    I just caught an update since my previous comment, looks like Williams got put on the 4 week IR.

    thats not good. they really need that pressure up the middle

    I’d expect some of their rookies will now get some more run. They signed EDGE Bradyn Swinson from their PS to take Williams roster spot and I’d expect DT Josh Farmer to take up some of Williams’ snaps.

    Perk mentioned above about looking like we struck gold with Campbell & Henderson. If Farmer & Swinson can turn into regular rotational players in the coming weeks, it will mean that their top 9 picks from the 2025 draft will all be playing key roles.
    It’s been a long time since NE has had a rookie draft class that has made a similar contribution in year one, the one that sticks out to me the most was 2010 with McCourty, Gronk,Hernandez, Zoltan Mesko, Brandon Spikes and 2-3 other lesser names.

    I agree. they have gotten great mileage out of this draft class so far!!

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    100%

    They got rid of Hoodie, Mac Jones and Mayo, 3 of the best decisions in a very long time

    We can add signing Diggs to that as well

    I was scrolling through some of the SportsCardsDigest articles on their site last night and came across this Drake 1/1 sale. I’m guessing that this must be considered his best RC.

    Talk about a gorgeous card, I'm not a modern card guy but that is nice and simple and it has the Old School uniform which makes it that much better

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 32,599 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd assume that card is priced in the thousands by now lol

  • craig44craig44 Posts: 12,090 ✭✭✭✭✭

    imagine paying $164k for a card of a second year player???

    incredible!

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I don’t follow the modern card market either but Panini could have really swung for the fences with Maye’s 1/1 RCs.

    Maybe have one 1/1 using that same throwback jersey image of Drake above but instead of the shield, add a jersey swatch of the original Pat the Patriot logo instead and include Maye’s auto.

    Then they could have a 2nd 1/1 with Drake wearing his normal 2024 Patriots jersey for the image and instead of the throwback logo of the other 1/1, use a Flying Elvis swatch along with his auto.

    If Brady had a couple 1/1 RCs like that back in 2000, their value would have been astronomical today.

    An auction house just sold it in October for 164K. Here’s a link to the site where I came across it https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/shohei-ohtani-rookie-card-tops-legends-auction-during-world-series-game-7

    Imagine just being able to pay 164k for a card regardless lol

    Big time gamble for sure. Who ever bought it will either make a ton of money in the future or lose a lot.

    I like Maye a lot though so hopefully it goes way up. The Pats fans as a whole need to chill out a bit on the horny comments on his wifes ticktok cooking videos lol. They dated since middle school which is very unusual for a guy of his star power

    Chase is out, but Burrow may be in

    Burrow is practicing in full, no doubt he is a top tier QB but he is built like a vase

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 4,568 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I dont understand why they would play Burrow (which they may not) with Chase suspended. I did like Chases defense of the spit though that made me laugh. But what do they really have to gain playing the Pats with their best WR out

    One of the funniest jokes I have seen is that the Bengals defense is so bad they cant even stop Burrow from coming back

    I been saying it, they should shut him down and trade him

    They absolutely should shut him down. They basically have to win out to make the playoffs with the Pats, Bills and 2 ravens games on the schedule

    Maybe they win one of those and probably beat the Browns at the end of the year but thats just a worst draft pick.

    Pats should win next two weeks and lock in a playoff spot
