here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

Lynch says, “ok if Garoppolo is off-limits would you trade us Brady?” Belichick to paraphrase (replied) “hold on, did you REALLY just ask me if I would trade Tom Brady?” Lynch persisted and an amused Belichick kept asking “did you really just ask that?”

would like to believe any of this was true

wentz!!

Wentz is must watch at this point

whoops wrong thread

Ilnfl needs to just do one reg season thread imo

ive tried to tell them but theyre addicted to their weekly thread titling lol

Shame

ILH will take over, next week we can make a second half thread

if anyone objects we will explain that basketball actually is better and we're here to help

who is "them"?? last time i brought it up ppl were adamant that we keep the weekly threads. mind you, the same ppl prob don't even post on nfl threads any more so...

Lmao Kev otm

would boycott any nfl thread made by k3v. even if it is just me posting on the rival thread that would be m/l the same experience.

who is "them"??

im glad youve come around but lets not pretend u didnt run in fear from my visionary leadership

marty b is back! somehow made it past another 28 teams teams on waivers. i guess not everyone wants to make room on the roster for an injured TE.

thinking after the game yday that the pats have quietly developed one of the best interior OL units in the league, shoring up the place where they have most successfully been attacked all the way back to first NYG super bowl. mason-andrews-thuney all look p strong per PFF metrics and you can see in game that the trouble they have had this season, when they have had it (noticeably not so much in the last few games) has been from the edges, which brady can and does step up so well to deal with. i wonder if scheme wise they have sacrificed the edge a little to bolster the interior. even so, you'd like to see solder in particular not get badly owned one on one how he has been some times this season (altho dealing with some tough personal shit of course, hard to be too hard on him)

Bringing back Dante Scarnecchia was a very good move

cant you just see bill calling him up "dante, we need ya" heh

classic scarnecchia

i know it's basically impossible given that there are only like 20 HCs in there even, but i would love to see him make the hall somehow.

Ugh

damn rip

:(

Caught Brady's first career td pass

"suspected motor vehicle accident" is a weird turn of phrase from the medical examiner

Belichick: "Deep down inside, he was a good person with good intentions and a good heart. ... It's a sad day."

this is weird too! deep down? this just makes it sound like he was an asshole most of the time

Shit, RIP Terry Glenn

rip. one of the first guys i remember from following the pats.

this is incredible journalism

the jets one where he's fighting an evil new york crocodile hot tub salesman is something special

tom is so weird, had that part of the big profile where he implies hes getting on top of his head injuries by playing brain stimulating video games floating around my mindstream for a while

the best part is its framed as a criticism of people who arent healing their brains by force of will

it's kind of embarrassing how tom brady is still the best qb in the game, I mean every year there's a fresh face who pops up with a new eye popping stat line (like wentz this year, maybe the MVP, best eagles qb since prodigal son nick foles obv) but there's brady with another boring 26/3 season, 68% completion zzz, 111 point something passer rating. I'm asleep just thinking about it.

him n bron are maybe the two greatest runs ever happening at the same time and everyone hates it lol

cannon to IR is not great. addition of kenny britt is extremely underwhelming but who are you going to get at this stage of the season.

the point and laugh after the catch 💀

love that jimmy garoppolo pulled off a perfect game-winning drive of his own minutes after brady did. respect.

you know you need 8 minutes of bill breaking down the end of the steelers game

http://www.patriots.com/video/2017/12/20/belichick-breakdown-top-plays-against-steelers

in this era we are truly #blessed with great coach bill content. love all the belestration.

Former #Steelers LB James Harrison is signing a 1 year contract with the #Patriots.

weird sequence. steelers must've known the pats would pick him up. 100% fifth column, calling it now. tbh i admire the audacity.

revenge for the blount double agent fiasco

brady on the injury report with achilles and shoulder now. falling to pieces as the season draws on. end could be much closer than it seemed at the start of the season. maybe it was only the threat of jimmy holding him together.

is gronk on the bench in bubble wrap or what..
and how all the miscues in the secondary still

lol @ entire foxboro crowd singing 'livin on a prayer' is bill making requests?

i went to a game at foxboro myself and it was all cheesy rock music all day w/heavy emphasis on 80s stadium rock, except for they seem to be into daft punk for some reason. terrible. washington's team might be disappointing on game day, but at least we have a go go drumline

they play livin on a prayer at every celtics game and have this clip of a fan doing a funny dance, its become a thing, maybe its spread to foxboro, great song tho dont get me wrong
