2016 NFL Season

[Eja117]

At the very least Blount seems good enough to get teams to respect some play action, making things way way easier for Brady.

[Donoghus]

Yes.  He's the best primary RB the Pats have had since Dillon. 

[knuckleballer]

Blount looks about 10-15 pounds lighter this season than in past seasons and is noticeably quicker.  This year, he's definitely the best primary rb since Dillon.  When Lewis is back, they are going to be a two headed beast.

Man, if the Pats had just a couple playmakers on defense they'd be far and away the best team.

As it is, they're similar to the Steelers.  Explosive offense, but the defense just doesn't scare anybody.  Can't get off the field.

If only the Pats had a guy like the Brown's Jamie Collins... he'd be a good fit here

Ugh, what a pathetic way to finish the game.  So many shots at the end zone and nothing.

You gotta be able to get stops against good teams.

This Pats team stinks on defense.  Mike Lombardi is 100% right.  Need to be able to execute on defense.  They couldn't, and they lost to a real Super Bowl contender.

Bend dont break went a little too far tonight.

Can't get off the field on third downs, can't hold on to the ball, can't bang it in the end zone when it matters. Plenty of blame to go around, but offense can't come out of this clean.

Is the game against the 49ers a trap game for the Pats? They will be without Gronk and Hogan.

Normally I would completely agree, but only if the Pats beat Seattle last Sunday.

I think BB chewed this team out (I hope lol), and rarely do they lose two straight games. I think it will be closer than most people think, but probably something like 35-17 Patriots win.

Hurts that Gronk and Hogan are out but I expect Bennett will have a great game, Edelman as always, and hopefully Amendola can get some catches. I think we will see lots of plays involving James White out of the backfield honestly.

[Cman]

Nice for the Pats to get the W.
Blount is a beast.

[KGs Knee]

Big Blue looking better by the week.

Eli with a defense behind him is bad news, especially for Pats' fans.

[BitterJim]

Anybody else watch the end of the Ravens game? The NFL will have to look at changing their rules for next season, no team should be able to intentionally hold the entire other team just to run out the clock.  It was a really smart move by Harbaugh to know the rules and take advantage, but that was just ridiculous

[KGs Knee]

Giants keep winning. Defense is looking like the money they invested this summer was well spent. JPP looking like he's getting back to All-Pro form.

Tough schedule coming up, with three division leaders the next three weeks, and then Eagles/Skins. But I'm liking where they are right now. Just get in the playoffs and let Eli get hot. It's a proven formula.

[Neurotic Guy]

Once again terrible clock management at the half for the pats. Had only one shot in the end zone because they let 30 seconds just tick off the clock - and they hsd a timeout to use.  Baffling. Meanwhile, Gostkowski continues to miss.
