Also what is Shaun Wade still doing here since he has been inactive for 26 out of his 32 games here? Don’t you usually either make progress or move on from guys like that?

They're going to lose by 50. At this point its just pray Mac doesn't get hurt with that line. Those inactives hurt

Actually I think the pats will hold up better than expected on defense and the rain will make things ugly. But down both starting guards against this front seven, I stick with my 3 points prediction on offense. If anyone actually wants to take over 10 for NE, I’ll take the under on $20 to the Jimmy Fund.

I’ll take the Jimmy fund bet @IdiotKicker. I’m confident in a Pats blowout. Everyone expecting a loss is soft. It’s football! Time for optimism

Done deal. I’m actually rather optimistic on this season. Just not this game without two starting OL.
Yeah, it’s one thing to be optimistic on the team, but we still need the team members to actually play.

So what are we thinking?

Mafi and Sow starting at guard?
Jake Andrews? (Reportedly, he hasn't looked great.)
Do Lowe or Wheatley have the flexibility to move inside?

Yikes.

The interesting thought exercise is if the NFL didn’t require 5 ineligible receivers on each play, what is the equilibrium we reach for how many offensive linemen would be normal.

Unfortunately, reality is that I think we’re David Andrews at C and a revolving door at every other OL position today to see if anything clicks/manage reps for guys not fully up to speed yet.

Jalen Hurts got a master’s agree in human relations?

What the hell is “human relations”?
