NFR NFL 2023 Season

Dallas is not playing well. Expected more with all the hype. But not actually surprised.
 
I don't think there's any team the Pats have a chance against right now.
Remind me not to tell you a joke on Saturday night.
 
The 'Boys need to put in their prevent offense.

Prevent throwing interceptions?

Let SF run the ball. Works everytime...
 
Powers that be must want the Vikings to win, 4 flags against the chiefs in a single drive ...

Go Chiefs!!
I didn't see the whole game but that non-call on the interference when the Vikes were driving to tie the game, was a gift. So was the non-call on taking off the helmet. I think Mahomes and the Chiefs get their share of calls.
 
I think they have a good team.

I don't believe to much in Rodgers in NYC. I suspect that he will get himself into controversy. Buffalo is good but their coach is a damned fool idiot. Allen is something else and gives the Pats fits by extending plays. The Bills just seem to be ready to implode though.

Miami is talented. Gotta wonder if that QB will survive though. I'm betting no. Poor guy probably should retire, honestly.

I like the Pats chances. The defense could be really really good. This is the most talented and deepest defense that I have seen in NE since their last superbowl. Sorry @DimeBrite The secondary is exceptionally versatile. They are smart too. The D-line is big and powerful and they have added speed all over compared to where they were 2 years ago. They will confuse a lot of QB's......not just Jared Goff and Zach Wilson. I can see Allen and Rodgers struggle with figuring out what they are doing.

The offense will be better. It was truly awful last year and they were 8-9. They scored like 6 defensive and special teams TD's. There were games (jets) where the defense and special teams won the game because the offense was so bad. The whole Patricia/ Judge deal was a complete failure. They had to take out all play action last year because the coaches could not coach it. Bill O'Brien will get them to execute. Trent Brown came into camp early. If he is ready to play the line could be excellent. No more 370 lb players running outside zone runs. He should bring out the best in Jones too. They seem to actually like each other. There is a chance that the Pats trade for another receiver too. They have plenty of cap room.

If they get the Mac Jones of 2021 (and why wouldn't they) and the defense plays as it should, I think the win 11 or 12. When BB has defensive talent like this, he really tends to maximize it. That offense was awful last year. They won't be this year.

Not a good football team. A very bad offensive team. Nothing good going on in New England right now. My beloved Patsies are playing like patsies.
They did beat the Jets, so they got that going for them.
At present they do not do anything well.

Same share as everyone else - the no call on the interference was correct, clearly not a catchable ball, 20 to 30 feet away - the helmet, I will give you, coulda, shoulda been called, doubt that was determinative.

cheers
 
Lions are looking good, Geoff playing much better QB than when in LA
Speed of the Fins' is hella fun to watch, Hill just a flat out burner, Tua stays healthy they be in there
Hurd impresses as the most self-improved QB maybe ever, easily the chillest dude in the league
Niners stay healthy, they can beat anyone
