oww Pats opened at 14.5 point favorites this morning.

Through two games, the Pats lead he league in penalties with 24 against, evenly split between offense and defense. League avg is about 12.5. The Pats have be benefited from 11 calls, slightly below league avg (12.5). Zebras tossed their hankies an average of 13.94 times per game in week-1...

Most of the game, it looked like Solder--Cannon--Connolly--Devey--Vollmer, with Cam Fleming on for about half the snaps as a TE Other than a penalty, it seemed like he was a big help in the ground game. I think Stork got a few snaps in, but I didn't see any rotations beyond that. Reiss will...

Hey! I don't like Goodell, either. But, it doesn't matter what we think. I'm just saying that his approval rating with the owners may be better than we know. Now, the media companies that provide the NFL with 60% of its revenue may also think he needs to go, and their wishes hold much more...

That was my point about Goodell being an "insider". He wasn't an outsider, he came up through the ranks, and probably wasn't appointed as a figurehead. Before he was elected Commish, he was "staff" in the league office for over two decades and deeply involved in pretty much all the processes...

Here's a couple lists of potential replacements (tongue in cheek on a couple of them). http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-09-12/nfls-next-commissioner-a-guide-to-the-replacing-roger-goodell...

And none of the guys from "good" neighborhoods who grew up to become the investment bankers who screwed up the world economy for fun and profit were ever "coddled" in their lives.

Probably Devey and newcomer Don Jones.

Actually, it's far more likely that it's the big media conglomerates who own the broadcast networks who are pulling Roger's strings - to sell a voting majority of the owners on the changes they want. But then, appealing to the owners' greed has probably made that part of his job fairly easy...

Fifty years ago back in Michigan, in 7th grade gym class, I was on the gym floor at the head of my "squad" well ahead of the bell. As one of the squad leaders appointed by the gym instructor, I'd made sure that everybody was present and accounted for and was squatting down to take my seat when...

Hey, guys! Stereotype much?

Which "system" would that be, exactly?

So, Gronk who only caught 4 of 11 targets and is still rounding into game shape nine months after a brutal knee injury - it was a mistake not to use him more than the 38 snaps he did play? So, Josh dictatorially calls in every single detail of every single offensive snap from the sideline...

That's what I've seen, too. But several guys apparently saw fit to throw in an unnecessary, irrelevant and completely incorrect dig at Chung and the Pats' apparently unique lack of a kick-return game. These are mostly the same guys who, in their pre-season roster projections, kept including...

There was certainly more than just the wheel route being run on those plays, and the playcalls that included wheel routes (as just one possible sight-read-option) were just part of a package of plays that accompanied that particular personnel group. It's not as if McD told Brady, "throw the...

Media post-mortems I'm reading all seem to be piling on by noting that "Chung didn't make anything happen in the kick return game." MIA kicked off 8 times. Three were returnable. Chung had one for 30 and one for 20 and didn't fumble. McCourty had one for 27. There have been 143 kickoffs in...
