning 3 out of 4 is rare .....you also need some luck.....

I think he is...One thing the graphic in the op doesn't show is Gronk's ability to block...he is the probably the best blocking TE in NFL history.....

NE 31 - LA 20...BB will take away the run and force Goff to beat them .....Have a DB and McCourthy on Cooks.....Gilmore on Woods.....on offense, they'll use quick passes to White and Burkhead to offset Donald and Duh....once the Rams adapt, Sony Michel will run for 100 yards....and Edelman/Gronk will team up for a monster 2nd half.....NE wins the SB, and it's another hellish off season listening people drool over the Patriots.....then, August comes around and every NFL fan claims " NE is no longer a threat, they're not what they used to be and that Brady is to old " and the vicious circle keeps going.....I am officially depress when it comes to football .....KC really screwed the pooch this year.....

Why would anyone be against this is beyond me....

I was surprised about the info above...I always thought Baltimore was one of the very few teams giving Brady a run for his money...he's 8-3 vs the Ravens ?.....Thank God for Denver !

Umm...No. Manning was one of the biggest playoffs chokers ever....9 one and done......As Bills fans, we know more than most how Brady can be clutch in big games...even last year, in a loss, he had over 500 yards ....2 minutes left in the game, down by 4....out of all QB in the history of the NFL, Brady would be my pick...the guys just wins.....

Stop...just stop.....Cassell went 11-5 with one of the best roster ever assembled....Brady took that team to 16-0 the year before.....Are you saying Cassell is as good as Brady ?...Brady is also one of the most accurate QB ever...He's still throwing ropes at 41.....that's impressive....I get the Brady hate, but he's the GOAT....nothing we say here will change that....

The NFL admitted in front of the judge they didn't have any proof the balls were deflated on purpose....and the Colts balls that game were also deflated...most likely because of the weather...The NFL also never published their study's results during following season where they were testing all year long to see if footballs were affected by weather....why do a study only to keep the findings secret ?... Deflategate was a battle between the players union and Roger Goodell's power...and it took a 2nd bunch of judges to finally agree with him....NE is always at the top of the league when it comes to turnover differential.....coaching and discipline has a lot to do with IMO....
