Yeah, yesterday was extraordinarily frustrating. They made Lamar Jackson, a guy that has been putting up Top 3 QB numbers thus far this season, look terrible and they still couldn't manage to win.

That’s also bc he is reverting back to what he really is... a running back playing QB.

Look at the Patriots schedule thus far. Terrible division opponents, the Steelers, and the Redskins. NFL's most #blessed franchise. Gearing up for another ez Superb Owl win.

They open with eight straight games against teams that didn't make the playoffs last year.

And 5 of their last 8 are against teams that made the playoffs and those 5 are in a row. Should be more spread out and toward the beginning of the season to allow for rest heading into the playoffs if it's rigged.

Pats also have to take care of business outside the division. Take divisions out of it, I'd be curious on what teams have the best record over say the last 5-10 years in their 10 games outside the division. I bet you Patriots also lead that.

Patriots don't get in their own way most of the time (they cheat hur dur!). Things break in their favor more often than not because they pay attention to details.

Regarding the non-division record, I saw a stat I wanna say a year or so ago that going back to 2003 or 2004 the best teams vs non-division opponents showed PIT and Indy were #2 and #3 respectively, both close to around 60% winning pct. But number 1 was NE at over 75%.

Easier to prepare for better teams when your divisional opponents can be used as tuneup games.

The rate at which these guys "pass" concussion tests, seems incredibly quick.

So you’re saying the offense sucks?

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Oct 07, 2019 4:57 pm

The offense and coaching, yes.

Nelson and Barron questionable, Washington still undergoing evaluation, and Samuels out a month after having his knee scoped.

Why did/does this guy I never heard of plays? Thought yous signed Paxton Lynch...?

Lynch is on the practice squad.

because he seems to be not too bad

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Oct 08, 2019 1:35 pm

what's the deal with Justin Layne

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Tue Oct 08, 2019 1:42 pm

He's really bad at being a CB.

I have no idea who any of these players are that are being talked about on this page.

Leroy's right more than he is wrong.

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Oct 08, 2019 5:06 pm

It's true. Leroy is a good boy

Haha. But for real. Who are these jabronis

Justin Layne was our 3rd rd pick. CB from Michigan State. Seemed like a great pick at the time, most people had him as a 1st or 2nd rd guy. But I haven't heard a word about him and I don't think he's injured.
