Re: Around the NFL...Week 2 Style!
 

[quote=donofriose;1025071]First two games of the season and divisional opponents. I wouldn't be too concerned if I was a Patriots fan. Remember last year they started 1-2. A lot of things tend to change within 17 weeks. Last year Denver started 2-3 as well and got dominated by Atlanta/Houston, they ended 13-3.

I honestly get more concerned for teams that start out hot because they tend to sizzle out at the worst times of the years, (Philly, Houston, Arizona, and Chicago).[/quote]

Yeah except Denver had talent. The Pats cupboard is looking pretty bare and as Brady said himself, nobody is coming to save the day for us.

Their season basically depends on Gronk/Amendola coming back. Those are huge ifs though with both being made of glass.
If one comes back they will be in playoff contention.
If both come back at the end of the year they will be in super bowl contention.

Also those receivers they have no just started their first two games. The team will look very different after 17 weeks of football.

no chance the pats beat denver in the playoffs

Re: Around the NFL...Week 2 Style!
 

New England will be a playoff team only because they are in such a terrible division. They have no receivers, no running game, and their defense is meh. A lot of people will say, Belichick/Brady will pull it off, but I don't understand why as a team they've put themselves in that position. It seems that for the past five years they always have multiple first/second round picks or are involved in ridiculously one-sided trades that benefits them. Yet, they've never invested on top talent either through the draft or through free agency.

Unless something drastically happens, I just don't see them beating teams like Denver, Houston, Baltimore, even Indy.

Yeah I think at best they're the 6th best team in the AFC. I don't see them going far this year at all. Maybe they win the divison with 9 or 10 wins and get bounced in the first round.

Well, Von Miller could get suspended longer (just caught driving on suspended license) and Peyton Manning could get hurt running one of those pistol plays...

Re: Around the NFL...Week 2 Style!
 

I've never seen Brady get THAT pissed during a game. I thought he was going to pop an artery. You know they are in trouble when he gets to that level of frustration.

Freemon asking for a trade.. that was fast

Amendola tore his the ligaments connecting his leg muscles to his hips. Will be out for an extended period.
Guy is made of tinker toy toys and rubber bands.

Sorry. Not his ligaments. Tore his abductor muscle which connects legs to hips. Also possible sports hernia. Out 3-4 weeks.

Awesome throw by ej manual. Wow

Re: Around the NFL...Week 2 Style!
 

Panthers decided not to guard Stevie Johnson on the last play of the game. Wide open in the end zone. Not a guy within 10 yards of him. Game winning TD.
