Losing Edelman really hurts NE; most of the pundits thought Hoody Genius would just move on and not miss a beat
They don't have that shifty player with the ability to play inside and always get open in space when the rush comes or on key third or fourth down and short anymore.
And Hightower is the one guy on that defense they can't replace.

Kudos to Andy Reid; great job game planning. We dropped the ball the year we hired Ray Rhodes instead of Andy Reid. He outcoached Hoody Genius.

Hoody had a great quote post game. I have to find it. 8 words summed it all up...........it was something like

Bad Defense, Bad Play, Bad Coaching, Bad Game...too funny

Reid with pretty masterful game plan especially after halftime. I got blasted on Twitter after making fun of his college offense and being behind by 10 early.

Honestly, I completely agree with opening up the playbook, using motion and option, but it wasn't working early. Whether by adjustment or the lack of Hightower, it really got going later. Plus, Alex Smith looked like a different QB when all that motion allowed him to throw deep.

But he had all offseason to get ready for this one. Let's see if he keeps it up.

I agree with you and the value that WR Julian Edelman has in the Pats 'O'. He is simply crazy good. He can put up excellent 'All Purpose' Yards. He is a serious concern for any NFL Defense.

Another yes and the loss of Hightower. He's a "Key Player" in their Defensive Alignment.

I enjoy BB's grouchy quotes.

carson wentz just pulled an old timey favre type of play

avoided about 5 sacks and threw a TD

Watching Browns/Steelers and its like really old times.

Browns get ball first, here is the series:

1. Kizer to throw, feels pressure, runs outside, Steelers in zone see it and stop him for 1 yard.
2. False start Browns
3. Run to Crowell, loses 5 yards AND goes OOB because a cutback failed spectacularly
4. Draw play for 4
5. PUNT BLOCKED FOR TD. One guy was through clean, 2 others defeated blocks almost immediately. About 6 Steelers were in end zone with 1 Brown to recover TD.

That said, Kizer has enough arm to make things interesting. Kinda Tebow now, needs the WR to run himself open, he is not throwing to spots yet, but I would be guardedly optimistic there.

Wentz throws a pick to Ryan Kerrigan, DE.

Bears score on wildcat play with Glennon at WR.

Everything is normal.

I think ultimately Kizer should be a decent NFL quarterback.

Prater kicks a 58 yd FG to bring the Lions to within 1.

Ras: join up woodbuck's Pic'Em league. Be nice way to check in with you this season.

Not sure I commit to Pickem but will try and get here during the season.

It still appears as if the Texans have a QB Issue. With 6:30 left in the 3rd QTR. ** It's 19-7 Jags.

Whoops ! Make that score ** now 26 - 7 Jacksonville.

The Bengals are looking like the Bungles today. Late in the 3rd QTR.... 20 to Zippo 'RAVENS'.

The other early games are 'up for grabs'.

[pbmax]

Don't tell Bretsky, but Watt looks pretty legit versus Joe Thomas. Watt has very heavy and effective hands. I don't even remember seeing them work like that when he was a Badger. But he routinely gets Thomas' hands off him.

Tackles will adjust but its working so far.

He's also had a pick and a late hit penalty.
