So with his first ever trade to the Jets,
isn't Belechek kind of saying.... Look, you guys suck so bad that I'm not even
concerned anymore about you getting a player that may improve your team.
We are so much better than you that you'll never catch up.
Its sort of like for many years he had a little bit of respect for the Jets, but now,
well he knows they're a lost cause.LOL.
Heard earlier that Troy Brown worked with Antonio pretty much everynight this past week until 10pm trying to teach him the Pats system. Hopefully his time with Troy taught him a bit of class.
At first, when the rape allegations broke, I was thinking to myself "Can we just pretend none of this happened and get Demaryius Thomas back?" But the last two days, I am starting to feel good about the situation. AB is one of the 2 best receivers in the game. BB is trying to put together an unstoppable force. And, most importantly, with all of the controversy and unfounded allegations against the Pats over these years, I believe the team might rally around AB and give him something he needs to become a next-level teammate as opposed to just a next-level player.
WIshful thinking? We will see.....I am sticking to what I always say. After 28-3, it's all gravy.

For whatever reason, the Miami home game is always a bear for the Patriots. It will take a 180 for both teams from last week, but I am not taking this game for granted.

Yep, it’s only 7-0 Pats. Bear of a game in Miami as usual. Historically in the Brady era, the Pats have been 8-11 there was an overall .700+ record on the road elsewhere.

That Miami team is atrocious. They should make Rosen the starter and see what he can do,the entire team is learning a new system and he can't be any worse than Fitzpatrick.
The Jets vs. Miami should interesting ... sort of like game between the Eagles and Pittsburg in late 1960s when the loser got the first round draft pick.
Fitzpatrick was with Tampa last year. He’s not as good now as he was then, and was the type of quarterback who could take you to a 4 and 12 season. I don’t know what the Dolphins were thinking about.

The referees just cost New Orleans a touchdown against LA. It’s starting to look like the League is the tank for the Rams.

It's not fair.....the Jets and Miami play each other twice. They get 2 extra bye weeks in the season!

I am worried about the O-Line.....and Ghost
Wynn's injury is still a question mark but from what I've read Cannon's isn't considered serious. I do think they need to add another body or two regardless of when those two come back though but I'd really like to see TE Dwayne Allen brought back. He's a free agent that was dealing with a minor injury when IIRC the Fins cut him at the end of training camp. If the OL is gonna be thin then I hope they can find some fat-a$$ TE's to help block.
Taking a break from the Jets- Browns game to say...................
I don't really love or hate the Patriots, kind of neutral, do have a lot of respect for Brady.
But I will say this, after watching the Jets try to play football tonight, I kind of realize how nice
its been to watch N.E. play such high quality football for so long.
What if we only had teams like the Jets to watch, that would be absolutely brutal.LOL.
Wynn & Cannon not playing for awhile should give the new guys the reps at practice to start some continuity on the OL. Counting the guy just signed that makes four linemen that have only been here for roughly 2-3 weeks at most.
So after New England gets another bye this week and if Buffalo beats Cincinnati in their home opener will all the talk be a must win for the division lead?
Buffalo honors Pancho before the game and that stadium will be rocking.
Since New England really hasn’t played a real game yet will they expose the #2 defense or will it be the best game week 4? Will AB even be available after all the facts and testimony is complete? Will Josh Gordon stay on the straight and narrow?
I guess perk and I will have to have this conversation soon. 😉

I'm not going to make any predictions in this regard. But it sure seems right now that the only thing keeping both the Jets and Dolphins from possibly going thru the season with no wins, is the fact that they play each other twice, and each may win their home game.
The Jets at least will get Darnold back, so perhaps they win a few games, and maybe they beat the Dolphins on the road. But the Dolphins are simply the most pathetic NFL team that i've seen in a long time.

Agree, thoughts on whether the NFL goes a similar route like the NBA draft order? All non-playoff teams get a chance at the #1 pick, albeit a small one. Might prevent teams from throwing away the season, having the worst record so they can get the 1st pick. The fan base must be irate due to them dumping all their best players for draft picks. Hate to be a season ticket holder there.
There is no question that the PETS are better than the Dolphins, it’s not even close. The Dolphins will probably not win a game, they got rid of one of their best players in Minka Fitzpatrick which is mind boggling.

Oh I agree with ya. But my comments about the Jets, not all that great of a team to begin with, was in reference to now having a QB who only a week ago was on their practice squad.
Any NFL team trying to win football games with a practice squad QB, then I would recommend having a defense about equal to the 1985 Bears. LOL
Sounds good but I don’t see them doing that. I wish D Thomas worked out and they didn’t put the rookie WR on the IR. I want this team to succeed against good teams. I just feel they need more than Dorsett, Edelman and Gordon. Especially since Gordon needs to be considered a week to week commitment..

Hopefully we get through this game the way we should on paper. The potential for stupid stuff is always on the table when in Miami
Bill will have antonio drop kick at least once
And DB a play or two 🙄

These OL injuries add up, injuries is really the only thing could potentially slow this team down.
Dwayne Allen can be a bulldozer blocker, not as good as Gronk but it would be helpful to have him back

I agree @Darin …... I respect NE and BB and Brady. They know how to win.
Looks like Wynn's toe injury isn't serious and he'll be week to week. BB also signed another interior lineman in Caleb Benenoch.

"Turf toe" can linger and be a problem. I hope he is able to keep playing and playing well. That would be a benefit.

depth.
