Brain struggling to compute the Pats jerseys

They look like they got messed up in the wash and faded.

I think it might be YInMn blue

I'm not sure what that color has to do with the Patriots.

If this were the chiefs with wins against all these top contenders, they’d be saying how resilient they are, how they just know how to win, blah blah

During the year they rank the Eagles around 6 to 10

They win the SB again and Hurts gets MVP #2

The clowns say well it was easy since the Eagles are clearly the best team.

Watching the Jets offense is painful.

And yet they beat the Rams, Bucs, Chiefs, and Packers already this year.

These clowns on ESPN don't even realize how stupid they are. I watched that segment and one of those former OL bus boys said that the dysfunction would catch up to the Eagles and cost them which is funny since we heard the same thing last year and all they did was have a historic playoff run and win the SB.

We agree on some things, and you make some good points. Last year, the line and the run game were much more consistent. Lane said it a few weeks ago, and Brown has said it continually that the offense needs to get better. If it doesn't I think it will cost them, which is a shame because they have all the talent on both sides of the ball, and the defense is really coming together.

The Rams are a good team that would have beaten them the last two times in Philly if it wasn't for Carter making plays in both. I'm not scared of any team IF they show up, but KP doesn't seem up to the task, which does concern me. I think they are right that if they don't fix the passing game they will be in trouble. The difference between this year and last is KM was able to correct things and call good games. This guy calling plays is a step above two years ago when things fell apart. This week should be telling. Hopefully, he has another game like NY and Minn.

Also, last year they didn't have the highest % of 3 and outs. They had long sustained drives keeping the defense fresh all year. The sky isn't falling. Not even close. But they have work to do.

Trade for Aj Brown 😂

Titans really had Vrabel and AJ Brown and said nah we're good.

Don't forget Derrick Henry who clearly isn't done yet

They were 9-7 with an AFCCG trip, 11-5, and 12-5 then they blew it up.

17-43 since they traded AJ Brown.

Lions whole staff has been extremely respectful this whole week. Making it hard for me to hate them Sunday

Jared Goff is 1-4 vs the Eagles. Jalen Hurts is 2-0 vs the Lions.

This is how I imagine the offense went : "Yeah, they’ve got a lot of guys who are top 5-10 at their position. We’ll combat that by protecting the flats, maybe put some DBs out there, somewhere, to say we did our due diligence.”

"Oh, and definitely watch the 3rd & long runs. They scored a TD last year.”

They do have work to do but my overall point is the following:

-Orlovsky said they won't beat teams like the Rams and Bucs playing "like this." Yet they beat those very two teams this year as well as the Chiefs in arrowhead and the Packers in Lambeau. This is also a team who has beaten the Rams three out of three times going back to last season, the Packers three out of three times, and the Chiefs two out of two. So his point as he specifically stated it doesn't make sense factually. Had he said it could cost them down the ine against teams like so and so there is some validity to it. Saying they can't beat them playing like this when they already did is just stupid.

-As for Compton's comment. First off, him and his bus buddy just come off as dumb frat guy jocks which is probably what ESPN is going for sadly enough. Second he tried to sound all smart by quoting some psych book and said there was no way they could win another SB with all of this dysfunction. Again, this is factually incorrect and a terrible point since they had the same dysfunction last season and won the SB.

At some point this team should team, Hurts, Sirianni, etc should have earned the benefit of the doubt with people but the media continues to trot out the same old tried narratives that they can't do this or that despite the fact that the very things they say they can;t do they have already done. It's so FN stupid that it just has to be rage bait.

Now, would it help if the offense improves, yes. Would it help if AJ wasn't miserable, sure. Those are different conversations though and points than the over the top nonsense ESPN and their clown shows spout about this team every day.

I agree. I have to be honest though. I love Dan Campbell and if we don't win the SB I hope it's the Lions. They are an easy team to root for based on Campbell, a bunch of their players, the city, and the lack of the success their fans have endured over the years.

What is it about Campbell that you like? And how is he different from Sirianni?

Elliott kicks his 3rd fg to win the game in the last two minutes

One. He’s an offensive mastermind. Sean Payton explained that he has the best offensive mind he’s been around while Campbell coaxed under him in NO. Siri ain’t a mastermind of anything

Their schedule hasn't been difficult by any means, but I think Maye is a good one. Think the future is bright for him

Campbell is just Sirianni in a bulkier package. He blew a chance at the SB because he kept making dumb 4th down decisions. That would have gone over really well here for sure

Was pleasantly surprised with the Patriots rivalry uniform last night. I think it's a great template for a modern Patriots uniform in red white and blue. Then someone posted this and I can't unsee it
