Feeling pretty good this week. Some significant injuries on both sides, I wish Ruggs was playing so we could peep our defense at a more realistic level, considering they dudded last week

Better he gets healthy though

The difference with and without him is pretty big, and we need him for the long haul when we make a run for the Owl

For sure. It just sucks that he is going to miss the Chiefs game too.

Expecting a big game from Harry and Dugger today

Also, keep an eye on Sony.....could be the end for him
We will FINALLY get some Harris next week b)

Cam has settled in nicely. 11 wins seems realistic for this team. Only problem is that Buffalo might get 12. Seems like the whole season will hinge on h2h games.

In due time. I still saw a few plays where it looks as if he feels like the game is on him, and if he can erase the plays where he's trying to overcompensate then that's ideal

All in all Cam has looked great for us, excited for the future

Belichick engineered that car crash to inspire the team. This works on 3 levels:

1) The running game is as good as its ever been

2) White is resting, staying fresh for when he's needed to carry the load later

3) the games he misses will help Belichick manipulate the stats. White's statistics will fall just short of the milestones his contract needs to hit a bonus.

5d chess, as usual

Patriots have 0 snaps in base defense so far? Can anyone confirm this?

Hearing A LOT of hate towards Bentley....it needs to stop. He is set up to FAIL. We don't have a DT and he has no LBs with him...Pats are using an extra corner and safety on every snap. Give the guy some time to learn this system ffs.

The run is going to be there all day for ANY team that wants it. Patriots goal on defense is to make sure the clock is ticking. Can't wait to see if KC takes the runs or if Mahomes just attacks deep like Wilson did on those 2 spectacular throws. The 2nd TD to the random WR was just an insane catch.

I never thought I'd say this, but it might be a good idea for the Patriots to forfeit the next game. That might increase their chances of going further in the playoffs.

Continuing to practice and play over the next week is going to lead to more positive tests. More positives mean more players out for future games.

Realistically, they weren't going to beat the Chiefs anyway. Why risk injury, and covid-spreading for nothing. Let the players isolate and rest. Come back with a full squad after that. Win the next 4 games after that and be 6-2. The game against Buffalo in 3 weeks is the one that actually matters.
