You are funny with this.
One thing for sure with the Pats, they always deliver a good super bowl win or lose.
I've always said this. Before i die, I want to get drunk in the second quarter of a Patriots blowout. Three of their championships, I was exhausted and speechless...good for nothing but bed...at the end of the game. The most fun I ever had at a sbowl was manning getting spanked by the hawks. just brought home a 60" plasma and was a little tipsy at kickoff. Had no 'horse' in the race, but was delighted to see the anointed one get his comeuppance.

Honestly those rings are so huge they look uncomfortable to wear.
That's the case with all SB rings though.
He doesn't look uncomfortable...

No chance. They are young, inexperienced, and not full grown. A lot of the kids would run out of gas towards the end of the season. But I'd watch.

Kind of a dumb move on her part.
She wants him to retire. He wants to play. She is a spoiled brat having a tantrum. Does ANYONE believe this? The NFL onfield experts have missed all these injuries. He was CLEARLY concussed at the end of the Superbowl. #FAKENEWS

Guys, I wasn't doubting that they will be good, if not the best offense in the AFC... I was saying that the players they have aren't all HOF players like the media are gushing over them to be.
They will be near or at the top of the afc offenses because of brady and belichick... not because the other players are superstars...
Your title is 'Patriots offense... meh?' I think the offense will be amazing. The most important characteristic of the players you listed is their ability to work with TB12. They see the game as he sees it and react to the unanticipated just as he would expect. We have had some very good players who did not work out, so I trust in the coach to find the pieces to build a team. The offense will not be... meh. Trust me.

Seems to me that would be a sign and trade.

Am i the only one that doesn't think the patriots offense is loaded with an embarrasment of riches? Just about every nfl journalist is all over them, but I just don't see it.
Belichick is a coach who commits fully to having a cohesive team. As he said in Ron Jaworski’s book Games That Changed the Game, “It’s not about collecting talent, it’s about building a team. Some players fit better into one system or style of play than they do in another.”

Yeah, and I'm getting sick of the Patriot obsession. (I know I've been guilty.) They weren't by and large the best team in the league last year, and Blount or Brandin Cook or Dwayne Allen aren't making them invincible. They're just one of seven or eight teams seemingly out in front now.
Any given team on any given Sunday, but which teams are on your list and in what order?

Start cying. Those wiley Pats used a seldom used "loop-hole" to make it difficult for him to sign anywhere. They will have him this year for 1.1 milion dollars.
Another kinda cheesy move by the New England Asterisks.
tho Blount kinda deserves it for what he (with help and direction from the hoody) did to the Steelers.
gotta give ne credit tho. They know ALL the rules. They often don't follow them, but they sure know them.
TenderGate. Won't be long before the Competition Committee convenes to change the rules. I'm surprised the Competition Committee hasn't instituted term limits for coaches. Let's face it, that is the only way to level the playing field.

ever since that crap bowl 25 point lead debacle I think I've really given up football for a few years.
It's hard to watch the Superbowl when the Pats play. I am a nervous wreck until the final seconds tick off the clock. I think those Giants games took a few months off my life. The ones they one did too. The last two, I was simply staring at the television with my mouth wide open -- I could not believe how the game ended. I keep hoping for a Pats blowout from start to finish so I can relax, celebrate, and have fun.
That said, I do not know how anyone could complain about the games they have played in. Win or lose, these were among the closest games in playoff history. We were treated to amazing play and unbelievable plays.
As for predictions, I ALWAYS predict the Pats will go undefeated and win the Big Game. I never put money on it. If I were betting money, I would bet against the Pats simply because there is a better chance one of the other 31 teams will prevail, BUT if you asked me to pick one single team to win it all, there is no doubt I would pick the Pats. With a little waterboarding, I suspect almost everyone would.
I can't wait for the games to begin. I hate listening to the talking heads this time of year. I really wish talk radio would replace their pontificators with former players and uber (not the taxi) fans. I just want to hear people gush over great plays and crushing defeats. I would be VERY happy to never hear another rumor or leaked anything.
Let's play some football!

