7-2 would look even better!!
This draft class IS looking like it is kick starting the Pats right back into a playoff level contender. The three of them certainly look like major parts to a very good team, can't say enough about their contributions. The nonfumble by Stevenson that cost him a few games could be a blessing in disguise when it comes to ball security.
The biggest thing though is obviously Mac Jones. When you look at all the franchises that struggle to compete for years because they can't find a QB it really is special and lucky. The Pats have their QB and he fits their system perfectly. And they didn't have to give up a single extra pick to get him. I don't want to do the research but how many top QBs cost the drafting team a boatload of picks. Then how many times did a team give up all those picks just to get a dud QB that didn't make it. The Pats and us fans are beyond fortunate to have drafted Mac at 15 and for him to be already proving that he is that guy who can lead a SB contender.
Pats have 5 wins at the halfway point and only 2 teams in the AFC have more, never seen such parity. And what is Buffalos problem? Are they too cocky, are they really not that great. They haven't looked all that good lately. Pats can definitely split with them so 10 wins looks reasonable maybe 11 with a little luck. My bet is looking better every week.

If they can beat the Browns next week, they are a legit team and can surprise in the playoffs.

James Ferentz has been waived, per Mike Reiss. This clears up a spot on the 53.
ADD - This week is the deadline to activate Stidham and Cowart to the 53, per Mark Daniels (Prov Journal).
Also, Ben Mason and Drake Jackson were released from the PS.

I’ll be so happy if we can run Brown out there for Wynn. I’m not counting on Brown though, I’ve mostly written him off

Chubb tested positive for COVID… let’s hope he’s ok but that he misses Sunday.

Patriots use the open roster spot to activate Stidham, per reports.
Also, Poole released from PS and Ferentz cleared waivers and will re-sign to the PS.
Think that still leaves to PS spots open. RBs perhaps?

RBs perhaps? Reports seem to indicate it will be a back. We work any guys out the last few weeks? Texans should just cut Burkhead already, what we waiting for Houston? Don’t make him end the season with y’all! |

If he keeps his head straight this could be like when Vince fell in the draft. |

Can we end the debate that JC Jackson isn't a good #1 CB?

Also, it appears the Patriots are very interested in adding OBJ…. Lots of Packers talk too.

Trent Brown at practice today I am hoping he can be a difference maker, first he has to stay on the field. |

I want to know Trent Browns weight week one and now before week ten after dealing with a calf injury that likely limited his ability to stay in shape.

Stevenson and Harris missed practice again… if they are out today then the Pats are basically screwed against the Browns offensively.

That they havent even brought a RB to the PS makes me think at least 1 of them will be available.

They'll activate Taylor, who can be an interesting runner. This will be a defining game for the season, until they meet Buffalo.
I hope they let Jones loose a little more, just to see what he's got.
