That AJ derby trade is looking like another suspect personnel move by BB this season though...

Brady > Belichick

Just eliminate the AFC East from the playoffs and let the AFC West fill them spots.

Good cause we need AJ to make the playoffs lol

stupid madden curse.

only reason it didnt get OBJ is because of all his zest. its like oil and water.

but for real pats fans would agree its almost like when we have Gronk its like a bonus. feels like we do without him more than with him.

id honestly rather just use him in the playoffs if that were even possible, not this year obv.

i like the offense though, i think MB is a little lazy but this could be his "its my time to shine now" realization. 

the defense is the bigger problem.

I can't wait to hear bill Simmons podcast about the front situation. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't release one for a couple weeks, just so he doesn't have to talk about it. AFC is wide open now.

I think this is the real reason they went after Bennet.

I dont think they ever intended to use them together, i think they just know by now sooner or later Gronk is going to get hurt.

Bennet nowhere near Gronk but hes a lot better backup, if not the best in the league, than other teams have.

i expect him to miss about 3 or 4 games a season. 8 weeks is tough

it's actually more. the first couple games of this year he was basically out

Honestly, I can see Garcon being retained to a cap-friendly deal. I love what D-Jax brings to the table, but I think the $ is going to be too high to keep him here in DC. Considering his age, inability to play a full 16, etc. he has some things working against him. On the plus, he's arguably the best deep threat in the league. Just have to hope that Crowder can continue to develop and take DJax's role next year. Dude is SO versatile between being able to thrive in the slot and on the outside. This was essentially a redshirt year for Doc. There was no need or rush to have him on the field. Looking back, it may have been better served to take a defensive player with the '16 first round pick, but Scot went BPA. I don't think that will be the strategy for the '17 draft. I'm thinking they'll go safety or ILB. We have 9 picks, so I trust Scot will do all he can to beef up the defense with younger talent.

*Kirk's insane 125+ mil contract won't hinder the team from spending. They have AMPLE cap space and Bruce Allen is fantastic at crunching #'s. There is no need for someone like Pryor on this roster. Offense is straight. Even with losing either D-Jax or Garcon.

*As far as the WRs, keep an eye on Mo Harris going forward.

Doctson isn't ready for the 1-2 WR spot I don't think. Hopefully we keep one of our WRs. I fully expect us to draft defense heavy this offseason.

I think it will be

Crowder
Garcon
Doctson

That's your trio....with the hopes Doctson slides in that #2 role by the end of next year or the start of the '18 season.

Brett Favre was tougher/durable than any QB in the league. don't make him the GOAT tho

@ CP sippin tea like Gronk didn't have a stellar year last season while his boytoy was nursing his knee.

 

[sohi 23]

Cp & Deadset, you think Miami can challenge for the AFC East now?

 

[IATT]

If eagles sign 1 skins reciever, give me garcon

Not real Broncos fans. Suspect fandom.

Patriots remaining schedule...

Rams
Ravens
Broncos
Jets
Dolphins

If the Patriots lose one game and the Dolphins run the table, the Dolphins can take the East the final week of the season.
