/nfl/ general

So, what exactly is Billy Belichick's draft strategy? Does he just amass picks and hope one of them produces?

>>74685485
Pretty much

>>74685406
we basically just out-possessed them the entire game, 38 minutes of possession to 21.

got a couple early redzone stops and then just ran it down their throats with ryan mathews (lol) and smallwood. julio still torched us but he had a few key drops, and we kept them out of the endzone besides a fluke deep ball.

second best defensive performance of the season for us tbqh

Draft entirely defensive players in the hopes that they continue to hold on long enough while Tom Brady does his work on the opposite end of the field

In reality though, Bill's a good drafter, not great, but certainly good. Especially among LB and DT

267 isn't that big...
i'm 235 at an inch shorter and I'm average as fuck so when you factor in things like muscle Lacy isn't really fat at all
this was all a scape goat by McCarthy for the 2015 season and latter a false flag by Ted to lower his value after he had his best season last year
it's really pathetic and telling that all of you ignorant saps are falling for it but my Seahawks know better

>>74685814
yeah, i mean what originally started this train of thought was me comparing the eagles-falcons game to the super bowl. it doesn't really matter that julio is uncoverable if the offense can't get on the field.

to further that point, i think the fact that atlanta was such a big play offense actually hurt them in both game. big julio gains and freeman or coleman breaking loose happened a lot early on, and that plus the pick six resulted in atlanta jumping out to an early lead without ever really tiring out the pats defense. similarly in our game, the falcons either got stonewalled out of the endzone or broke a big play, e.g. the long gabriel TD that was their only score of the game.

the pats and eagles both controlled the ball in their wins, the pats through short passes and james white, and the eagles through running the ball and dumping it off to sproles/ertz/jmatt.

>>74685911
It's more or less the same criticism of the wide open offense since the days of air corryell. Defense wins championships but they only in the sense that they *have* to have a major stop every quarter. This was the Achilles heel of the failcons. Their defense simply couldn't sustain success through any game. I think the purest proof of this is deion/Charles Haley literally making champs out of SF/Dallas while their offensive counterparts received the glory. Footballs weird that way.

>>74687372
I live in california so I've only ever been out to fenway twice

my very first game there I was attending with my grandpa, who had fucked up knees and had a handicapped placard and everything, so the first thing we did was go to the customer service booth and exchanged our tickets for handicapped seating so he didn't have to walk up and down the rows to our seats. And while we were there, they gave us the whole "first time to frenway package" that included little stickers and shit, and the main guy working there said they still needed to pick a fan to walk out onto the field in between innings to go hang out inside the green monster for an inning, where they change the scoreboard manually and all that shit, so I was like hell yeah sign me up. They told me to come back to the booth after the top half of the 4th inning was over so that they could walk me through the stadium onto the field level in between the 4th and 5th.

So I come back and this guy starts leading me through the park, where all the field technician shit was, like rakes and john deere gators and shit, it was pretty cool, but the guy got a little lost so we ended up having to run around like chickens with our heads caught off until we ended up on the field level of the 3rd base line where one of the ball girls sits because she was gonna escort me onto the outfield and into the green monster but we were obviously a little late, so we pretty much ran full sprint across the field as the players were just standing there waiting for me to get inside so they could start the inning because they had already finished warming up lmao. So I inadvertently, delayed the game by about a minute or two, and I ran about 10 feet by Carl Crawford, what a bum that guy turned out to be.

being inside the green monster itself was pretty cool, the guys inside were using espn to check the scores and update the board that way haha

it was all pretty cash, that's a memory I'll never forget.

Seriously. Gnat fags forget that Marshall is coming off the worst year of his career and is more focused on setting his post career media job now.

19-0 if butler stays 2bh

>>74689052
The Jets had a bottom 3 QB situation in the league and he still managed 800 yards. He can still be a great 2nd option and a red zone target

>>74689269

Fitz isnt that bad.

Hes at lead 800 yd tire

the team is bad though

>>74689307
>Fitz isnt that bad.
He was fucking terrible. Petty and Goff were probably the only worse QBs that started multiple games last season

>>74689269
He has to play with Eli Manning now opposite the only other receiver in the league that's a bigger bitch than he is. It's going to be a shit show.

