No Patriots pre season game-first time in a long time--we keep our sister team, the Steelers. 8 home games, 9 road games...Darnold's first pre season game at Indy--so we will not seen him until the 2nd---will the 2nd preseason game become like the former 3rd preseason game--with starters playing the most? 

They should make both teams play 8 home games and the remaining game in Europe, Mexico, or Canada, for example.  No team should get an extra home game.

Late bye week should help, rather have it after the midpoint than before...

Could/should get wins over NYJ, HOU, PHI, NYG, ATL twice, ARI, WAS, MIA... 

Can we split with both NO & TB? Can we stifle Cam’s return to BoA?

Doesn’t seem unreasonable, unrealistic, or unreachable... that’s 12-5 without trying to Homer some blind optimism...

 

maybe a little blind......

That was a hidden benefit of the 17 game schedule I hadn't really thought about. Half the league is going to get awarded an extra home game. That's a very real revenue boost and a small, but not insignificant performance advantage

12-5 prediction for a team that everyone on our schedule is going to be looking at that game as either a definite win or at least a potential win... yeah, maybe a little blind.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
