Their defense also is another questionable spot at DE. Ealy isn't the monster they thought he was, and their standout rookie Derek Rivers is also out with an ACL.

Pretty sure they never thought Early was a "monster".

 

But this at least gives us just a glimmer of hope now instead of no chance.

Wise and Rivers are out.  Ninkovich retired.

We have a better two deep on paper.  Sounds insane to the national hacks, but our core was 15-1 two years ago and is substantially better now.

Brady was a 6th rounder so I get it-where you're drafted isn't the end all be all, but if it's even a smidge true we've got a more talented team.

That's supported by stats. Per ESPN, the Patriots haxe a .810 win percentage in games he's played, and they're.600 without him since he joined the team in 2009.

Regardless, it sucks that the guy went down like that, especially in a preseason game. I'd rather get a win over them at full strength, but of course will take the W....period.

There's been a lot of talk about Cam's chemistry with different receivers, and how to build more, particularly with the new guys. If you want a peek at a great example of why Brady and Edelman are so good together, check out the Sound Fx videos of the last Superbowl. There are a couple of moments in there that will make you stop and think. Examples: Edelman pumps up Brady by pushing him to get the win for his mother (who had cancer), and he essentially predicted the comeback, telling Brady they were going to make a great story, and afterwards said, I told you so (in a nice way). Opponents or not, Pats or not, it was good stuff.

We won our last head to head.  Our arch nemesis had a 25 point lead on them.  We always had a chance, and a good one at that.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
