Atlanta - New England * SB LI game thread *

[IrishNW]

depth is a luxury, we still have to many holes to worry about depth

And where did those holes come from?

The answer begins with looking at all of the draft picks cut or completely nonproductive since 2012.

besides 2013 (one of the worst draft classes in long time) we have had very productive drafts. Maybe your expectations are just to high

Your opinion.
Or maybe the drafts have rather stunk.
And it's certainly been debated in depth on the main board.

2013-2015 contributors via draft:

LWillson
PRich
Britt
Glow
Lockett
Clark
(should add Graham?)

Very productive...? 2 studs and 2 late-bloomers? That has to be well below league average. I posted a breakdown that showed the Pats have exactly twice as many solid contributers from the same 3 drafts. Thank goodness Britt and PRich finally came on.

league average? whats the league average for "studs" drafted per team? I doubt the seahawks are below "league average".

Paul Richardson
Cassius Marsh

GaGa slayed that halftime show.

Bruno Mars was better

It's slayed, may it never live again

Celine Dion could of sang at 48 and every hawks fan woulda loved it...

GaGa slayed that halftime show.

Bruno Mars was better

He also looks more like a lady.

 

[Threedee]

Yes, was taunting the Bevell haters. Your man Josh's offense has put up 3 freaking points! Lmao

Brady is struggling too, fun to watch.

Josh beat Darrell.

PWN

I thought she did a good job also.

I was impressed with Bruno Mars even though I'm not really a fan of that style of music, as I prefer rock/hard rock/grunge/metal. ......but your point has merit. 8)

 

[MrThortan]

Patriots made some halftime adjustments I think. But will it be enough... hopefully not

On that list only Lockett truly popped everyone else either flashed/might be good (Clark, Prosise, Britt). Or suck (Wilson). Or are the real deal but got injured for most their career (Richardson).

 

[Cyrus12]

take the hawk talk to main forum...

well, we will just have to settle with a roster full of "might be good" players. while the patriots and falcons draft above the league average of "studs' per draft.

Hopefully so. It's disgusting that Atlanta will be the Superbowl champion. I can't wait for next year and payback and for Carolina to destroy them as usual.

 

[bigskydoc]

And there's the adjustment to the outside zone. Watch out for the play action now.

 

[Cyrus12]

oh poor butler fell down...

 

[MrThortan]

Think the Pats have improved on containing Freeman so far this half, but the Falcons are just killing them through the air

 

[Largent80]

Gabriel is making Butler look stupid.

 

[IrishNW]

Gabriel is making Butler look stupid.

This must be what it feels like for other fans when sherman gets beat

 

[Cyrus12]

its over...nice to see those cheatin bastards lose.

 

[mistaowen]

Patriots using two lesser defenders to cover Julio, so what to the Falcons do? Adjust their playbook to get everyone but Julio open. He is consistently going down the sideline, taking 2 defenders with him and leaving easy single coverage.

Love watching what a terrific OC can do to manipulate the defense.
