Sanchez' line this week......35 for 37....8 touchdowns....650 yards...no interceptions. The Pats are doomed
If that's Mark Sanchez' line next week, I'll just tip my cap.
Poor kid had to play for the Jets for 5 years. He deserves anything good that can possibly happen to him.

How are you feeling about the NY/NY showdown? I have to think you take out the Giants given how awful their defense is when they don't play the Pats that is. Will Revis play?

When it comes to NY vs NY, who's considered the home team?

This is a home game for the Giants
The Giants are the home team, so it will be Giants ticket holders in the stands. As far as the fan base goes, it will definitely be a road game for the Jets. There's little love lost between the fan bases.

Would be a fun game to watch your hated opponents kill each other.... and both lose somehow.

Neither. A NY team isn't a home team unless they play in Buffalo.
Fair point

This is the correct answer.
Let's hope these new guys give NE's offense/ST some potent options.

The New England Patriots found themselves in a bind entering Week 12.
Danny Amendola suffered a sprained knee Monday night in the Patriots’ 20-13 win over the Buffalo Bills, giving the Patriots a short week to try to sign a receiver and get him adapted into the system by Sunday night. They chose not to sign a wideout to replace Amendola, instead going with just three receivers against the Denver Broncos: Brandon LaFell, Keshawn Martin and Chris Harper. Now with a full week ahead of them, the Patriots added slot receiver Damaris Johnson to their 53-man roster Tuesday.
Johnson should be a better fit than Harper for their offense if Amendola is forced to miss more time. The Patriots didn’t show much interest in integrating Harper into their game plan against the Broncos despite the rookie stepping up and playing 31 snaps in Week 11 against the Bills. Harper didn’t receive a single snap against the Broncos until tight end Rob Gronkowski left the game with a right knee injury. Harper played in the slot during the preseason, but he solely played outside in Week 12. Harper’s lack of offensive snaps shows his muffed punt might not have been the only reason he was cut Monday, though it certainly didn’t help that he showed he couldn’t be depended on as a returner.
Amendola’s injury forced the Patriots to go without a prototypical slot receiver in Week 12. Brandon LaFell spent 53.3 percent of his snaps inside — an unusual role for him in the Patriots offense, though he did play the slot with the Carolina Panthers. Martin spent 35.7 percent of his snaps in the slot, while Gronkowski and fellow tight ends Scott Chandler and Asante Cleveland also spent time inside. It was obvious quarterback Tom Brady missed having the security blanket of a slot receiver like Amendola or Julian Edelman. He completed just three passes for 26 yards to slot receivers. That was down from nine catches for 108 yards in Week 11 and eight catches for 90 yards in Week 10. Brady instead relied heavily on his tight ends, who caught six passes for 72 yards out of the slot.
Now with Gronkowski likely out with a knee injury, the Patriots will have to regroup again. The Patriots clearly needed to add depth at inside receiver, which is why signing Johnson makes sense. Johnson had passed Martin on the Houston Texans’ depth chart in 2014 and spent 85.8 percent of his snaps inside, where he caught 23 passes for 291 yards with a touchdown. The Patriots clearly see Martin as more of an outside option, which is why they acquired him in a trade with the Texans prior to Week 2 rather than signing Johnson, who was a free agent at the time. The Patriots didn’t need a slot receiver with Amendola and Edelman on the roster, and they needed another outside option with LaFell beginning the season on PUP.
Johnson is a versatile option who has some of the same traits as Edelman and Amendola. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound receiver is elusive. He averaged 5.9 yards after catch last season, which is even better than Edelman (5.3) or Amendola (4.4) this year. He also has experience on jet sweeps. He ran the ball five times for 19 yards last season with the Texans in former Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien’s system. He had 122 rushing attempts in college at Tulsa for 1,062 yards. His experience under O’Brien should allow him to pick up the Patriots’ offense relatively quickly. Johnson also could be the Patriots’ new punt returner with Harper gone. He has 47 career punt returns for 445 yards with a touchdown.
The Patriots might also use Johnson or new running back Trey Williams on kick returns. Johnson has 23 career kick returns for 577 yards, while Williams brought back kicks in college. Johnson, like Williams, might not contribute much for the Patriots this season. But if Amendola misses any more time, the Patriots need an option out of the slot, which would allow LaFell to move back outside and give Brady a receiver who can get open quickly.

