Never forget.

Yup. I also saw a comment from Le'Veon Bell saying they were getting two 2nd rounds in a row. Looks like they failed to take Jacksonville serious.

Stupid by Lev. Why give the other team bulletin board material. Idiot.

Last year it was Antonio with his ******** video.

Anyway. Looking forward to facing another Tom Coughlin' team.

[GarthVader]

Steelers and their fans are fukking idiots. Comes from coaching.

Yes, the sign of a poorly coached team, in my opinion.

They’re far too talented to come up short so often, but here we are. They’re undisciplined and unprepared at times and the coaching is very questionable at times (eg: that onside kick).

speaking of coaches


who will be the new O / D Coordinators? Going to be an interesting offseason


Dream job for the right candidates

How can you be a professional football coach and allow this type of behavior and attitude in the locker room. Tomlin is a chit leader.

Brady hurt his throwing hand at practice. Not said to miss this week, but seems somewhat concerning. They aren't releasing much information and keep pushing his media day back. Without knowing the extent of his injury it's hard to say if it'll affect him Sunday, but I would imagine any pain would make throwing a little more difficult. Jags defense is no joke, can't have Brady not 100%.

You never want to hear any sort of injury to the throwing hand...hopefully it's no big deal but as you said Jags D is no joke. Any impact on his accuracy could lead to brutal results against a defense that's so fast and so good at creating turnovers.

Usually when those guys get their hands on the ball...they get turnovers. 49ers and Jimmy G beat them by getting the ball out lightning fast and accurate and there were a few throws I thought for sure would be picked off. Tom doesn't have the mobility of Jimmy so the OL will have to play their A+ game and the playcalling has to be on point. TEs and RBs will have to win this game IMO. The WRs will be shut down so hopefully Tom won't be forcing the ball to them.

Brady will play left handed on sunday

Good thing for New England is that their strength is getting the ball to their RBs and TE. I've found that when Cooks goes against good CBs that he can't create separation to have his way. Based on past games when New England struggled, WRs were getting pressured at the line and defenses were bringing a lot of pressure. Amendola needs to channel his Edelman again this week and our RBs need to be productive.

One thing I'm happy about is New England isn't taking Jacksonville lightly like Pittsburgh did. Belichick keeping players in check and focused on this game, not the next.

[Tyler2106]

Oh boy. Reports saying Brian Hoyer is 'ready to go' in case Brady's hand injury is too severe on Sunday. Hopefully injury report and press conference today will shed more light on the injury...

[HoganIsGOAT]

Brady is playing, take a deep breath.

[AlBHappy]

This is the most overblown injury in history. Rest it 2 more days and shoot it up. He'll play

It's no big deal that he didn't take any snaps. It's like picking a scab every time the ball is snapped. He doesn't need to take snaps. Just needs to see the defense.

I wouldn't let him take any snaps today or tomorrow either.

He's playing. Jags fans (aka anyone outside of New England) can clench their buttocks now

I would hope Hoyer and any other 2nd/3rd string player is always ready to go Lol

I hope it's being overblown. I've heard he had stitches put in, but that obviously hasn't been confirmed and could very well be rumors. He also was doing a very good job of dodging any status update about his injury. I've not paid attention to injuries in the past, but if it was overblown I would think his responses would be he'd be ready for Sunday, not "we'll see"...

It's all a game man. He is playing? Is he not? Got the other team wondering I'm sure. It's all games man.

[TAWS6]

Brady was throwing passes like nothing today. Media gunna media

[IawI]

Princess Brady is finna get EXPOSED and sent into retirement can't wait for all you *******s to bend the knee

So even if pats do lose... Brady has 5 SB Championships lol.. Not sure it's quite time to "bend the knee"... Though chances are Jags are going to get destroyed and you will make 1000 excuses.

[AlBHappy]

If he wasn't going to play, they would have brought another QB in, which they never did. Heck, Drew Bledsoe is honorary captain, suit him up.

4 stitches, web of the thumb, cut from hitting a buckle on a helmet. Supposedly, "slinging the ball pretty good" yesterday in practice.

The beauty of the Patriots, is the mad genius Ernie Adams and the coaching staff will have a game plan to move the ball on the Jags defense.

I've been watching a lot of NFL Network, and Fox Sports, about the Patriots being 20 th against the run. The Patriots defense will give up first downs. BUT, THEY DO NOT GIVE UP TOUCHDOWNS.

Even on a lousy day, the Patriots will score at least 17-20. Can Jacksonville? That's the key to the game, Can Jacksonville score.

24-13 Patriots.

Wrong. He won’t make any excuses because he’ll disappear.

Cooks is not gonna last in NE... he can't beat man coverage and it has been a problem so I don't see New England resigning the guy (maybe even trade him before next year)

when zhit gets hard u know the ball is going Gronk's way the same way last year was going to Edelman.

[DefensiveEnd896]

Not looking for any reps but Chiefs fan here. Rooting for you guys. just wanted you to know that not all NFL fans are rooting for you guys to lose tomorrow even though it may seem that way. Good luck

[biggquis]

Lol... this game will be a cakewalk. Wouldn't be surprised if they won by 20.

[reverse79]

Brady/Pats era - 5-1 at home for AFC Championship.

My body is ready. Let's GO!!!
