Same issue was with Chandler Jones.....

Let's not forget his half-naked visit to the police station.

Somehow I think if Brady did that the team would take a more forgiving approach.

Re: 2015-16 New England Patriots

My problem with this move is that it makes the team worse this year with no benefit for this season. Belichick has this problem on occasion, as not resigning Ty Law and Dion Branch most likely cost them at least one Super Bowl and maybe two. I understand the notion of keeping the team consistently good and hoping you break through once in awhile but they did go 10 years without a title and Brady's not getting any younger. Sometimes you sacrifice the future to win NOW!. There's no great teams out there in the NFL in either league that they shouldn't be able to get through. Let some of these guys go to free agency if needed.

They say that Landon Roberts was ahead of Collins on depth chart and Collins wasn't playing on running downs. I don't pay enough attention to know that but

Annoying game vs Seattle, but might be a good learning experience in that Belichick and crew may now finally realize the secondary can't cover a Pop Warner team. Wish we could get a Dante Scarnecchia type to coach them about the virtues of turning around and finding the ball instead of letting it float over your head. Also couldn't believe the TD before the half. It reminds me of the fundamentally stupid plays that you see in college. You have one job in that situation which is to not let anybody get behind you in the endzone.

I'm going to ask for a tryout. I'm about as tall as most of their CB's, which isn't a good thing, and I can't tackle either! So, why not, right?

Nice little piece on the final play.

Can you rush the passer? Seems to me that's a complementary problem. The TD at the end of the first half was clearly a blown coverage, but if Wilson had less than about a half hour to throw, he'd never have spotted a guy on the other side of the field from the direction he rolled out.

Somehow they won. They never got to Fitzpatrick until it mattered. Gronk might as well sit till playoffs. Oakland won so that sucks.

All the way!!!

Re: 2015-16 New England Patriots

Worst secondary in football! Trade them straight up for whoever the Browns have back there. Can't be any worse. They also got away with two blatant pass interferences at critical times although to be fair the Jets got away with one on Gronk.

[MissThundercat]

Gronk to IR, done for the season.
