Looking at the Patriots - 2018

[TommyD420]

Britt played something like 52% of the offensive snaps vs the Jets.
His playing time is skyrocketing.

He's another one who makes a big play at some point, I think.

Trust the Rutgers.

I thought this was a thread about NEXT season :shrug:

Is it too soon be be concerned about 2020?

Never...

 

[Darth Despot]

Roethlisberger is probably retiring after this season, so I'm not too concerned about the Steelers (not that I would if it were returning)

12-4 sounds right, though.

Isn't 12-4 a given?

Trust the Rutgers.

I see a reincarnation of Michael Floyd, so long as either Mitchell or Hogan return.

 

[Jaric]

You could probably up that to 13-3 without much pushback.

All the tough games on paper appear to be at home. Considering they've been better on the road than at home the last two years, I dunno if that's necessarily a good thing or not. But in theory, it's a good thing.

Defense related IMO. At home, crowd is loud to disrupt the visiting team's communication when they are on offense, but of course, it also serves to disrupt the home team's defensive communication. On the road, crowd noise in minimal for the visiting team's defense.

Wait...Michael Floyd died?

 

[Darth Despot]

Someday we'll finish 11-5... but not today.

 

[Oswlek]

He did here. :archive:

Woah, let's not get crazy here...

 

[Gumpboy45]

Hey now..last time we did that we missed the playoffs

 

[TommyD420]

Hey now..last time we did that we missed the playoffs

That's now a decade ago.

 

[Gumpboy45]

That's now a decade ago.

No complaints here

We will see if Britt now knows the playbook. Earned Brady trust in passing game . Dorsett started a few games . Was basically nothing but a decoy. What makes Brady dangerous is spreading the ball .

He was more than a decoy in the Jets game.

Yes, it will be interesting to see what they can do in the 2018 season :tmack:

 

[O.Z.O.]

Pats will open the season with a rematch against the Vikings on Thursday Night Football. Pats finish 12-4 with losses to GB, at PIT, at JAZ and at MIA.

not if Tomlin is still the coach in Pitt. They're not disciplined or mentally tough enough.

Two years in a Row a Stiller Coach ends up in the Police report incident.

Porter, now the OC Haley, who injured his hip outside a bar after his wife got into a scrum inside a bar and they were removed ~ that is telling.


stay Classy Pittsburg.
