    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Teaser where they get middled on 7 and 3 doesnt really balance out Jags money (and I dont think Jags/Pats money ends up that unbalanced)

    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Didnt go through a key number, but line moved from -9.5 to 8. Which means books are somewhat OK with a teaser which is....interesting.

    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Yeah, that's why I said DVOA typically overrates the Patriots running game. It also cant separate the fact out that teams have to defend Tom Brady. But they rarely lose yardage, they are somewhat effective in power situations, and Lewis ranks as one of the best backs in the league by...

    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Weighted defense is 22nd, which seems about right to a touch light to me. Not sure why you wouldnt think the Pats are a good running team. Lewis grades very well by statistical and subjective measures. Even if you dont believe in DVOA as a bit of a black box (and it does historically tend to...

    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Weighted run defense likely better, Dareus seemed to help their run defense a lot. This is a matchup where Edelman's injury is costly.

    2018 AFCCG: Jags v. Pats (Non-Brady Edition)

    Yeah, its probably going to be the easiest playoff path the Pats have had (certainly will be if Philly wins). But Atlanta, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and KC (so far) weren't up to the challenge and no one else in the AFC was up to challenge of being the one seed and in position to benefit from the...

    BBtL Discussion: Slated for Off-season

    I think you hit on the one real messageboard quality issue here. Taking shots at other teams, whatever, its part of sports messageboarding. I didnt think any of the Atlanta stuff was over the top. I have noticed occasional shots at Atlanta (and I think posted once) that I dont really...

    The Nation's Tears: Volume II

    Ravens are, and will always be, the worst. Not only are they an easy to hate franchise replete with holier-than-though scumbags, but when the Patriots play the Ravens we get to deal with Raven derangement syndrome where their 3-8* record against BB/Brady Pats is supposed to show some sort of...

    Ha, didn’t know Harbaugh’s cheating caused a rule change.

    Yes this was likely correct strategy And yes line closed 5.5 if you did any line shopping so a dramatic last few minutes. Pete Carroll ran for two to cover in the terry glenn/PI game in 1998 in a similar scenario.

    Prep for Pats rematch full time prep plan seems to have a flaw..

    Jags but most interested in Philly winning of remaining potential non Pat games

    Patriots vs. Titans Divisional Playoff: The Buildup

    The players on the team shouldnt be overlooking the game. Its a pretty boring game as a fan. Its not much different from the Bills coming to town week 16, higher stakes I guess but the Pats arent going to lose this game barring some sort of crazy injury situation. I can't say Im particularly...

    This year's ESPN hit piece

    He threw an interceptable pass to start that Steeler drive, but I think this post sums it up nicely. Also wanted to note, that Steeler game was the Pats third straight road game, fifth road game in six weeks, the road trips included a two week stint to Mexico City and Denver, and they got the...

    This year's ESPN hit piece

    I have to confess, I am 100% lost at to what Patricia taking the Giants job is supposed to mean. Does it mean he was the source? BB was the source? Coordinators are leaving so BB could threaten Kraft? I dont understand the contention.
