refs have been awful this year. I know we notice it more, but yesterday was again just bad. BB having to freaking throw a red flag on that td when Cam is laying halfway in the endzone. Just bad stuff.
You're right that practice means something, especially for timing and rhythm. Missing 3/5 of the OL and 2 starters on the DL also means something. It figured to be a tough game. Btw, the Broncos are not a bottom 5 team; I'll go bottom 10 though.
Bronco's are not good, I see maybe 4 wins this year if they are lucky and they were without basically their only weapon on offense and Lock had not played in like 4 weeks. Not a game the pats should have lost. Titans have had two 40 point games since they came off covid restrictions. They had 16 players test positive so its been not good there either. Good teams get through things. Had the pats won going away yesterday, the talk would have been, wowzer, they had barely any practice and look at them go.

I am not sure Lock being back was that great, he almost single handly won the pats the game. Maybe I think less of them than they are, but not a team the pats should lose to at home. I mean denver barely beat the Jets....The Broncos were ranked 24th last week. They're not good but they're not bad, esp with Lock back in the saddle after missing a couple of games.
Had he played the previous 2 games there's no doubt that 24th would've been 19-20th ranked.

You know, I was STUNNED but Randy Moss called him out about that on Sunday Countdown. And he's a huge TB fan. I would have expected it from Rodney who is zero % a homer. Randy said that doing it with a team not used to playing with you yet is not a good idea, if I remember right. I will look for video.
I would too... 12 will always be a competitor... brady at 50 will still be better than most of the qbs in the league because of that drive
With no "official" practice time.
I thought it was a bit odd that Henry cooled off the way he did late last season, because he is unstoppable when he is fresh.
Yeah there is, but they also have a QB playing well, I think that is still needed.
Not sure the pats are alone in that one. Something that big should not be able to move that fast.
I think it should involve the o-line blocking better, and WRs actually getting open before Cam is getting hit. It also wouldn't hurt if Cam could figure out to just throw the ball away, if nothing is there.
The OL was disaster No. 1. No doubt. Andrews is supposed to come back this week from IR, so that'll help.
How much have the room TEs been on the field though. I mean I know what you do in practice means your reps, but just wondering how much time they are getting.
Here's Lazar's article with plenty of video for support. The OL was a mess and it was worse than I thought.
