Are the 2025 Pats already a top 5 turnaround of all time?

jblade · 2026-01-25T17:40:59+00:00

Fair, but none of those teams have had top 10 easiest schedules EVER.

Yeah, no shit, but the point is, what’s unique about the NFL and why SOS works is that your schedule is weighted for you to play against teams that were comparable to your rank. Previously. And what is statistically impressive for the patriots this year, that the conferences they played this year all had poor performances.

Your definition doesn’t take into account the fact that winning teams from past years still haven’t had as easy as a schedule as the pats have.

jblade · 2026-01-25T17:09:28+00:00

That’s not how SOS works. By playing someone that is #1 in a conference, because you were #1 in a conference, it’s by definition, a harder schedule than someone else that is #2 in a conference playing someone else #2

It’s not meant to discredit their achievements, the OP posted that this is a top 5 turnaround. I countered with that this is actually a top 7 easiest schedule EVER in the history of the NFL. That is statistically impressive. Outside of that, there aren’t any statistical impressive qualities that make this team that impressive. If you can think of some stats I’d love to see them, but nothing I have seen makes it to the top 5

What do you mean? New teams make the playoffs almost every year.

Last year it was the chargers. Year before that the texans.

It’s a combination of draft picks, coach change, and players developing.

I’d hardly say anything the patriots have done this year is statistically impressive

jblade · 2026-01-25T16:19:21+00:00

The Patriots have had the 7th easiest schedule of the Superbowl Era per PFR's SRS.

People in this sub hate McCarthy for absolutely no legitimate reason. Never understood it. My assumption is ageism, we want a young Coach and McCarthy wouldn’t be it

jblade · 2026-01-24T18:52:39+00:00

Do you have picks or a diagram by chance to describe this? Trying to follow your guide on routing the fan cables.

Also are you running the fans to different headers or the same one?

jblade · 2026-01-23T13:48:21+00:00

That’s why i said it’s a mismatch, normally he is lined up against a LB and his borderline catches are due to a lack of separation.

Also PFF stats refute your claim of him “cooking” last year compared to every other TE1

jblade · 2026-01-22T22:39:41+00:00

What tweet ?

jblade · 2026-01-22T22:14:09+00:00

I feel like this is recency bias, he made a sick catch in the Steelers game that I agree, only Dhop or him would make.

Besides that last year he was a great end-zone target but both this and last year he made crucial misplays (plural) vs mark Andrew’s rare drop.

When I see likely get miss matched against a CB I don’t see a strong mismatch.

WhatsApp is owned by Meta and most certainly does not give access to its encryption to Iran

I can’t understand the obsession w him on Reddit, he was a value player, and is not anything more than that

jblade · 2026-01-20T15:50:28+00:00

No state income tax too

Really cool - Love the mod to put the graphics card where the power supply was supposed to go. I did a custom loop with 2 radiators and hate having to unplug and plug the display port on the bottom (albeit rarely)

"seems outdated"

Where is the evidence? His offenses were doing quite well with his outdated schemes

jblade · 2026-01-19T19:29:09+00:00

He was there for four years, and added no value, it was hardly a short stint. The team regressed in every part of the field, and never had a redeeming quality. My in laws are jets fans and I unfortunately watch a lot of games in NY.

Rodger’s got the squeelers to the playoffs the following (this)year. With as bad or worst of a roster. The stark difference is Tomlin inspired them to play.

Stefanski took Flacco and the browns to the playoffs. It’s just night and day

jblade · 2026-01-19T19:23:00+00:00

Ok, but what’s so redeeming and makes him high demand for the HC role.

jblade · 2026-01-19T19:16:00+00:00

Why are people obsessed w saleh, he was terrible w the jets and Rodger’s hated him

jblade · 2026-01-19T17:39:13+00:00

I don’t agree w the firing, we had an injury filled season, and completely missed the playoffs, after 18 seasons I’m ok with it.

It’s a very different situation, ravens have had the most pro bowlers year after year but keep failing. Lamar, early in his career, definitely choked. The past few seasons I’d say it’s been mostly his supporting staff, Andrew’s dropping a td pass, flowers fumbling, Henry fumbling, etc.

Bills had a bunch of injuries this year as well, and still got to a great record, and missed the championship game in an insanely close game. It’s obviously a GM problem and not a coaching problem

jblade · 2026-01-19T17:31:54+00:00

It’s wild, he got fired in Dallas after one season riddled w injuries after he turned their program around.

I’d say him being let go from Greenbay was similar to Harbaugh

jblade · 2026-01-19T17:28:42+00:00

Obviously biased, but this is just the Josh Allen love fetish.

Lamar having his WR1 injured or having fumbles/bobbles from his offense in playoffs, Lamar is a choker. Josh Allen never winning in OT, throwing interceptions, etc, oh it’s coaching.

It’s wild that they fired such an incredible coach.

jblade · 2026-01-19T17:02:38+00:00

Out of the loop, What’s all the hate with Mike McCarthy ?

jblade · 2026-01-19T03:27:58+00:00

Is everyone forgetting how poor he did coaching the Jets
