Anyone know if Hogan's injury was truly season ending? Wonder if he's healthy if the Panthers would release him off IR.
2019 Game Goat Thread: Wk. 13 at Texans

He was more or less a warm body last year (he had a big one handed catch v KC, granted), so hard pass.
Unfortunately he agreed to terms with the Saints before Gronk's retirement. Gronk's still active status was reportedly one of the reasons he chose New Orleans.
He verbally agreed to terms with NO, but didn't officially sign until a couple weeks later. The Patriots "aggressively" pursued Cook in this period, but Cook wouldn't renege on his verbal.
Right. The Patriots pursued Cook prior to Gronk's announcement and then made another push but Cooks wouldn't renege.
Hard to fault the Patriots there.
From Reiss
With the tight ends last year unfortunately only Knox and Hock fit their usual size/athleticism bill and Knox lacked production and ran the same 3-5 routes because he was stuck at Ole Miss under Matt Luke (fired thankfully).
This year’s class (I haven’t done any deep dives yet) looks like more of glorified WRs and/or bigger guys who can’t block*. You aren’t seeing the 260+ athletes playing the position there as in years past.
*There might be a unicorn (block and receiving) in the class. If Pat Freiermuth changes his mind and declares or if we’re on to the 2021 draft class he’s the ideal Pats type. Big guy, athletic, high character, can block, and good receiver.
Jared Pinkney is another guy to consider from Vandy. He has the size but his blocking is inconsistent and he might not be near the athlete they would want early. I did some summer looks at him.

Successful teams can operate without the Gronk hybrid TE. If there aren’t really any available, Josh/BB are gonna simply have to figure it out another way.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I am ready to move on from this thread to the On To Kansas City/ thread. Perhaps I am a little biased living in the KC area (it's as obnoxious as you would expect right now), but this is the game I have been looking forward to all year. This defense is built for the Chiefs. Sorry to get off topic, but BOB & Watson can play air guitar all they want right now, they just won the SB.
Likewise. You don’t get your mojo by beating Cincy. You get it by taking out Mahomes’ Chiefs. Really curious to see how this team rebounds.
Recovering from the flu, J-Mac being healthy and perhaps some counseling for Harry and they'll be right as rain. Next week will tell us quite a bit about this team. Can't wait.
Guess I wasn't that sorry for hijacking this thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is something the Patriot should be running. Not sure if they have run something similar but this would help White or Burkhead get open.

Just what we needed today, an ESPN long take on The Patriot Way: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28218646/bill-belichick-tom-brady-big-wins-bigger-expectations-patriot-way
TL;DR: He doesn't smile and is unapologetic.

Similar to White's TD last week. I believe he was lined up in backfield to that side but they were overloaded to that side, the receivers ran everyone off and created traffic in middle.
Easy toss, catch and score
Another sign that the Patriocalypse is upon us ... when even the annual ESPN look behind the scenes is weak sauce
