All the pieces are lining up for a Peppers trade to New England

Tully Banta Cain, the only real pass rush from the outside for the New England Patriots, was just released after playing 60% of the defensive snaps on Sunday against the Titans.

Adalius Thomas, 2007's OTHER huge free agent acquisition, was benched Sunday due to performance reasons.

The only consistent starter is 95 year old Derrick Burgess who's anything but impressive.

It is now clear that the Tom Brady has rediscovered his rhythm, and the Patriots offense might be even better now with the addition of Edelman.

Peppers has mysteriously been playing far better these past two games...perhaps he was told that if he stepped it up, they could work out a trade?

so you explained how the Pats would benefit......now how why would Hurney/Fox trade considering they are looking at a 5 win season in the face and trading Peppers only will make the defense worse? I guess you are in the camp that thinks Fox will be employed here w/ a 4 or 5 win season? I mean w/o Pep you can't realistically say they would even have posted two wins....considering the defense was a key reason we barely beat two bottom dwellers.

the panthers have a glut of young defensive end talent and will be able to mitigate his loss

the drop off from peppers wouldn't be as significant as many people here have convinced themselves it would be.

they won't be able to resign him this offseason and will get a 3rd if they're lucky

the patriots have a trillion draft picks, and his value is never going to be higher.

Tully Banta Cain is a good player, he's always hustling when i see him on the field. The guy has 3 sacks and makes 620,000$. Also, Tully has ties to NC, so I'm not sure why he wouldn't be packaged in the deal if this was going to happen.

Not sure why you cut a guy like that. Did he make a joke that Tom Brady or Randy Moss didn't like? Then they add a has been in Junior Seau.

They always keep winning though...

As CJ is far more consistent I would rather have him starting (at LDE) with Brown/Brayton (at RDE). Even if we only get the Raiders first (as it will be a top 8 pick) I would rip there arm off.

but you do acknowledge that this season....if they trade him it hurts the team to some degree now and the real benefit comes after this season. Why would Fox/Hurney be concerned about improving the situation for the next coach and almost ensuring they will be gone?

fox and hurney aren't going anywhere.

ok, then I can accept your reasoning if you think they are safe regardless....then your trade makes sense.

I don't think they are as safe. A 5 win season and odds are strong if you keep Fox the QB situation will still be Jake and then back to finding a backup "just in case" to groom for the future....leading to another doomed season. I think Richardson is gonna feel too much heat after this season to not make a move w/ a 5 or 6 win season given the roster of talent (not to mention the unCarolina type behavior that seems to be occuring in the lockerrom. Not saying that atmosphere is fully here yet....but signs are foreshadowing it)

Peppers is not going anywhere. That would just be cutting Fox's and Hurney's throat mid season

I agree Fox and Hurney are not going anywhere as long as Peppers stays this year

Then JR you need to hurry up and trade him. So we can be rid of this embarrassment.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
