I wonder if any of it's sunk in. I mean just look at Bill's "coaching tree" -- one Caste Clown after another except for Mangini, who was blackballed from the league. Maybe what happened to Mangini and Chip Kelly in pretty much the same time frame sent a message to all head coaches and potential head coaches. After all they're just mostly plug-in hacks, not deep thinkers or potential martyrs.

I don't think it ever will. I think for a long time BB was regarded as a fair minded head coach when it came to the caste system here at the site. I know I was guilty of it for years. It's only the past 5 years I have come to realize that none of these coaches care or have any desire to be white friendly.When you look at the moves he made regarding white athletes - they have always been low risk/high reward. He's never stuck his neck out and drafted a white athlete very high. I think Isabella was the only player they were rumored to have liked but Arizona traded up and drafted him to rot the bench.

Interesting also that they strongly pursued Adam Humphries but he signed with Tennessee. It looked like a bad choice last year, but not this season.

Yea the Broncos just tried to get cute though with a poorly executed flea flicker - Melvin Gordon lobbed over Lock's head so the Broncos are shooting themselves in the foot.

It was a very bad choice. Pats had nothing behind Edelman, Humphries would've been a star in that offense. Instead he went to Tennessee to warm the bench most of the time. I still believe it was a very idiotic move by Humphries.

I don't think any receivers will be stars in this year's New England offense with Newton at the helm. Even the great Julian Edelman might as well be sitting on the bench. Humphries starts on a Super Bowl contender, would much rather see Tannehill throwing the ball to him than Newton.

Juszczyk with maybe the catch of the day! What a weapon!
....
What IF Kyle Juszczyk was the FEATURE BACK / Bell Cow for just one game?? 20-25 carries?? He might just surprise dwf's with a 100+ yard game rushing! Nice burst on the 10 yard run on 2nd & 1!

Edelman knee not 100% = Frustrating! He's the Heart n Soul of that team!

Beautiful throw from Herbert on that TD, Schobert played it as well as you could but the ball placement was perfect.

It would not have been Scam, but Brady. Humphries is a SCRUB in Tennessee, had 1 catch today(21 for the year, 3.5 per game, a scrub ) In NE last year he could've averaged 8-10 catches/ game EASILY, as Pats had absolutely NOTHING behind Edelman. A STAR. Brady would've been forced to feed him, as there was no one else. besides Edelman. And NE probably win the SB last year with him (Pats beat KC last season, but the refs stole the win from them).

And Bray probably signs again with the Pats this season. I still believe Humphries is an abolute idiot for what he did. When I heard the news and his "motivation", I though this guy is retarded. Nothing has changed since then.

I was as well. Belichick used Brady to make himself look good and it was difficult to see with the two of them together for so long. Now that Belichick has lost his star QB, he's been exposed. Surely a "coaching genius" like BB could make even sCam Newton look great...right?

Herbert with another long TD pass just after the Minshew threw a beautiful one of his own!

Scotty Miller stats: 6-109-1. I am praying Andy gets some action tonight.

The Boston media tomorrow will be merciless.

Even though the Broncos aren't doing well today I think Drew Lock will be a franchise quarterback. He's a player the Broncos can build around.

Herbert over 300 yards, it's becoming routine for Herbert and Burrow to throw for over 300 yards per game. We'll see how "Tua" does beginning next week, though in a league where defense has become almost as optional as it is in "big time" college football anything is possible.

Pet peeves,......I have a lot....Dudes with two last names....The over usage of the Jr, Sr, and III, IV bullcrap....another is flopping......Did I just see Derick Carr fall to the ground a bit ago after hurting his thumb?.....Did I miss something? Walk your ass to the sideline...

That’s different than flopping, but it’s lame.......

Yeah, blacks loved to have two last names nowadays. They believe it makes them important and unique. Monkey see monkey do.

“Dudes with two last names....The over usage of the Jr, Sr, and III, IV bullcrap”
That’s a ten year old pet peeve around here at least lol. You have to take into account that it’s rare for a black male to even know his father lol. So they celebrate it. I’d have loved to play pro football and my Dad would’ve been proud just seeing our last name on a jersey in the nfl like he was proud of seeing our last name on my high school jersey. No Roman numerals involved lol

I don't think they'll go after Newton. They've been overrating Newton for years. They're not going to admit they've been wrong.

They will have no qualms about going after both. It will be ugly and entertaining.

I think we are both from the same neck of the woods - the Nutmeg state. I manage to block out all the Boston and New York media though. Let us know if you hear anything funny. Newton should be roundly criticized tomorrow by the black talking heads like Stephen A. Smith, the openly racist Bomani Jones and whatever idiots comprise the undefeated. For me I am enjoying see this supposed "perfect fit" fall apart. It's also amazing to see Brady continue to play at a high level and maintain his peak competitive nature.
