NFL 2019 Season....The REAL Thread(+ SPOILERS)

The Antonio Brown thread is elsewhere, keep it there. Unless, of course, it is within the context of Patriot games. "Being a complete ass off the field" disc...

PA-PLAYA he Pats are finally nearing that fork in the road. The piecemeal approach with an aging, immobile QB, or is it time to move ahead with rebuilding?

Not yet, imo. They can get a couple receivers through free agency or the draft. Had Josh Gordon and AB worked out they'd be just fine now.

We assume this to be true. And it is definitely an assumption with more upside than the present. But some of Brady's play this season makes me wonder if it's all about him not having named players, or if I'm seeing diminishing skill. The easy answer would be "both" and if so - not sure what that means next season or the season after.

But hey, what do I really know. Brees has found some serious fire since returning late summer. Who's to say Brady isn't capable of doing the same thing. I just struggle to understand how these guys continue to do it, despite their age. I hurt getting out of bed in the mornings and the most physical thing I do all day is get in and out of an automobile.

Oh there's no doubt Brady's slipped some, but if nobody can get open no QB will look good.

professor Remember the Duke lacrosse thing? We all thought they were guilty, they got death threats, expelled from college, etc. Then it turns out they were falsely accused. That's lesson enough for me, especially in any she says, he says charge.

Apples and oranges - from my perspective. I'd be hesitant to state "any" or "all".

.....and a bunch of more ribs! Rub some dirt on it and get back in the game!

garyt1957 Even with the bye, I can't see NE winning a playoff game. But you never know.

They've proven you can never really count them out. I went to bed at halftime in SB against the Falcons and only SWMBO'S (Pats fan) hollering woke me up to see the impossible happen.

Well, clearly it was and is possible. Again, why they play the game.

The Patriots look beatable. Not sure the Titans will be the ones, but some team should.

However, there is no better team at adjusting than New England. Not only to the strength of the opponent, but to their own weaknesses. Even when they lose it seems they always had a chance to win at the end and just narrowly missed pulling it off. They’re almost alway in position and never give up.

Go Titans!

Ron Rivera has taken the worst job in the NFL. That is all.

That was ugly. Crown of helmet to Allen’s head that would have put Bills in field goal position to win in overtime - no call, no review. Next play, very bad call of blind side block that took away any chance of Bills kicking a game winner. I’m no Bill’s fans, but it sure looked like the fix was in to take them down.

ode

I must be thinking of a different play re the helmet to Allen as I thought they got it right with no call, but??? I thought he grounded and o line illegally touched? and would have offset. And yeah that 15 yarder was huge....by rule it's a flag, but I agree it's a horseshit rule.....what they want to avoid is the meaningless block away from the play injuring a guy (Chad Clifton cheap shot by Warren Sapp) who has no clue it's coming. The offender just needed to shield the guy or refrain from blocking. It just didn't look egregious to me and it wasn't a decleater.

johnnydoom

It was the play where Allen was running to the right side and was 3 or 4 yards down field. The guy that tackled him stuck the crown of his helmet in the side of Allen’s head, and it sure didn’t look like light or incidental contact to me, either in real time or the replay. I would have dismissed that out of hand as a missed call if they hadn’t immediately followed it up with what I think was a terrible call on the “blind-side” block.

ode

Ok he was RB.....same rules don't apply

johnnydoom

He was running, but I still didn’t think you could hit to the side of the head with the crown of the helmet. Josh didn’t lower his head that I could see. He wasn’t defenseless per se, but he didn’t lower his head and try to engage the tackler either. Maybe I’m just confused on the rules though.

ode

Defenseless player the key....and yeah confusing as hell at times. That was a helluva game. Tale of two halves....I did not like the play calling by buffalo on the 2nd to last drive and Allen can't take sacks on those two plays, but the defense was on him instantly. Gotta figure out the hot read and throw it away!

Weirfan

First NFL game I have watched all season....and it was a fun one
Not a Texans fan but Always happy to see the Bills lose , so wasn't disappointed 😉

ode

I thought the Bills outplayed them but they were on their heels the entire 2nd half......Houston will get boat raced in the next game by either Bal or KC
