Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 1 hour ago, aceluby said: Yep, I think we'll be hard pressed to win at home against the Bears, much less in Chicago. I doubt we'll get to 10 wins this year unless our d-line starts showing up to games so our dbs can do what they are good at -- press coverage, and our o-line does anything at all. A run game would be nice with all of these good RBs, but they can't pass or run block for shit. I wouldn’t go that far. We still need to see if that was a one off or if Mitch is becoming not a terrible QB. As for the d-line, that’s really on Griffen. They were fine the first two weeks with him. And I believe our run game is the worst in the league. This is why I said before the draft that we should use our first three picks on o-linemen, preferably guys who would be ready right out of the gate. Instead we drafted a project tackle in the second round…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikings started one year 5-0 and didn't make the playoffs, so anything can happen; but just looking at the schedules I think the Bears and Packers both have an opportunity for more wins than the Vikings. Yeah, but that year our entire line was on IR as well as several backups. The only line I’ve ever seen more beat up than that was a Chargers team from like four or five years ago where TEs were playing guard. And Bridgewater……..

Gronk? Otherwise, I pretty much agree. (In the past at least) The Patriots are the most game plan dependent offense in the league, so it's really hard to predict any kind of regular performance by individual players.

He's done shit all this year and plays ~3/4 of the game. One of the biggest busts in one of my leagues. Basically anyone I drafted has been a huge letdown or got injured across 3 very different teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes too high and gets injured all the time. I’d take him on the cheap in an auction draft, but otherwise I’d pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't argue with his injury history, however (when healthy) he is the unquestioned TE1 overall. Love Ertz and Kelce -- they simply don't rack up TDs the way Gronk has.

He has 1 TD and is averaging less than 60 yards a game. He isn't even in the top 5 for TE fantasy points, which is a really low bar for him as he usually competes w/ WR.

He looks slow this year. Injuries take their toll with time, and that big body has taken a beating over the years. Also keep in mind, he threatened to retire if he got traded. I know that largely had to do with not wanting to play with anyone other than Brady, but his retirement has been rumored now for some time. And shocking, that moron has been really good at managing his money. Combine that with him winning a power play or Belichick makes me wonder if he's some kind of idiot savant.

It's possible that he's not an idiot or a moron. He's a big partier who's never had a whiff of scandal, he integrated seamlessly into the Pats' complicated offense in his first year, he's managed to display outsized personality and occasionally go off the reservation while keeping Belichick happy, and he's been smart enough to bank his football salary and live off endorsements. He's better at life than anyone in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
