He's destined for failure. Just a hunch.

I absolutely despise this kid at this point. Rooting for him to be gone ASAP! Dude has an IQ under 80 IMO. Full fucking retard.

I’m saying Brissett gets knocked out either against the Jete or the Niners.

Think we could pull a certain Jets LB out of retirement for one solid hit on Jacoby to jumpstart dynasty 3.0???

Not wishing serious injury on anyone of course

...In an interview with Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, Patriots vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf said that the worst thing the team could do for Maye’s development is put him in the starting lineup before he’s ready. Wolf didn’t say when he thought Maye might be ready, but added that the plan is not because the team lacks confidence in Maye’s ability.

“We do have confidence in Drake,” Wolf said. “It’s not like we’re just going to let him collect dust for the year. He’s going to be out there in practice taking reps, he’s going to take some reps with the [starters], he’s going to take some reps on the scout team and continue to progress and develop in that regard.”

Wolf said the issue of whether Maye’s development continues in game action is one that will be impacted by how Brissett and the Patriots fare on the field...

Despite expectations that the New England Patriots could be among the worst teams in the NFL in 2024, vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf has no interest in losing on purpose for a better draft pick.

Speaking to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald (h/t NFL.com's Kevin Patra), Wolf said the following when asked about the prospect of tanking: "I think tanking cheats the game. [We] would never get in a situation where we think that's the right way to go. That's not what the NFL is all about. That's not what pro football is all about, and that's not what we're gonna be about."...

Eliot Wolf Says Patriots Won't Tank for 2025 NFL Draft Pick: 'Cheats the Game'



Dear Elliot,

We all know how this word game is played. You can't admit to tanking, because leagues will kill people and terms who do. Instead, you go with code, by saying things like "We're going to play the young guys" and "We really need to develop players", etc...

And we know that there's tanking, where it's active, and "tanking", where it's just conceded at the top and managed accordingly.


I'm not saying you're doing that. I'm just saying that it happens, and almost nobody considers it any kind of affront to the game.

Ja'Marr Chase ready to go Sunday, only to be shut down by Christian Gonzalez.

The Patriots made an addition to their injury report on Saturday.

Safety Jabrill Peppers is now listed as questionable to play against the Bengals. Peppers has a hip injury and was not on the practice report at all this week...

Looking back at the sacks Keion White had and he should've been credited with 3 full sacks. NFL needs to correct it.

17-0

Fun game to watch.

Defense looks good. Mayo looked good. Team had a good game plan.

I like Brissett but his deep balls suck.

 

[Tony2046]

Gonzalez is a keeper.

Leaves Trent Brown in the dust on one play and beats Karras on another.

He's in for a big year. It's too bad what happened to Barmore because those two could be massive building blocks up front for the future.

Absolutely wild to see him being used as a 1-tech. He’s hard to stop on stunts.
