pats trading for akeem ayers from tenn. not really a replacement for mayo afaict but could replace collins on the outside as they move him in.

seems to have fallen out of favor but still young, sort of a reclamation project seems like.

6th for a 7th and player. that is basically free.

Akeem Ayers is a legit talent. Was out #4 ranked OLB last year. Perhaps best in a Von Miller type role. Fit in NE intriguing to watch

probably he is the new rosie colvin/adalius thomas but with a more appropriate price tag

yea this is the same dallas paid for rolando mcclain

had a dream that they traded a first-round pick for vincent jackson and i was really annoyed about it.

pats/stillers parallel is interesting - both put up 51 last week in outlandish fashion; both are getting v healthy on 3-game-straight stretches playing at home, tho each still has a big test upcoming this week

dream CAD otm

that steelers result was a big shock to me, they have looked so mediocre this season and against pretty weak opposition. the only good team they played before indy was baltimore who whupped them. the colts win is a real scalp tho, and it is a great year to be matched up vs the 2 souths. there's a real chance that san diego and kcc both miss the playoffs because unconvincing pburgh and cincy teams ride in off of that easy schedule.

Edelman nodded. He described Brady as a “football machine,” adding, “He’s in bed by eight thirty every night!”

Well, yeah

never been more jealous of a pro athlete

laughably bad "analytics" site pro football focus apparently graded the patriots offense as an aggregate -7.1 yesterday.

i was following the site for the first 3 or 4 weeks of the season and came to the conclusion that there was no obvious correlation between their formulae and reality

it is funny how much of a dork brady is. my favourite part of this was right at the end tho, when belichick comes over and brady's demeanour completely changes. looks like they have such a boss-employee relationship, and brady is terrified/overawed of bb.

idk for how long manning has just been coolly jogging off the field immediately after a td pass but it makes me love goofy jacked up brady even more.

this is the image the pats sent out with the email about bb's holiday raffle. i love that they scoured the archives for a smile and decided that him looking kinda puzzled was good enough. also the image filename is Belichick Large Blue Shirt.jpg which also needs recognition.

i will observe that from the description there the belichick foundation sound like one of the less worthy causes. might be better to help the truly needy and send 10 bucks to soldier field zzzzzing

niice!

Four of the incompletions were judged to be dropped and nine more were defended -- broken up, batted or intercepted -- by the Patriots. Both of those last two figures were season highs for Stafford. Seven of those defended passes were intended for receiver Calvin Johnson or Golden Tate. (Stafford targeted each of them with 10 passes and completed four apiece.)

from ESPN piece on stafford's performance highlighting bang up job pats pass defense did. not too shabby.

jamie collins is so good. the whole linebacking corps is looking nice right now but him, hightower and mayo (assuming he can ever get thru a season anymore) are str8 elite dudes.

tru

in other news bench browner

naw don't get carried away with those penalties. he is being told to play like that. and he's effective otherwise, a big drop off to the next guy at cb. also, some of those penalties, feeling where a receiver is is not a gddamn PI call, officials just too ready to flag his number, just like that fumble hit last week that they admitted was bs.

he has so many penalties man

the pi was a bad call, and i wholeheartedly supported the unnecessary roughness (both the act and the ensuing call).

collins is becoming a unique player in the league with his speed and timing. i love watching him blow shit up.
