Of all the cuts, Cole and Mesko were the toughest to take. Good guys, decent players given their roles.

Wonder who Spikes will cheap shot this Sunday?

My money is on him going right for the knee of Manuel.

Agreed. Mesko was a giant in terms of giving back and charity work in Boston.

He caught a TD & a bad pass by Brady. So he made a couple mistakes. He's a rooke in the second week give the guy a break.

I can be quite often.

this is painful

holy shit this team sux

Can't even remember when they were this ineffective on offense. The Cassel team was better. Please come back, Gronk!

Sooner than later, I would think. Still, he only gives them 1 weapon at TE. Is that enough?

I thought Dobson was the sure-handed guy all thru camp? Hopefully last night was just first NFL game jitters, but I was having Chad Jackson flashbacks. A good sign is that he and Thompkins can get open. Now they just have to be in the right spot and hold on to the friggin' thing. The offense could be okay if they can improve. But I'm not a buyer, yet.

Hate that Amendola is as advertised.

Spoiler: show

I agree, the good sign is that these guys can beat the guy across from them and create space for the pass to get to them. unfortunately, they can't seem to reel them in. I'm optimistic it will come, but I'm certain it won't magically improve in 10 days time... but as long as they trend up toward the playoffs.

also, why was this the only time this formation and play-action was called?



it's a thing of beauty.

looking at the top of the screen, brady could have floated it for thompkins to run under and it would have been the same result.

6 o-linemen should have been more prevalent.

and as i continue to stare at that gif as i rock back and forth in the fetal position... i'm thinking edelman might have gotten a nice gain on a pass underneath thompkins.

that play/formation should have appeared more than this one time. i don't get it. you have young guys, and you run all these option plays. this play works b/c nobody has to think. flippin' old mcdaniels...

I mean, I assume they were thinking, "We can run this once, and it'll work perfectly," but assumed the Jets would wise up to it. Doesn't mean they would have, of course.

but that's what i'm saying, based on how the D reacted to 3 OTs on the field and a quick snap, Brady had three guys that were open and he connected with the guy that was able get the TD. Even running out of that set would have been nice. It just seems odd to me.

This isn't a Super Bowl team, but I think they'll come around, I'm predicting 12-4 right now.
