And right on cue another front runner loses to a losing team. What does the Ravens loss to Miami really mean? It has been an interesting season in that every time a team looks like they are going to go on a run and be dominant they take a bad loss.

Seems like things are promising for Stevenson to play Good to hear!! I think he is ready for a real breakout performance and if he gets enough touches it could be this week. |

It has been an interesting season in that every time a team looks like they are going to go on a run and be dominant they take a bad loss. Maimi isn't nearly as bad as its record shows. QB injuries and they have still been in most games. Also the Ravens are a flawed team because Lamar Jackson isn't a good passing QB. It's funny they just keep getting him weapons, yet this issue is the QB, not the weapons. If you slow down their running, that team looks average at best. |

I didn't watch last game, did Bolden actually have a good day running the ball or was it more Josh McDaniels magic?

What the heck! The link worked for me. Just google search "Brandon Bolden vs Carolina" and it will be the first video that comes up. Or just click on "Watch on youtube"..  |

Bolden actually was really good last week.
Stevenson wasn’t at practice, Lazar reported he was going to be but he wasn’t.

We will see quite a bit of Jonnu in the backfield Sunday.

We will see quite a bit of Jonnu in the backfield Sunday. If there is no Harris or Stevenson then Josh will be seriously tested with a game plan. Are they ready to win a game on Macs arm and throwing it 40+ times, we might find out. I actually do expect one will be available. Then again Cleveland could be in the same shoes, should be interesting. |

He was showing off some impressive vision Obviously not explosive or anything but if he can play like that every week he’s a viable rotation back. And that comes from me who has been dumping on him all year (more MCD’s fault for the spots he uses him in though) |

And that comes from me who has been dumping on him all year (more MCD’s fault for the spots he uses him in though) That run with him going through guys was maybe the best run of his career. If he did that on the regular I wouldn't say a word. Yards before contact per attempt Harris 2.1, Stevenson 1.9, Taylor 1.5 and Bolden 2.9. Stevenson picks up over half his yards after contact, Harris is close to 50%, before last game Bolden was 37%, even now he's at 41.6%. Bolden gets a lot of easy wide open yards because Josh McDaniels is good at his job. |

Trent Brown activated. I know what many want to happen but curious how they play it.
My guess is they go with the opening day lineup but also "platoon" a bit to ease Brown back in. Onwenu rotating between LG and RT when they want to give the big guy a rest.

Also, Collins to IR. Bower and LaCosse elevated.
On Brown, some saying they could go a lot of 6 OL lineups.

Sure why not, have Brown and Onwenu side by side out on the right side and run, run run til the Browns can stop it. Heck the Pats already have plenty of 2 TE sets, just replace one with Brown for a series or 2 and see what happens. BB likes to push the envelope at times and this would be blowing the envelop wide open. If your a D coordinator how do you respond? You have to get big right. The Pats could still run play action and flood a zone to be a passing threat. Crazy, weird, whatever the Browns would have to respond and adjust to it. And it could ease Brown back in with minimal stats. |

Jimmy Smith inactive. In addition to Lacosse elevation, Asiasi will be active for the 1st time this season.

It looks like Onwenu to the bench, which is just about as dumb a thing as one could possibly do

It’s always impressive watching how quickly the Pats coaching staff makes adjustments in-game.
