Rams are really, really bad and made the Patriots defense look like, I dunno, the Vikings defense or something. Ah well, Tom Brady got his 201st win, and the Patriots have 10 wins. Not much to take away from this game beyond that.

purkey posted:Anyone have a semi-reliable source for career pick 6s thrown? I want to see how Bortles stacks up. No, we don't. Play by play data exists only back to 1999, 1960-1998 is somewhat reliable, but not 100%, and prior to that is a god damned mess. Chase Stewart wrote about it here and crunched the numbers as of 3 years ago: http://www.footballperspective.com/most-pick-sixes-thrown-in-nfl-history/ Favre is the leader there, with 35, ahead of Dan Marino with 30. (Partial pick-6's are due to old games where multiple qb's threw passes where they don't know which one thew the pick-6) Bortles would probably be super near the top on a per pass basis though. Most of the guys with 10+ played for *forever*

Though those same Dolphins just got sodomized by the Ravens, so maybe those oline injuries ended them...

Particularly on the day where the NFL was jerking itself off about letting players have the tiniest bit of individuality.

fsif posted:The real reason people clamor for Gruden is because he has a great brand. He's charismatic, won a Super Bowl, and has spent the last few years very visibly projecting himself as a real football guy's football guy without having to actually win a game each week. and tonight's Jets - Colts game is Gruden's biggest challenge since starting QB: Brian Griese.

mcmagic posted:I didn't get a chance to see this game or any highlights but how does it happen that a QB gets yanked after only 5 pass attempts? Apparently that was into the third quarter, and he also took like 5 sacks and was just a nightmare. Kaepernick has played well in inclement weather before, so who knows, but he apparently looked like he was horrified at the concept of wind and snow yesterday.

Intruder posted:Wasn't Brissett playing with a broken thumb against the Bills? The deck was about as stacked against the Pats in that one as it possibly could be Yep. Real talk, Gronk allows the Patriots to do absurd things because he can line up anywhere and is a mismatch against anyone. Without him, the Patriots don't have the sheer escape clause where he can just beat up on anyone and make a play. Their offense can still function well, but it relies more on their rub and option routes beating man coverage or isolating linebackers on their wide receivers. They'll also probably rely on Dion Lewis more, because he can beat linebackers all day in a way White can't. Bennett has also been an injured mess for a month, so hopefully he gets healthier as they approach the playoffs. Luckily Malcolm Mitchell has been coming on and looks like an actual real NFL receiver, and if he can be a decent classic possession guy, they've got another option who can catch those 10 yard safety beaters all day, they'll be able to keep things going. Their defense is by far their biggest issue, stomping the poo poo out of a terrible Rams offense notwithstanding. The Pats could lose to the Ravens, but their offense has looked godawful outside until Sunday, and the Ravens stellar run defense isn't a strength the Patriots care much about.