>>74688150

"Brady sucks in MileHigh" isn't a meme, even if he's going up against Semen and a Ware-less defense.

>>74685895
Thanks for the input, fatso.

>>74689445

the defense is still a bully, no matter what their QB situation with Semolina is

>>74688414

I thought Lacy was a good addition. He got 5.1 ypc with his fat ass

>>74689547
and brady still wasnt great, the broncos offense scored 3 fucking points

>>74689577
Who gives a shit about Brady's stats? The Patriots won easily and will win there again.

What fucking move do you want them to make? They tried to bring in O-linemen. Got one. They got priced out of Lang. They're working with the money they have. Brought in Lacy with an incentive based contract so he has reasons to not get fat.

>>74689589

The good thing about the Patriots is that you don't have to imagine them getting better.

>>74689950

LOL

>>74689975

every year I hear patriots fans predicting 19-0. it's a joke.

>>74690005
>every year I hear patriots fans predicting 19-0
And when exactly did I do that?

>>74689937
Denver needs to shore up their run defense as well. Especially since the Pats have White, Lewis, possibly Blount, and Burkhead as running options.

>>74690030
my bad I guess i'm confusing you with another anon
pretty bad on me considering the flag difference
anyways the Tom Brady patriots have always been among the best teams in the league and that has not stopped them from going 3-7 in milehigh
the 3 wins being against a Danny Kanell, Tim Tebow and semen in his first year as a starter

you're an idiot if you think the Patriots have an edge there next season

>>74689950

>>74690076
>you're an idiot if you think the Patriots have an edge there next season
I was saying the same thing after the 2 losses in 2015 and kept being called delusional.

For 2017, I'm more worried about the Falcons, @Saints and the annual away divisional game that gives the Pats way more trouble than it was supposed to than @Broncos

>>74689521
That was before Lacy hit 267+ pounds bro

Lacy has to drop like 30+ pounds and then somehow keep it off.

You're delusional if you think the super bowl champs have an edge @ Denver, just because they're super bowl champs and won @ Denver last year.

DELUSIONAL! Just look at all the incredible moves Denver has made since then.

if they get Romo and he survives long enough than that's a big upgrade

>>74690120
at least you understand your team is mortal
still it's a mistake to underestimate the broncos
they would have made the playoffs in pretty much any other division

>>74689605
They are not gonna pick 3 CB's in a row

Just gotta hope Joe Mixon falls too 14 in the 2nd

>>74690076

Stanley and Yanda are practically carrying that Oline right now. If they still want to pick a pass rusher in the first, they better call Nick Mangold. If not, they can kiss goodbye any hope of playoffs.

>>74690377
Hard to say, he had that one really good year in green bay then he just couldn't stay healthy. On the one hand seahawks like to be a run first team with a power back so it makes sense. However they have no offensive line to block for him and he's a fat ass

Lions unironically have a very good chance to win the nfc north this year. If we get some defensive help during the draft, we might just win a playoff game. The vikes and Bears I'm not worried about, and the packers at best are the same, and likely got a bit worse despite acquiring Bennet.

First day out of /b/ and you don't even know how to troll.

Apply yourself.

>>74690510
For Lions to have a chance, they need
1. A really good defense
2. Have the refs on their side, for once.
3. Injure Aaron Rodgers

>>74690530
it's not?
how do you use it?

>>74690510

another 9-7 season at best

>Because the Patriots were the heroes that the NFL watching public deserved, but not the one it needed prior to this game. So ESPN, the NFL and all the other fanbases jealous of their success hunted them. We threw spygate, 18-1, deflategate,"is tom still elite?" threads at them. Because they could take it. Because the Patriots are nobodies heroes. They are silent guardians, watchful protectors of America's game. Dark knights.

and the year after his second he was all-pro

Palmer's game fell off a cliff because his arm strength is declining and Bruce Arians system requires a good deep ball.

Every single report has been that the Jets were offering far more.

There hasn't been a single report saying the Pats were offering the largest deal.

Hightower - 4 years, $43.5 million with $19 million guaranteed.

Waaay under the franchise tag tender..

Patriots fucking owned hightower wow...

So all that's left for the off season is to fleece the Browns out of the first overall and resign or trade Butler.
