That leg whip on our DE was not called. that was a dirty play that cost us dearly. Cost us our best Pass rusher and a big gain all at one time. Who can say they would have scored that TD if we had rightly gotten that 15 yard penalty and kept our DE on the field. NE just expects to get every call. It doesn't work like that. Suck it up crybabies.

the ball was underthrown. if kuechly didnt mug him it still would have been picked.

 

Correct.

 

 

Lets say Luke moved out of the way, Gronk has to bowl over Lester to catch it. Offensive PI...

 

Rewatched it a dozen times.  There is zero chance that ends up a catch.

 

 

Check out the article on PFT with poll...all Pats fans crying about how the refs won the game.

 

Irony is a wonderful thing.

So I'm watching this play at least 800 times tonight, in slow motion on every sports show.

 

I just see this as more clear cut. 

 

So the argument is Gronkowski would have made the catch if Kuechly didn't hold him? How? Where does Lester factor into this.  To me, the fact that Lester intercepted the ball... it took any chance Gronkowski had of catching the ball. Now if Brady throws it high and Lester isn't a factor, OK then you say it's a hold.

 

Basically, Pats fans are saying that Gronkowski, if he wasn't held, would have jumped in front of Lester and made that catch? Let's a BIG stretch! Brady threw the ball way too low.

 

I'll admit it was holding but it was holding away from the play in IMHO. 

 

I would be livid if we lost in a play like that too, but the video is there.  Brady threw the ball right into the hands of Robert Lester.

yeah? I'm still bitching about the tuck rule.

Remember that game when they sent the Zamboni out to clean off the spot where they were going to kick that game-winning field goal?

 

That should have been an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty.

 Since when is holding away from the play not a penalty? It is called every game, on much less egregious instances. NFL rules are so weird and arbitrarily enforced it's just silly. That was obviously a penalty.

 

I wish we hadn't won on that play, but we did win and I'll take it. Regardless, we were the better team tonight.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
