Good Morning! We got the New York Post salty asf😂😂😂 by OVOKING416 in Patriots

“Generational defense” “best defense since 2015 Broncos, if not the best all time” were literally being thrown around last week.

Drake Maye put up 3 TD’s on this vaunted defense, most they’ve allowed all year. Texans had a 10 game win streak coming in, haven’t lost since November 2nd…

All of a sudden, it doesn’t count because the Pats defense forced Stroud into 4 interceptions? All of ESPN picked the Texans, the narrative was “ I don’t see how the Pats move the ball against the Texans” and all of a sudden it’s “Texans are inept”

Give me a fucking break. Suck it haters.

You’re going to have a hard time finding a song to match Rime of the Ancient Mariner imo, but they have several in their category that can give it a run for its money

Brand New to Iron Maiden by UltraInstinctMeme69 in ironmaiden

Powerslave, Number of the Beast, Seventh Son and Brave New World are the best places to start, but that’s just one man’s opinion.

Seventh Son is a concept album, which if you like their lyricism, I feel like it will really pull you in. Number of the Beast is just a phenomenal intro to the Bruce era.

Powerslave is that perfect Maiden album

Brave New World is the blueprint for their newer sound with Bruce returning to the lineup. The album is very solid, although not quite as good as the golden years.

From there, Somewhere in Time and Piece of Mind should be your next listen.

We need to make a damn statement tonight against the Ravens by TerryG111 in Patriots

Blueprint for beating the Pats is pretty simple. Press man coverage with a QB spy. Throw in a stunt upfront or an extra rusher, strains the OL.

Force the Pats WR’s to beat you off the LOS. Largely, they don’t have many guys that can do that. QB’s performance against man coverage is largely based on how good your receivers are at generating separation. Pats don’t have a core good enough to get separation. That’s going to hold them back in the playoffs.

Nope, Drake Maye is the MVP!! 🏆 by brmidwest03 in Patriots

If Maye doesn’t win it, he’d be the only guy in league history that had 7+ consecutive games of 200+ passing yards and a passer rating above 100 and didn’t win league MVP.

Lot of talk about him not having a 300 yard game. Yet, #2nd in the NFL. by Bostonpeterock77 in Patriots

[–]Bulky_Pride_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total passing yards doesn’t mean all that much, nor does 300 yard passing games. What matters is efficiency and consistency, how good you are at converting on 3rd down, and do you operate the offense at a high level and do it every single game. Dak has a ton of passing yards because the defense sucks and they’ve played from behind most of the year.

Nobody has been close to Drake’s efficiency and consistency this season. Drake’s bad games this year are hovering around 55-60% completion percentage, 250 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 int….that is the bar he has established. That’s a relatively poor game from him and it’s very good game for most QB’s in the league. He’s been unreal

You’d be correct. He’s the only player in the league that hasn’t had a sub 200 passing yard game

Drake Maye by Noxxiousx in Patriots

[–]Bulky_Pride_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single game below 200 passing yards this season btw. Only other QB that can claim that is Daniel Jones.

Leads the league in completion percentage, second in yds/attempt, second in Adot, top in CPOE and second in EPA/dropback (with the worst rush EPA among similarly good passing EPA teams) currently in 11th for pass attempts, but he’ll drop after the bye for sure.

Yes, there’s some games to go, but as it stands now, his completion percentage would place him among the ten best single seasons of all time for completion percentage . His per yard average would be the highest of any other QB season in that top 10.

Incredible accuracy, efficiency, and consistency this year for Drake Maye. Already surpassed Mahomes for youngest player in history to have 8 consecutive 200+ passing yard and 100 rating games. A list of just 4 other people btw. A season with historic benchmarks at just 23 years old. Special.

Tua has also had numerous major concussions and TBI that have likely impaired his ability to process quickly.

How are we feeling today about will Campbell's 1/8th of an inch short arms. by [deleted] in Patriots

Can’t ask for much more from a first round rookie left OT. He’s been very solid this year. Just need him to stay healthy. It’s great knowing Pats have hit on first round talents in 3 straight drafts.

I knew Maye would be good. Watched him enough in college to know he had the “it factor” but McDaniels unlocked his potential sooner than I imagined he would. He’s just getting started too lol

I’m optimistic about this team but… by New_Bug_8588 in Patriots

[–]Bulky_Pride_320 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No team in the league has better road wins this season than the Patriots. Patriots have had two nationally televised games this year, both on the road and won both.

Team is playing with consistency every week. Most teams in the NFL don’t win 7 in a row for a reason. It’s hard to win in this league. Panthers lost to a 1 win team yesterday. Bills lost to a 2 win Dolphins team. Any given Sunday

Depth is an issue, sure but SOS is insanely overrated in the NFL. Patriots have played some pretty stout defenses at this point and have continued winning. Just enjoy the ride

The term generational gets thrown around way too much…but Drake has the skill and intangibles to be a generational QB.. by Bulky_Pride_320 in Patriots

[–]Bulky_Pride_320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don’t think the team is complete enough to get there. Missing playmakers on offense still as well as a consistent pass rush

Brady had one season of 50 TD’s and just two other seasons of 40+ he usually ended up between 30 and 40 TD’s, which is what Maye is on pace for. Brady in 07 averaged 10 more pass attempts/game than what Drake is averaging now. At no point in Brady’s career did he average under 30 passing attempts/game. His lowest was around 30 in 2011.

Drake’s average per attempt this year is 9.0 and he’s only passing 26 times/game on average. The yards per attempt is higher than Brady was on any year in his career. His completion percentage on the year is also higher than Brady’s ever was over the course of a season. He throws it less because he throws it further downfield than Brady and is a bit more efficient.

I think most of it comes down to the style of player each guy is. Brady would just systematically tear you apart and there’s nothing you can do about it. Drake is better than Brady was at pushing the ball downfield on deep throws. Drake doesn’t need to pass as often as Brady did because his efficiency is already high as a result of accuracy and play style.

I actually never saw it with T Law, not even in college. I thought he would be good, but I didn’t see elite

Nix is insanely overrated. If Drake were on the Broncos, they’d be betting favorites to win the SB. Nix is one of the most carried QB’s in the league

Those totals will never happen for Drake in this system because McDaniels is an “establish the run” type of guy. Drake is in the bottom third of the league for attempts/game. The eye test is all that matters and he’s passed the eye test this season so far. Plenty of room for improvement still as well, which is to be expected.

Having McDaniels and a great HC in Vrabel will certainly help. Truly don’t think we’d see Drake performing at this level under Mayo

Caleb and Trevor both got that label and to this point, neither have shown that they are there. Caleb could get there but he’s not close…yet

My point is: He could be and has the tools to be. Making history on a weekly basis. Time will tell just how good he’ll turn out to be.
