A complete domination versus a good Cleveland team. Everyone played their best today.
It's game ball time again!

I‘ll second this one. I was critical early on, and I still think the nepotism thing is a bad look generally. But credit for the D improving and looking legitimately dangerous on defense.Steve Belichick. Great defensive game plan. What? No? The board was willing to trash him when the D underperformed early this year. Doesn't he deserve some credit now that its a monster?
When you think about it, they have only had one beat-down all year, vs New Orleans. And it was only a moderate beat down, a 15 point loss. They have won games by 41, 38, 19, 18, 3 and 3. They have lost by 15, 2, 1, and 6 (OT). So 2-3 in close games, 4-1 in one-sided games.I'm sure there are reasons it doesn't matter but the Pats are now third in the NFL in point differential.
YepHe never wears that shit and I appreciate it. I find the pseudo military garb the NFL pumps out to be a bit disrespectful. They already spend too much time talking about games as battles and players as going to war. The stakes aren’t that high.
I don’t know what his issue is. He’s a 1st round pick, always pops out at practice and can’t even get a look in a game when he’s facing the 3rd-4th CB. So frustratingThe “convert Harry to TE” talk is silly. No one ever does that. Besides, the Pats put a lot of emphasis on their WR blocking.
What would be more interesting if Harry were to start catching a few balls if they start leaving him open while trying to bottle up Bourne, Meyers and the other guys.

Aren’t they second?I'm sure there are reasons it doesn't matter but the Pats are now third in the NFL in point differential.
The offensive game plan today was outstanding.McDaniels, surprisingly. Had an answer for just about everything the Browns tried to do on defense.
I continue to be surprised that anyone is surprised about McDaniels. He is elite. One of the best out there. This board and Pats fandom in general hates him. But the day he decided to ditch the Colts in February 2018 was one of the great off-season days in franchise history.McDaniels, surprisingly.

Co-sign. It's embarrassing that people bash McDaniels as much as they do. Are there playcalls we all hate? Of course. A few of the more recent ones were calls he bashed HIMSELF about in the days following the game. So yeah, he's not perfect, but oftentimes the calls people kill him for have more to do with execution than the actual playcall. Again, not ALL, there are brain farts, but for the most part he's one of the best at his job in the WORLD.I continue to be surprised that anyone is surprised about McDaniels. He is elite.

I’m sorry man but this is just off the mark. It’s embarrassing for us as fans to question him because he questions himself? I think it makes it more fair that we’re questioning calls if he’s also questioning them.Co-sign. It's embarrassing that people bash McDaniels as much as they do. Are there playcalls we all hate?

Questioning a play call or even multiple play calls is fine, it’s what all fans do. Calling him a moron and a terrible OC is ridiculous.I’m sorry man but this is just off the mark.

Agree 100%. McDaniels has been one of the top OCs in the league for quite some time. I understand when people express frustration during a game. We’re emotional, that happens. But to not recognize how good he is when things cool down is ridiculous.I continue to be surprised that anyone is surprised about McDaniels. He is elite. One of the best out there.

I have a joke for you.Adele
