This team is going to look very different after this year, going to be a lot of turnover.

Pats are up against it next year, though. Not necessarily financially, but they have to make some hard decisions.

McCourty is a UFA. Brady is going to have to restructure/extend again. Gillmore's cap it doubles to over $18M.

However, they have set themselves up nicely:

Hightower
Cannon (RT)
Gostkowski
Bennet
Chung

All those guys are cheaper to cut than keep, and Hightower & Bennett are a LOT cheaper.

This is their year.

Mathieu is playing up to it.

He is. He's been a great addition.

Breeland has been good too in spite of his bad game on Sunday.

The #Chiefs run defense is basically: Oh, hey Frank Clark! And then... terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible (via Football Outsiders). pic.twitter.com/QahoYX2Av7

I can't believe we're still sitting here 2 offseasons later still trying to figure out how to fix the ****ing run d.

You know what's so impressive about that play? He tried to engage the blocker for his LBer first.

He wasn't trying to shoot a gap to destroy the play - he tried to engage the man and play within the system to ensure his teammates could do their job. When the blocker shot past him and effectively too himself out of the play, only then did Donald try to blow upfield.

He's just so damn good. He's guilty of taking plays off more than I'd like but when you're that big and play that often, I understand needing a blow here and there. It's not ideal but it's the reality of the position.

But to play with virtually perfect technique, remain schematically sound and STILL make the impact he does is just unreal.

This play is just a fucking smorgasbord of suck.

Clark gets washed out, legit doesn’t even put up a fight. #50’s over there salsa dancing around a fucking slot WR. Chris Jones quits on the backside pursuit. Neither Hitchens or Wilson fill the two gaps right in front of them.. just terrible.

Hilariously, if just like one of these fucking clowns steps up, that play goes for a routine 2-3 yards. But of three or four guys who were in position to make a play, not a single one did.

Outstanding post. Will return to read again.

We just came out unbelievably flat and lifeless on Sunday. Which is weird for a night home game.

The Colts clearly had this one circled and of course so did Houston.

How we bounce back vs. the Texans will say a lot.

I really hope that play fucking kickstarts his season, so far it’s been pretty much shit
