  1. As I stated in the other thread, if Belichick was willing to relinquish personnel control, this is a terrible move for the franchise.
  2. Schefter reporting the Patriots and Belichick are going to part ways today. If Bill was willing to give up personnel decision making (as reports claimed) and focus just on coaching, then letting him go is a terrible move.
  3. Entertaining game despite who wins and loses and the Patriots can keep their draft position? Yes please!
  4. Zappe is 36 for 47 with 381 yards, 4 TDs (could have been 5 if not for a holding penalty) and 1 INT since this comment so I'd say he is doing pretty well in a small sample size... My point was that the Patriots do not need a QB. They need people a QB can throw the ball to.
  5. In New England. About 25 feet from the MA border. Patriots game isn't available on TV in my area. Lovely.
  6. Bailey Zappe actually looked like a capable NFL quarterback today. If he had any sort of capable wide receiver, and better play calling backing up him, he could be a great player.
  7. Yeah, more or less. I will say, the UConn banners are super consistent, and I appreciate that. (Not featured, the Whalers and Wolf Pack banners.)
  8. I'm not one to really complain about the NFL's officiating, especially with the Patriots because they usually find a way to shoot themselves in the foot even IF things go their way this year, but no flag on a clear helmet-to-helmet versus a flag because JuJu Smith-Schuster looked down at a player he hit? This league.
  9. Bills should be fine. The Patriots are making sure they shoot themselves in the foot by getting penalties at literally the absolute worst time. EDIT: Or Kendrick Bourne fumbles the football at literally the absolute worst time. Jesus this team. TV announcers gonna play this up like nobody saw it coming either.
  10. This first drive by the Patriots today versus the Bills was the perfect encapsulation of the season so far. Get off to a quick start with some young guys making moves, take them off the field for the remainder of the series after making said big play, call some dumb plays to bring it to 4th down, attempt a field goal.
  11. As well as atrocious play calling. 2nd and 15? HB draw for 3 yards. 3rd and 2? Air it out 20+ yards. It’s becoming painfully predictable and I don’t know how they aren’t losing games by more.
  12. 70% of the problem on this Patriots team is the play calling. They’re essentially running the same plays as last year.
  13. Its cool to see Brad Stevens do trades to make the Celtics competitive now instead of the Danny Ainge era of hoarding picks and swearing the Celtics will be a dynasty in 2-3 years...
  14. This Patriots team. Myles Bryant makes a big stop, gets cooked on the next play. Mac Jones muscles through for a first down, throws an INT on the next play.
  15. We're one quarter into the new season and I'm already sick of the Kevin Hart/DraftKings commercials that are as funny as a school bus fire.
  16. As a Bruins fan, I much prefer the Reebok jerseys to the Adidas ones. I really did like the three color numbers and feel like the two color numbers on the Adidas jerseys don't really pop as much. It almost looks incomplete, especially next to the sleeve striping. I love the Bruins current set of uniforms, but yes, the Meth Bear era still rules in regards to simplicity.
  17. That’s the least of their problems. You can’t have one of your best players turn the ball over 8 times and the other not do much of anything either.
  18. The only bad thing is that this city will still act like the Celtics are going to be a dynasty. Yup. Any year now…
  19. You could also include 2010 (Marchand didn’t play, Bergeron did) when the Bruins choked away a 3-0 series lead to the Flyers and 2012 when they completely come out flat (again) in a home game seven in the first round as defending champions.
  20. The Bruins beat themselves. As much as I want to say the Panthers played better and shut down the Bruins, they didn't. Did they work harder, yes, but the Bruins seemingly changed their entire play style for this series. You are the best team in the league. You do not change your system, other teams change their systems to play you. The Bruins lost game two, and the entire city and franchise freaked out. New lines, new playing style. Unfortunately, that play style involved nothing but self-inflicted wounds. You can't consistently turn the puck over and expect to win. You can't consistently be unable to make 2 consecutive clean passes and expect to win. You can't consistently not hold onto a lead and expect to win. You can't loose three straight home games and expect to win. Good luck to Florida. Today's game was a microcosm of everything that has happened in this series. NOBODY wanted to go balls to wall (expect Tyler Bertuzzi, probably) and make a mistake. They never looked comfortable on the ice tonight and everyone looked absolutely petrified. I think the most frustrating part of today's game was Charlie McAvoy. He had a historically bad game. It was, without a doubt, the worst single performance I've ever seen out of a hockey player. That is your #1 defenseman; choking completely under the big lights. As far as Boston sports losses, this is #2 behind the Patriots/Giants Super Bowl.