So where will the offence come from against Philly??
Last week was pretty weak and now no Gronk.
???????
Amendola will be back.
Philly's defense is ranked near the bottom of the league in just about every category. They are 27th against the run. Expect a lot of Blount.
Don't be surprised to see multiple turnovers from the defense. Between the two QB's, they have 15 TD's to 14 Ints.
The team has quit on Chip Kelly.
The running game this week should give Brady and our receivers a day off of sorts. Blount, Bolden and White should all get opportunities to gain some much needed confidence in this game along with our OL. Maybe we get to see some of Damaris Johnson and Trey Williams, too. 2-3 well designed plays for both that go for good yardage should give Bill O'Brien something to think about for the next week.
Here's Johnson as an Eagle.

- DeMarco Murray plays only 49.6 percent of the Eagles snaps (23rd of all running backs) when active. He was at 73.9 percent (third) in 2014.
- Last week was just the second time since 2012 that Murray failed to record a reception in a game.
- 56.8 percent of Sam Bradford's passing yards have been after the catch, highest in the league.
- After allowing just 94.2 rushing yards per game through six weeks, the Eagles have allowed 165.6 over their past five games.
- In the past three games with all three active, LeGarrette Blount has played 101 snaps (49 percent), Brandon Bolden 103 (50 percent) and James White 77 (37 percent).
- After averaging 4.8 red zone trips per game over their first eight games, the Patriots have eight red zone possessions over the past three weeks.
- Brandon LaFell's target share since returning in Week 7: 14.8%, 18.4%, 23.1%, 14.3%, 20.5% and 21.4%.
- Tom Brady has averaged 9.7 fewer points per game without Rob Gronkowski active since 2013.
- Scott Chandler had three of the eight targets last week after Gronkowski left the game.
Trust: Tom Brady (even with his options hampered, I’m still putting multiple touchdown passes in pen for him this week), Brandon LaFell (has seven or more targets in all but one game since returning and this is matchup he can exploit with target volume as the lead receiver by default)
Bust: Sam Bradford (four of the past five quarterbacks to face New England have been QB24 or lower), Jordan Matthews (don’t chase that late game touchdown again this week), Brandon Bolden/James White (Bolden is playing a lot more than White, but the situation is far from feeling good about using either) , Keshawn Martin (he’s still chasing a waterfall at this stage and you don’t likely need to do that this week)
Reasonable Return: Danny Amendola (health is the only thing giving pause to fully endorsing him), LeGarrette Blount (the way Philadelphia has defended the run recently suggests that Blount could get going downhill here a lot more than the past two weeks), Scott Chandler (the Eagles are tough matchups for any tight end, so there’s a low floor here, but he’s going to be needed), DeMarco Murray (we’re very close to the point where we can just fade the Eagles altogether as they appear to closing up shop on the Chip Kelly era, but with Dont’a Hightower out, there could be room for Murray this week)

- Chip Kelly have reportedly pursued Johnny Manziel
- Brandon Graham has a reason for blocking people on Twitter
- Bill Belichick is basically trolling the Eagles with comments like these
- Byron Maxwell thinks Sam Bradford, not Tom Brady, is the best QB
- Kobe Bryant still supports the Philadelphia Eagles
- No one is taking the Eagles to beat the Patriots
Looks like Easley will be out this week. He missed his 2nd practice with an ankle injury.
Amendola, Collins, Chung and Hightower were Limited.

This thread is a bore. No Iggles fans I guess to try to troll us. They must just be counting the days until Kelly is axed. I think he will be back next year. The owner believes in him.
