Deadpulse Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Great edge discipline by JC on that hold play. Sat down and forced the cut up field. Good play for such a young player just getting significant PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfournier103 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Trey Flowers was a beast yesterday. I’m loving what he’s done this season, and I’m hoping the Pats can use him and Gilmore as cornerstones for their defense going forward. I think with one good draft and a good free agent, they can bolster the defense to be as good as any in the AFC. With two good drafts and two good free agents, the new and improved D could carry them and take pressure off the offense. Im also loving the increased amount of running between the tackles. I think this will be helpful in the long run by taking pressure off of Brady (and extending his career), keeping the Pats’ D off the field, and other high powered offenses on the sideline as well. Of course all of this is obvious to anyone reading this, but I just thought I’d put it out there. Best win win of the season. Hopefully a sign of things to come, and they worked out some of the bugs.

AlNFL19 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 According to my model, the Patriots underperformed this year by win-loss record (see Miami game) and played at the 91st percentile of all teams from 2007 to 2018. Actually above the average Patriots team from 2007 to 2017 (90th percentile), a figure that gets dragged down by the 2013 and 2008 teams. Closest comparison would be the 2015 Patriots. We all know how that season ended. Edit: Here's a closer look at the Patriots' performance this year: New England Patriots (11-5) Percent over Average: 17.40982051 Offense WAR: +3.06 Passing Offense WAR: +1.55 Rushing Offense WAR: +1.51 Defense WAR: +1.43 Passing Defense WAR: +0.49 Rushing Defense WAR: +0.94 Special Teams WAR: +0.49 Passes by anyone not named Tom Brady were worth a WAR of +0.01. Passes by Brady were good for +1.54. I'm kind of surprised the run defense isn't in the negatives, but they did get better at the end and only gave up a TD on 1.9% of runs. Not one of Brady's best years (ex.: WAR on Brady passes in 2007 was +6.5), but still decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A final game blow-out of indifferent opposition does wonders for the rankings - Pats finish the year ranked 4th in off. PPG and 7th in def. PPG. Both seem...flattering. A top 5 offense without a 1000 rusher OR receiver is odd too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Saints are superbowl favourites in a year where Brees goes for fewer than 4,000 yards. A strange season it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