In Boston, a lot of the players coaches on all teams show up at the other games. It's fun for the players and fun for the fans. This week, Pats have visited the Sox, Bruins, and Celtics. It's that whole Title Town thing.
-
My take on this is that the sample time was after the SB and TB12 almost certainly had higher sales than any of the players in the game and likely more sales than players watching on television. Those sales may have been to Patriots fans around the country, but there were not likely a lot of other selling going on.

oh my bad. well in that case...
1. Aron Rogers
2. Russell Wilson
3. Drew Brees
4. Tom Brady
5. Andrew Luck
So you remove a guy from your list then insert another guy who was not on the list at #2? LOL!
Here's the list...
1.) Tom Brady
2.) Matt Ryan
3.) Derek Carr
4.) Aaron Rodgers
5.) Big Ben
TB12 earned his pay in the third third of the SB. Ryan got his team there, was the MVP, and played a pretty good first two thirds of the SB. Derek Carr is the real deal. Rodgers pooped his pants again in the big game. He can throw the ball, but cannot lead a team. Big Ben is on the list for sentimental reasons. Time for Ben to retire, but I still love the guy.
-
I kind of felt like Big Ben was hinting at his retirement. Do you think they are contenders in his decline?
I agree that the NFC Championship is the Packers vs the 'Boys.
-
He was never leaving. Coach gives some guys free reign to test the market and see what they are worth. Then they come home and get it.
-
They just signed Hightower for four years. Insane, huh?

So 2 of the super bowls won by the Patriots were not gift wrapped by Seattle and Atlanta?
The Pats have been in very tight Superbowl contests. I think you look at the catch Edelman made and the one Welker didn't make and you could say those were the difference in each game. Before the interception in 49 there was a pretty amazing and totally unlikely catch. It's football. The Falcons came in with a good game plan and ran out of gas at the end. Their coach and players made some mistakes. So did TB12.

They have won 2 super bowls in 12 years, and were gift wrapped them both.
They gave won 5 superbowls in 15 years and one loss was gift wrapped for the Giants. The Pats have played in half the superbowls during that time. I don't see your point.

I am starting to get 2007 vibes which means a suprise NFC team will win it all next year we don't see coming.
Incorrect. If the Pats go undefeated late in the season, the game film of that Superbowl will play continuously in the locker room. This time, Shula chokes on a cork.
-
The team that won the superbowl gets Gronk back. Isn't that scary enough?

Nobody I've ever known who actually lived in Boston (and this doesn't include Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, etc, I'm talking about the high-rent districts) is actually FROM Boston. It's funny. Even my wife, when I met her, was living on Beacon Hill, but is from Queens (but went to Emerson for college and stayed here, like many do).
I grew up in MA, lived in NH for a long time, and am back in MA, and I hate going into the city. Hate it. I will avoid it like the plague. I'm less than an hour away and I'm there maybe twice a year. More like once.
One day, I'm driving in to school in Boston. I know how to get to my destination, but not much else (before GPS or google maps). My path is blocked but no detour is marked off. Two cops are standing beside the detour sign having coffee. There is plenty of room to park, so I pull over and ask how to get to my destination. One guy screws up his nose in my direction, "What do I look like a tour guide? Get out of here before I have your car towed." I have not visited Boston as a tourist since.

When the cheating field crew cleared the snowy path for the NE kicker back in the 80's, and the fans thought it was funny.
Thanks for the memory, Doug.

I hate all of Boston. It's a Los Angeles thing.
It isn't. I'm from New Hampshire, LOVE the Patriots since they were the Boston Patriots and still HATE Boston. It's a Boston thing.

A first, for 94 pass attempts in professional football. Ouch.
How many teams have spent a first on a guy with zero pass attempts in professional football? Seems to me that we have seen more out of Jimmy G. than any of the QBs in the draft. What we have seen is very good.
The only risk in choosing JG over a college QB is that you will have to pay him sooner.
You are funny with this.

I have been predicting the Pat's perfect season for nearly 50 years. No reason to stop now. That said, this looks like a promising campaign. It's just SO HARD to beat 31 teams over 19 games given all the variables of the campaign -- schedule, injuries, weather, luck.
I disagree with OP that having four good teams is good for the nfl. Personally, I prefer the 'no best teams' scenario where each Sunday changes the playoff window. I don't think we will see that again until Belichick hangs up his cleats.
