Pats don't have a run game

Also it would be awesome if we could get Aaron Jones in space, toss him the ball in a one on one match-ups as well.

Just tough to beat those Pats at home. It would be great if we do. I do't think I dislike any team more than them.

Not counting the first or last week of the regular season, the last time they did not score at least 35 points at home was 10/29/17 (week 😎.

So historically speaking they're about to light up our defense

After the fight our guys showed last week, it gives me hope.
We will see just how our guys are, whether they show a strong showing or wimp out.

I think one thing that made the Rams easier to slow down (and might make the Patriots easier) is that the ball is basically going to the RB over 50% of the time if you count all the runs and passes to the RBs... so if you limit the other guys and stop the RBs, then you give give their offense some troubles.

In the Patriots case, over 21% of attempted passes have completed to the RB (mainly James White, who is 7th in the entire NFL in number of catches, beating WR Adams by 3), so I'm expecting them to keep Whitehead at ILB at least while James White is at RB.

Also of the completed passes over 31.5% have been to RBs (of course you're more likely to miss longer passes to WRs than shorter passes to RBs... but still that seems pretty high).

I was extremely heartened by the defensive game planning and effort last week, other than HHCD.

I hope we can see Burks at linebacker or perhaps Jones matching up with James White out of the backfield. Martinez simply can’t match up with him speed wise.

Perhaps I am being Pollyanna-ish, but I would not be surprised to see the Packers kick ass Sunday night and make a statement came out of this.

I'd have to stick with Martinez... while Burks has more speed he also has a lot more mistake... where Martinez has seemed to have surprisingly little errors... which I think is important against RB White who seems to be great at forcing/tricking the defenders into a mistake.

I'm not sure if the Rams are easy to slow down.

I am Simply stating that in passing situations, Martinez is not a good match on White.

Accordingly I would rather see Burks or an extra DB to cover White

I want to see what Burks, breeland, josh Jackson and josh Jones can bring to the table at some point this season. We've had a lot of potential riding the pine so far this season.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
