here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

fyi my kid receives a book every month from PJ Library, which is part of a non-profit organization and sends out children's books with themes based around Judaism. This month's book?

In 2016 Edelman became one of three Patriots (along with Malcolm Mitchell and Martellus Bennett) to publish a children's book. Edelman's book, Flying High, is about a squirrel named Jules who learns to overcome his physical limitations through hard work and the assistance of a goat named Tom.[71]

you need to burn that in front of him

Not only do the ladies love the moves, so does coach.https://t.co/oYNgsO9pSF

Do you have any players that aren’t assholes

thanks for stopping by

pats r good, only in the fog

rip new england pats

According to a league source, Donta Hightower has a torn pectoral muscle and is out for the year. Big loss for the Patriots

Ugh

if the patriots offense can raise its play to the level of the defense they could make a real run at a championship

i will only believe in this patriots team if they acquire megatron

texans generously getting beaten on the same play action deep balls over and over to keep this interesting

jimmy g to SF for what will presumably be pick #33 or 34. timing is weird for what is a pretty fair deal, would've thought they might have been able to squeeze a bit more out a desperate team. pats a lil short behind brady now...

hopefully will draft someone a little better than ras-i dowling

wonder if they might be looking to move that pick for a linebacker or someone

yeah the timing would make sense if they are gathering resources for some other moves. but also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bring anyone in, bb often does the opposite of what you'd expect

why does SF make this deal?

i support this fever dream

I’m totally 100 million billion katrillion percent all-in on getting Kaepernick as the Pats backup QB.

SF desperately needs a QB. realistic options were, in likely order of attractiveness: cousins in the summer, jimmy g now, brissett (??) in the summer, the bad looking 2018 qb class. cousins is going to be a bidding war and will get way overpaid. he's more of a sure thing but jimmy has a higher ceiling for sure and starts next season with 10 months w/ kyle shan under his belt.

ok ty. was not aware of weak draft class

qb controversy

Lynch says, “ok if Garoppolo is off-limits would you trade us Brady?” Belichick to paraphrase (replied) “hold on, did you REALLY just ask me if I would trade Tom Brady?” Lynch persisted and an amused Belichick kept asking “did you really just ask that?”

would like to believe any of this was true

wentz!!

Wentz is must watch at this point

whoops wrong thread

Ilnfl needs to just do one reg season thread imo

ive tried to tell them but theyre addicted to their weekly thread titling lol

Shame

ILH will take over, next week we can make a second half thread

if anyone objects we will explain that basketball actually is better and we're here to help

who is "them"?? last time i brought it up ppl were adamant that we keep the weekly threads. mind you, the same ppl prob don't even post on nfl threads any more so...

Lmao Kev otm

would boycott any nfl thread made by k3v. even if it is just me posting on the rival thread that would be m/l the same experience.

who is "them"??

im glad youve come around but lets not pretend u didnt run in fear from my visionary leadership

marty b is back! somehow made it past another 28 teams teams on waivers. i guess not everyone wants to make room on the roster for an injured TE.

thinking after the game yday that the pats have quietly developed one of the best interior OL units in the league, shoring up the place where they have most successfully been attacked all the way back to first NYG super bowl. mason-andrews-thuney all look p strong per PFF metrics and you can see in game that the trouble they have had this season, when they have had it (noticeably not so much in the last few games) has been from the edges, which brady can and does step up so well to deal with. i wonder if scheme wise they have sacrificed the edge a little to bolster the interior. even so, you'd like to see solder in particular not get badly owned one on one how he has been some times this season (altho dealing with some tough personal shit of course, hard to be too hard on him)

Bringing back Dante Scarnecchia was a very good move

cant you just see bill calling him up "dante, we need ya" heh

classic scarnecchia

i know it's basically impossible given that there are only like 20 HCs in there even, but i would love to see him make the hall somehow.

Ugh

damn rip

:(

Caught Brady's first career td pass

"suspected motor vehicle accident" is a weird turn of phrase from the medical examiner

Belichick: "Deep down inside, he was a good person with good intentions and a good heart. ... It's a sad day."

this is weird too! deep down? this just makes it sound like he was an asshole most of the time

Shit, RIP Terry Glenn

rip. one of the first guys i remember from following the pats.
